The busiest airport in Germany, Frankfurt Airport, is now available for Prepar3D V4 & V5. This stunning scenery created by the award-winning German Airports Team conveys the ultimate Mega Airport feeling. Get started in international aviation and depart from Germany’s main hub. Realistically scaled and with all airport buildings modelled, this add-on takes you on a huge journey.
Taxi along the taxiway bridges to the runway or check out the new Terminal B. High resolution textures, dynamic lighting, seasonal changes and the even more realistic runway lighting will make your pilot’s heart skip a beat.
Features:
- All 3D objects of the airport area according to the official documents of the Fraport AG
- Realistically scaled 3D objects of the complete Cargo City South with all buildings
- 3D objects of the “Mönchhof” area when approaching the runway “North” with all buildings based on current images
- Aerial image with customized autogen objects in the close vicinity of the airport covering about 140 km² including the towns of Eddersheim, Okriftel, Kelsterbach, Zeppelinheim, Walldorf and parts of Raunheim
- Additional aerial image of the airport area (8 X 6 Km)
- Usable taxiway bridges connecting the new runway “North”
- New Lufthansa Terminal A-Plus
- New Terminal B with all Satellites
- Original taxiway signs as well as new taxiways in the south and sout-west
- New ICE station “The Square” with parking lot
- Numerous new buildings at the airport
New in the version for Prepar3D:
- All code (BLGs) compiled with P3D V4 SDK, using new material options and being performance optimised to the new engine
- All objects optimised for new shadow technology
- Ground layout including detailed aerial image following P3DV4 SDK
- Automatic seasonal changes of relevant 3D objects based on V4 scripting variables, also for snowfall outside winter season
- New, individual ground adaptations to prevent steps at airport borders when using different meshes (e.g. default/FTX Global)
- New, optimised 3D runway lighting with activation/deactivation based on time of day and weather conditions
- Apron lamps with new effects and dynamic light
- Changed AFCAD approaches at Airac 1708
But ... the shear size of this airport, the amount of overall detail, this is just mind-blowing and a credit to the designers. And the shortcomings are soon lost in this massive and highly detailed airport. Even taxying up the slope for the highway overpass, your 737 will require extra power to get over it. Landing on an out runway such as 26R, expect 20+ minutes of great taxying past close to 100 other aircraft before you get to your gate, which in itself is well detailed giving you the feeling of really being there. And the FPS was great throughout the experience.
Definitely deserves to be in the 5/5 airports.

Highly recommend!
Also with the whole new GSX level 2 and Sode stuff, it's really easy to configure the airport to have working Sode jetways!
