FSX Formosa X Scenery (All Parts)

Formosa X, RCTP Taiwan Taoyuan Int'l Airport 1. This project improves the default FSX scenery to better represent the appearance of Taoyuan International Airport as it is in 2011. All airport buildings and nearby landmarks were were custom-made using Gmax, including animated radars and people movers. Runways, taxiways, and aprons have been repositioned based on satellite imagery. Aircraft parking had been updated using the latest real-world AIP. A photoreal terrain of the Taoyuan area, plus landclass improvements, is also included. Part 1 of this package contains the airport scenery. Part 2 contains background photoreal textures and landclass files. By Houting Chiang, Rudolf Liu, Jack Su, Mike Huang.

Taoyuan International Airport (ICAO: RCTP, IATA: TPE) , formerly known as Chiang Kai-shek International Airport or CKS International Airport, is the largest and busiest airport of the Nation Taiwan. As of 2010, it is the fifteenth busiest air freight hub in the world, and thirteenth busiest airport in terms of international passenger traffic. Two Taiwanese international airlines, China Airlines and EVA Airways, site their home at RCTP. After taking a shuttle bus to the nearby Taiwan High Speed Rail (HSR) Taoyuan station, travelers can reach the capital, Taipei City (24 km), in less than one hour, or the southern business and industrial center of Kaohsiung City (about 300 km) in two hours.

After over 30 years of operation since 1979, Taoyuan International Airport is currently undergoing its most extensive renovation and expansion to bring back its prestige as the "National Gateway for Taiwan." This will be a totally makeover project for RCTP. The first stage is scheduled to be completed in 2013 or 2014. By then, the airport will have a brand new look, such as a rebuilt Terminal 1.
