Ed Correia, Orbx Head of Operations, has today announced via the Orbx Forums a rendition of Caernarfon Airport for X-Plane 11. When released, the scenery will feature, for example, 2cm/px ground textures for the airport area, accurately placed buildings or surrounding POIs together with Orbx GB TrueEarth Central compatibility. There is a complete feature list below the screenshots in the post.
Caernarfon (pronounced [KUH] + [NAA] + [VUHN]) (Maes Awyr Caernarfon) is a lovely general aviation airport located right in the heart of Snowdonia, North Wales, in one of the most scenic and popular tourist areas in the UK.
