Nestled high in the Austrian stretch of the Alps is '''Innsbruck Airport'''. Innsbruck is a seasonally busy [[:Category:Airports|airport]] that serves the ski/alpine industry. It takes local, national and international aviation [[AI Traffic|traffic]]. | Nestled high in the {{Wikipedia|Austrian|Austria}}Austrian stretch of the scenic Alps is '''Innsbruck Airport (ICAO: LOWI'''). Innsbruck is a seasonally busy [[:Category:Airports|airport]] that serves the ski/alpine industry. It takes local, national and international aviation [[AI Traffic|traffic]]. | ||
It's situated in an area of great natural beauty and LOWI is one of the [[suggested airports]] to take off and explore the surrounding scenery. FlightGear's terrain driven [[Weather#Advanced Weather|Advanced Weather]] simulation [https://www.flightgear.org/tours/advanced-weather-v1-4-in-flightgear-2-6/] can recreate the changing mountain windfields of the Alps and really interesting weather patterns of the mountains - which can be [[Howto:Make nice screenshots#Weather|photo-realistically rendered]] by ALS [https://www.flightgear.org/tours/the-art-of-cloud-and-weather-rendering/]. FlightGear now has roads, buildings, and objects based on OSM data for Innsbruck - see [[OSM2City 1st Worldbuild|OSM2City Worldbuild]]. Try flying with season towards Autumn in Environment Settings [https://www.flightgear.org/tours/simulating-the-ever-changing-scenery/]. | |||
Use of the Innsbruck Airport is restricted to "High Performance" aircraft by Austrian authorities (see the Austro Control link below). The airport lies within a steep East-West valley, requiring non-ICAO standard procedures to approach and depart. | Use of the Innsbruck Airport is restricted to "High Performance" aircraft by Austrian authorities (see the Austro Control link below).
