Popular Post Orbx Posted December 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 15, 2020 We are delighted to announce Matteo Veneziani's next airport - Bastia Poretta for Microsoft Flight Simulator! Located on the idyllic Mediterranean island of Corsica, Bastia airport is nestled between the mountains and the sea which makes for some challenging flying conditions. As a popular holiday destination, the airport sees a mix of airline, corporate, GA traffic and helicopters and acts as a base for coastguard and firefighting aircraft. One thing is for sure though, spectacular views are guaranteed! The scenery encompasses both the airport in complete detail, as well the surrounding area. Particular attention has also been given to the landside part of the airport where the car parking, car rental, farms and industrial area has been recreated with a high level of detail. The airport development has been based on the latest reference material and includes the brand new expansion of the terminal. The unique architectural design of the tower and terminal has been expertly captured by Matteo using extensive onsite on-site photography. Using the latest MSFS SDK, all textures come with PBR as standard and high resolution artwork has been used throughout. All new GSE and static aircraft types have been added and careful attention has been given to the apron markings, sloping runway and detailed vegetation placement to ensure a realistic as possible depiction of the airport. Innovative night lighting techniques have been used along with custom wig-wag and dynamic taxiway lighting - all of these complement the comprehensive mix of apron, terminal and runway effects. The airport Bastia Poretta is at an advanced stage of development, with more information and screenshots to be rolled out during the coming week! 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There already is one available but made by another developer. It's fairly decent: https://secure.simmarket.com/rfscenerybuilding-lfkb-bastia-poretta-p3d5.phtml for both v4 and v5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvidencePlz Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Never heard of this airport but I have an important question to ask: Do the horses move at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripcord Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 (edited) I would love for Orbx to roll in and seriously dominate the regional airports of France offerings. I'd support that effort. Edited December 15, 2020 by Ripcord 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerTigerM Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Another interesting choice. & I am delighted Matteo has chosen an 8,265' long runway Plus with his Olbia & Gaya's Florence it makes a nice triangulated journey. When I look at screenshots of a new project for the first time, what usually catches my eye is color. In this case the 1st shot's ochre? building with the green roof does that. Catches the eye. As does the architecture of the airport buildings with their curved roofs. If you take Malmo, in simplistic terms it is a large flat airfield with a collection of low boxes assembled as an airport. But what catches the eye, makes it interesting? For me the yellowish color of the assemblage. Some nice touches at Bastia. The horses, the grader, & other scattered items that lend character to the place. If one stands back & surveys the flood of payware & freeware airfield & scenery that have rained down on MSFS, I would guess more than 500 pieces are in the market now, Bastia stands out for the care & attention to detail that Matteo has put into it. It deserves to do well & its a day one for me. TTM 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyWsays Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 My goodness this looks fantastic. My wife and I went on a holiday to Corsica years ago (flew into/out of Bastia). It was an amazing place! Looking at these screenshots I am impressed with the accuracy of this represention. I can literally recognise the foot paths in the airport we used to go and pick up our car hire etc. Amazing attention to detail! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeJay Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Nice!! My first flight ever in my life landed exactly there on Luxair. Unfortunately I'll have to wait until I switch to MSFS which will take another while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
