LHSimulations has been recreating Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport across multiple generations of flight simulators since 2013.

Today’s Microsoft Flight Simulator rendition builds on more than a decade of accumulated research, local knowledge, customer feedback and continuous refinement. Developed in Hungary, the scenery has evolved alongside the real airport and has been repeatedly expanded, rebuilt and optimized as new terminals, aprons, buildings and operational areas have appeared.

Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport is Hungary’s main international gateway, serving airline, cargo, charter and general aviation traffic from across Europe and beyond.

Our focus has always been on recreating the complete airport experience, with particular attention given to the areas and details pilots encounter during approach, landing, taxi, parking and departure. Accurate taxiways, aprons, parking stands, stop lines, signage, ground markings and airfield lighting provide a convincing and practical environment for everyday flying and online operations.

The scenery includes the passenger terminal complex, SkyCourt, Pier 1, the iconic control tower, Cargo City, the expanded cargo and general aviation aprons, Aeroplex maintenance facilities, HungaroControl facilities, airport service areas, Aeropark and numerous landmarks around the airport.

Custom runways, taxiways and apron surfaces feature detailed ground textures and PBR materials. Stand markings, aircraft-specific stop lines, pedestrian walkways, safety markings, parking boards and other airside details help reproduce the operational character of the airport.

Runway and taxiway lighting has been extensively developed and refined, including runway guard lights, hold-short lighting, no-entry bars, intermediate taxiway lights and taxiway centreline lights positioned according to official ground charts. Apron lighting and building illumination have also been reworked to create a convincing night environment without excessive glare.

The airport layout is regularly updated to follow changes at the real location. Previous free updates have introduced new and enlarged aprons, revised parking positions, updated taxiway designations, new ground markings, corrected start and hold-short points, refined navigation aids and newly constructed airport buildings.

Performance has been a central part of the development process. The scenery uses a carefully structured LOD system created according to strict Microsoft Flight Simulator platform guidelines. Optimized geometry, materials, light sources and collision models help reduce unnecessary rendering load while preserving detail where it matters most.

This balanced approach is designed to provide smooth and reliable performance across PC, Xbox and PlayStation 5, without sacrificing the airport details that remain visible and relevant during normal flight operations.
