Tehran Imam Khomeini International Airport (Persian: فرودگاه بینالمللی امام خمینی) (IATA: IKA, ICAO: OIIE), also known as Tehran-IKIA or IKIA, is the main international airport of Iran, located 30 kilometres (19 mi) southwest of the city of Tehran, near the localities of Robat Karim and Eslamshahr, on a 13,500-hectare (135 km2) site. It was intended to replace Mehrabad International Airport, which is in the west of the city. The airport was originally named Ahmadabad but was later renamed to Imam Khomeini International Airport.

As of June 2016, Imam Khomeini International Airport serves 49 passenger airlines, 7 charter airlines and 6 cargo airlines operating over 850 of weekly flights connecting Tehran to cities in over 40 countries and territories worldwide.

Visibility of Objects
To optimise the framerate we had to reduce the visibility of some objects at the airport of OIIE as there are simply too many of them. This should not affect you while you are in the cockpit-view. Sometimes - depending upon the angle - as you come closer, a building or airplane appears very suddenly. This is normal and is done so to increase
PRODUCT DISCLOSURE and DISCLAIMER
Similar to any Flight Simulator (FS) Addons, this product may have issues that are either default or developer-related. Issues that are MS-related, whether documented or undocumented are many, but we can only speak for our product. Although there are no micro-stutters or huge lag in fps as tested, it is advisable to lower Effects within P3D Display Settings to High 2x. and set Autogen down to respectable levels for fluidity.
These are recommended for lower to medium-end systems, however the scenery is meant for sliders maxed at 100% peak for those computers who can afford the high level scenery design.
No technical issues were encountered during various beta tests, whether hardware or software- related. Instructions for installation of software are straightforward; however, venturing outside bounds of recommended installation and use is at sole discretion of End-User.
Furthermore, we will not be held responsible if files are altered within software for any reason associated with End-User taste or choice.
The product is Non-refundable for these and various other reasons.
Review it now!
First of all, the lack of SODE - but at least default - jetways is definitely -1 star. Although I knew well at the time of purchase that it does not have these features, I truly expected them to be added post-release. Months later, nothing has changed.
The quality of the surrounding photo scenery is painful. Very, very ugly. If at least one could deactivate it, but it is unfortunately not possible. Then the massive exclusion zone around the airport, lacking any objects, hurts too - no autogen, no custom objects, no nothing, only that awful low resolution photo terrain without anything on it, apart from the immediate area of the airport that has some here and there. The "blending" into the rest of the world is terrible, the whole area stands out sharply, no blending or gradual transition whatsoever. Not even with the default terrain, let alone ORBX Global textures...
As for the existing 3D objects - they look fine, the terminal is alright too and its textures - although not great - acceptable.
This product could achieve a much better rating if some sort of moving jetways and proper photoscenery - that blends well into the rest of the region - would be included, without removing the surrounding autogen completely. If all these were addressed, I could easily rate it at least three but probably four stars.
I am sad that the only Tehran scenery got nothing better than this. I am hoping that it will eventually be improved on, to some degree. At least a proper transition into the surrounding ORBX Global and / or default landlcass, better photoscenery (or no photoscenery at all) and sorting out the exclusion around the airport because it is so barren righ now. The phototerrain depicts houses and trees and other stuff but there is no 3D object placed at all. The whole thing is sparse, empty lacking any details. I do not recommend this product as it currently stands.
Despite that, I highly recommend this airport!
