Shadescene, a developer of add-ons for Microsoft Flight Simulator, has recently released their latest creation – a stunningly accurate rendition of Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport (WMSA). The airport serves the township of Subang in Petaling District, Selangor, Malaysia, and sees an average of 2 million passengers annually. While it was Kuala Lumpur’s main airport from 1965 to 1998, when the new international airport in Sepang was opened, it was subsequently repurposed to serve general aviation and turboprop domestic and international flights.
The airport has a rich history, and although plans existed to convert the airport into a low-cost carrier base, the change was opposed by Subang Jaya residents. The airport was subsequently renamed after Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah Al-Haj (Salahuddin of Selangor), the eleventh Yang di-Pertuan Agong of Malaysia and eighth Sultan of Selangor. Today, it is the base for several commercial airlines, including SKS Airways, Firefly, Batik Air Malaysia, and Raya Airways, and it also hosts general aviation and cargo operations.
Shadescene’s Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport add-on for Microsoft Flight Simulator offers a highly detailed and accurate representation of the airport. It includes a replica of the famous old terminal 1, custom terraforming, custom scenery objects for the terminal, high-resolution textures, hand-placed taxiways, and runway light systems, full day and night lighting, and hand-crafted ground markings and textures.
