X-Plane owners who use Airworthy Design’s version of Princess Juliana Airport (TNCM) will be pleased to hear that store’s now have the v1.5 update ready to download. The biggest improvement found is with performance. After hearing feedback from the community, the airport no longer requires the 2K texture pack, and various 3D models have been re-done to make them more performance friendly.
Furthermore, there’s also been a host of improvements including PBR on the runway, animated flabs, autogate has been added and an improvement in vegetation within the area.
You can download the update from your store’s account, or you can buy it now from the Org store for $32.95.
