X-Plane 11 - Add-on: Aerosoft - Airport Istanbul PC

Istanbul Airport stands as Turkey's top international hub, operational since 2018 on a vast 76.5 million square meter site northwest of the city along the Black Sea. This X-Plane 11 simulation add-on delivers a precise replica with photorealistic PBR textures on buildings and vehicles, high-resolution ground markings, and custom 3D taxiway signs. Pilots navigate animated jetways, VDGS, and marshaller signals-requiring the SAM plugin-plus custom airport vehicles via SAM AirportVehicles. HDR night lighting illuminates detailed surroundings, including hand-placed autogen, water, realistic static aircraft, and seasonal textures. Ortho4XP compatibility and included AIRAC 2104 navdata ensure seamless integration; copy the Custom Data folder to X-Plane's main directory if needed. Flight simulation enthusiasts who demand accurate airport replication and enhanced visuals find this essential for global hub operations.

Istanbul Airport (ICAO: LTFM, IATA: IST) is the new main international airport of the city of Istanbul. It has been in operation since 2018 and ranks 1st among airports in Turkey. Istanbul Airport is located on an area of 76.5 million square meters and is intended to be a global hub between the continents of Asia, Africa and Europe. The airport is located northwest of Istanbul on the Black Sea, approx. 40 km from the city center.

Stairport and SceneryTR got everything out of X-Plane for this project, so of course all airport buildings were implemented and textures with PBR were used. Animated jetways, VDGS, own animated airport vehicles and much more were installed on the airport area. Compatibility with other add-ons such as Ortho4XP was also ensured. Since the airport is not available in X-Plane by default, we have also included the appropriate AIRAC data.

Note Nav data:
In order for the newer nav data to be recognized by X-Plane, the “Custom Data” folder in the “Custom Scenery / SceneryTR - LTFM Istanbul - 01 - Airport / NAVDATA_AIRAC_2104” folder must be copied into the X-Plane main directory. If newer Nav data are already installed, this step is not necessary.
