Hello Friends

Mid summer update - work on the interior is moving forward at full speed with the goal of finish it up in the next few weeks. Once that task is done, moving back to the apron is required to get it ready for you to enjoy. 
I don't have a release date yet but aiming for late fall / early winter.

Looking forward to getting this upon release!

Can we hope for releasing in the near future - maybe before FS2024 yet?

Initial release for MSFS 2020. Once the SDK for MSFS 2024 will be one that we can work with, an update version will be published.

Sounds good, thanks.

[Der Merowinger 169]

Are there any news please? I have a voucher which is guilty until 31.12. and I don't want to waste it for addons I don't need and like.

We are almost there, turned into final approach few minutes ago

That is actually really funny. ANA is launching a direct 787 flight between Tokyo and Milan Malpensa (the first since Alitalia was shut down) in December and I'm scheduled to fly on it in January.

As promised, we are now on a very short final

Hello everyone,

after seeing the trailer i saw some errors in the scenery. Before diving down into them i would like to give some background about me.

I live near Malpensa and i photograph at that airport since 2009 so i saw the evolution of the airport in all those years plus, i have the opportunity to be able to organize airside spotting sessions thanks to SEA (Malpensa airport authority) so i have a first hand point of view.

After seeing the trailer i felt that there might were some errors and after a closer look here's what i found.

Firstly i want to start with the parking positions present in the scenery.
Malpensa is divided in three macro areas:

• Terminal 2 only used by EasyJet
• Terminal 1 Sub divided in SAT A (only Schengen) Sat B and Sat C (Only Extra Schengen)
• Cargo city 1 and cargo city 2

Attached you can find the three macro areas directly provided by the free online consulting tool provided by ENAV Italy

By looking at the video i saw that there were so many wrong airplanes parked in the following area

• From stand 300 to stand 320 (which are used primarily by private jets and, rarely by private A320 or 738) 
• Stand 351 to 357 are used only by single aisle aircrafts
• stand 391 to 394 are used only by wide body aircrafts
• stand 330-331-332-333 are used only by private single aisle (they are the closest to SEA Prime facility)
• stand 335-336 are a long term parking for the Lufthansa maintenance facility
• stand 334 is a mixed use stand for both medium and wide body aircraft same as the two above this one

Regarding Sat C

• Stand 495 is reserved only for A380 (there was a Cathay 77W parked there)

Speaking of Sat C it's missing a whole bridge section that goes from the upper floor to the finger attachment point for stand 499 and 495. On top of that Satellite there's the Emirates business lounge which have the peculiarity to have two boarding point reserved only for business and first passenger and it's connected directly to the upper level of the A380 via a separate bridge and finger.
In this scenery those bridges are missing completely.

 

Moving on

• All the parking from 451 to 764 (Remote areas in front of Terminal 1 and Cargo city 1) are exclusive use of aircraft up to Cat C (A32x or 737)
• 621 to 625 can be used up to CAT D but primarily are used by 737 or 320 (CAT C)
  
  Other that those issues pointed above regarding the parking spots, i saw that the Calvert lights are placed at the end of the displaced threshold of Runway 35L which is incorrect in real life, they stop at 135m before the displaced threshold.
  
  Regarding the scenery, apart from the low resolution texture (but it might be a limitation from the trailer) i saw that there were some bus (Malpensa Shuttle Bus) airside at Terminal 2 and one at Terminal 1 under the tower
  Those bus are used only to connect Malpensa with other airports like Linate, Bergamo or Turin.
  
  The railings on the access road to the terminal is missing and there were some cargo ULD stationed on taxiway Kilo in front of Cargo city 1 (they should be in between the painted road which is the limit for the stand area)
  
  Lastly the control tower doesn't have anymore the "flat" radar dome but it was changed in november 2021 with a new rounded one (i can provide some photos of it)
  
  About all the landside details i'm not that preoccupied because we will use the airport, obviously, in the airside area but... as i pointed out, it seems like that it was used as a template the parking layout in operation until 2014 more or less.
  
  I hope this message will not be seen as an open attack but as an open critique to try and take this scenery in line with what Malpensa is right now.
  
  Thanks for your patience.
  
  Kind Regards
  
  Lorenzo

Keep in mind that there's no way to limit stands to aircraft larger of a certain size. 

 

IE: you can make stands available only for smaller aircraft by limiting the radius of the ramp, or make it available only for specific airlines, or only to a specific type (ga, airliner, cargo, military), but you cannot make stands available for instance only to widebodies, or only to A380s.

Thanks for the report but as @Abriaelnote, it is hard to achieve such a result in MSFS. I'm writing down everything you suggested and we'll try our best to improve with version 1.0.1
Your feedback is much appreciated! 

 

Cheers,

Amos

 

[mikkel 119]

It looks really great!

Only issue I have, is that the tower looks fake even in real-life, so wonder if you had access to high resolution images to make image based shaders for it?

Also, I wonder if the red colour on the striped masts are unrealistically red? I don't specifically know the MSFS renderer, but I've worked with PBR tech when it was new, and there are usually some limits in the colourspaces that needs to be respected for photorealistic results.

Looking very much forward to the release, it's really great to finally get a high quality Malpensa!

[Zangoose 2]

Does it come with an included GSX Profile?

Could this be because this is a conversion of the P3D professional aerosoft model?

[Der Merowinger 169]

It's relased now, thank you very much
