The new flagship for X-Plane.

 

Hello everyone. I'm pleased to announce that my new scenery for X-Plane is now available on the Aerosoft Online Shop. Check out the launch trailer below:

 

 

Sprawled across 18,076 acres of land—an area larger than the island of Manhattan—DFW is the world's third largest airport. With 681,244 aircraft movements in 2015, it is also the world's third busiest airport. 7 runways, 5 terminals, 165 gates and 3 control towers help accommodate the 1,845 daily flights. DFW is the headquarters and the largest hub of American Airlines, the world's largest airline.

 

Features

  • 30 cm/pixel orthoimagery and 1 cm/pixel custom ground detail/markings
  • Airport lighting and pavement markings closely follow FAA/ACI standards
  • Terminals with interiors modelled using actual architectural drawings
  • Modelled aircraft overpasses crossing International Parkway
  • Ray-traced ambient occlusion, local illumination and specular mapping
  • Uses advanced X-Plane features such as decal shading and 3D spill lights
  • Animated passenger boarding bridges and Safedock® A-VDGS at all gates (using the freely available AutoGate plugin by Jonathan Harris)*
  • Animated road traffic and Skylink APM
  • Works with the ‘Draw Parked Aircraft’ feature introduced in X-Plane 10.50
  • Complete taxiway network for use by ATC and AI aircraft
  • Fully compatible with the X-Life plugin by JARDesign*
  • Makes full use of the new ground service vehicles introduced in X-Plane 11
  • Thousands of hand-placed objects such as parked cars and streetlights
  • Parked cars, streetlights and terminal interiors can be individually turned on/off to optimize performance*
  • Uses 4K textures to maximize performance by minimizing draw calls

Crucial Bug Fix for Aerosoft Dallas/Fort Worth Intl

 

A user has pointed out to me that crossing the elevated overpasses on Taxiways A/B/Y/Z may cause your aircraft to abruptly jump a few feet into the air and suffer from a tailstrike or other form of damage.

 

Use this fix to to diminish the issue:

  1. Download the Aerosoft_KDFW_Overpass_Fix.zip file attached to this post.
  2. Extract the archive.
  3. Copy the extracted 220.obj file and place it in your X-Plane/Custom Scenery/Aerosoft_KDFW_5_Scenery/ folder, overwriting the previous file.

Important: The Aerosoft_KDFW_Overpass_Fix.zip file I posted in my previous post (post #6) was causing AI traffic to taxi through the elevated overpasses instead of over them. Please download the new Aerosoft_KDFW_Overpass_Fix_#2.zip file attached to this post instead.
