The original

Split Airport (IATA: SPU, ICAO: LDSP; Croatian: Zračna luka Split), also known as Split-Kaštela is the airport serving the city of Split, Croatia. It is located 24 km (15 mi) from Split, on the west side of Kaštela Bay, in the town of Kaštela, and extending into the adjacent town of Trogir.
The Airport follows Zagreb Airport in 2014 as the second busiest airport in Croatia handling 1,752,657 passengers that year. It is an important hub for Croatia Airlines offering flights to European cities, such as Athens, Frankfurt, London, Paris, Rome and many others.
plit first commercial route was opened in 1931 by the Yugoslav airline Aeroput which linked Zagreb with Belgrade trough Rijeka, Split and Sarajevo, and maintained this route until the start of the Second World War.
The current airport was opened on 25 November 1966. The apron had dimensions of only 200 x 112m and 6 parking positions with a planned capacity of 150,000 passengers. In 1968 passenger numbers stood already at 150,737, and in 1969 at 235,000. In 1967 the apron was extended for the first time to accommodate 10 aircraft. A new larger terminal building was built and opened in 1979 to accommodate traffic for a major sporting event (the 8th Mediterranean Games) held in Split in September, when also another extension to the apron was built. The largest pre-war passenger numbers were achieved in 1987, totalling 1,151,580 passengers and 7,873 landings.
In 1991 the passenger figures dropped almost to zero, as the war in the former Yugoslavia broke out. In the years that followed, most of the traffic were NATO and UN cargo planes, such as the C-5 Galaxy, MD-11, Boeing 747 and C-130 Hercules. After 1995 the civilian traffic figures began rising again, and finally in 2007 surpassed the 1987 record.

In 2005 the terminal got a major facelift, adding one more gate, the glass facade, as well as the steel/fabric palms illuminated by multi­colour LEDs. The busiest time in the airport is during the summer season, as the city of Split is a major tourist destination and a very important transportation hub. Saturdays are the busiest days of the week, with more than 200 airplane operations and 25,000 passengers.

2K textures

If you want to use the 2K textures we strongly advise you to use the included tool.
If you want to complete this procedure manually, you need to copy all textures from the folder FSX\aerosoft\Split X\Texture\HiRes into the folder above named “Texture” and overwrite all data from this folder. You then have to alter the entry in the fsx.cfg “TEXTURE_MAX_LOAD=1024” under [Graphics] to TEXTURE_MAX_LOAD=2048.
You can find the fsx.cfg in the following folder. C:\Users\“Username“\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX
Note: If you change any settings in FSX, the value will revert back to 1024 by the FSX.
