Southwest Florida International Airport Scenery for X-Plane

With a wholesale edit of the way that the whole area looks and feels, this mod will give you a chance to visit the second busiest single-runway airport in the United States and finally see it in all of its authentic glory and true design!

The main reason for using this mod is simple – this is a piece of aviation heritage, and if you like to use realism as part of your flights then there are few better options out there to go with than this mod. It helps to really capture a vital airport and sell it as it should have looked in the first place.

Using 10cm/pixel scenery and 1cm/pixel ground layout textures this does a pretty spectacular job of helping you enjoy a fresh, engaging and thoroughly unique airport scenery option.

This makes use of the modern style of the airport, including the new 2005 terminal that was included. In short, you are left with an airport that pushes the right look and feel whilst also avoiding the use of non-repetitive textures.

With the use of baked night illumination and ambient occlusion, too, you get a truly stunning airport that looks the very best that it can. If you want to make the visual appeal of the airport as impressive as the actual usage, then this mod is just what you need – it combines the best of both worlds to make a fair rendition of this vitally important piece of American aviation.
