Orbx has today taken to their Facebook page to share a new set of previews showcasing their rendition of Graz Airport (LOWG). It is not very usual on the flight simulation scene to share a new set of previews not even 24 hours after the development announcement.
All five new screenshots of the airport can be seen below in a gallery. They are showcasing the airport itself, to be more specific, the ATC tower, parking ramps, the Christophorus 12 building, and the rooftop viewing area.
The scenery will feature complete PBR implementation throughout the airport, accurate reproduction of the wing-shaped terminal and the tower, or partial interior modelling, for example. Furthermore, weather effects will be present at the scenery together with custom orthoimagery for the airport surroundings.
The release date was not mentioned, however, it has been confirmed, that the developers are now awaiting the next MSFS patch to fix the issues with multiple airports located in the same grid for orthoimagery.
We will hold release of Graz until the patch is released (hopefully in a fortnight) to resolve the issues with airports sharing the same grid for orthoimagery.

Graz Airport (LOWG) is, with slightly over 1 million passengers annually, the fourth-busiest airport in Austria. It is a primary airport serving southern Austria. The airport is operated mainly by seasonal flights to destinations such as Heraklion, Rhodes or Skiathos. Airlines such as Corendon, Austrian Airlines, Lufthansa, or KLM operate from, and to, the airport.
