Developer JustSim has updated their P3D version of Linz Airport (LOWL) to version 2.0.
Notable changes include the addition of PBR-based materials compatible with P3D version 4.4 and above. The update also includes changes to ground polygon textures, the addition of SODE animated wind socks, and modified AFCAD files.
Located near Linz, the third-largest city in Austria, the airport is relative small (with only 11 gates), and serves just over 500,000 passengers each year, with scheduled and seasonal flights.
