Description
You, yes you, are here to witness the rebirth of KTNX Tonopah Test Range Airport.
Just like Area 51, I've driven past here too. Sadly I was so entranced by my ZR1's reflection in the rear of a particularly shiny tanker on the freeway I mindlessly chugged past making cooing noises.
Not a great deal of information about current activities at this place is out there and I only dug out about 10 reference photos that were of any use.
A small number of F-117s still operate from here. And all the other that aren't dead or in museums also live here in suspended animation. Other than that there's a RQ-170 squadron that comes and goes and that's all they've let the world know about.
Extensive-looking works have been done to the runways and aprons in recent times so it's safe to say that erotic happenings are still on the cards.
90% or more of the buildings have been replaced. Much of the ground has been redone too.
We have accurate ish hangar numbering and plenty of hangars to start in. Multi players will be able to set off en masse.
The Janet ramp, numbers 1-3, has a full set of ground services.
Plenty of detail here and there. It could use a bit more, and better apron textures in places, but I'm so bored of staring at this joint you'll have to lump it for now with what's present.
There are a few items from the Area 51 file, https://flightsim.to/file/11339/kxta-homey-airport-area-51-groom-lake-upgrade I assume anyone using this will also be using that anyway, and a modest number of animated humans from the animated human library https://flightsim.to/file/33166/animated-humans-library
If you find a rogue Predator drone here in the middle of an apron, redownload Area 51 as I must've left it there with a previous version of that file.

Fantastic first class work. Area 51 and TTR are two of my favourite areas. If only Plant 42, Kadena and RAF Fairford could be available in the future.

Good to know it hit the spot. I hope you get plenty of action out of it.

Another 10 out of 10.
Only bug I found was a bump in the turnoff taxiway right next to the runway (the one where the UAS sits on a pad). Gave my F22 quite a jolt after landing!

Man, is this a glitchy area.
Still not seeing it myself but I've given it another brutal flatten so try it again now.

I like that airbase. However I have detectetd somo "pink areas" near of hangars (pic available) and and a problem of height differences between taxiways and main runway, the plane looks like it has to go up a small ramp

Hmm. It's all fine for me.
Sounds like you have another mod that is clashing with this. For some reason the brown asphalt texture is a regular problem.
Some developers seem to replace this one with their own and it affects other airports using the original.
No idea why you'd have elevation problems.

I will try to deselect some mods. If there any significant info I wll inform you.

WTF man. I love your work. Thank you for giving so much to the community!
Once you have done Plant 42 we have the main JANET destinations complete.
Awesome stuff!

Glad you dug it.
Palmdale does have lots of interesting titbits. I seem to be getting slower and slower though so I'm not sure my mind can do much more before seizing up completely.
We'll see how cold and dark this winter is.
