What is Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport?
Budapest Liszt Ferenc International Airport (LHBP) is the largest and busiest airport in Hungary, serving the capital city of Budapest and its region. It is named after the famous Hungarian composer and pianist Franz Liszt, who was born in 1811 in the nearby town of Raiding. The airport has two main terminals, T1 and T2, connected by the SkyCourt building, which houses shops, restaurants and lounges. The airport handles about 16 million passengers and 120,000 aircraft movements per year, connecting Budapest with several European and international destinations.
What does the FSX LHSimulations - BUDAPEST LISZT FERENC LHBP V1.01 add-on offer?
The FSX LHSimulations - BUDAPEST LISZT FERENC LHBP V1.01 add-on is a product of LHSimulations, a Hungarian company that specializes in creating realistic sceneries for flight simulators. The add-on covers the airport and its close vicinity in high detail, using high resolution photorealistic textures, custom 3D models, accurate ground markings and more. Some of the features of the add-on are:
- A high resolution photobackground covering the airport and the close vicinity of the airport.
- Seasonal textures of background and custom (no default) vegetation for all 4 seasons.
- Airport's taxiway/gate/parking stand layout represents accurately the current status.
- Custom textured taxiways, runways and aprons.
- Very accurate projection of the taxilines and markings in high resolution.
- Background (lines, aprons, concrete textures, dirts, roads etc. on the airport) uses as less layer as possible for the best performance.
- The background have less vertex (polygons) than our LHDC Debrecen airport where there is only one runway and much less parking stands, taxiways.
- Custom 3D runway edgelights, taxilights, touch down zone lights, approach light poles.
- Custom light system at the whole airport, no default light system is used, means all lights are there where the real one is.
- Intensive use of LOD's (Level of detail), farer objects are projected in a simplified detail to reduce the amount of vertex's to be drawned by the GPU.
- Buildings are accurately modelled with optimized resolution (the resolution may be less than what we usually used in our present sceneries but this is due to the large size and high amount of buildings of the airport to optimize performance).
- The inside of the SkyCourt (Main terminal, T2) is modelled (you can see through the window).
- Reflection (glass) and bump (normal map or depth map) textures are used in FSX for the best appearance.
- Custom reflection map is used not the ugly FS default one. Reflection map is used for setting what should be seen in window reflection.
- "Baked" shadows on the textures so even if you switch off the shadow option in FS you will still see the shadows on the ground and on the buildings which enourmeously increases the realism and less performance is needed for the GPU.
- During winter the building's roofs will be covered with snow.
- The aviation museum close to the final of rwy 31L is modelled by Tibor Kókai.
- Animated road traffic around the airport.
- AES (Airport Enhancement Services) compatibility (coming soon).
- All published approaches will be created in the AFCAD file, means all RNAV, ILS, VOR, NDP approaches will be available in the default FS GPS/GNS.
- Automatic season change for vegetation, photobackground and building's roof.
- Animated vehicles on the aprons.
- Completely automatic installation. If the FS is installed correctly, after the scenery installation it can be used immediately, the scenery will be registered automatically in the scenery library and the dll's will be registered.
