Sante Sottile Posted May 12 Posted May 12 From Orbx indie Developer Massimiliano Addante: Experience the heart of Detroit aviation with the upcoming release of KDET - Coleman A. Young International Airport. This meticulously handcrafted scenery has been built with an unwavering focus on realism and performance, capturing the unique character of each structure on the airfield. Massimiliano Addante has invested significant effort into creating dozens of custom assets, many of which include animations, and all elements feature between 4 and 10 levels of detail (LODs) to ensure smooth performance across different viewing distances. High-resolution textures and physically based rendering (PBR) materials bring the airport to life, with each building and object boasting its own unique texture set, no repeating textures here! Both the iconic control tower and main terminal will feature fully modeled, detailed interiors, further elevating immersion. AFCAD elements, such as runways and parking stands, have also been refined with the same high level of care and precision. KDET will be fully optimized for both MSFS 2020 & 2024 at launch, ensuring a seamless experience across platforms. Airport Background: Coleman A. Young International Airport (ICAO: KDET) is located just six miles northeast of downtown Detroit, Michigan. Formerly known as Detroit City Airport, it was renamed in 2003 to honor Detroit’s first African-American mayor, Coleman A. Young. The airport is owned by the City of Detroit and serves as a regional general aviation facility. At a Glance: Handcrafted scenery with meticulous attention to detail Dozens of custom assets, including animated elements All models include 4–10 LODs for optimal performance High-resolution textures with full PBR materials No texture repetition – unique textures for each asset Fully modeled interiors for both the tower and terminal Carefully crafted AFCAD, including runways and parking stands Optimized for both major flight simulators 5
Max Addante Posted July 1 Posted July 1 Hi to everyone! I would like to share with you some small video previews. They show the details of the models and in particular the resolution of the textures with the materials behavior, which is where I focused most of my effeorts. I hope you like it! This is just a work in progress, it does not represent the final quality of the product. Regards, Max Control Tower: Glide Slope Antenna: Custom animated assets: FDCA Building: 4
