LTFM Istanbul Airport, Turkey v.1.0.1
INSTRUCTIONS
1- For a clean installation you need to download version 1.0.1a from this page and extract the contained "argaeus-ltfm-istanbul"
folder into your Community folder.
2- For base imagery you have 2 options but use only ONE of them:
a) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aNPbrZZSehhXtaD9tDWdq0vzn1D883KU/view?usp=sharing - (outdated but "matching" base imagery)
b) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vgQILCVQbGB7dwZ_ELZAXI3uhewmL_xS/view?usp=sharing - (more recent and realisticly coloured
but not exactly matching base imagery)
Extract the contained folder into your Community folder (either "argaeus-ltfm-aerial" or "argaeus-tayakadin-ltfm-istanbul" folder
must be used at any given time).
If you face problems, my advice is to
a) Delete "...\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\SceneryIndexes" folder
b) Delete ROLLINGCACHE.CCC file
and start up your sim.
If you still face problems please lower your graphics settings and try again. Still problems: DELETE the package and wait for ASOBO to
include it in the sim. I have been using this scenery both with my laptop (6 GB VRAM 1060 MaxQ medium settings) and my desktop (12 GB VRAM
3060 RTX high settings) without crashes whatsoever.
You need an AIRAC subscription to select SID/STAR/ILS etc until ASOBO includes them in theirs.
Please scroll down towards the end to find out where and how you can make a donation - not to us but to people who need it.

IT HAS BEEN MORE THAN 1 YEAR AND WITH THE EXPERIENCES THAT WE'VE EARNED, WE ARE NOW ABLE TO TARGET THE ISSUES DIRECTLY
THIS PACKAGE INCLUDES MORE THAN 1000 GROUND MARKINGS AS PROJECTED MESH AND SINCE THIS AREA HAS NOT BEEN DEFINED AS AN AIRPORT BY ASOBO, THE SIM CANNOT ADAPT THE PRIORITY IN TERMS OF LOD. THAT WAS THE MAIN REASON FOR LAGS, CTD'S ETC..
THAT'S WHY WE HAVE STARTED TO WORK ON AN UPDATE WHICH WILL COVER
-REMODELLED TERMINAL AND SOME SURROUNDING AREA
-REDUCED AMOUNT OF PROJECTED MESH
-ACCURATE SLOPE PROFILES
AS WE'VE BEEN EXPERIENCED, WE ARE NOT GOING TO RUSH FOR THIS UPDATE SINCE EVERY WORLD UPDATE MAY AFFECT OUR WORK AND PUSH US TO START FROM THE BEGINNING.
OUR MAIN GOAL IS TO CREATE THE MOST ACCURATE AND QUALIFIED WORK WITH THE MINIMUM BUGS POSSIBLE (EVENTHOUGH WE CREATE THE PROJECT WITHOUT ANY ISSUES, UPDATES MAY AFFECT THE WORK WE'VE DONE)
BRIEFLY, THIS PROJECT IS NOT DISCONTINUED. HOWEVER, IT WILL BE PUBLISED WHENEVER IT GIVES THE BEST IN TERMS OF BOTH VISUAL AND PERFORMANCE
-----------
Here it is, finally! Our second project for MSFS 2020 and this time it is enormous!
This rendition of the scenery is a conversion of our X-Plane 11 (WIP) scenery and we decided that we shouldslow down with the X-Plane 11 version and concentrate more on the MSFS 2020 platform as -unfortunately- LTFM is not included in the simulator even as a default airport.
Mind you, this is NOT a finished project BY ANY MEANS but we decided to share it as "open beta" so that people enjoy their flights in and out of Istanbul in MSFS 2020. Everyone should know that we are aware of the missing features and we will be working on them as the time goes by (and pressure is eased). I am sure most of the simmers will be satisfied even with this "incomplete" version. We did our best to match all objects with their modellingand placements. Obviously there are some duplicate to fill up empty spaces.
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 after making a minimum donation of €2000 (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 ofcharge but they can also make ANY amount of donation they wish to make to the same foundation mentioned above.Based on the information in the website, all credit cards with 3D secure payment can be used.
We do not need money for a coffe or a pint of beer but the charity needs it to treat those kids.
Special thanks to Kamil UZUN (MXI) and Muhteşem Fırtına ÖZÇINAR for letting us use their 3D Models in this joint project.
Enjoy your flights in and out of Istanbul.
Mali Oguducu, Hayri Buberci

Being one of the authors, I was also having the same problem immediately after the latest MSFS update and I could not load my LTFM scenery as well, which was working fine right before the update. After an extensive investigation, I decided to do a clean-up because no one had a real answer.
Here is a list of what I did after 2 days of agony, thanks to Asobo!
A) Disabled Rolling Cache from DATA SETTINGS and deleted the file,
B) Cleaned up my Community folder and moved everything to a backup folder,
C) Deleted the Content.xml file in LocalCache,
D) Deleted SceneryIndexes folder in LocalCache,
E) Started up the simulator with no 3rd party mods/add-ons except the official ones from the marketplace,
F) Closed it back after starting up at a default airport,
G) Brought back my add-ons/mods in groups of 10 until all I needed were in there again - deleted some though.
G) After finally copying the scenery folder of LTFM (without making any changes to the scenery files) back to the Community folder, I could start up without any problems. Then I re-created the scenery with the new SDK and started up without a problem again.
So, as a result, both this package that is being shared here and the one that I had re-built with the latest SDK worked fine and if your systems are not starting up at LTFM with "this" package, please check elsewhere or write to Asobo or wait for them to "add" this airport and a scenery for it to their simulator.
We will be sharing the latest package here soon for anyone who are willing to try.

