Thank you for creating this beautiful scenery! I've been flying out of MPTO quite a bit lately, and this really adds to the immersion. The custom buildings and the fire station are really nice touches. I used to work for the city at KDEN and many people don't know how much work goes into keeping those ARFF stations with 100% clear access to the airfield in all weather conditions. It's quite an important part of real world aviation and I'm glad to see it included in your scenery. Cheers!

Little Navmap complains about broken syntax of one of the bgl files of this scenery. Any chance it could be recompiled using the current SDK?

Hello, thanks for this airport. The default MPTO in MSFS is let's just say... lacking.
Since i create flight plans outside of the sim, i had no idea that the default MSFS Tocumen is completely unusable. No gates, no aprons, no service stands and the worst - not even freakin' taxiways.
There's just one crappy runway (without PAPI lights) that isn't connected to anything.
Now why is an airport this large and important left in this state i have no clue whatsoever.
I'm super glad that i found this mod, because it makes MPTO usable (not to mention it looks a hell of a lot better than the default airports).
Right now i'm doing this around-the-world thing. I'm trying to do one leg per day. The last leg of my journey was two days ago, from Martinique/Fort-de-France [TFFF] to Panama/Tocumen [MPTO].
I had no clue about the sorry state of the default MSFS MPTO, and i haven't noticed it from the air either, there was fog and ILS/localizer worked. I landed on the only available runway (3R), and only during braking i noticed that there aren't taxiways. So i turned the A320Neo into an offroad and went across the grass to the patch of concrete in front of the random generic building that is there instead of the actual terminal and gates.
After shutting down the plane, i immediately started searching for better version of the airport and found this mod. So, again - thanks for creating it. Looks great.
I got an issue, though.
My next leg is supposed to be from Panama/Tocumen [MPTO] to Peru/Cuzco [SPZO]. I installed this mod, so i could do a proper cold start from the gate and not use the horrible default runway, i created the FPL, spawned at the gate, and started prepping the plane.
Everything went normal, but since i'm trying to do this in somewhat realistic way, this process is quite time-consuming.
There is the ADIRs alignment, fueling, checklists, a lot of waypoints to manually insert into the FMGC, so it usually takes around an hour, sometimes hour and half, before i can roll out to the RWY and start flying.
Until this point, everything worked, i got to the RWY, got the clearance to take off, departed the airport and started doing a climbing turn to my clearance altitude/first waypoint, and when i hit about two minutes airborne, everything went bye-bye. A little stutter and an unceremonious exit to the desktop. This happened twice already.
So i already lost cca two and half hours by preparing the plane, only for MSFS to crash when i finally get to fly the damn thing.
I'm not saying that it's caused by this airport, after all i'm also using FBW A320Neo and FSLTL - and there's usually pretty heavy traffic around MPTO, so maybe it's caused by the FSLTL Traffic, i don't know.
I didn't have time to troubleshoot this in the usual one-mod-at-a-time way.
The problem might be caused by something else.
I just wanted to check whether someone experienced something like that as well, and if yes, what did you do to fix it.
Any tips are welcome.
This CTD during departure happened to me once already - it was few weeks ago when i was trying to leave Venezuela/

At first glance, it looks good. Some small details i noticed that can be improved, based on satellite images i saw, are the following:
If you can, add star on the world map menu, as well as satelite images, since it displays only grass.
On the west (yellow) terminal, there's 1 gate missing, between the gates 217 and 214.
On the central (blue terminal), there are 6 jetways indeed, but only 3 heavy gates, instead of 6 small/medium ones.
On the east (red) terminal, gate 109 should be in parallel with the taxiway H, and not forming an angle. Also, it's size is small and not heavy.
Other than that, it looks pretty close to the one in real life.

I have an error by reading file by Little Nav Map:
Some files or scenery directories could not be loaded.You should check that the airfields affected are displayed correctly and that the correct information is displayed.
Error: readInt for file "C:/Users/User/AppData/Roaming/Microsoft Flight Simulator/Packages/Community/kychungdotcom-airport-mpto-tocumen/scenery/airport-mpto.bgl" failed. Reason 1

According to the "Known Issues" section in Little Navmap website, it states that for those airports which shows something like "Little Navmap reports Error: readInt for file "...OMITTED.../LEMG.bgl" failed. Reason 1." message, exclude the airport file from reading in "options" on page "Scenery Library Database" or simply ignore the message."

I get an error message with this airport when I sync my library to Little Navmap. The airport loads fine, but the error message has happened even after downloading the airport twice. Not a big deal, just informing you in case you can easily spot what the issue is. I can send the whole log file if you need it.

Some files or scenery directories could not be read.
You should check if the airports of the affected sceneries display correctly and show the correct information.

hello
I found an issue : I have 2 runway 03R/22L (one on top of the other)
only for this runway
I 'm using "navigraph-navdata" so it may be the cause, but how come it only happens to 03R/22L and not to 03L/22R
did you tick "runway delete" in the SDK editor ?
anyway thanks again
2 years ago
It'd be practically impossible for Navigraph Navdata to be responsible for this, otherwise every single runway in the sim would be doubled, and only the runways that are exclusive to Navigraph would be singles.
