Jarrad Marshall Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I am delighted to introduce Scandinavian Mountains Airport, the world's newest international airport! Kicking straight on from the groundbreaking Gothenburg Landvetter, acclaimed developer Marcus Nyberg brings us the latest in his Swedish series. Working in close consultation with (and appreciated support of) the airport's real-world owners, this project started work prior to the grand opening of the airfield on December 22nd last year. Combined with Marcus' ground-breaking snow technology, ESKS also brings to the simulator a true first - incredible 3cm drone-sourced aerial imagery. This stunning tech works around the 7cm ground limitation (without tweaking the core sim or cfg files) to bring to life one of the most immersive airports you will experience in Prepar3D. Scandinavian Mountains Airport is a brand-new, purpose-designed Swedish airport, located close to the Norwegian border. The airfield was constructed to primarily service the major ski resorts located nearby. Designed to handle aircraft up to B747 in size, ESKS hosts scheduled A320, RJ100 and ATR72 services to both Swedish and European destinations, including Gothenburg, Heathrow and Copenhagen. Whilst primarily a winter holiday destination, the airfield is expected to handle year-round traffic, including corporate and GA flights alongside RPT services. SMA is a trailblazer in another important aspect; 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 airport is also ideally placed for short-haul flights to many of your favourite Orbx airports, including Stockholm, Gothenburg, Kiruna, Visby and Dala. As to be expected from Marcus, the airport package includes all the latest technology; 4k mixed-material and PBR texturing, a sublime dynamic ground poly, advanced rendering techniques, internal modelling, beautiful hand-drawn night lighting, custom static aircraft and GSE. Of course, the icing on the cake is the stunning snow technology that builds upon what you have seen at Kiruna and Gothenburg - this truly is the best winter experience you will have in a simulator! An airport built to exacting standards, ESKS combines the latest P3Dv4 tech alongside best-practice optimization to ensure the perfect balance between stunning visuals and excellent performance. FEATURES Incredible drone-sourced 3cm aerial imagery around the airport, including advanced normal/spec maps beyond the normal GP The world's newest international airport, with flights to major Swedish and European destinations including Heathrow and Copenhagen Immaculately detailed multi-seasonal depiction of ESKS Scandinavian Mountains Airport Stunningly realistic depiction of unique snow during the winter months Interior modelling Advanced materials, including PBR Colour-corrected coverage area at 7cm & 50cm resolution, with hand-placed autogen Custom static aircraft & GSE unique to ESKS Weather-influenced ground textures Stunning night light lighting A short flight to our other Swedish destinations, Gothenburg, Stockholm Arlanda, Kiruna, Visby and Dala The perfect short-haul destination for A320/NGX, regional jet and GA flyers alike! Designed for P3Dv4 to blend seamlessly with Orbx Norway, Orbx Global Base and openLC Europe Painstakingly optimized for very high performance, even with high-end aircraft. The latest in our Swedish Series from acclaimed developer Marcus Nyberg Please stay tuned for more previews and details over the coming weeks!

TigerTigerM Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 8,202' of runway at an altitude of 1,608' with dog sled transfers to the Salen skifields, (Ref Wikipedia), plus Marcus at the helm, what more could one ask for? Come on Marcus , lets have a dog team, or failing that, how about a snowmobile? Great geographical positioning as regards other Sweden/Norway Orbx products, and I can get some noisy vintage airliners in there. Off to find SAS liveries for the 727, L-10011, DC-10 & so on. Nice work so far. Particularly like the nuanced sunset coloring & park ferme' dampness in shot #2 TTMnoisey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If subscribing to AIRAC it is actually added since a few months:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ste_88 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 @Marcus Nyberg another Masterpiece added to Scandinavia. Now we miss Bodo by @Tore Stranden for Norway and I really hope you'll create other airports in the North (Finland EFKT, EFIV, EFRO, EFTU, EFMA, EFTP, EFHK) and some Others in Norway/Sweden! And why not BGSF in Greenland, it would be really a surprise! Really Amazing work, as usual and in these difficult days I'm very happy to have it available!

Mikael Cedergren Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Yes Bodo has really been developed forever, whats going on? Tore really takes his time with airports, although what can you say. Narvik Framnes looks great so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
