Verticalsim have taken to Facebook to announce the release of the Florida based airport, Clearwater Airpark, for Microsoft Flight Simulator.
Using an up to date airport layout, the developers have made use of PBR lighting, taxiways, and high definition buildings, to produce this award winning GA airport. Custom mesh has also been implemented, as well as many hand-crafted objects dotted around the airport. The twilight hours are brought to life with HDR night lighting.
Vegetation has also been redone, and the PAPI lighting has been positioned according to realistic settings, allowing for AI taxipathing. Everything is modelled with the new simulator in mind, and to satisfy those who enjoy scenic airports such as this.
Clearwater Airpark is a small, general aviation, airport based four kilometers from Clearwater, in Pinellas County, Florida. In the real world, there are restrictions for take offs and landings with them only being permitted from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Clearwater Airpark is available from the Verticalsim website priced $7.49
