Shannon Airport by Boundless Simulations is now available for X-Plane 11. Shannon Airport (EINN) features the longest runway in the country and can accommodate aircraft such as Air Force One and even serve as an alternative for space shuttles. On a day-to-day basis, however, the airport sees frequent services from Irish airlines Aer Lingus and Ryanair, whilst Lufthansa, TUI and American Airlines operate seasonal flights to and from the airport.
Key features for the airport product include the accurate airport layout and high definition PBR textures used to create the ground textures. Boundless Simulations has also modelled terminal interiors and various airport buildings to a high level of detail. In addition, HD orthophotograpy has been included for the surrounding area and “Boundless HD Trees” help complete the surrounding area for a seamless experience. AutoGate compatibility is also assured, along with animated custom road traffic and custom airport vehicles. A full list of the key features is down below.
The release forms part of a new agreement between Boundless Simulations and iniBuilds where iniBuilds will publish all X-Plane and future Microsoft Flight Simulator releases by the developer. You can buy Shannon Airport for X-Plane 11 now from the iniBuilds store for £18.99 (excluding VAT). It is also available directly from Boundless’ website for a slightly cheaper price of £17.99 (no mention of tax).
