Singapore Changi Airport & City

Singapore Changi Airport, commonly known as Changi Airport (IATA: SIN, ICAO: WSSS), is a major civilian airport that serves Singapore, and is one of the largest transportation hubs in Asia. It is currently rated the World’s Best Airport by Skytrax for the seventh consecutive year since 2013.[9][10] It is also the first Airport in the world to do so for seven consecutive years and is one of the world’s busiest airports by international passenger and cargo traffic. The airport is located in Changi, at the eastern end of Singapore, approximately 20 km (12 mi) [11] from Marina Bay (Singapore’s Downtown Core), on a 13-square-kilometre (5.0 sq mi) site. The airport is operated by Changi Airport Group and it is the home base of Singapore Airlines, Singapore Airlines Cargo, SilkAir, Scoot, Jetstar Asia Airways and BOC Aviation.

In 2019, Changi served 68.3 million passengers, making it the 16th busiest airport in the world.

SCENERY DESCRIPTION

This scenery is state of the art with made love from Asia Pacific! With months of work, we are proud to announce it is now released! Hope you will enjoy it as much as we do. The scenery is full of custom objects and autogen based on real world geographic data. All structures are placed on exact location and as much as possible with same shape. With our custom developed program that maps data from OSM to your simulator, giving you the ambiance and immersive experience of being in Singapore. With hundreds of objects modeled, custom textured to match Singapore ambiance and aesthetics, you will love to fly in Singapore like never before! Below are some scenery feature highlights! If you want to see some screenshots, we have tons below!

  • Fully implemented ground routes (Means 3rd party traffic are fully supported like Traffic Global, WT3, Live Traffic, etc. We highly recommend to use Traffic Global though for most accurate AI traffic and low FPS impact)
  • Custom Modeled & Animated Jetways using SAM Plugin
  • Animated Custom Vehicles using GroundTraffic Plugin
  • FPS Friendly & Optimized (Depends on your machine and settings)

RECOMMENDED MACHINE SPECS

  • X-Plane 11 Version 11.40+ (MUST!!)
  • Processor: Core i5 or higher
  • 8GB RAM minimum. Best is 16GB RAM or more
  • GPU: GTX 1050~ with atleast 6GB VRAM or higher (lower GPU haven’t tested but said works just fine)

COMPATIBILITY AND SUPPORTED SIMULATORS

  • X-Plane 11 Version 11.40~
  • X-Plane 11 Version 11.50b4~ (Vulkan Rendering – Just keep in mind that GroundTraffic plugin is not yet working with Vulkan so you will not enjoy our custom vehicles traffic and sky train)
  • X-Plane 12

CAUTION: This scenery is extremely large and very dense so you might want to adjust some settings. This is because we mapped almost every single (80%) of structures found in Singapore to your simulator at exact place & shape to give you best immersive feeling of being on the land of Singapore via the X-Plane’s facade system (if not objects) with custom texture to match Singapore’s ambiance and aethetics.

READ BEFORE BUYING

Disclaimer:

Although, we try our best to fully simulate the real Singapore WSSS Changi Airport and city, we have many limitations to consider like performance and limited data we have. But rest assured you will have the Singapore Changi Ambiance when flying. Please check screenshots below to see what it looks like.

Military air bases in surroundings like Peya Lebar (few structures only) and East AirBase are not modeled due to lack of data, structures are placed with generic objects only based on data available on satellite image. This might be modeled soon in coming updates but we also need to take account FPS impacts because as we all know, the more HD object textures, the more we sacrifice a bit of performance.

Don’t have for WSSL (Selatar) Airport? Download our adjusted default Selatar Airport HERE. If you have custom WSSL or Selatar Airport, it should be placed above ACS sceneries so it will show up. If you aren’t sure, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

When buying this item, we don’t provide refund should you want to do it for some reason. So before buying, please download first our FREEWARE products (we have tons) especially RPLL Mega Manila to see what you can get on this scenery package. Please also see screenshots below.
