Mega Airport Berlin-Brandenburg

Berlin-Brandenburg Airport is finished and now you can land at this airport even though it will not open before 2016!

The building of the airport was not without its problems. Construction began in September 2006 and inauguration was scheduled for October 2011, but construction progress is now more than three years behind the initial schedule and costs have been rocketing. The airport has suffered from continued delays, so it is far from completion at the time of release of this add-on (April 2014) and an opening date is not yet in sight.

Mega Airport Berlin-Brandenburg covers the existing Berlin Schönefeld airport as well as the adjacent new international airport. A simple tool makes it easy to switch to the current status or one where the new airport is open.

• Highly detailed rendition of Berlin Brandenburg International Airport "Willy Brandt" (BER)
• Includes the older Schönefeld (SXF) airport (north of BER) with the same level of detail
• Two AFCAD versions that can be switched to your liking: BER open or SXF only
• Winter textures
• Detailed VFR landmarks such as the Waltersdorf shopping complex right in the new 25L approach
• Numerous dynamic objects such as apron vehicles; road and train traffic (AESLite) (FSX only)
• Animated visual docking systems
• Detailed navigation systems (ILS, VOR/DME, NDB, ATIS)
• Realistic shadow rendition on all 3D objects and ground by texture baking
• High resolution day and night textures (2048 x 2048)
• Realistically placed runway/taxiway/approach lights based on official airport charts and aerial images
• Authentic stop positions for each aircraft type painted on the ground at each gate (based on latest aerial imagery taken for this purpose)
• Extensive coverage of over 100 square kilometres with high resolution aerial imagery (0.2-0.4m/px)
• Complex mesh terrain even depicts smaller terrain features (e.g. elevated streets, quarries...)
• 64,590 hand-placed autogen objects (houses/vegetation) covering the complete aerial image
• Realistic 3D grass and vegetation
• Numerous custom static objects around the airport
• Configuration manager for optimal performance
• Highly detailed manual including PDF charts
• Compatible with standard AI traffic and AI Traffic add-ons
• Compatible with Ultimate Terrain X, FS Global and VFR Germany
• Compatible with Airport Enhancement Services (AES) (FSX only)

• AESlite is not supported in P3D, meaning you won't see any ground traffic at and around the airport as you see it in FSX.
• Ground night lightning in Prepar3D 2.2 is slightly different to the FSX version since it uses different lightning techniques compared to Prepar3D 1.4 and FSX. We did our best to match color tones to the FSX version.
• Prepar3D 2.2: Transparent windows around the BER terminal are not always shown in the right order. Same applies here: We did our best to solve this issue and make sure it's barely visible (if at all).
• Prepar3D 2.2 won't load some foglight effects around apron lightpoles when you save a flight at BER and load same flight. However all effects appear as they should when you fly in from another airport or load the airport through the airport menu, which is usually done. Bug has been reported to the Prepar3D 2.2 developer team.
