Some brand new previews for Orbx’s Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (KATL) have just been shared by the team. This rendition of Atlanta’s airport comes from famed developer Matteo Veneziani, who is known for his Sacramento (KSMF), Burbank Hollywood (KBUR) and Olbia airports (LEIO).
The new previews give us a good look at the impressive 3D modelling on the multiple terminal buildings, the trina line, and also the airtrain. We also get some landslide shots, plus a look at some of the detailing that is going into recreating the roof of some of the terminals.
When the project was announced back in February, we were also given a look at the feature list. As a reminder, there will be 3D lighting and taxi signage, along with animated Atlanta SkyTrain and Atlanta Metro Trains. Expect detailed interior modelling, custom GSE equipment, animated jetways, and correct gate assignments. Overall, Matteo is promising a high-quality rendition of the world’s busiest airport. The airport is being designed to be the correct layout as it is today.
Expect information in the coming weeks about a release date. Once we learn more, we’ll be sure to let you know.
Features
- Complete, up-to-date 2025 rendition of KATL airport buildings and surroundings, including the latest Concourse T expansion.
- Airport layout updated to reflect the latest 2025 changes.
- Developed by a single creator, ensuring the highest level of optimization and a consistent style for airport textures and models.
- Innovative ambient occlusion technique enhances realism and texture definition.
- Ultra-high accuracy in airport structure models, based on on-site images and video. Every door, electrical line, tube, air conditioning system, and sign is placed exactly as in real life – no random objects used – ensuring maximum airport fidelity.
- Accurate ground elevation across the entire airport – Atlanta’s unique sloped runways are realistically represented, rather than using a flat terrain.
- Detailed interior modeling, based on real-world imagery.
- Animated Atlanta SkyTrain and Atlanta Metro Train, complete with detailed airport train stations.
- High-quality, photorealistic textures with handcrafted corrections.
- Custom 3D taxiway lights, including various specific ground lighting.
- Custom 3D taxiway signs, modeled to match real-world shapes and proportions.
