Chubu Centrair International Airport (ICAO: RJGG, IATA: NGO) is situated on an artificial island in the Ise Bay within Aichi Prefecture. The airport is 22 miles (35 km) south of Nagoya in central Japan.
Chubu Centrair was officially opened on February 17, 2005 and is Japan's third off-shore airport, after Nagasaki and Kansai International airports and is also the second airport built in Japan on a man-made island.
The airport represents the three main prefectures of Central Japan, Aichi, Gifu and Mie; including six other neighbouring prefectures, it thus services 22 million people in total.
In 2010, Chubu Centrair saw 9,271,382 passenger transits, had 84,684 aircraft arrivals and departures and catered for 161,740 freight ops, making it the 8th busiest airport in Japan.
Simulator set-up
Frame rates from scenery complexity and autogen settings were averaged at 35fps and above. This includes moving sliders 100% to the right.
Medium settings yielded much higher frames, but our recommendation is Dense to Very Dense for exceptional rates.
Since the scenery is 15cm/pixel photoreal, it is highly recommended that Mesh Resolution be set at 1 metre in the FSX Display Settings (slider 100% to the right) and mesh complexity set at 100%.
Texture Resolution should also be set at 30cm and above (or slider 100% to the right).
Recommended AI Traffic settings
There is AI boat traffic within the island airport area. To maintain exceptional FPS levels, it is recommended that leisure boats be set at 20% or less.
AI road traffic should be set at 40% or less.
The airport scenery is compatible with third party payware and/or freeware AI engines - the recommended setting for best performance is 60% or less.
