Originally scheduled to be released on October 31st, FSimStudios, a cross-platform scenery developer, has today taken to their social network to announce the release of their long-awaited rendition of Vancouver Airport and City for Prepar3D. The scenery was said to be the most detailed and largest project by the developer yet.
The scenery features, for example, 178 square kilometers of orthophoto imagery, or custom night lighting crafted by iniBuilds. Furthermore, the scenery features the soon-to-be-finished Pier D. The scenery includes local landmarks such as bridges spanning the River Fraser and a local shopping outlet. From the technical side, 4K PBR textures are present at the airport.
The scenery can be purchased through the FSimStudios website and for $25, $5 dollars more than was expected. The product should be available to be purchased through the Orbx services later on.
Microsoft Flight Simulator version of the scenery is scheduled to be released within November 2020 and should be free of charge for existing owners of the Prepar3D version.
Vancouver International Airport is located 12km from Downtown Vancouver, in Richmond, British Columbia. The airport is actually situated on a stretch of land known as Sea Island. Interestingly, it also has a terminal for floatplanes.
