The airport and island of El Hierro are part of the long-awaited rework of Sim-wings’ “Canary Islands” series for Prepar3D V4 & V5. Though the island is the smallest of the Canaries it has a beautiful charm and its airport excites with an approach demanding the pilot´s full concentration and skills.

High resolution ground textures based on an aerial image as well as Autogen cover the whole island. A custom 3D Mesh Terrain has been created for the airport featuring an underpass and a sloped car park.

Dynamic car traffic around the airport is being supplied by the integrated AESLite. Another highlight is the excellent night texturing giving you a real “wow” factor when flying by night. This version for Prepar3D V4 further improved and extended light effects. Now El Hierro also has 3D runway lighting, dynamic apron lights and headlights for the apron traffic.

Features:

• High-resolution ground textures based on aerial images with a resolution of 25cm/Pixel for the complete island
• Custom, detailed 3D mesh for the airport area with an underpass and a sloped car park
• Dynamic car traffic on the airport feeder and surroundings (AESLite)
• All buildings/installations of the airport surroundings
• Excellent night textures
