IMPORTANT NOTES! If you would like purchase the scenery for P3D v4 or v5 we reccommend to purchase the LHBP v2!!
The scenery includes the Liszt Ferenc LHBP airport in high detail.
The Liszt Ferenc LHBP airport (former Ferihegy airport) is Hungary's biggest airport, connecting Hungary's capital Budapest with several European destination.
Features:
High resolution photobackground covering the airport and the close vincinity of the airport
Seasonal textures of background and custom (no default) vegetation for all 4 seasons
Airport's taxiway/gate/parking stand layout represents accurately the current status
Custom textured taxiways, runways and aprons
Very accurate projection of the taxilines and markings in high resolution
Background (lines, aprons, concrete textures, dirts, roads etc. on the airport) uses as less layer as possible for the best performance
The background have less vertex (polygons) than our LHDC Debrecen airport where there is only one runway and much less parking stands, taxiways
Custom 3D runway edgelights, taxilights, touch down zone lights, approach light poles
Custom light system at the whole airport, no default light system is used, means all lights are there where the real one is
Intensive use of LOD's (Level of detail), farer objects are projected in a simplified detail to reduce the amount of vertex's to be drawned by the GPU
Buildings are accurately modelled with optimized resolution (the resolution may be less than what we usually used in our present sceneries but this is due to the large size and high amount of buildings of the airport to optimize performance)
The inside of the SkyCourt (Main terminal, T2) is modelled (you can see through the window)
Reflection (glass) and bump (normal map or depth map) textures are used in FSX for the best appearence
Custom reflection map is used not the ugly FS default one. Reflection map is used for setting what should be seen in window reflection
"Baked" shadows on the textures so even if you switch off the shadow option in FS you will still see the shadows on the ground and on the buildings which enourmeously increases the realism and less performance is needed for the GPU
During winter the building's roofs will be covered with snow
The aviation museum close to the final of rwy 31L is modelled by Tibor Kókai
All published approches will be created in the AFCAD file, means all RNAV, ILS, VOR, NDP approaches will be available in the default FS GPS/GNS
Automatic season change for vegatation, photobackground and building's roof
Animated vehicles on the aprons
Completaly automatic installation. If the FS is installed correctly, after the scenery installation it can be used immediately, the scenery will be registered automatically in the scenery library and the dll's will be registered
Requis
Microsoft Flight Simulator X (FSX) SP2 or Acceleration
Works great and looks brilliant in FSX and P3Dv2/3 highly recommended for these platforms
5/5 star. one of my favourite airports for FSX!
BUT,
too many problems trying to get this working correctly alongside other 'Add-Ons' in P3Dv4 and P3Dv5.
It will not work correctly alongside any airports made by 'Flightbeam', due to the way it installs the scenery.
It does work as intended once you install it into the 64-Bit platforms. But, it has the unwanted side effect of blocking all your other 3rd party 'Flightbeam' airports from working alongside LHBP once you install it.
Their is some kind of Fix on the LHSimulations forum, but the solution is not user friendly.
Would like to give 5 stars because if you install it as your very first payware airport/scenery/feature product it works and looks great. Unfortunately like other users on their forum i have now lost all buildings in P3D.
Reinstalling does not remedy this problem and their web help does not fix the problem.
I bought this in May 2020 and cannot recommend it if you have gsx (they have listed this program as the problem) as their object placer dll does not work with it.
If they actually fix this one day for P3D then please disregard this review.
Nice! I flew out of Budapest yesterday and was looking for a P3D V4 version which I found. It does have the feel of the real airport and is a overall nice add on. The P3D V4 seems to work well.
Superbe scene, très peu gourmande en FPS, très fluide..........Très beau travail.A noter, le passage sous les projecteurs d'éclairages avec la lumières qui grimpe en intensité puis reduction de la lumière en s'éloignant du point lumineux. Sans aucune hésitation..... en espèrant d'autres addons aussi réussis Bonne Année 2017
Nice scenery, a descent performance but i had many troubles installing the scenery P3D even following the instructions.My buildings dissapeared sometimes.But beside this, a nice addition to my library!
I was using Aerosoft Mega airport Budapest for many years (on FSX and FS9 - the latter no longer on my new computer) and decided on an upgrade. I'm very happy indeed. This version is definitely worth every cent. Visually and performance wise, it outdoes Aerosoft. The grass is volumetric, the night lighting spectacular and (very important for me) still allows me to use AES services. I use UTX and GEX world-wide and this presents zero compatibility issues. With sliders maxed, I still had no performance problems whatsoever. FPS (fixed at 30) are solid all the way to the gate.
I hadn't heard of LHS until today, but these developers know their stuff and I hope to see many more additions from them in the future. Worth every star in my opinion.
