Just uploaded to Flightsim.com, and should be available for download from the library within the next 24 hrs.

Fua'amotu International Airport, Nuku'alofa, Tonga. NFTF. For FSX SP-2.

Welcome to Fua'amotu International Airport, in the beautiful Pacific Island paradise
of the Kingdom of Tonga.
This scenery contains detailed representations of both the International terminal area,
and the Domestic terminal area.
There is also some added detail outside the airport, but its been kept simple in the
interests of conserving FPS on slower or less powerful computers.

Some random pics shot during the construction of the scenery..............

Very nice as usual Lawrie.
One point though is that Nuku'alofa has a bright concrete runway and not asphalt. It is one of it's unique characteristics. It is so bright in fact that it really doesn't need runway lights!
It can be seen very clearly in Google earth or maps.

CP .. Hells thats interesting , guess the crushed corel and the sun radiating on it .... maybe they should rename the airport 'HOMER'

Thats interesting,............. i know it has a concrete/crushed coral runway that is very white,.......... ive been there.
Ive just now opened the AFCAD in AFX, and it definately says ive done the runway in concrete.
I do have "Zinertec Ultimate Airport Environment X" installed in FSX,........... it does change the colour of all the airport ground textures in FSX.
Hence the concrete apron you see in the pics is not the default FSX bright white concrete with the expansion cuts in it.
I guess the same would go for the runway surface as well.
Be intersting to see a pic of the colour of the runway in a default FSX setup.

It used to be crushed coral but now it is concrete. I suspect that they used the coral in concrete manufacturing process as it is the whitest concrete I have ever seen. You definitely need sunnies on when operating near it!
