La Palma – the north-western of the Canary Islands now for Prepar3D V4!

With this scenery the first from the „Canary Islands“ series by Sim-wings is available now for Lockheed Martin’s modern flight simulator. La Palma, nick named the “Green Island”, features high-resolution ground textures, a stunning 3D ground mesh and an absolutely realistic virtual Airport. Enjoy the very special approach to the airport located right next to the Atlantic Ocean that charms with its uniquely beautiful mood at night or dusk – now even more atmospheric thanks to Prepar3D V4’s advanced lighting features!

AESLite completes the package with dynamic airport traffic and ships at the airport feeder.

Features:

• High resolution ground textures based on an aerial image 25cm/pixel for the immediate surroundings of the airport and 0,50 cm for the rest of the island
• Custom 3D Mesh in the airport area with an underpass, bridges, roads and a sloped coast line; all buildings and roads on correct levels
• Seamless transition from 3D height model to mesh due to modelled banana plantations
• All buildings/installations of the airport surroundings included in high detail
• Also included are the major port facilities, sightseeing spots in Santa Cruz, the telescopes on the Roque de los Muchachos as well as the apartment complex on approach of the RWY 19
