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

- Corrected more base mesh especially connecting taxiway F to N6 / N5 / N4 / N3 / N2 / N1 / NE and F7
- Darkened the asphalt color a bit for whole airport.
LTFM Istanbul scenery for MSFS 2020/2024 v2.0.30

- Added a few more 3d custom and stock models.
- Corrected many items including base mesh.

- Added underlying imagery - delete/remove any previous imagery folders you may have.
LTFM Scenery for MSFS 2020 v2.0.23 (also works in MSFS 2024)
This update probably is the last one until the new runway is finished and in operation.
In this update I mostly concentrated on taxi lights and many other corrections.
Important Note: DO NOT delete imagery files and GSX profile files from previous package (v1.9.98) and only replace
the scenery folder.
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.

LTFM Airport Improvements
This add-on enhances the experience of flying into Istanbuls LTFM airport by improving the surrounding terrain. It addresses inaccuracies in the default scenery, particularly the representation of the Kuzey Marmara Otoyolu highway, providing more realistic elevations. Additional vegetation such as trees and bushes has also been added, contributing to a more natural look. Compatible with both SceneryTR and malioguducu LTFM versions, the addon aims to offer a more visually appealing environment.

This is an absolutely amazing and fantastic scenery for the Airport! Im very thankful that you (and your team) are frequently developing this!
One thing I wanted to mention is that the aerial imagery file that is in the description doesnt exist, I went into that link and google drive is saying the file does not exist
I'd very much appreciate it if you could update the link so we can download it
And one more thing, is there a preview for that aerial imagery file somewhere? I wanna know how it'll look in the sim before downloading it, and also, is this addon required for that aerial imagery file to work?: https://flightsim.to/addon/104709/ltfm-airport-improvments, or is it not needed and it will normally work without it?
Thats all, thank you again for your amazing work, and now for your time!

There is no preview file that I know of for the base imagery but if you don't like how it looks in the sim, just remove it (CGL folder) from the main package and restart your sim. You will only have base BING imagery that MSFS shares under the scenery.
And finally, no, there is no need to download any other add-on but again you decide for yourself, I have done a lot of work over the motorways.

The issue is most likely that the profile isn't working correctly due to changes made around the terminal; you can test this by trying it out in open-area parking spots. Unfortunately, I don't have enough time to work on GSX.
