Tours Val de Loire : a foot in professional designing


FSX. The french team Sky Designers has released his second airport after Salon de Provence. Tours Val de Loire, in France region Centre is another important military airfield where are based EAC Jet fighters school (40 Alpha Jets according to Wikipedia) and personal resources headquarter. But its also a civilian airport open to public air traffic. LFOT has strong links with the irish low cost company Ryanair and the civil traffic is growing pretty fast.....


Tour Val de Loire includes 70 % of the hangars and buildings and two towers, one for public air traffic and a second for military operations. Main terminals and hangars include low-average definition textures and night lights. One of the military hangars is open, showing off two jets. Some hardened jets bunkers are also open and, technically, you can start a mission inside one of them.

This is the second Sky Designers project, so i will not blame them at all. There isn't any photoreal ground textures but mind that the french army is jamming the airbase. From Google Earth, you cannot see all the airport... I also experienced some erratic fps jumps in external view but its not the first time. I got the same bug even in some high level sceneries. Sky designers is a young team, they will improve ultimately and show us very good work. If you want to encourage them, buy the scenery and gently ask for a good upgrade ! Oups already ongoing ! The team is working on a patch to improve the scenery.

No photoreal grounds, the base is constantly jammed
by the french army...


Eye-candy !
