After releasing Heydar Aliyev Airport for MSFS a couple of weeks ago, Azrsim has now released the airport for X-Plane 12.
Heydar Aliyev International Airport (UBBB/GYD) is the main international gateway for Baku, the capital city of Azerbaijan. The airport can trace its roots back to 1933 when flights to Moscow, Russia were launched. However, it wasn’t until February 1964 when a passenger terminal was put into operation at the airport. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, a new passenger terminal, runway, and air traffic control center were constructed. Throughout the 2000s, the airport underwent further construction at the passenger facilities, resulting in win numerous awards from Skytrax. Currently, the airport serves as a hub for several airlines, including Azerbaijan Airlines, Azal Avia Cargo, Silk Way West Airlines, ASG Business Aviation, and Silk Way Airlines.
Azrsim’s rendition of Heydar Aliyev Ariport has been built from scratch and takes full advantage of all of X-Plane 12’s capabilities. All of the terminals buildings and hangers feature interior modeling, including walkable interiors in the main passenger terminal to enhance realism. In addition, the scenery features high-quality ground textures and custom surface markings true to the real airport. Azrsim also took full advantage of X-Plane 12’s lighting engine to create detailed, dynamic night lighting.
You can now purchase Azrsim’s Heydar Aliyev Ariport for X-Plane 12 from simMarket for €16.00. However, at the time of writing, the scenery is on sale for €8.00.
