Hello,
Complete description and first final screens before the imminent release of PESIM LFBD P3DV4 !
Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport is a French international airport located in the municipality of Mérignac 12 km west of Bordeaux in the Gironde department, in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region.
The airport serves as a base for the airlines Air France, EasyJet, Ryanair and Volotea.
A large number of companies serve Bordeaux which is a targeted city and advertises a range of destinations like Zurich, Geneva, Amsterdam, Budapest, London Glasgow, Manchester and many others in addition to the French network.
It welcomed 7.7 million passengers in 2019, up 13%, making it the 8th French airport and the 6th outside the Paris region.
It shares its runways with the Air Force 106 Bordeaux-Mérignac air base.
The airport has large construction sites spanning until 2021 in order to improve the automation of its infrastructure and to enlarge and modernize the terminals as well as the parking and reception facilities for visitors.

To begin with, substantial work was done on the photo real mesh (LOD19) perfectly connecting the roads to that of ORBX over an area of approx 60 km2.
We have modeled all the buildings in the area in an ultra detailed and realistic way by including many details present in 2019/2020 all in PBR.
The textures used are of high quality and 99% PBR.(99% PBR-1% photoreel)
The scenery is FPS optimized
An important information is the choice we made about jetways. Indeed GSX replaces the default jetways automatically for the holders of this addon.
Their walkways are sublime and perfectly animated. This simplifies your use for a perfect result.
The night environment has been worked on by including many shades and night effects.
We have created many different dynamic realistic "Spots" for most of the light objects for a magnificent rendering.
Taxiway, runway, ALS and wig wag lights are also dynamic, allowing better results, a more realistic effect as well as greater flexibility of evolution and much better performance at night.
Each building is PBR and has been worked according to a complete documentation, thousands of local photos among others of the satellite.
In order to be as realistic as possible, we plan to follow up and update the scenery. Indeed, many works are in progress at LFBD.
In addition to the ultra detailed design, we have added many optional HD libraries via LFBD configurator allowing to add the interior of the terminals as well as many decoration objects who will be able to adapt according to performance and desires.
All windows have realistic overall reflections and some are PBR.
The ground and the lines were made with HD PBR textures including crackling effects and other water stains and puddles, ultra realistic and up to date in 2020.
A UHD patch (2k-4k) is available as an option.
The PAPI were modeled as well as the runway lights and the ALS also with dynamic PESIM effects.
Concerning the taxisigns, they have been replaced as in real and we use for the moment those by default, which allow to be replaced by those of the galleries of REX, Envtex or others.
Basic vehicles (cars in parking lots) and trees are linked to your autogen settings.
AFCAD has been worked in a precise and ultra-realistic manner offering perfect positioning and coherent vehicle movements.
We added the progressive rain effect of P3DV4 which is fantastic as well as custom puddles.
Due to the significant impact on grass performance in 3D, we have also added this optional function, installing areas of 3D grass.
Regarding SODE we have included the animated windsocks as well as the LFBD flags all animated.
The scenery have compatibility with all third-party software (All ORBX / FS Global ultimate next/FVFR mesh)
We are pleased for LFBD to offer you superb static planes from our partner Vaptor Studio. (A318, A310 zero G PBR)
Finally we have added non-listed parking spaces on the general aviation and BA106 sides to allow you to leave from a hangar or your favorite flying club.
Throughout the stage design the concept of performance and economy has never been overlooked and we have done everything to optimize our scenery.
LFBD configurator allows you great flexibility in options.
PESIM Central allows you to update without reinstalling when possible
We will continue to offer you all possible developments in this direction.
We will be adding custom animated vehicles soon which will have negligible impact on fps.
We thank our partners Ignition Design, Christian Bahr, Vaptor studio, Philippe Mijon, Simmarket, FSElite, Digital Flight Wire, Avionic Online.
We hope you will have some good flights at Bordeaux-Mérignac.
