Välkommen! Introducing ESMS Malmö Airport for P3Dv4+


Recommended Posts

I am absolutely delighted to introduce ESMS Malmö Airport for P3Dv4 & v5 from acclaimed developer Marcus Nyberg. Hot on the heels of his highly popular Gothenburg and Scandinavian Mountains Airport projects, Malmö has been carefully kept under wraps for the past three months, and is the next destination in Marcus' Swedish airport series. Combining many of his signature design techniques such as incredible texture work, attention to detail, and beautiful hand-coloured seasonal variants, Malmö Airport represents the very best of what P3Dv4 & v5 technology has to offer. 

 

Serving as Sweden's fourth-busiest airport, Malmö welcomes passengers from across Scandinavia, as well as further afield across central and southern Europe. Many will know the airport by it's popular previous name - Malmö Sturup Airport - which although officially discontinued in 2007, is still what it is colloquially known by. Whilst most at-home with narrowbody (737/A320/E-Jet) and regional aircraft (BAe146/CRJ/F-50/ATR-72) types, Malmö also sees the occasional 747 or An-124. During non-COVID times, the airport is host to SAS, Braathens, Norwegian, Ryanair, Wizzair and more, whilst as a major cargo hub, is a port of call for UPS, Amapola and others. 

 

One of the most unique features of the airport is the second runway and adjacent aero clubs - almost a separate GA airfield of sorts. The Sturup Aero Club is situated amongst the maintenance hangars, as well as several flight schools. Standing alone on the south side of the secondary runway, the Aero Club in Malmö and South Sweden Flight Academy provide additional facilities for the GA flyer looking to explore the area. Malmö is also a major Fokker 50 maintenance base for Amapola Flyg, as well as a graveyard/storage facility for the West Air BAe ATP fleet - both of which have been faithfully depicted in this scenery. 

 

As to be expected from Marcus, no detail has been spared with the creation of Malmö. Beautiful PBR texturing has been used on key infrastructure items, whilst mixed-materials textures have been used elsewhere, ensuring the perfect balance between detail and performance. Complete seasonal variations, weather-controlled ground features, interior modelling, and special attention to landside details abound. The approaches have been faithfully reproduced with blended orthoimagery and hand-placed autogen, whilst the night lighting uses the best of both dynamic and rendered (baked) lighting to again get the best out of the simulator. Animated SODE jetways, a custom GSX profile, and optional VDGS (requiring the SODE VDGS pack) round out the features for the serious simmers amongst us. Developed with the full co-operation and assistance of Malmö Airport management, special thanks must go to Jan Wieslander and Andreas Lundvall with their on-site assistance over the past several months. 

 

An airport built to the highest standards, ESMS combines the latest P3D tech alongside best-practice optimization to ensure the perfect balance between stunningly high-fidelity visuals and excellent performance, perfect as your next Scandinavian destination!

    I love that vibrant yellow

    Wow impressive quality

    I bet @Jack Sawyer is gonna be very pleased flying here too is such a yellow ambience :lol:

     

    Question

    I noticed all the yellow airports in the map have already been made by Orbx. Do this mean that Oslo and Copenhagen will be also be made by you? Are these future projects? :rollmyeyes:

     

    Cheers

    Wow Marcus, another fantastic airport from you. Do you ever sleep? I have never visited Malmö airport in real life, but now a good excuse to visit in the sim. Great work!

     

    Thanks Brian! 

    Haha, yeah well if I didn't sleep enough already I've got my second kid coming any day now so guess it won't isnt less than whats about to come at least ;)

    This sounds intriguing indeed...

     

    BUT... there's a detail that's almost more intriguing. Just carefully look at every Orbx airport indicated in this map:

    I can say 100% for sure that there are no hidden easter eggs in this map - but that's not to say that I mightn't do it with future maps :lol: If you revisit the map I made a few months ago for Scandinavian Mountains Airport, there was one destination back then that was definitely a clue that no one picked up on!

    My eyes also caught the "Spanish seasonal destinations"... can we hope for another Iberian destination such as perhaps the new Murcia Corvera LEMI airport that opened up last year, but is not included in the P3D sim?:rollmyeyes:

    This looks great, but will we see it for X-Plane 11? Two years ago John Venema said "We will be porting ALL 170 Orbx airports to XP over the next year, it just takes time peeps, we’re hiring new developers to speed it up"

    Well let's pay you mind then in the future and decide on these too :lol:

     

    Jarrad I have a question

    In the Burbank scenery you explained a bit about frame rates of freezes at landing due to the vicinity of LAX and many other elements

    Would Malmo suffer a bit of this due to FT Copenhagen? This is a "heavy" scenery and very close to Malmo.

    Just want to be aware in advance if this could affect performance somehow

    Cheers

    Hi Carlos, I haven't done thorough testing with the latest build, but check in with us closer to release and I'll let you know. I did an early test at the start of the project (for exactly this scenario), and it appeared like the loading threshold wasn't very close to Malmo. 

     

    Cheers

    Marcus - This Looks to be another masterpiece in the making.

    Trust the arrival of your second child goes well & if your partner wants an epidural, don't hesitate.

    Particularly like the colors & variations thereof that have come through in the preview shots.

    Actually  there are 15 nm between KBUR and KLAX and... 25 nm from EKCH to Malmoe.

    It's quite far enough to avoid fps drops or freezes. Don't you think ?

    I did some testing on this today, and as Dom correctly points out, it won't be a problem. The loading radius for Copenhagen is quite a way away (about 15km) from ESMS, and isn't anywhere near the approach/departure paths into the airport. So most definitely won't be a factor to worry about :) 

     

    Cheers

    What is the area coverage on this one? I know it's impossible, but I would pay serious money to have that section of Sweden between Gothenburg and the south coast covered with high resolution photoscenery, so that I could enjoy approaches to runway 22L at Copenhagen without having to look at landclass scenery :(

    What an awesome surprise! This airport scenery looks to be chock full of cool details! From these shots, the colors really pop! Excited to see more.


     

    thanks guys for the support!! :)

    haha no sorry its nothing close to that coverage, that would have been massive. We will get back with a proper coverage map when we are a bit closer to release.
