Jarrad Marshall Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 G'day all, I am absolutely delighted to unveil one of our most ambitious airport projects to date; LOWI Innsbruck Airport for X-Plane 11! After 18 months of development and R&D from Vittorio Greco, Tony Wroblewski and myself, our award-winning airport has been brought XP11. An airport that needs no introduction, Innsbruck is one of the world's great aviation destinations. Dramatically stunning terrain, beautiful architecture, and of course one of the most infamously challenging approaches in the world, Innsbruck is a destination that is instantly recognisable to aviators of all stripes. Whether you are a seasoned jet jockey looking to hone your skills, a GA flyer looking for your next high-brow scenic joyflight, or an eggbeater expert seeking out the next challenging helipad, Innsbruck has it all. For those of you who have enjoyed this airport in FSX, P3D or AFS2, we have gone to extra lengths to provide you something next-level. Beyond the already massive traditional coverage area, Innsbruck for X-Plane 11 includes a entire 8200km2 mini-region! Beyond the ultra-detailed airport itself, explore a complete cityscene (with over 160 POI), 3 heliports and vast coverage area in complete TrueEarth-style detail. All of this has been created with optimization foremost in mind - explore this scenery with your favourite resource-intensive aircraft without having to stress about performance. AT A GLANCE THE AIRPORT - Ultra-detailed rendition of Innsbruck Airport - Extremely high definition ground polygon - Beautiful hand-coloured and cleaned ground textures at 30cm - Entirely customized GSE and static aircraft fleet unique to Innsbruck - don't expect to see generic airside vehicles or unexpected aircraft types - Hand-crafted texture work incorporating special materials, baked ambient occlusion and baked night lighting - Custom vegetation, grass and non-airside detailing - Optimized for use with default and well-known AI programs - Animated GSE and static peopleflow - Carefully optimized for best balance between high performance and detail - very low texture loading for a scenery of this scope and detail. THE CITYSCENE - One of the most detailed cities yet brought to X-Plane 11 - 160 custom points of interest - Beautiful edited 60cm ground imagery - Major freeways and bridges custom modeled - Hand-placed custom vegetation - Stunning night lighting THE HELIPORTS - Hat Tux/Aplin 5 Heliport (LOJT) - rescue heliport hidden deep in the valleys south-west of Innsbruck. - University Hospital (Uni Klinik) Heliport - rooftop hospital heliport in the heart of the city - Flight Rescue Centre OAMTC Heliport - major Christophorus/Police heliport adjacent to the airport THE MINI-REGION - An enormous 8200km2 of TrueEarth-style detail, encompassing the majority of the Austrian state of Tyrol and the southern reaches of the German state of Bavaria - Highly accurate building autogen using custom central European types - Beautiful vegetation autogen using the latest placement techniques and custom Orbx artwork - Expertly colourised and cleaned ortho at 1m resolution - Best-available high-definition elevation mesh sampled from 10m source, optimized for best balance between high fidelity and performance. - Complete detailed overlay - accurate roads, watermasking, rail, powerlines and other features you'd expect from a TrueEarth region - Expertly collated, hand-edited and compiled using proprietary Orbx technology We'll have plenty more details, screenshots and goodies coming out for this project over the coming week. Suffice to say we are all very excited about this project, and can't wait to share more info with you all. In the mean time, here is selection of screenshots from the product - and I should point out that these barely scratch the surface of all the features Innsbruck includes. Enjoy!

TTM TTM - have got a detailed coverage map for you coming up later on in the week And yes I agree, I had the exact same thought about that particular shot when I was taking it - I took a very similar promo shot for TE-Washington a couple of months ago.

Who is lacking reading comprehension? Thanks Orbx for supporting the helicopter simmers. No worries. This scenery was already a masterpiece at P3D. I see that now, for XP, Master Jarrad must have outgrown himself. As for helisimmers, Jarrad always takes this "nation" into consideration.

The helipad you reference is is the University Klinik (University Hospital), which is definitely included, alongside Hat Tux (LOJT) and the OAMTC Rescue Base next to the airport. 11 hours ago, Jrbaird19 said: Good lord. Looks absolutely stunning. Can someone please tell me what light mod is being used in the first picture? kind regards Absolutely - that particular shot was using some tweaks in Ultra Weather XP. Just bumping up the lights power slider until it was something I was happy with. 1 hour ago, rude_boy_1988 said: Nice work! But this is a convert from FSX and custom mesh? Where is a new terminal building? Yes you are correct - aside from some smaller changes, and the huge new coverage area (about 2.5x the size of the P3D version), the airport is represented in the same manner as the FSX/P3D release. Given so much is planned at the airport over the next couple of years, my plan has been to wait until it is all finished, and release it as a major new version later down the track. I have a couple of friends who are based at the airport who keep me up to date with all the latest details, so there will be no shortage of source material when the time comes Cheers Jarrad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeilG Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 This looks beautiful. Forgive the question as a vulgar money enquiry but given that the new area is so much bigger than the the P3D and FSX one, does the usual cost reduction for owners of the latter still count? I’m a pensioner now and sadly I am always having to consider these things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
