The lighting effects are another standout feature of this scenery. The transition between day and night is flawlessly executed, with vibrant lighting in the daytime and breathtaking, realistic illumination at night. The runway lights, apron lighting, and the glow of the terminal windows make the airport feel alive, particularly under varying weather conditions.
