The Buochs Airport (ICAO code LSZC Mil: LSMU) is a regional airport in the town of Buochs in the Canton of Nidwalden in Switzerland; home of the famous Pilatus Aircraft factory. It has a concrete runway with a length of 2000m (6561ft) and a width of 40m (131ft). The airport is situated in a beautiful location, flanked by five large mountains and nestled right up to the large idyllic Lake Lucerne. Pilatus has been producing their iconic aircraft at Buochs since 1939. The airfield was also chosen to house Swiss Air Force planes beginning during WWII. The location was chosen for its strategic placement and took advantage of the mountains by building secret embedded hangars into the mountainside. Up until 2003 the airport remained an active Swiss Air Force base, housing Mirage III, occasionally F-5 and F-18 aircraft. Many of the grass covered aircraft shelters can still be seen around the airfield and the site remains in a “reserve” status that could readily be reactivated. The airport is perfectly situated for many types of flying in the simulator. It has a wonderful glider facility with excellent soaring opportunities and many other scenic airports and sites nearby. Several notable places to fly to or from Buochs are: LSZS, Samaden, 65 nm SE;  LSZH, Zurich, 30 nm N;  the Matterhorn Mountain peak 65 nm SW;  and for a difficult steeped sloped landing experience, LFHM, Megeve, 100 nm SW. This scenery will be a perfect addition to come and pick up your new PC-12 or PC-24 from the factory once released for the Sim!

Very nice airfield! Since I fly a lot with the Pilatus PC12, I often use this place as a departure point.

EDIT Feb 28th:Version 1.2 definitelly improved the performance. I think it's still a bit on the stuttery side, but it's a lot better than before. Thanks a lot.Rating changed from 3 stars to 4 stars.Orginal comment from January:This is a solid product. The attention to detail is great. Even the surroundings to the airport are improved a lot. Very nice.However, I have quite some performance issues. I fly in VR and this airport cuts my framerate pretty heavy :/Not so much in 2D, but in VR, this airport is really slow on my machine. I usually only have such issues with large airports. With small airports like this, I usually get much smoother performance.So: I really hope the performance of this airport can be improved.I think it simply has way too much (unnecessary) polygons and too many highres textures in areas where it's probably not needed.Once this airport has better performance, it will be a 5/5 stars for me.But for now I have to remove 2 stars because it's really not optimized yet.Hope there will be an update soon that is less demanding in VR.Can I still recommend it? Yes.But performance needs to be improved.

We heard people's feedback and have tried to quickly respond with a HOTFIX to optimize performance with much more stable FPS and have reduced the download size by almost half without without any noticeable changes in quality. We hope you will see the hotfix posted shortly and can provide feedback on the performance after the files are swapped out.
