Release

TechnoBrain is one of the few companies one can turn to when it comes to filling a certain scenery niche in our simulators, the Asian Pacific Region, with TechnoBrain specifically focusing on the Japanese prefectures. The company has a few sceneries in this region under their belt already, and is now adding two new airports to that with their most recent release: New Ishigaki Airport and Miyako Airport.

New Ishigaki airport (ROIG) was built in 2013 to replace the older Ishigaki airport, which due to its limited runway length could no longer operate larger jets. New Ishigaki airport serves the city of Ishigaki, which is located on an island with the same name. The airport has a relatively small number of destinations, mostly in Japan, and mostly provided by Japanese carriers such as All Nippon Airways and Japan Airlines.

Miyako airport (ROMY) is small airport is located on the island of Miyako-jima. It is served by All Nippon Airways and Japan Airlines.

TechnoBrain’s rendition of the airports feature detailed and accurate modelling and texturing, and realistic lighting for both runway and terminal. There is an option for dynamic lighting for Prepar3D v4 users. The scenery also comes with photorealistic textures and custom landclass scenery for several cities on the islands. Technobrain has included support for FSX and all versions of Prepar3D. The scenery is available for €39,- on SimMarket.

At long last, FSDreamTeam has released Basel airport (LFSB). The project was announced back in 2017, and has since then only sporadically been previewed. Basel is a particular airport due to it’s location and operators. The airport serves three countries: France, Germany and Switzerland, whilst it’s owned by France and Switzerland together. This makes it one of the few airports in the world that is operated by two countries. The airport serves a number of airlines with destinations mostly in Europe, and is a hub for easyJet Switzerland.

FSDreamTeam’s rendition of the airport has been made from the ground up for Prepar3D v4 using native technologies such as PBR and dynamic lighting. The airport also comes with a few configurable complexity options, such as an airport interior with passengers. GSX Level 2 is also fully functioning, for free, at this airport. A full feature list can be found at the end of this post.

FSDreamTeam is selling this scenery for $29 (excl. VAT), but there is a limited time offer which they call an ‘Upgrade Warranty‘. This limited time offer will last until a new, major version of the most important simulator platforms will be released. During this time limited offer, the airport will be sold at $19. This $19 will count as an advance payment towards the purchase of the next version of this airport, which is likely to release on a new platform (update), such as the next version of Prepar3D or Microsoft Flight Simulator.
