Editorial
As a country, Turkey is one of the nicest in Southern Europe and I was desperate to finally make it look as good as I could. Unfortunately, key parts of Turkey – even Istanbul – look fairly generic and do not carry the same weight of quality as they should.
When I came online and noticed that the Ataturk Airport had finally been put together and provided in the right style, I knew that I immediately had to try this out and see what I made of it! The package itself, then, is a full airport scenery package for one of the most prominent airports in the capital.
This is the busiest airport in the entire country, and it has been captured to the minutest of details to ensure that it looks absolutely perfect. If you tag it all together and fly over the airport now you will notice a stunning, fully functioning airport that manages to capture all of those little details along the way.
It was created more or less entirely using 3DS Max, using scenery that accurately portrays the hangers, the parking bays, the docking as well as major graphical changes for illumination and also for night-time. This means the whole thing looks suitable expert, giving you a representative design that looks truly outstanding and manages to capture all of the most important features about the airport.
The scenery itself just blew me away, really. I’ve been to this airport several times in real-life so I know the feeling that the approach gives you as you see a truly amazing city unfold in front of you. This airport does that in some style, loading buildings and landmarks in all of the right areas as the entire airport more or less fits into place. It’s a lovely location and this scenery package is one of the first that I have ever used that does the package some genuine justice!
It looks awesome and manages to capture that depth and detail of the aircraft perfectly; it also captures the lively nature of the location. With 24m people per year using this airport, it’s always got something going on and this manages to recreate that perfectly throughout. The variety and the range of static aircraft throughout as well as boats and AI traffic all moving in sync perfectly creates the image of one of the busiest airports on the planet.
Always wanted to make Istanbul come to life? Then the airports are the first thing that you should look at. They capture the details of each section perfectly and make it nice and easy for anyone to truly understand where they should be going. Now, approaches can be made far more enjoyable and taxing around the airport becomes much better as you get to see the real airport unfold around you.
Lastly, the performance impressed me – usually, this level of detail and depth will hurt general performance but this does nothing of the sort, running smoothly whilst looking the best that it possibly can!

Better yet, can you release a version without the static aircraft? I find them to be a nuisance on any scenery.
Hi, I have your LTBA Istanbul above addon installed on FSX, however the static aircraft at the airport such as Turkish airlines, KTHY, Iberia, british the livery is not loading so the aircraft are grey or incomplete can you please help me as this use to work well before
