Phnom Penh International Airport or former name was Pochentong International Airport
Once known as the “Pearl of Asia”, it was considered one of the loveliest French-built cities in Indochina in the 1920s.
Phnom Penh, along with Siem Reap and Sihanoukville, are significant global and domestic tourist destinations for Cambodia. Founded in 1434,
the city is noted for its beautiful and historical architecture and attractions.
Phnom Penh International Airport (Airport IATA Code : PNH , ICAO Code : VDPP) is located 7 kilometres (3.8 NM) west of Phnom Penh, the nation's capital
On July 6, 1995, the Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) signed a concession agreement with the French-Malaysian joint venture company (SCA), to operate Phnom Penh (PNH) - Pochentong International Airport.
In return for a 20-year concession, SCA—70 percent owned by Groupe GTM and 30 percent by Muhibbah Masterron of Malaysia—committed to a $110 million improvement program that includes the construction of a new runway, terminal and cargo buildings, hangars, installation of a Cat III level Instrument Landing System (ILS) and associated approach lighting.
Following the successful completion of the initial works, the Berger team provided design review and independent engineering services for the construction of a new 18,000-square-metre (190,000 sq ft) terminal building to accommodate growing tourist traffic. The $22 million terminal building includes three mobile aerobridges, over 700 auto parking spaces and VIP and CIP facilities
Features
The airport It has one runway designed 05/23 with an asphalt surface measuring 3,000 by 44 metres
Im happy to have a decent bit of scenery for Phnom Penh, however I feel that this scenery is only half complete. There is no Lighting in the runway as shown in screenshots, taxiways are not very detailed or wide enough for 737, A320 etc and Im sure they are not compiled as concrete as after exiting the runway it has the resistance of a gravel or dirt taxiway, this is supported by the amount of dust and dirt effects when taxiing to the apron. Even the apron in parts is like gravel. No taxi way signs either. Be Wary,* ILS on R23, guides you to land 20 feet from the right-hand edge of the runway.
I may have to try and fix this problem myself as the does not seem there is any support from the developer. I will of course review this if indeed the developer helps me to FIX these issues.
Purchase with caution. for now.
A large area around the airport of no autogen and ultra-low resolution groundtexture reduces the optical quality of this addon considerably.
A rfurbished FS9 looking addon for rather low-end systems...
There's no runway lighting, it's actually visible in the screenshots above.
Apron textures are nice, the jet bridges, however, are fixed which is a little bit irritating. It would also be nice if the military aircraft that are visible in real life at the east end of the airfield (Mi-26 choppers, L-39 albatrosses, various antonov transports) could be added too.
