Orbx Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 We are delighted to announce Matteo Veneziani's picturesque Olbia Costa Smeralda for Microsoft Flight Simulator! One of our most popular European destinations has received a complete overhaul for the new simulator, with Matteo investing months of work on this project since completing Hollywood Burbank. Located on the idyllic Mediterranean island of Sardinia, Olbia encompasses both the the airport in complete detail, as well as the surrounding city and coastal approaches. As a popular Italian holiday destination, the airport sees a mix of airline, corporate and GA traffic, as well as being a home base for the aerial firefighting (waterbomber) fleet. Using the latest MSFS SDK updates, this airport is one of our very first to integrate completely customized animated jetways, as well as a custom ground poly (projected mesh). All textures have been redone, with full PBR and higher resolution artwork utilized throughout. Dozens of landmarks lie waiting to be explored, including several new easter eggs not previously included in the original P3D release. All-new GSE and static aircraft types have been added to the existing fleet for the MSFS version, as well as crisp custom aerial imagery for the airport environment. Careful attention has been given to the apron markings, sloping runway and detailed vegetation placement, as well as improved coastline and rockwork along the harbour. Utilizing innovative night lighting techniques, custom wig-wag and dynamic taxiway lighting complement the comprehensive mix of apron, terminal and runway effects. A complete airport & city package, Olbia Costa Smeralda is at an advanced stage of development, with more information and screenshots to be rolled out during the coming week. Enjoy!

BrianV Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Wow, I feel a sudden urge to visit Italy. Wonderful captures, and great work, congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerTigerM Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Another interesting destination. The promo shots, via their use of SoFly & Drone OOF, & their composition structure & inventiveness, suggest the imprint of Filou. Gaya Florence to Orbx LIEO would be a nice flight.

Nyxx Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Given that KBUR is still INOP ( topic also lock down, why?) with no update for weeks/month+, I will wait to see feed back before buying this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvidencePlz Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 WOW this is big news. I had this airport for Prepar3D and was so happy with how it was done. So happy that I took a screenshot of it and used it as Windows wallpaper for several months. It was done so good that I could just spawn at the airport and use chaseplane to walk/fly around it for hours. I just couldn't get enough of it. Really glad that now we are gonna get to enjoy the "real deal" version of this airport, thanks to the infinitely superior base/core technology of MSFS 2020. Thank you Maestro Matteo for this gift, and thank you everyone at Microsoft and Asobo for giving us MSFS 2020! Now here's a humble request to Orbx, please do this airport for MSFS: https://orbxdirect.com/product/lybe you have already done this for Prepar3D so shouldn't be hard. Also do EGGP and landmarks for it. Here's where I was showcasing my Olbia airport wallpaper a year ago: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