Merhaba ilk instructionda ki ''argaeus-ltfm-istanbul'' dosyasını community folder'a atmak yeterli mi? yoksa 2. adımda ki ''tayakadin'' ya da ''aerial'' dosyalarından birisinide kesinlikle yüklemeli miyiz?

Hi and thanks for this wonderful airport. Where do I have to put the base imagery to see it in the airport in the MSFS map? thank you

amazing

Amazing product that could easily be Payware. STAR worked fine with Navigraph AIRAC subscription and performance is fine as well.

How can i fix the double Touchzone/RWY Issue ?

This is breathtaking. This shows the best side of the freeware community and what can be achieved. You did an exceptional job. Thank you!

This scenery is excellent. I flew into LTFM to find it was just runways no scenery and downloaded this quickly just to reload and finish flight and was extreamy pleased to see how great this is. I was planning on looking for something better to be available once I had the time but will be keeping this installed as I think it would be hard for even payware to beat.

I am working on an update but it takes a lot of time and my friends currently have a lot going on with their personal lives.

This seems to give me no CDTs any more! Congratulations! Using live traffic this airport seems to be one of the busiest in the world!

best aairport ever

MSFS marketten satın aldım, teşekkür ederiz. FSHUD AI hava trafik kontrol kullanıyorum, MSFS genelinde LTFM olmadığı için bu limanı kullanamıyorum.
FSHUD'dan gelen cevap aşağıda. Yardımcı olabilir misiniz? BGL dosyalarını nerden bulur ve nereye yüklerim ?
As it was mentioned - scenery that purchased from MSFS market can't be used by third part applications because it's scenery BGL file is encrypted.
It's not only FSHud problem - but all third party add-ons.
I suggest you to find Airport data only BGL file so at least this airport would be usable for you.

Hello everyone!
Arkadaşlar pmdg 737-800 ile beraber ltfm eklentisini çalıştırdığım zaman uçak full throttle yapıp pistten çıkıyor. Sim taxi yolunda full throttle şeklinde başlıyor yani. Bunun gibi bişey başına gelen var mı?
I have pmdg 737-800 and also have ltfm airport. When I start Sim, it starts from taxiway with full throttle. it is impossible to control it. is there anyone who faced with this issue?
Argaeus 3 month(s) ago
PMDG satın almadım onun için böyle bir sorunu yaşamadım. Senaryo'da uçakları harekete geçirecek herhangi bir kodlama yoktur, ondan emin olabilirsiniz.

We have the file that is downloaded directly using the green download 1.0.1a button but in the text there are links to two files in Google Drive. What are these two extra files used for please?
Argaeus 3 month(s) ago
They are the imagery files that are most up to date (at the time of sharing).

An amazing scenery for free, thank you very much. What do we have to do to petition Asobo to fix the AI not taking off problem?
Argaeus 3 month(s) ago
I see real life traffic on approach and landing when I start my sim but I know nothing about AI not departing.

Belli ki birisi bu yorumunuz beğenmemiş, çok yazık! (Apparently someone did not agree with you, how unfortunate! 😊 )

Unfortunately this recent update still produces CTD's. I fly with a VA and LTFM is required for the current Tour. So I am stuffed until this is fixed.

I'm also getting CTDs with this scenery

If you use seafront shipping....... set traffic to 5% boats and ferries. Solved massive fps drops for me

Good day its not loading the gates and the airport itself does anyone know a fix?
Pist disinda hicbirsey yuklenmiyor nedenini bilen varmi?
Argaeus 8 month(s) ago
Sadece pist yükleniyorsa kurulum hatası neticesinde sizin AIRAC içindeki pist bilgileri yükleniyor bence. Kurulum hatası olmadığından eminseniz AIRAC klasörünü kaldırıp deneyin ve bu arada ROLLINGCACHE dosyanızı da silin, yeniden yaratılsın.

Awesome work. The default was so bad
Argaeus 8 month(s) ago
There is NO default LTFM, it is still not included in the base sim 😊
torskenn 8 month(s) ago
yup
PilotalexYYZ 8 month(s) ago
Default has a runway and trees lol... that's all default had. I cant belive they messed up such a big airport. Makes no sense.
Argaeus 8 month(s) ago
The 5 runways you see are being injected by Navigraph, else you will see nothing but hills and trees with some OSM buildings 😊
