Features:
- A true fully native scenery, designed from the ground up for Prepar3D 4.
- Designed for PBR, with advanced materials and shaders.
- Complete Dynamic Lighting, optimized for speed. Two levels of complexity controlled by the in-game YouControl menu.
- Completely made using the P3D4 SDK.
- Highly detailed SODE Jetways.

Product Cost
The standard product cost is 27.00 EUR.
Limited Time offer with Upgrade Warranty
We know 2020 will be a transition year, waiting for new versions of the popular flight simulators to arrive, and users might be concerned having to possibly buy again all their add-ons when the new simulators will eventually arrive. We have an history of always allowing updates to support new simulator versions, some of our products were initially made for FS9, and users are still using them successfully in Prepar3D 4.
Until new major versions of the most important simulator platforms will be released, this scenery will be sold at the reduced price of 18 EUR. This will be considered as an advance payment for the purchase of the next version.
The price will go back to 27.00 after we'll release a version compatible with new major version of Flight Simulator or Prepar3D
This way, you can start using this scenery now in Prepar3D 4, with a lower price, and you'll have the option to upgrade to a new version, as soon it will be available, that will run in the next Flight Simulator or Prepar3D. This being a fully PBR project, it will likely look not out of place, and possibly even better, with better graphic engines that will arrive in the future.

Taking a close look, there are some deficiencies that need to be mentioned:
- The glass textures of the main terminal and the main airport building are not represented that well. There's too much of a green/blueish colour tint to the glass, especially during the night.
- The storefronts inside the terminal are modelled and textured in a very crude fashion with ugly low resolution textures mostly out of proportion and perspective. In a terminal as glassy as this one, this does not look good when being parked right in front of them. They could have done a more detailed modelling OR made the glass front less transparent, either would have helped a lot. But right now the view out of the cockpit on many stands is not a nice one.
- SODE jetways are present, however they do not dock to AI aircraft.
- There is 3D approach light modelling for RWY15, however the lights itself are not mounted onto these models and are flat on the ground instead.
- The aerial photo has not been matched that well to ORBX textures regarding colour and saturation, so the cut between the add-on and the surrounding scenery is clearly visible in all seasons except Winter.
So while I think it is a nice add-on, some questionable design decisions do darken the overall impression quite a bit, it just doesn't look state-of-the-art. At least performance is excellent, no issues at all with FPS or fluid movement.
This scenery works ONLY in Prepar3D 4.4 and above. Version 4.5 or above is suggested. The only officially supported OS is Windows 10. A video card with 8GB of VRAM is required to use the full scenery resolution. GSX Level 2 is required, and can be used for free at this airport.
