Location: 45° 37' 48.3" N, 8° 43' 28" E

The Malpensa airport is the largest airport of northern Italy. It's located 46 km northeast of the city of Milan

The location of today's airport played a rather important role in the history of the Italian aviation, as on May 27 in 1910 Gianni Caproni's first airplane, the Ca.1, started here. At this historic place Giovanni Agusta built prototype airplanes as well. Later Malpensa became a military airfield. Commercial flying started in 1948. The first intercontinental connection (to New York City) was established only two years later

Nowadays Malpensa airport has two terminals and a large cargo area

ILS:
RWY 35L: IMA 109.1 MHz
RWY 35R: MLP 109.9 MHz
RWY 17L: IMSL 110.75 MHz

PAPI for all runways with a slope of 3°

Release info:
The goal is not to create the airport as realistic as possible, but more to just improve its visual style and is mainly made based on Google Maps data

Update version 0.5:
- Added the first structures of the T2 area
- Added the main control tower
- Further parking spots and taxiways
- Additional markings on taxiways and aprons

Update version 0.5.5:
- Additional structures in the T2 area

Update version 0.5.6:
- The three satellites have now light maps (T1 and T2 will be made later)
- Added some cargo parking spots
- Added a few new ground markings

Update version 0.6:
- Added custom jetways for T1 Sat A and B (Glass jetways (Sat C) will be added later)
- Additional structures on the landside of T1
- All parking spaces and taxiways are now included
- More ground markings added

Update version 0.7:
- Added more structures in the T2 area
- Added a cargo terminal building (Logistica)
- Added structures between the runways (Tower and fire station)
- Added moving trains
- Additional details around the airport

Update version 0.7.5:
- Additional warehouses and details around the tower
- Fixed the train spawn position

Known issues, currently not included yet or not planned:
- The terminals will get more details and improved textures in the future
- Not all buildings are done. If a building is currently not present, there is an autogen building instead
- Further polishing of the airport with more details, better textures, improved ground markings, better night-lighting and so on will come in future updates
- The ATC is not able to recognize the no entry signs on the taxiways
- No optimization for snow on taxiways or on aprons

This project is made with a mix of default and custom textures. Therefore when using a mod which changes the default ground textures/lines, the look might be different.
