Detroit has never looked better!

 

From our indie developers comes the ultimate Detroit package for both Microsoft Flight Simulator and X-Plane 12

 

KDTW Detroit Metropolitan Airport has been in the works for more than 2 years as it started with X-Plane and eventually made its way to join up in a parallel development with MSFS.

 

To complement the airport, we developed the landmark packs for X-Plane 12 and MSFS, with the latter being released first, followed by the airport.

 

At a glance (KTDW):

  • Custom KDTW-specific GSE
  • Custom KDTW-specific jetways
  • Custom Mesh for both MSFS and XP12 (compatible with Ortho4xp)
  • Custom animations all over the airfield including toggleable hangar doors in XP12 and animated shuttles
  • Every building on the airfield is a custom 1:1 replica. No generic models were used throughout the scene
  • Hundreds of hours refining the level of detail allowing higher details without a performance hit.
  • Seasonal effects such as snow piles and custom weather maps allow a more realistic water and snow accumulation
  • Animated highway/roadway traffic (XP12)
  • Full 1:1 terminal interiors
  • Spirit, Endeavor, Signature, and SkyWest hangar interiors modeled

At a glance (Landmarks Detroit):

  • Over 52 custom buildings and structures.
  • Detailed representation of the waterfront and industrial areas along the Detroit River.
  • A large amount of highly detailed generic models replace the city’s photogrammetry data, including models for cranes, chimneys, vehicles, structures, and much more.
  • Animated Detroit People Mover on the raised tracks through the city’s downtown.
  • Emissive textures on all buildings for dazzling nighttime flying across the city

Let's start with some previews of KDTW for Microsoft Flight Simulator:

Now, what about Landmarks Detroit City Pack? We've joined in on the project by adding Landmarks Detroit City Pack to complement the airport in both simulators.

Now for the X-Plane 12 pilots, we know many of you have been waiting a long time. Especially since we first previewed Detroit back in 2022. The wait is almost over! Some screenshots of the airport:
