FSDreamTeam has taken to social media to announce the release of Zurich Airport V2 for Microsoft Flight Simulator. V2 is a complete remake of, what has been, one of their most popular products to date.
Incorporating 4k textures, the developer has made every object using PBR materials to produce an up to date rendering of this popular Swiss airport. Photoreal Images from as late as 2019 have been used to ensure a high level of detail.
Buildings have been remodelled, now with higher definition. In fact the developer claims they have used five times more polygons is this version compared to the previous one. This version also includes Fully Dynamic lighting, accurately detailed ground markings, detailed custom jetways, and precise altitude profiles with sloped runway. In addition, the developer has also included an animated viewing deck, and detailed helicopter models at the Rega Base.
Zurich Airport, located 13km north of central Zurich, is Switzerland’s largest airport, and serves as the principle hub of Swiss International Airlines. There are plans to completely rebuild terminal 1 and the Skyguide Air Traffic Control tower.
Zurich Airport for MSFS is available from the FSDT website priced $9.99. All being well, it will soon be available via the MS Marketplace also.
