Aerosoft recently took to their forum to share more previews of their upcoming rendition of Milan Malpensa Airport (LIMC) for Microsoft Flight Simulator. The previews primarily focus on the terminal area of the airport.
New Aerosoft Milan Malpensa Previews
David Rosenfeld, the main developer of this project, has shared a collection of screenshots with the community. These images showcase an impressive level of detail, including carefully modeled check-in counters, waiting areas, and accurate terminal signage. Additionally, the screenshots feature fast food restaurants and advertisement images.
The terminal model appears to have mid to high-quality textures, with designated bus and car lanes leading to the terminal.
Mr. Rosenfeld mentioned that the screenshots are in a work-in-progress state, and they might change a few things before completing the interior work in the next few weeks. After that, they will continue working on the apron.
