SimWorks Studios have taken to Facebook to announce the release of their collaborative project, with Area 77 Simulations, of Maia-Vilar de Luz Airport (LPVL) for Microsoft Flight Simulator.
Both teams have developed the scenery accurately, and all buildings are modelled in super detail, especially the control tower that has interior and exterior modelling. PBR textures have been completed using the simulators graphic capabilities.
Also included are hangers that reflect the time of day, accurate terrain and road tunnels, and points of interest outside the airport. These include a detailed model of the City Hall and Leader’s Tower. The developers have also implemented models of people using the airport, including plane-spotters in the viewing area. The number of people also reflects the time of day. Local aero club’s liveries are also available for the C152, C172 and Piper Aircraft.
Maia Vilar de Luz Airfield, better known as Maia Airport, is a general aviation airport based in the northern part of Portugal. It is home to the Porto Aero Club, and Nortavia Flight School.
This highly detailed addon is available from the SimWorks Studios website priced at EUR 12.99. There are plans for it to be available through other popular outlets including Orbx, simMarket, and Flightsim.com.
