The development team of FSimStudios released their rendition of the Houston William P. Hobby Airport (KHOU) for Microsoft Flight Simulator.
William P. Hobby Airport is an international airport located near the city of Houston, Texas and it is one of the two international airports serving this area. It is Houston’s oldest commercial airport and it was its primary airport until 1969 when George Bush Intercontinental Airport opened.
This airport is an operating base for Southwest Airlines. It is Southwest’s fifth-busiest airport in its flight network. Currently, there are many destinations to choose from, and virtual pilots can enjoy flying from this airport. There are flights to Las Vegas, Atlanta, Albuquerque, New York LGA and so on.
FSimStudios developed this rendition together with Texan Simulations and they created an accurate rendition of this airport as of 2023. The airport offers custom ground textures, and high-resolution ortho imagery of the surrounding area, together with PBR materials used all over the scenery.
