NEWS! - ShortFinal design updates EDDM Munich Airport to v1.2

 

 

ShortFinal Design are known for their very impressive mega sceneries like SFO-San Francisco (X-PlaneReviews best of the year award 2022). Earlier they had released EDDM Munich Airport for X-Plane 11. Here is v1.2, and releasing now is the much wanted converted Munich for X-Plane 12, and for its more modern effects.

 

Munich Franz Josef Strauss (IATA: MUC, ICAO: EDDM) is the second busiest airport in Germany after Frankfurt Airport, handling 44.6 million passengers in 2017. This also makes it the seventh-busiest airport in Europe. It offers flights to 266 destinations. Munich is a hub for Lufthansa, Lufthansa Regional, Lufthansa Cityline and its Star Alliance partners. Located about 28.5 km (17.7 mi) northeast of the city of Munich, it features two passenger terminals with an additional midfield terminal, two runways as well as cargo facilities. Construction of the airport began in 1980, and it commenced operation on 17 May 1992, replacing the old Munich-Riem Airport and taking over its ICAO and IATA codes.

 

Extensive changes in v1.2 cover new 3d fences and trees, new apron 35, new custom airport vehicles, new X-Plane 12 mesh, added also is the EFM building and a new fire station building. Jet blast deflectors are also added, as is the new terminal 1 extension (under construction). Notable like SFO is the switch to Living Scenery Tech plugin (required for the scenery).
