Another combined airport and city tour. KSAT from IniScene, and San Antonio itself (in the second post) following the recent Texas Cities Update.

KSAT is another one of those airports that is not exactly design-led. Functional but nothing to look at. The Iniscene vesrion is quite nicely done, with lots of detail in the various periphery areas which are nothing glamorous, but very well modelled . The main terminals themselves are partially modelled, but have no people, which seems to be a thing with a lot of these airports lately. Personally, I really don't understand this - having authentic looking interiors with not a soul in sight is a bit absurd, and I assume (could be wrong, of course) that there are model libraries full of people out there and it wouldn't be that complex for the developers to add pixel people to the mix.

So we'll start wih a general overhead of the main buildings, and then take a trip round some of the details

This is what I mean by the peripheral details. Nice details in the vegetation, fences and wirework, and things like the telegraph poles and their light fittings. Of no great interest to the cockpit-botherers amongst us but I like this sort of thing

I thought the pick-ups were really nicely done, and I love the detail of the pallets the wreck is sitting on

Again, nothing special or glamorous, but just very nicely done. Very realistic, I thought.

Boring but well done

Now this is just weird. Main entrance building, and they went to the trouble of including the aircraft suspended from the ceiling but nothing else. Maybe a future update? Probably not as this is almost a year old now.

Whereas in the boarding areas you have more comprehensive modelling (if no people)

Back outside

Hey! A properly modelled highway interchange (part of the KSAT package)!

And off to the city itself, to be shown in part two

Really liking these detail-oriented airport and periphery tours. (Shame about the people, though.)

Nice set Andy, how is the performance and fluid from inibuilds KSAT ?

cheers 😉

Cheers John, glad you're enjoying them. I'm certainly enjoying doing them, plus I record and save all these flights (I do the screenies on playback) so it's nice to be able to go back and do them again whenever I feel like it. I can play with the weather, seasons etc that way.

Cheers PM. Performance is fine for me, but I do have a fairly chunky machine now.  No special problems with flow, apart from the ever present threat of stutters and pauses from MSFS (a thing I really appreciate the absence of in XP, now that I'm using that again as well)

Great detail and pics Andy! 😉 

Cool shots.
