FSX Albuquerque International Scenery

Albuquerque International Sunport (KABQ) gets a practical accuracy pass with updated jetways, real-world gate assignments, and refined apron layouts for smoother AI and ground operations in Microsoft Flight Simulator X. The cargo ramp and fuel truck parking are reworked, civil stands are removed from the Kirtland AFB ramp, and city placement is adjusted near the airport edge.

A commercial jet is taxiing on a large airport apron with multiple parked airliners and terminal buildings in the background.

Albuquerque International Airport (KABQ), New Mexico (NM). This package will make KABQ fully functional - FSX gates/jetways are added to match the real terminal, cargo pad has been modified to closer match reality, numerous fuel truck spots have been added, the Kirtland AFB ramp has been cleared of civil parking, and the aprons have been adjusted closer to reality. By Mike Lyons.

First let me list some of what is new for the FSX default KATL airport.

Jetways and gate assignments are accurate based off all available public data.
Civil traffic has been removed from the Kirtland AFB military ramp.
The cargo ramp parking has been redone to bring it closer to reality.

Future plans:

I plan to work more on the KABQ_fsx_airport_scenery file to add military static aircraft. I debate on making the cargo ramp/terminal area more complex - cargo containers, luggage areas, etc - frame rates are critical.

Acknowledgements:

If you have problems or questions about airport design and AI operation, first try to get help on a forum where scenery and airport design experts congregate,
