Just added a separate GSX porfile file that I use in my setup (same one as in previous shared package).

 

LTFM Scenery for MSFS 2020 v1.9.98 (also works in MSFS 2024)

It is confirmed that this update (still a W.I.P.) solved the missing SID and STAR problem which most probably

started after SU 4.

Countless changes applied to the scenery since v1.9.55, mostly corrections on mesh, taxi lights, drainage canals etc.

Important Note: DO NOT delete imagery files and GSX profile files from previous package (v1.9.55) and only replace 

the scenery folder.

Enjoy.

LTFM Scenery for MSFS 2020 v1.9.55 (also works in MSFS 2024)

MSFS 2020 freeware scenery of LTFM Istanbul Airport updated to v1.9.50 (v2.0 to follow after Nov 2024)
and will be shared publicly in 2 web sites: Turkish Virtual Airlines (turkishvirtual.com) and here at 
flightsim.to as before.

I spent more than 2 years to bring it up to this level as per all available charts and imagery, YouTube
videos as well as my personal videos and pictures I recorded and took during several r/l flights from 
Istanbul.

In this version all 3D TERMINAL models are replaced with new ones and all the credit goes to M. Ali 
Oguducu. Also Kamil Uzun and M. Firtina Ozcinar deserves credits for other 3D models used in this project. 
Custom jetways used in this project are also created by Kamil Uzun and M. Ali Oguducu. Special thanks to 
Emir Sert for his help with the alteration of the texture file for the jetways and piers. 

This update is mostly concentrated on changes to Terminal model placements using new files. Also ground 
markings and elevations are updated and drainage channels are placed. All ground markings, taxi lines and 
taxiway lights are same as in v1.9.20. 

Please note that there is a separate CGL folder included in this version which covers only the airport area.  

WARNING: 
************************************************************************************************************
You will see most multiplayer aircraft hovering at @ 15 m AGL and those are mostly people who are using the
payware scenery or MAY BE freeware v1.01a. This elevation difference is something that only ASOBO can fix.

IF THIS IS GOING TO BOTHER YOU, PLEASE DO NOT COMPLAIN AND SOURCE THE PAYWARE ONE AS WITH IT, YOU WILL NOT 
FACE THIS PROBLEM.

I have spent many hundreds of hours to create the slopes of each runway and their connected taxiways as 
well as all aprons. I forgot how many times I started from point zero to bring it to its current level. The 
gradient is about 1% from South towards North as in r/l.

Installation: 
***********************************************************************************************************
TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE, PLEASE REMOVE ALL PREVIOUS FOLDERS RELATED TO LTFM SCENERY AND AERIAL IMAGERY

There are 3 folders in this package:
1- argaeus-airport-ltfm-istanbul
2- argaeus-ltfm-aerial
3- Virtuali

Extract #1 and #2 to your Community folder.
Extract #3 to ....\AppData\Roaming\Virtuali\GSX\MSFS folder.

PS. Make sure to remove any previous profile file related to LTFM.

SceneryIndexes folder located inside the LocalCache folder should also be deleted as well before starting 
your simulator (which will be re-created from scratch). 

A separate imagery file is still available for people who want to download it for better immersion. 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This package covers the dual motorway at south side of the airport. As it is 1.78 GB in size, I had decided 
to pull it out of the scenery CGL and only shared enough imagery to cover the airport area within the main 
package.

The link to the secondary imagery file is (argaeus-ltfmsouth-aerial.zip):
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bLsVTUuylfl0UFL4W_ZxDoRDp1SZciSj/view?usp=drive_link

Some models from freeware UK2000scenery are also used so you should have the library installed to see them.

IMPORTANT:

This scenery is NOT to be used in ANY type of COMMERCIAL simulators and the only way for this to happen is 
to obtain our written consent and making a minimum donation of €2000 (Euros Twothousand %00 or equivalent 
in local currency) to : 

LOSEV Leukemia Foundation for Children. https://www.losev.org.tr/v6/

For those who intend to use this scenery in their personal computers for their personal joy, it is free of 
charge but they can also make ANY amount of donation they wish to make to LOSEV. Based on the information 
in the website, all credit cards with 3D secure payment can be used.

We do not need money for a coffee or a pint of beer but the charity needs it to treat those kids.

Errors may appear and will be corrected going forward and the package will be updated after MSFS 2024 is 
released. Up until this moment, this package worked fine in MSFS 2024 Dev Alpha version and will be 
converted fully to MSFS 2024 in the future.
 
Enjoy your flights to and from Istanbul Airport.

One final note: This scenery is working perfectly fine with MSFS 2024 Dev Alpha version and you can copy both folders
(#1 and #2) to your new "2024" Community folder to use the scenery in MSFS 2024.
