A new developer Tuwaiq Designs has so far focused on the Red Sea project and Abha International Airport has released a new, major international hub for Microsoft Flight Simulator. The team decided to bring Bahrain Airport (OBBI) to life in Microsoft Flight Simulator.
About Bahrain Airport
Settled in the middle of the Arabian Gulf, Bahrain Airport is a major international hub of the Middle East. The airport is located on an island and has its origins as far back as 1927. Back then, the first charter flights to this destination started to operate.
During World War II, the airport was mostly used by the United States and functioned as a stopover on the route to Abadan or Sharjah. A new passenger terminal opened in the 1960s, and later the airport went through several reconstructions in the 1980s and late 2000s.
Currently, the airport is majorly operated by Gulf Air, with tens of destinations across the world. Passengers can fly to various destinations from this airport, including Abu Dhabi, Bangkok, Alexandria, Cairo, Sochi, and major European hubs. Other than that, the airport also serves as a cargo hub, with DHL being the largest operator at this airport.
About the Tuwaiq Designs’ Recreation
This new rendition has been shown via the team’s YouTube channel, showing both the exterior and the interior details of the scenery.
The developer promises to bring the scenery with accurate 3D models, covered in PBR textures, and custom ground textures for the airport’s runway and taxiway system, including realistic wear and surface variations.
During the night, the airport is going to be lit up by immersive lighting for runways, the apron and terminals. Custom ground vehicles will also be present in the scenery, which will bring the airport its authentic beauty even closer to virtual pilots around the world.
The scenery can be purchased via the Orbx website for approximately €19.89.
