Frankfurt Airport (EDDF), the largest commercial airport in Germany, serves as a major hub in Europe and worldwide. In 2019, it accommodated 70.6 million passengers, making it the fourth largest European airport, trailing only behind London-Heathrow, Paris-Charles-de-Gaulle, and Amsterdam Schiphol. The airport is also a key player in cargo handling, with over 2 million tons of freight processed annually. It is the home base for Lufthansa, Discover Airlines, Condor Flugdienst, and Lufthansa Cargo.
Aerosoft has now released the Mega Airport Frankfurt add-on for Microsoft Flight Simulator, offering a highly detailed recreation of Frankfurt Airport. This add-on provides a accurate representation of the airport’s latest layout as of September 2024. Key features include precise modeling of airport buildings, custom terrain elevation, and detailed runway profiles. The scenery includes the iconic taxiway bridges that span the autobahn, connecting to runway 07L/25R, along with realistic night lighting effects that enhance the immersive experience.
The package covers the entire airport boundary and nearby areas using custom aerial imagery, and features advanced custom taxiway signage and lighting. Stands are configured to support AI traffic, complete with airline parking codes, and the scenery includes a tailored GSX profile for enhanced ground services. The airport environment feels dynamic and alive, with modeled interiors for airside-visible areas, animated passenger models, and custom vehicle traffic on the apron and nearby roads.
For users who employ the Aerosoft VDGS module, the add-on supports highly accurate Type1 and TypeX safedock systems. The add-on also offers adjustable settings for passenger and vehicle density. While the new Terminal 3 is modeled in the scenery, it remains non-operational in line with its real-world status, with plans to update its availability once it officially opens.The Aerosoft Mega Airport Frankfurt is now available for $24.99 USD, excluding VAT.
