KDMW is a GA airport 30 miles NW of Baltimore, MD. The default airport and approach paths are covered in trees which makes it impossible to fly in to without getting leaves and branches stuck in your landing gear. This project was intially started as strictly a tree clearing experiment (I am new to the MSFS SDK and scenery design in general) but it grew a bit as I learned more about the SDK. In addition to clearing the abundant amount of trees inside the airport perimeter and on the approaches to runways 16 & 34, I also added some other features to make the airport more realistic and enjoyable. All of the objects added are MSFS SDK objects (no custom 3D modelling). No modifications were done to the aprons/runways/taxiways.
Here are the improvements I have added to KDMW:
1. Trees removed/resized inside the airport boundary and on the approach paths using Google Earth as a reference.
2. The small GA hangars (AI) have been replaced with more realistic models that more closely resemble the real hangars.
3. The large GA hangar (AI) on south side of the airport has been replaced with a more plausible model.
4. Windsock moved to the proper location and is now lit at night.
5. The industrial AI buildings on the north part of the airport property (Carroll County Road Ops) were replaced with more plausible buildings with some added work trucks and contruction materials.
6. Fuel tanks, pump and small building added to the GA fueling area near the small GA hangars. Large fuel tank added near the large GA hangars.
7. Airport beacon moved to the proper location.
8. Emissive lights added to large GA hangars, industrial area and SkyTech building.
9. Several static aircraft were placed around the airport.
10. A few of the AI buidings surrounding the airport on the south side were replaced with better models.

I hope this improves your enjoyment of KDMW and I will likely come back and update as I learn more about the SDK capabilies.

Thank you! One would think using "AI" these things would not happen... 😀
