Witham Field is located in the city of Stuart in Martin County, Florida, slightly over 100 miles north of Miami. It is my home airport and the default auto-generated version while having most buildings in the right locations, was pretty awful with most of the buildings being the wrong type.
The most distinctive missing feature is the curved ceiling hangars which are depicted as being flat. This ultimately bothered me so much that I figured out how to use the SDK to replace the default with something that is more accurate.
DISCLAIMER:
This Scenery is created with standard Microsoft/Asobo objects only, so no custom buildings. I tried to match the buildings as best as I could with what is available, but, this is NOT a prototypical remake of the airport.
Anybody who has been to the real thing will quickly be able to point out the differences between what is really there and what I have added and fixed. They would also be able to tell you that my version looks and feels closer to the original than the default auto-generated version.
If you want a complete KSUA remake that is identical to the original, this is not the mod for you. If you want KSUA to at least look and feel more like the actual airport while allowing that it is far from perfect... welcome!
EXTRAS:
I added the two helipads that are available at the airport by the main tower.
WATER FIXES:
In addition to modifying the airport, I also spent considerable time adding exclusion polygons from Palm Beach to Vero Beach to fix all of the bridges and roads that are covered up with water. This is a real problem in South Florida in MSFS. I started with fixing the bridges in Stuart... and then... next thing I know, I am in Palm Beach and fixed all of the bridges and roads from Palm Beach to Vero Beach. If you fly down to Miami, a great Water Fix for Miami is available for download, which I recommend getting.
FEATURES:
Water Fixes for bridges and roads stretching from Palm Beach to Vero Beach on the Florida Treasure Coast

I know I just uploaded this, but I already felt compelled to add a bit more to the airport. 1.4 coming before the end of the day. More buildings were replaced, and a wee bit of static elements were added to give it just a bit more "life" and have it resemble a working airport a bit more.
