What Does This Scenery Offer?
Just like any high-quality payware airport, this scenery features accurate PBR textures and detailed handcrafted buildings, with intricate interior models. Additionally, this rendition features intricate ground textures and custom jetways.
The developer went as far as animating different artefacts in the scenery. Notable examples include passenger and airport train animations. This feature livens up the rendition and increases immersion. Similarly, the implementation of dynamic lighting allows nocturnal flyers to enjoy the illuminated airport.
Notable Information Regarding the Rendition
Philadelphia International Airport by DominicDesignTeam is available for purchase on SimMarket for 19.19€. At the time of writing, the scenery got updated to V.1.1. This minor update is aimed at correcting certain imperfections and bugs.
