The developer iBlueYonder, responsible for the release of Dallas Love Field for Microsoft Flight Simulator, has recently for the same platform announced their new rendition of Portland International Airport (KPDX). The development was announced via their website.
The developer describes the Portland Airport v2 scenery as a massive upgrade to their previous rendition of this airport. In real life, the airport has undergone extensive rebuilding and renovation. These changes are reflected in this upcoming version of the scenery as well.
While in real life the construction is scheduled to finish in 2025, the flight simulator community can expect to fly to this renovated airport in Microsoft Flight Simulator later this year.
iBlueYonder Portland v2 Features
Speaking of some of the features, this scenery is going to include a completely new main terminal with a full 3D interior. This will include concourses B and E, which are currently under construction. A 3D interior will be modelled in these concourses as well.
The current concourses C and D will also receive an upgrade with the 3D terminal interior. Speaking of the landside, there will be a new parking garage, new rental facility, toll plaza and the FAA Administration building.
Ground operations will be handled with new ground service vehicles models, animated people and objects, as well as custom jetways.
There is no estimate of the release yet, and neither the team has stated the pricing of this upcoming scenery. You can read more about iBlueYonder in our article about their previous Portland release here.
