Thanks for the great screenshot of the (control) tower Dave Love the perspective. This sent me on a mission to see what the tower looks like in real life. Troph was the first to comment on the tower. if I am remembering correctly he said he found the tower with what looked like a light on the top. I immediately thought of a beacon tower. But maybe he was seeing what Dave pictured above (They were both in FSX). Anyway, the real KIGM control tower is pictured here, as well as the terminal/cafe, and with additional interesting information In 2020 which was all (I believe)) auto generated (ORBX had at least selected what looked like a control tower) I am not sure what was displayed by 2020/Asobo Studio. I will post the 2020 screenshots and later in the thread, other screenshots from the flight.

Finally, screenshots from our trip in Arizona, with the final information about another sim's handling of the control tower. So far I believe that the prize for the tower that looks more like the real thing will have to go to the FSX/Orbx system, maybe P3D who might run the same ORBX scenery as FSX might get a prize, as well. You will see that 2020 failed. My PC-12 horse for the mountainous trip in parts of AZ was perfect for the job. This is a Carenado/Microsoft aircraft. A mesa ahead.. Troph commented on all the mesas in this part of AZ Our potty and snack break was at the famous Sedona KSEZ airport. Every sim has scenery upgrades for this airport. I found one of our group parked here looking at this building - this must be the 2020 tower (No resemblance, as they say). It is not even a good terminal. I even took a bird's eye view to see if I could find a control tower. Nope, Nil and Nada. That is enough about a sim tower. Until next time.
