Hello, dear aviation enthusiasts, we are very happy to take the first step with you today. We have developed and shared Stord Airport, one of the most beautiful squares in Norway, for you. Many quality models are waiting for you at this airport, which is intertwined with nature. Before giving a little information about the airport, do not forget to take a look at the trailer video we have published on youtube.
Stord Airport; (IATA: SRP, ICAO: ENSO) is a municipal regional airport located at Sørstokken in Stord Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. Located 13 kilometers (8 mi) from Leirvik and on the island of Stord, it is the only airport with scheduled services in Sunnhordland. The airport consists of a single asphalt 1,460-by-30-metre (4,790 ft × 98 ft) runway designated 14/32.
The airport features nice modelling for buildings in a good amount of detail and using crisp textures.
What I do not like is the fact that the paved ground textures (apron and runway) are not at all life-like, too clean and perfect. Adding to that are the ground markings which are also too clean and sterile looking with a cartoonish looking contrast.
So the quality of the ground textures does not match the good quality for the buildings.
Another drawback is the lack of aviation-related attention to detail:
- Windsocks are missing
- Localiser antenna is missing (visible as blurry part of the aerial imagery)
- A generic model has been placed where the VOR station is located, however it is not the model of a VOR station
- Wrong type of approach lighting
- PAPI lights do not match the position of the lights visible on the aerial imagery
So overall this is a good effort on the part of the buildings, but lacking in ground textures, markings and aviation related details.
Detailed airport and surrounding. Models and textures are good, nice amount of clutter on and around the airport. Happy with the product and looking forward to whatever this developer does next.
