The airport comes after their recent releases of payware airports from the developer, including Rovaniemi Reeboted and Doncaster Sheffield, you can find our review of the scenery here.

In the blog post, the developer outlines the price tag for the scenery and an initial feature list (found below).

In the announcement post, FLY X wrote about their new workflows implemented for the scenery, including the introduction of the use of Substance Painter, a popular texturing tool used by many developers throughout the community.

FLY X wrote:

“The scenery includes features such as; an accurate and up to date rendition of the apron including the newly relayed taxiways, accurate and up to date 3D objects, PBR Ground textures and some of the surrounding area near to the airport.  Since our previous projects we have begun utilising new software, For example ‘Substance Painter’ and ‘Blender’, We have been changing and improving our workflows and have been better utilising PBR workflows.”
