The iniBuilds team has announced a new airport release for Microsoft Flight Simulator, this time going to the heart of the Austrian Alps and one of the most challenging airports to fly to, Innsbruck (LOWI).
About Innsbruck Airport
The airport in Innsbruck is one of the most challenging and interesting airports in the world. with its location being right in the middle of a valley between hills that are as tall as 2,700 metres. The winds reflecting from the peaks around also create challenging wind conditions, and special training is needed for pilots to fly to this airport.
During the inauguration of the current terminal in the 1960s, the airport was actually able to handle aeroplanes as large as the Boeing 767. The terminal is going to be renovated, and the construction started five years ago.
Currently, there is a large variety of seasonal and annually scheduled flights from Innsbruck Airport. One of the busiest flights is from Innsbruck to Vienna, operated by Austrian Airlines, connecting the remote areas of Austria with its capital city.
During winter, there are flights to Heathrow and Gatwick with British Airways, Hamburg, Stockholm and Copenhagen with Eurowings and all year long, Transavia operates its flight to Amsterdam from this airport.
During summer, many popular summer destinations are offered to be flown from Innsbruck, this includes Cagliary, Kalamata, Thessaloniki, Rhodes, Palma de Mallorca or Lamezia Terme.
About iniBuilds’ Rendition
The iniBuilds Innsbruck scenery offers high-quality recreation at this airport. There are hand-made 3D models of both the exterior and the interior of the airport. All of that is covered in hand-made textures, including texture sets for runways, aprons and surrounding paths and roads.
During the night, the airport is being lit up by iniBuilds’ custom dynamic lighting, accurately positioned around the entire scenery. For those who fly on VATSIM are going to be glad to hear that the scenery is completely up-to-date, with a current representation of the airport layout and the surrounding location.
GSX users are not being forgotten by iniBuilds, and a custom GSX Pro profile is shipped with the scenery.
You can purchase the scenery for approximately €17.91 excluding the local VAT via the iniBuilds website. To learn more about the developer, check out our article about their recent Johannesburg Airport release.
