Wilmington International Airport (ICAO: KILM) is a public airport located just north of Wilmington, North Carolina, in unincorporated Wrightsboro, Cape Fear Township, New Hanover County.
I'm proud to release version 2.0 of this airport! The general goal was to bring this up-to-par with my KTTA release. New features in this version include:
- Updated building meshes for the gate/terminal with full PBR textures
- Custom satellite imagery for the airport grounds
- Various fixes to taxiways/PAPI lights/etc
- No more terrain issues from the previous version
More custom models are in the works for various other buildings such as Modern Aviation FBO and the US Customs office. However, they are placeholder'd with standard MSFS buildings for now. This is already such a huge improvement over the previous version of this airport that I wanted to go ahead and release a 2.0 while I work on other improvements.
will you plan on updating this?
thanks

I recently flew out of KILM and they have finished the new terminal expansion. Are you planning to update the main terminal?

Fantastic work! I'm originally from Wilmington. I've seen this airport change across the decades. I think you've done a remarkable job modeling this airport. My only issue, and someone may have raised this already, is the jetway bridges are disconnected from the airport. The parts that connect to the airplane are sitting out by themselves. Looks a little strange. Other than that, looks great.

This scenery is amazing, as someone who works here it is almost exactly like how it is in person. One thing I would recommend changing is the spawn at Modern Aviation. Planes are normally parked on the sides of the yellow box in front so the spawn that is in the middle is incorrect, having one or 2 on each side like how you put the bonanza would be perfect. Images of what I mean should be attached, Avgas go on the side with the bonanza and jets go on the other side with the noses facing each other, if you could make that change this scenery would be near perfect in my opinion

Wow awesome feedback, thank you! I'll definitely look at tweaking the parking in the next update.

Thank you for your hard work and contribution! I landed at KILM just a bit ago with an ILS Y approach into 35 and everything worked perfectly. ATC also gave a correct gate assignment and taxi routing to the gate. Great work! The only issue I have was no lighting for the terminal gates; very dark. I'm glad to provide a screen shot if it might be helpful. There is lighting visible beyond the gates and into the other buildings.

Thanks for the feedback. I've improved lighting around the gates in the latest patch version.

Thank you for creating this scenery. Very nice!
-The next information is not a criticism but simply advice:

Thanks. Latest version has a new modelLib name that should be conflict-free.

Beautiful airport! Only issue is that the jetway links are missing for me and there are very few taxi way markings 😞

Hm were they missing for you across multiple flights? There is a known issue in the base sim where jetways can disappear sometimes, sadly nothing I can do about it afaik.
Anyways this airport is still being worked on! In the next release I do hope to complete an overhaul of the taxiways with better signage and correct namings.

G'day to al those who live in Wilmington. I'm from Australia and flew into your airport on business trip back in 1995. Delayed flight from Atlanta. Got in so late the cab driver said he didn't know flights came in that late. Stayed at the Hilton and had business in Whiteville. That was where southern country hospitality really started. Got out of a cab in the main street of Whiteville and someone came up from the local store and offered me a bottle of Coke. Fond memories. I guess the big clothing factory in Whiteville has gone south now like everything else.

Just so you know there are some mesh issues here. The airport does look good but there are terrain issues all over the airport. Looks like this was already reported but it has not been fixed yet
