Airworthy Designs has done a fantastic job at recreating the Princess Juliana International Airport on the island of Sint Maarten. In my opinion, this airport is the best rendition of the island available on the market and far superior (still in my opinion) to the Asobo/Microsoft/Gaya free version included with MSFS.
However, this scenery has 3 major drawbacks:
- the gates and airport layout are very poorly optimized for AI traffic
- there are too many redundant static aircrafts
- the scenery depicts the airport (and its suroundings) as they were BEFORE hurricane Irma in 2017.
For this reason, I decided to update the airport myself to make it more actual by removing some old buildings destroyed after Irma and adding new ones like the beautiful Morgan Hotel from the Microsoft default scenery.
I also removed plenty of static aircrafts, added 6 new parking (2 for private jets, 2 for cargo, 1 at the Winair ramp and 1 at Sxm Airways/Windward Express ramp)
Finally, I resized all the existing gates and parking so the correct aircrafts can park where they should park.
VERY IMPORTANT: before installing this mod, you need have the AWD Sint Maarten and Grand Case scenery V1.5.0 (really make sure that you have the 1.5.0 and not 1.4.1) already installed and make sure also that the Microsoft version of TNCM is uninstalled from your content manager. Otherwise this mod won't work.
One last word, I would like to give a big shoutout to MarceloNahas and all the nice members from the AlphaIndiaGroup discord !
Enjoy !

If so could you make a version with just 1 or 2 KLM or Air France for example like in the photos?
Many Thanks, Harry

Your instructions say to make sure "AWD Sint Maarten and Grand Case scenery V1.5.0 (really make sure that you have the 1.5.0 and not 1.4.1) already installed in your community folder"
I don't have the AWD TNCM in my community folder. I have verified that version 1.5.0 is installed in my content manager from the market place though. Will this still work?
Thanks

Quick question though - am I seeing correctly the folder TNCM_Assets includes assets from the default Asobo/Gaya airport? There is a couple of freeware airports that use stuff from the default TNCM (jetways etc.) and I wasn't able to utilize them because I had to delete it before installing the Airworthy Designs version. Would you think it's possible to use your assets folder as a replacement of the Asobo airport for the purpose of using their assets elsewhere?
