1.The Original

The airfield of Zell am See (ICAO: LOWZ) is an Austrian airfield in the municipal area of the town of Zell am See. On this airport, aircraft up to a maximum of 5.7 tons of total weight are allowed. At the airport, the rescue helicopter Alpin Heli 6 of the operator ÖAMTC / SHS is stationed.

In the years 1997 to 2002, the airport has been significantly redesigned and relocated total in southern direction: In 1997, the new, relocated to the south and realigned the runway 08/26 was opened, the old runway was closed. It is now partly used as a parking lot. In September 2002, the offset also south new airport building was opened along with the new air traffic areas. 2008 Expansion of the airport has been suggested on a airport for machines with up to 45 seats. But the proposal was rejected.

At the airport, a gliding school and several gliding clubs are located. In addition to the asphalt runway, there is a separate parallel glider airstrip (grass runway). The airfield of Zell am See is both entry point for the putative Pinzgauer walk-haul flight area in Oberpinzgau as well as for "Leewellenflüge" on the main Alpine ridge.

5.Recommended settings

To visualize all light effects, HDR should be activated. The higher the settings for "texture resolution" and "airport detail" the better the quality of the scenery but the more affect on the FPS ratio.

6.Required software

X-Plane® Version 11.10+, 10.25+ oder 9.7

7.Comments for the X-Plane 9 version

Unfortunately some functions of the scenery must be disabled for X-Plane 9 and therefore it will not look like on the pictures which where taken with X-Plane 10.25.
