Ny-Ålesund is a small town in Oscar II Land on the island of Spitsbergen in Svalbard, Norway. It is situated on the Brøgger peninsula and on the shore of the bay of Kongsfjorden. The company town is owned and operated by Kings Bay, which provides facilities for permanent research activities by 19 institutions from 11 countries. The town is ultimately owned by the Ministry of Climate and Environment and is not incorporated (i.e. is not recognised as a town by the Norwegian government). Its facilities include NyÅlesund Airport, Hamnerabben, Svalbard Rocket Range, a port and Ny-Ålesund Town and Mine Museum, as well as a number of buildings dedicated to research and environmental monitoring activities. It is the northernmost functional civilian settlement in the world.
Ny-Ålesund Airport, Hamnerabben ( ICAO: ENAS) is an airport serving the research community of Ny-Ålesund in Svalbard, Norway. The airport is owned by Kings Bay, who also owns the company town. The only flights available are to Svalbard Airport, Longyear, operated two to four times a week by Lufttransport using Dornier 228 aircraft. The services are organized as corporate charters and tickets are only available after permission from Kings Bay.
FEATURES
Shading and occlusion (texture baking) effects on terminal and other airport buildings
Sorry, in my evaluation I made a mistake (and cannot correct it by myself afterwards):
please exchange the both IATA codes ENSB and ENAS. Because:
ENSB is Svalbard Longyear Intl airport, whereas ENAS is Ny Alesund airport.
What an unexpected nice little scenery. Obviously, the design is performed with a lot of engagement: the gravel runway, an antenna next to some airport buildings and several buildings of the nearby Ny Alesund settlement are included. Seems to me that some of the surrounding mountains and glaciers are included, too.
Originally, P3D4 doesn't include ENSB; however, after installation it is, and you can start your scenec flight over Spitzbergen on one of the few parking stands. Or fly over to ENAS, the Longyear Intl airport (this, however is not included here, but in P3D it is). Installation is done for two parts of ENSB that are downloaded, their size is 770 MB plus 357 MB (each for the v4 and the v5/v6 version of P3D). So the announced size of over 2 GB on simMarket's homepage include all 4 files). Have a lot of fun, especially for the special price that is offered at this moment.
