Ancona Falconara Airport

Bringing the Adriatic gateway to X-Plane 12. A comprehensive depiction of Marche's main international airport with emphasis on regional terminal architecture and concrete weathering.

Current Development Status

Ancona represents an entry into the Mediterranean flight paths. Work is currently centered around translating the stark, sun-bleached properties of the main apron into X-Plane 12's engine, manipulating custom normal maps to capture realistic surface cracks, drainage systems, and heavy runway tire markings.

Milestone Roadmap

WED Master Layout Splicing Complete vector tracking of runway 04/22, taxiway networks, and precise military parking nodes.
PBR Material Maps & Bleach Weathering Baking localized specular profiles to match the dynamic reflective gloss of Italian airport concrete under wet and dry conditions.
Bespoke Terminal Glass Shading 3D structure realization for the main passenger pavilion using XP12 transparency layers.
