Ancona Falconara Airport (LIPY), officially known as Marche Airport, serves as the main gateway to central-eastern Italy along the scenic Adriatic coast. It connects the region with key European destinations while hosting a busy mix of airline flights, cargo movements, and general aviation.
Created using 3D airport structures by Lucio Barelli, this release brings the airfield into X-Plane 12 with a complete environment overhaul. The scenery features custom ground textures, extensive environmental modeling, and tailored detailing built specifically for X-Plane.
The entire airport layout and surrounding area have been crafted with high attention to realism. Key additions include custom terrain sculpting for the adjacent railway line, realistic road and apron traffic, rich 3D foliage, and hand-placed clutter throughout the airfield.
