| Alicante–Elche Miguel Hernández Airport, (ICAO: LEAL) is a popular tourist destination and Spain's fifth busiest airport. The airport is visited by airlines such as Easyjet, Ryanair, Wizz Air, Norwegian, TUI, Transavia, Vueling, Iberia, Jet2, Lufthansa, Swiss, Finnair, Scandinavian, Eurowings and more.
Update 1.8: See changelog for all the changes.
Version 1.5 or higher requires World Update 8 (Iberia update) to be installed for the scenery to work correctly.
Known issue: Photogrammetry ON might cause small visual glitching where ground lifts up around the airport and returns to normal when you get closer. Don't know a fix to this. Photogrammetry OFF works without problems.
Installation: Just drop the leal-alicante folder into the Community folder.
Updating: Remove the old version from Community folder before installing the new version.
I highly recommend the use of this additional mod https://flightsim.to/file/7963/yet-another-ground-marks-fix to be used with my airport (or any other airport to be honest). It's not mandatory but it tones down those bright red ground markings.
Features:
- -Custom models of the new main terminal, old terminals 1 & 2 and the ATC tower.
- -Extensive ground markings around aprons, custom parking spot textures and corrected parking/gate locations and numbers.
- -Extensive taxiway markings and custom taxiway textures.
- -Custom runway markings and textures.
- -Custom working jetways.
- -Custom night lighting.
- -Scenery objects such as boarding stairs, baggage carts, shuttles etc. placed around the airport.
- -Terraforming improvements.
- -Detailed interior for the main terminal.
If you notice any problems, feel free to inform about them and I'll see if I want to fix them.

Can you please tell me what the exact dependency on the Iberia World Update is? I don' want to download the entire updates, just the specific assets. Thanks!
hergi1234 2 day(s) ago
Replied faster than i could think haha.. the scenery does not use any assets from Iberia WU. The problem was that after the WU the terminal got elevated by like 20 meters and that was fixed after scenery version 1.5. Haven't tested what the current situation is without WU being installed.

Got a Crash today! With Version 1.30.12.0Can't approach or load into ithergi1234 17 day(s) ago
Maybe try with photogrammetry on in settings if you have that off. For some reason even with default airport in LEAL photogrammetry off can lead to CTD.. but usually it still works fine with photogrammetry off

On the 28 I just had a glitch in the runway which makes my CRJ jumping up and MSFS detecting a crash. Is this due to your comment above regarding the photogrammetry? That would be a nogo for me always to check when I have to switch that on or off! Its a pity, otherwise this scenery is really nice! 5 stars anyway as it seems not to be your fault.

What comes to the photogrammetry issue there is nothing i can do about it. Personally i havent ever bumped into a bump around the 28 area even with photogrammetry on/off so it is weird. Personally i keep MSFS crash detection off because i see only little use for it.
dkaller 2 month(s) ago
ok, I'll give it a try, don't want to blame you.

for some reason, whenever i put it into my community folder the airport still shows normal, do i need premium deluxe version?
hergi1234 2 month(s) ago
Just this updated version or also all the previous versions? It should work if you only put the leal-alicante folder to community file. You don't need Premium deluxe for this

Hello,
after SU 11 there are no ILS approaches and no other like VOR DME, RNAV possible at this airport. The developer of these airports should be an upgrade publishing.
More information finds in the MS Flight Simulator Forum:
https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/airports-with-custom-ils-broken-since-su11/557724
This issue is also mentioned in the SDK:
https://devsupport.flightsimulator.com/questions/11380/sdk-v01903-ils-issue.html
I hope for a fast solution.
Thank you.

Thanks. If you have any addon airplanes most of those will still work fine.. i’ll look into it once i have time. It’s so annoying the method i’ve used used to be the only right way and now they’ve changed it back to the way that used to be the wrong way

The scenery is awesome, thank you so much. I was trying to contact you on discord but it seems that you might've changed your username by now. Let me ask you here, then. The charts say that runway 28 is at 43' elev. However, in this scenery it seems to be at around 90-100'. Is this something that you can correct?

Hi. Just tested with the latest version of this mod and with Fenix a320. I get an altitude of 49ft at rwy 28 threshold so very close to the real number at least

Hello Hergi1234,
Very nice scenery, I love it! Congratulation⭐️!
Can you make Atlanta Jackson-Field International Airport with custom jetways (with Delta logo and Southwest logo) and custom ground marking please.
Thank you

hergi1234 6 month(s) ago
Thank you very much! Although Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Intl is a little bit too small to my liking 😀 so hopefully someone else makes that
TheStrikeEagle 6 month(s) ago
No problem, I totally understand. And what about Calgary CYYC or Montreal CYUL 🇨🇦 ?

Looks really nice but i got no Jetways on the Gates 89,87... - 81.
hergi1234 6 month(s) ago
Thank you! Those gates you mentioned at the old terminal don’t have any jetways anymore in real life.. (unless if they’ve changed things very recently)
Andreas96 6 month(s) ago
Oh that is good to know, gonna change my rating then. Thanks!
hergi1234 6 month(s) ago
No problem and thank you! https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/44306916661 there are at least some pics of the real old terminal 1 (without jetways). It did used to have jetways but that old terminal isn’t really used anymore 😊
Andreas96 6 month(s) ago
Yeah i just checked on google maps and they are gone. However the stand Numbers seem to be different. Maybe you can double check? On Navigraph they are like your scenery thow.
hergi1234 6 month(s) ago
Navigraph is most likely correct or if you have chartfox.. google earth might be outdated, i remember when making the scenery that there were some differences between the most recent gate numbers there and the satellite pics
