Scenery developer Imaginesim has released its latest scenery for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024. It takes us back to a familiar destination, having previously released this scenery for Flight Simulator X (FSX) and Prepar3D (P3D) a couple of years ago. After releasing a massive airport like their Dallas Fort Worth Airport rendition, Imaginesim has now created a modern recreation of India’s biggest and busiest airport. Delhi Indira Gandhi Airport is now available for MSFS, featuring multiple additions and features.
Imaginesim teased this scenery a few months ago with a social media post announcing its development. Since then, the developer has posted multiple updates on the project showcasing even more of this airport. One of the earliest previews showcased the updated airport’s layout with the newly renovated Terminal 1, bringing this scenery as close to reality as possible.
The site where Indira Gandhi Airport is now located was formerly the Royal Air Force Base Palam Airport, built during the Second World War. It started being used as a commercial airport in 1962 when airlines moved from the previous airport in Delhi. Since then, the airport has grown into India’s biggest airport and the gateway for international travelers. It features three distinctive terminals and handles millions of passengers and tonnes of cargo yearly.
Imaginesim brings this airport to life thanks to multiple features implemented in this scenery. According to the developer, all terminal and airport buildings were crafted from scratch by the team. The textures around the airport are also custom-made, including highly realistic concrete textures present on the airport surfaces. Parking gates come equipped with a custom Visual Docking Guidance system, realistic jetways, and a cluster of ground vehicles around the airport. Other elements of this scenery, like taxiway signage, hand-placed autogen, Night Lighting, and ILS capabilities, are also included.
Performance is something that Imaginesim also kept in mind while creating this scenery. It features fantastic performance with optimized LOD, claiming to run fluently with “complex airliner cockpits and high-density AI coverage”. The user can also customize the scenery using a menu to toggle certain features like lights and other airport elements.
Imaginesim’s rendition of Delhi Indira Gandhi Airport is now available for purchase for £23.99 directly from their webpage. The developer is also running a special promotion for those who purchase this scenery until the 15th of November. You can also learn more about Imaginesim here.
