At the forefront of the flight simulation industry, iniBuilds has recently announced the development of Oklahoma City Airport (KOKC) for Microsoft Flight Simulator, the busiest commercial airport in Oklahoma with a yearly average of 4 million passengers. With this exciting news, aviation enthusiasts and gamers alike can look forward to a highly realistic and accurate rendition of Will Rogers World Airport in the upcoming months.
For those unfamiliar with the airport, Will Rogers World Airport, formerly known as Oklahoma City Municipal Airfield, first opened in 1911 and was later renamed after Will Rogers in 1941. During World War II, it served as a major training facility, hosting over fifteen air force groups throughout the war. In the late fifties, commercial activity began with over 48 daily commercial flights from different airlines, making it a hub for air travel in the region.
Fast forward to the late 90s, and expansion talks for the aging terminal began due to its age and outdated facilities. In 2001, plans were launched for the demolition of the twin concourses to make room for the new project: a larger terminal with high ceilings and modern facilities. After five years and a $110 million investment, the project reached completion, with the third phase still pending. In March 2019, the third phase was finally completed, significantly increasing the airport’s passenger handling capacity and overall facility quality.
iniBuilds’ rendition of Will Rogers World Airport will feature a highly detailed and accurate replica of the airport as it stands today. Aviation enthusiasts can expect a fully modeled interior, up-to-date airport and terminal layout, high-definition textures, 3D people, detailed jetways, correct airline parking allocations, a fully modeled landside, and custom taxi signs. Moreover, the airport features unique details that have been faithfully modeled and animated, such as the oil wells present on the airfield, showcasing the airport’s strong ties to the oil industry.
