Conveniently located just west of downtown Columbia, KCAE serves as the gateway to South Carolina’s capital region. Known for its modern facilities, easy access, and friendly operations, the airport provides a seamless experience for both passengers and pilots. Its balanced mix of commercial airlines, cargo operations, and private aviation makes it a vital hub for the southeastern United States.
Fly2High proudly presents the most detailed and accurate version of Columbia Metropolitan Airport yet for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. Built using high-resolution data, real-world references, and on-site materials, this handcrafted scenery brings every aspect of KCAE to life with remarkable realism.
From precisely painted taxiway markings to carefully modeled interiors and realistic ground environments, every element has been designed to recreate the true atmosphere of Columbia’s airport.
Key Features:
Accurate, data-driven recreation – Built using official airport data and real-world references for the most authentic KCAE experience
High-quality textures and detailed 3D models – Every building, gate, and detail crafted with care
Fully modeled terminal interior – Including the current terminal layout and realistic lighting
This scenery features lots of beautiful modelling for the buildings and their textures. However, my rating is dragged down significantly by the aerial imagery used here, because for some reason it matches neither reality nor the surrounding Asobo imagery with its colour tones. Many parts show magenta-shaded areas, obviously no colour correction has been done here. Also, not as bad but still significant, many parts feature golden-brown terrain, not matching the surrounding landscape textures.
I hope that Fly2 will update this in the near future, along with their low-res runway markings, which are featured across their airports.
It will be a solid scenery with the above mentioned issues fixed.
