PLEASE READ BEFORE LEAVING ANY COMMENTS OR REVIEWS
Because of the complexity of this airport I decided to release a developer version of the Detroit Metro Wayne Airport meaning is fully functional but the interior terminals are not 100% complete!
While you guys enjoy flying in and out of DTW I will continue working on completing the airport. This process will take me probably another half of year or more. All the flying aspects like Runways, Taxiways, Taxi signs, Gates and so on are updated according to Navigraph charts. The airport was designed to work with default ATC and online like Vatsim or Pilotedge or any other online services you prefer.
ILS frequencies were updated and aligned for all runways supporting the instrument landing system. Textures were applied to the exterior terminals but it is an in work progress meaning some of the textures might not look perfect.
The tunnel under the runway 09L-27R and taxiway`s V and F is in work progress as well, you might see the ground mesh snapping or being off, depending on your system, but for now that's the best I could do. Please understand that SDK offered by Asobo/ MFS has limitations, so I had to improvise a little.
If you are experience any issues with Dev 0.7 version please download dev 0.6 version. You will have the option to chose witch version you prefer. Version 0.7 is the latest version but it is not complete.
The airport ground traffic should follow their path but again it might be off in some cases.
I did assign airliners to specific gates but it doesn't work all the time. Even the AIG traffic is ignoring the gates I assigned. I will continue testing and working on this matter, for the time being it will stay the way it is.
**Please let me know if you run into an error I made regarding taxiways, taxi sings, ils being way too off or any other flying aspects of this airport.**
**Anything related to the terminal or parking or any none flying aspects, please be patient, it is still in working progress.**
**FOR OTHER DEVELOPERS**
If you are a developer interested on having your input or helping, please contact me via private message. Please include other projects you worked or currently working on.
**Installation**
Delete the older version of KDTW from your community folder. Extract the latest KDTW-Detroit Metro Wayne-Developer x.x to your community folder.
Recommendation:
To have the best experience using this airport please download and install AIG Ai Manager and Traffic from here:
Full tutorial on how to install the AIG Traffic here:
Tutorial created by 2020 fs`ers
I created a short video explaining what you need to do to make Detroit Airport look more realistic.
Until this airport its 100% I hope you enjoy using the developer version of DTW.
Thank You for understanding and Happy Flying!

How would i go about updating my nav data to get the waypoints of STARS to show up again?
6 months ago
Unfortunately there is no free version of the nav data as far as i know. I use Navigraph but thats a membership. You will need to wait for Asobo/MSFS to come out with a new version and hopefully they update the nav data.
I do not have control of that

The airport itself is great but I am currently inbound and for some reason all the waypoints for my arrival didn't load in correctly, so I'm wondering if there's an issue with the airport or...? I do have default navdata so that could be part of it.

I landed in KDTW default scenery yesterday and started searching flightsim.to immediately for an improvement scenery to replace the ugly default one. I came a cross this amazingly beautifull scenery. The quality of it, the details... I absolutely love it! This scenery is great! 😊

For some reason I keep getting the default airport with this installed. I only have 1 version installed and I've used this mod before, but it's not showing up for me.

Make sure it is installed in the community folder, if you have MSF2020 steam version and you created a shortcut of your community folder will not work. It has to be in the default community folder of steam.

This scenery looks really good. There are just some minor issues with floating cars in the parking garage area by north terminal D and some minor ground texture issues down taxiway M. Nothing that stops anyone from using the airport. Best of all, it (surprisingly) had no impact at all on FPS for me. Seems very lightweight on resources for how detailed it is.
Amazing job!
Btw, I'm using SU10 beta, so some of the issues I'm seeing could be related to that, not sure. Wasn't even concerned about those issues.

Thanks, I just noticed today the floating cars as well, i will fix that on the upcoming update

This is very nice, especially for freeware.
One criticism I might have would be that the night lighting is VERY bright and seems to be a very harsh white light that doesn't look realistic, to my eye, compared to what I've seen at night at airports. I've never been to DTW and so have not seen the airport at night first hand, but it seems to me like it would look better if the lighting were toned down a bit. You may already be planning to improve night lighting considering how much incremental progress you've already made.
This looks a bit closer to what I'd expect, a yellower light that isn't so stark and white. As it is now, it really washes out all the textures: https://thepointsoflife.boardingarea.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/wpid-wp-1405915134320.jpeg

Thank you, i agree with you about the night lighting, it is one of the tasks for the next update

Astounding. The amount of detail and time that went into crafting this (and it is crafted) is immense.
