Could somone please help me by creating some scenery for KPTK(Oakland Pontiac International)?  The default FS Scenery is terribly innacurate (Buildings are near the right spot but all proportions are completely wrong and out of place).  The runway 18/36 in FS is now 17/35 in real life and the taxiways have been redone.  There is also a lot of new construction as far as some new hangars go and the Jet test deflector is not even aknowledged by FS.

Here is a link to a current airport diagram for KPTK.  http://www.fboweb.com/dpp/05052AD.PDF 

KPTK is the 6th busiest GA airport in the world.  There are all types of aircraft operating out of PTK from ultralights to A320 BizJets on a daily basis.  PTK is also a major pilot training center and has numerous FBOs on the field.  I just would like PTK to finally get the attention it deserves from scenery designers. 

Thank you in advance. 

P.S.  If anyone is considering taking on this project and would like some more info and pics of the airport please private message me.

Layne,

I have already searched SimV and Avsim.  The scenrey and AFCADS are out of date and do not reflect the new taxiway, runway, and hangar layout.  The only scenery that is any improvment over the default FSX is not set up to work with the FSX terrain and looks terrible.  I have flown for real out of KPTK and I am beginning my flight training there very soon, but I would be wasting my time flying out of an unrealistic airport.  I(and hopefully many other Simulator pilots) would enjoy seeing KPTK being updated.  I use FSX and KPTK is one of the only airports that I am truly dissapointed in.  I hope somone will be able to help me! 

Again, anyone who could help, it would be greatly appreciated.  PM me if you need some pictures of the airport or any more information about KPTK.
