Orbx has revealed its next Swedish destination is Scandinavian Mountains Airport (ESKS) for Prepar3D version 4.
Working in close consultation with the airport's owners, the project started prior to the grand opening of the real airfield on December 22, 2019. Combined with snow technology, ESKS also brings to the simulator new 3cm drone-sourced aerial imagery.
Scandinavian Mountains Airport is a new, purpose-designed Swedish destination, close to the Norwegian border. It was built to service the major ski resorts located nearby. Designed to handle aircraft up to the 747 in size, ESKS hosts scheduled A320, RJ100 and ATR72 services to both Swedish and European hubs, including Gothenburg, Heathrow and Copenhagen. While primarily a winter holiday destination, the airfield is expected to handle year-round traffic, including corporate and GA flights alongside RPT services. It has the first purpose-built remote virtual control tower (RVT), meaning that ATC staff are based in Sundsvall, rather than the airport itself.
The package from Orbx package includes all the latest technology; 4K mixed-material and PBR texturing, dynamic ground polygons, advanced rendering techniques, internal modelling, hand-drawn night lighting, custom static aircraft and GSE compatibility.
