This rendition meets all the criteria of an excellent recreation, with detailed 3D models for airport buildings, extensive PBR texturing for utmost realism and an updated airport layout (based on 2022 data).

Moreover, Orbx modelled Palm Beach’s $19.2 million control tower, completed in 2011.

Other notable additions to the rendition include the Atlantic Aviation hangar, the Jet Aviation complex and a general aviation apron.

The scenery is compatible with X-Plane 11 and 12 and is available on Orbx Direct for €22,34. If you are interested in reading about Orbx’s previous project, read my article on Launceston Airport.
