SOUTHOAKCO, in partnership with ARIF STUDIOS, presents Schaumburg Regional Airport.
Schaumburg Regional Airport (ICAO code 06C) is a public-use airport located 22 nautical miles northwest of Chicago. Owned and operated by the village of Schaumburg, Illinois, United States, it spans 120 acres at an elevation of 801 feet above mean sea level. The airport features one runway, designated 11/29, with a concrete surface measuring 3,800 by 100 feet. The terminal building, covering 26,000 square feet, includes a plane spotting restaurant (Pilot Pete's) and houses the Fixed Base Operator (FBO) Northwest Flyers. The airport averages 123 operations per day, with 99% attributed to general aviation and 1% to air taxi services. All aircraft operating here fall within the GA-small category, weighing less than 8,000 pounds. The Village of Schaumburg's Sport Center is also situated on the western edge of the airport. Pilots flying into this airport must be aware of and comply with the busy Class B airspace of nearby O'Hare International Airport to the east. Key features of this airport include:
- Meticulous attention to detail with realistic PBR (Physics Based Rendering) textures for all unique 3D buildings.
- Atmospheric night lighting.
- Use of actual photographs and site visits for maximum realism.
- Modeling of notable landmarks such as the water tower to the east and the Sport Center on the western edge.
- Realistic depiction of surrounding businesses, lakes, and traffic, including trucks, cars, and boats.
- Inclusion of an aviation air show or 'Fly-in' for added realism and detail, allowing pilots to taxi around vintage aircraft.
- Cold and dark starts available at various ramps and inside hangars, including the FBO Northwest Flyers' main hangar. Frame rate optimization for both 2D and 3D environments.
