Porto Airport - LPPR
Description:
Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport or simply Porto Airport is an international airport that serves the region of Porto, Portugal. The airport is currently the second-busiest in the country, based on aircraft operations; and the second-busiest in passengers. The airport is a base for easyJet, Ryanair, TAP Air Portugal and its subsidiary TAP Express.
The airport around Porto opened in 1945 and was initially known as Pedras Rubras Airport, after the name for the locality where the airport is located: Pedras Rubras. It was renamed in 1990 after former Portuguese prime minister, Francisco de Sá Carneiro, who died in a plane crash when he was traveling to this airport on 4 December 1980.
Porto Airport reached ten million passenger per year for the first time on 6 December 2017.
Airports Council International Airport Service Quality Awards voted the airport Best Airport in Europe in 2007. Additionally, it has placed in the top three of Best Airport in Europe a further nine times – winning second place in 2010, and third place in 2006, 2008, 2009, 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016.
This addon replaces the autogen version of the airport with a detailed realistic version with custom realistic buildings, full runway and apron lighting and even some custom buildings near the airport.
Features:
- Custom realistic airport terminal and nearby buildings;
- Custom ground markings and taxiway signs;
- Full custom lighting in the apron and nearby zones;
- Added true approach lighting and VASI (PAPI) lighting;
- Custom animated radar building;
- Ground textures who replicate asphalt patches and differences in the pavement;
- Realistic elevation and terraforming;
- Other custom props and clutter;
Dependencies:
- This addon does not need any external libraries, but needs at least the 40th anniversary update and the World Update VIII Iberia because of some props.
Compatibility:
- Compatible with my other addons (LPVL, Porto Landmarks ...);
- Not compatiblewith MKStudios LPPR or TropicalSim LPPR.
Known Issues:
- Sometimes the AI traffic is crazy and instead of pushback it vanishes.
- Sometimes Tower frequency is heard when tuned on ground frequency.
NOTE: Keep in mind that this addon is a continuous project with upcoming updates, so the majority of the models will be improved in the next versions and some existent autogen buildings will be replaced by custom ones, also, please don't hesitate to contact me for sugestions or bug reporting.
