In Guezzam Airport (DATG) is a regional civilian and military airport in southern Algeria, on the border with Niger. It is serviced by regular ATR 72-600 flights from Aguenar Airport (DAAT), in Tamanrasset. Pilots flying over the region can admire exotic desert landcapes featuring mountains, dunes and vast expanses of red sand.
This Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 rendition strives to reproduce the airport as faithfully as possible as it appears in the few available photos and in satellite imagery. It features a bespoke terminal and control tower undergoing almost completed renovations, with some fresh paint still to be applied. Adjacent to the airport is a small but growing Algerian military base, featuring bespoke Mi-24 Hind attack helicopters with Algerian Air Force livery on the tarmac. Sand is encroaching on almost every surface in this very remote location...
The airport itself features ground services for medium aircraft and a VOR approach. Pilots will need to land here manually.
Features:
- 4K PBR textures in multiple layers
- A sandy under construction look and feel, as shown on the recent photographs
- Reconstruction of the adjacent military camp with accurate Algerian Air Force Mi-24 helicopters.
- VOR approach with official PDF airport chart included
- Detailed sandy sidewalks, runways, aprons, and lots of objects to provide ambiance
- Realistic night lighting
- Very FPS-friendly

Great airport with very nice features, hope many more developers would focus on Africa, this beautiful part of the world often overlooked by the airsim community.
Very good release in a region where there's so little quality scenery available!
The modelling is detailed and textures are crisp, a lot of care has been given to integrate the airport into its surroundings, well done!
If I could wish for one area of improvement it would be for the runway- and apron textures to be a bit more life-like and less sterile looking, with more imperfections added to the concrete and markings.
One of the best if not the best developer right now for the African continent. We need more of this!
