The developer Xometry released a new scenery of Ponta Delgada Airport (LPPD) for X-Plane 12. This release makes this unique airport in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean more interesting to fly into with Laminar Research’s simulator.
The scenery offers a highly detailed rendition of this airport, with accurately placed custom buildings and autogen. The custom buildings and assets are covered in custom PBR textures, and all of that is accompanied by custom night lighting. The taxiway signs are also custom, and the whole surrounding area is covered in custom, corrected ortho imagery. 3D grass and trees can also be found in the vicinity of this scenery. Speaking of airport facilities, the Xometry Ponta Delgada is managed by SAM marshallers at the airport stands.
