Aerosoft has released their rendition of Tenerife South airport, making it the third developer to release an add-on for this airport. The Aerosoft version is part of their ‘Canary Islands Professional‘ series, which also includes other Canary Islands such as El Hierro, La Palma and La Gomera. The scenery has been developed by Sim-wings.
The news of the release came as a bit of a surprise, as the last time we heard anything from Aerosoft in regard to this scenery was all the way back in December of 2017. Since then, other developers such as MK-Studios and Digital Designs have released sceneries for this airport.
Aerosoft’s Tenerife Sur comes with several features, such as highly detailed textures of the south part of the Island, PBR textures and effects, SODE jetways, animated vehicle traffic, interior modelling and more. A full feature list can be found at the bottom of this post. Aerosoft has also done a lot of work to work with the P3Dv4 SDK, to make the installation of this add-on and usage of extra features as easy as possible.
Canary Islands Professional – Tenerife Sur is available for Prepar3D v4.4, and Prepar3D v4.5 is required for PBR wet effects. You can purchase it from the Aerosoft shop for €24,33.
