As Wuxi Shuofang Airport is a combined military-civilian airport, the military area in the scenery is only a background element. Its appearance and layout are artistically adapted entirely from Google Satellite imagery, with no sensitive information included. This approach balances the realism of the airport scene while ensuring content safety and compliance.

Features:

• T1 and T2 terminals modeled using extensive on-site photos, with moderate interior details to replicate real-world scenes.
• Rich ground details: PBR (Physically Based Rendering) ground textures and custom dirt marks are applied. The dirt marks on runways that cannot be cleaned after long-term use are recreated, and ground lines have the texture of real-world paint— showing surface reflection at night.
• Innovative custom functions: In addition to standard features of custom airports (approach lights, strobe approach lights, runway centerline lights, taxiway edge lights, runway exit lights, runway guard lights, airport interior lights, high-rise strobe anti-collision lights, taxiway signs, animated wind socks, dynamic on-site vehicles, custom jet bridges), the following are added:
  180m-tall industrial cooling towers with water vapor that changes direction with the wind;
  Custom audio, including offline terminal boarding announcements, VIP lounge music, airport security prompts, and elevator safety alerts;
  "Scare eyes" (bird deterrent devices) whose rotation speed changes with wind force to repel surrounding birds (though currently non-functional for bird repulsion); airport bird deterrents also play deterrent sounds automatically;
• Terminal "sleep mode": interior lights dim from 23:00 to 05:00 daily;
• Time retrograde function: if you set the in-game time to before January 1, 2023, the text on the terminal roof will change from "Shuofang" to "Sunan Shuofang".
• The total polygon count of all models is approximately 300,000-500,000. This relatively high count is due to splitting large models into smaller ones, followed by LOD (Level of Detail) processing. During gameplay, not all polygons load at once—high-detail models load when you are near, and low-detail models load when you are far away. This ensures game performance and reduces rendering computational load.
• Airport data is produced in accordance with Wuxi Airport specifications. Runway slope, ILS (Instrument Landing System), and signal towers are consistent with what is indicated on aeronautical charts. The PAPI (Precision Approach Path Indicator) light angle is 3 degrees. As this is a public airport, aircraft models using third-party data can also fly normally here.
