Microsoft Flight Simulator enthusiasts have a new reason to celebrate as Orbx has released their latest project, Chester Airport (KSNC), for the popular flight simulation game. Developed by indie developer Matteo Veneziani, the airport offers a unique and exciting experience for virtual pilots.
Located in the state of Connecticut, 5km southwest of Chester, the airport covers an area of 146 acres and has a single 2,566 ft runway that is open for public use. The majority of the traffic at the airport consists of general aviation operations, and it is privately owned by Whelen Aviation.
Orbx has included a range of impressive features in their latest release, including a custom groundpoly with sloped runways and taxiways, conditional display of objects based on weather or time-of-day, and 4K textures with PBR. The airport is surrounded by the picturesque New England countryside, making it a great destination for virtual pilots looking to explore the region.
The airport also offers a unique experience for pilots as the runway has a moderate slope and the apron is situated about 3 meters below the runway. Access from the apron to the runway is made through sloped taxiways, all of which have been accurately modeled in this virtual rendition.
Chester Airport is available for purchase from Orbx Direct for $13.99 AUD (approximately US$9.66 | €9,06 | £8.02). The airport requires at least 2.36 GB of free disk space to install and provides a unique and exciting experience for virtual pilots.
In conclusion, Orbx’s latest project, Chester Airport for Microsoft Flight Simulator, provides an exciting new opportunity for virtual pilots to explore the New England countryside. With its impressive range of features and stunning scenery, it is definitely worth checking out.
