Developer Pyreegue Development Co. has released an airport texture enhancement package for X-Plane 11.
ALES (Airport Layout Enhancement Solution) replaces the default airport ground textures with new high-quality 2K textures that take advantage of PBR texturing. From runways to taxi lines, Pyreegue Development has worked hard to bring an in-depth recreation of many different aspects of the airport environment, with a promise of more replacements to be added as soon as more research material is sourced. For more information, take a look at the screenshots and full feature list below.
In order to experience the full potential of this texture enhancement, you must switch your HDR settings on within X-Plane.
You can purchase ALES from SimMarket for EUR11.76 (£10.56/$13.68).
