About the scenery
The Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA), formerly known and still commonly called Manila International Airport (IATA: MNL, ICAO: RPLL), is the airport serving Manila and its metropolitan area. It lies on the border between Pasay and Paranaque, about 7 km south of Manila proper and southwest of Makati. NAIA is the main international gateway of the Philippines and a hub for AirAsia Philippines, Cebgo, Cebu Pacific, PAL Express and Philippine Airlines.
This scenery is full of custom objects, facades, vegetation and autogen that reflect the real Manila International Airport and its surroundings, and is by far the second largest scenery we have made. It is provided free of charge for the X-Plane community.
Features
Hand-placed custom scenery
Full custom hand-placed objects, facades, autogen and vegetation.
All four terminals in 3D
Terminals 1, 2, 3 and 4 modelled in 3D, with HD structures around the airport.
Detailed ground
Extremely detailed, realistic custom ground textures on the runways and aprons that show the airport as it is, with PBR ground textures.
Satellite imagery
High-resolution satellite imagery of the whole Metro Manila area and several provinces.
Photo-real texturing
Photo-real texturing and baked ambient occlusion on some structures, PBR on selected buildings.
Static aircraft
Custom static aircraft away from the ramp starts, for the best online flying experience.
Ground routes for AI traffic
Fully set-up ground routes, so third-party traffic such as World Traffic 3, Live Traffic and Traffic Global works.
Lighting and jetways
Custom HDR lighting on the ramp stands and animated jetways (AutoGate by Marginal).
FPS friendly
Optimised for performance (depends on your machine and settings).

Plaridel is a small airport inside the Mega Manila coverage and is not modelled yet. Download our RPUX patch here (MEGA).
World Traffic 3 shows no aircraft on the Terminal 3 ramps
Download the GroundRoutes and ParkingDefs here and put them in by hand.
Which AI traffic do you recommend?
We recommend Traffic Global: it generates the most accurate AI traffic, especially when assigning aircraft to ramps.
