The entire volcanic island features a high-resolution height mesh and colorfast aerial images. The airport buildings are modeled in high detail and come with interior decoration, while the ground layout is based on recent data from the real airport. The military area is included as well.
The virtual airport of Gran Canaria comes with functional windsocks, PBR materials for some surfaces, and optional SODE-animated jetways. Via the included config tool the scenery can be adapted to run great on one's own system.
In addition, the default scenery of the "El Berriel" airfield has been modeled as the "El Berriel light" version so that it looks and works very well.
