Features:

• The airport is fully updated to its 2023 status.
• Terminal C has been modeled from scratch, boasting full interiors. All gates in this terminal utilize the GSX "Airport walkers" feature, enabling the visualization of passengers within the terminal interiors and during the boarding/deboarding process via GSX.
• A comprehensive integration with GSX Pro is implemented, with an included profile featuring more than 1500 custom pushback routes, 49 walk-in gates, and 156 VGDS.
• New door automation has been introduced, ensuring all doors at Terminals B and C automatically open/close during GSX-enabled passenger boarding/deboarding. The relevant information panel at the gate animates to display the GSX operation in progress.
• All parking positions in the GSX menu have custom friendly names, circumventing the limited naming convention of MSFS by default.
• The airport definition file provides high accuracy, with proper parking codes for AI, and has been validated with both FSLTL and FS Traffic.
• Full Dynamic Lights are implemented, with a spread of hundreds of light sources across the airport.
• Bridges and underpasses are portrayed using the latest high-resolution terraforming technology.
• Skyway Train is animated for enhanced realism.
• Taxiway lights are fully customized, with dynamic lighting, including orange/green variations on taxiways intersecting runways.
• Most textures are improved and upscaled using AI, and then manually converted to PBR.
• MSFS Parallax shaders have been extensively utilized to augment the appearance of buildings without modeled interiors, with almost negligible performance impact.
