Bermuda is one of the most beautiful approaches in the Atlantic - a hook-shaped island of white roofs, turquoise reefs and a runway that starts and ends at the sea. This package recreates L.F. Wade International (TXKF) and the entire island as one coherent scenery: the airport, the island autogen and an own base mesh were built together, so buildings, roads, coastline and water fit each other.
The airport was modelled from current imagery and photos: the new terminal opened in 2020 with its interior, gates and landside, the old terminal, hangars, cargo, fire station, ATC tower and all the small things around them. The island around it is filled with Bermuda’s typical pastel houses with white stepped roofs, placed on real building footprints, with roads, traffic, vegetation, harbours, beaches and the famous bridges to St. David’s.
