Welcome to KAEG Double Eagle II Airport! As Albuquerque’s second-largest airport, it stands as a vital hub for the general aviation community in central New Mexico. Located just 7 miles northwest of downtown Albuquerque, KAEG offers everything a GA field enthusiast could desire, including an ILS approach on one of its two runways.

Despite its significance, KAEG has never seen any highly detailed scenery in any simulator—until now. Creating this scenery has always been one of my goals, and it was my strong wish to see this airport brought to life in a simulator. I hope you enjoy it.

Installation Instructions:

• Unzip the contents of the package.
• Place the folder named “tumbleweed-airport-kaeg-albuquerque” into your Community folder.

Scenery Highlights:

• Custom-built hangars, buildings, and objects to accurately capture the airport’s unique vibe.
• LODs on some buildings.
• Fully rebuilt runway, taxiway, taxiway signs, and aprons.
• Some custom ground markings.
• Additional parking spots, fuel station and helipad (alas a hot start)
• Airport fence
• Standard assets thoughtfully placed around the airport.
• Refined terrain based on DEM (digital elevation) data with 1m resolution, e.g. trenches and overflow basins are resolved. (note: resampled to 8m with update 1.1, to reduce bumpiness)

No external libraries are required.

Known issues:

The elevation data is a bit noisy, causing some bumpiness in the terrain - maybe more than in reality. I still believe the benefit of having proper elevation data is outweighing this inconvenience, but with update 1.1, I have tried to improve this aspect using a more coarse resolution and some manual editing of some taxiways.

Taxiway edge lights and night lighting are not perfect.
