Our scenery does not include models for the old “Smith” and “Berry” terminals because they are no longer in use and were in fact being dismantled when the scenery was released.
Those include runway hold-short flashing lights at every intersection and three-dimensional, oversized parking position alignment aids. A few extra marking and signs are added to facilitate ground movement in the simulator environment and enhance the pilot’s experience. Taxiway signs and markings are carefully placed at each intersection to facilitate taxing. The scenery also includes detailed and accurately positioned 3-D models for most navigation aid fixtures including approach lighting as well as localizer, glide slope, and VOR antennae. Especial attention is paid to the location of navigation facilities including VORs, localizers, glide slopes and precision approach path indicators. Runways and taxiways are laid out according to current official airport diagrams and charts. The FAA air traffic control tower attached to the McNamara terminal is also included. The most relevant general aviation facilities include two fire stations, the FedEx and UPS package handling facilities, the Delta Airlines maintenance complex, the Asig and Metro Flight services general aviation terminals and aircraft storage hangars, four deicing pads and numerous general aviation and maintenance facilities. All structures including hangars are three-dimensional and available for customization and use. Our scenery also includes the great majority of structures located within the airport boundaries. All concourses combined, our scenery includes one hundred and forty two individually configured, jetway-equipped gates. Optional sets of static vehicles individually positioned and branded to represent the airline using each gate enhance the terminal environment during taxi operations. Aircraft parking positions and boarding gate configurations accurately represent the real terminals. The terminals and other components of the scenery feature three-dimensional and light/shadow effects created by means of actual three-dimensional details in each model as opposed to the use of complex and frame-rate intensive textures. It depicts the passenger terminal complex at an unprecedented level of detail and includes the new North terminal as well as the most recent additions to the McNamara terminal: the concourse B extension and the new concourse C. The scenery is offered in two versions sold separately, one for FS2004 and another for FSX.īluePrint Simulations version of Detroit Metropolitan Airport is current, detailed and accurate.
