Airpower airshow scenery - LOXZ Austria

[DennyA]

No time to take custom screenshots right now, but knowing the crowd here, I highly recommend heading immediately to Flightsim.to and downloading the Airpower airshow add-on for the Austrian LOXZ scenery. It's a pretty spectacular airshow setup with static displays, display teams, huge crowds, and more, on an already impressive airbase scenery. (Which must be downloaded as well.)

And despite all the stuff and a zillion 2D people (who don't look 2D from inside your plane), I still get a good frame rate flying displays over them.

I'd certainly expect a phenomal huge crowd like this if the "Cobain Hendrix Jackson Joplin Morrison Watts Winehouse Experience" would come down from the heavens above for a concert at the "Zeltweg Fliegerhorst Hinterstoisser Festival of Rock Legends" but just for an air display show ??..... I doubt it... Hehe

Thanks anyway, Denny !

Actually, I can find lots of aerial shots of airshows that crowded... I was at the USAF 50th at Nellis way back when and it was like that.

So i stand corrected ! I should've read up about the Zeltweg Airpower airshow first... It is indeed true that the official 'beschucherzahl' reached 300.000 but that is counted over the weekend. 150K during the top day. A formidable crowd of visitors nontheless. I have enjoyed countless airshows over the years here in Europe, like in the Netherlands, UK, Germany, Belgium ( favourite Duxford, Old Warden, Sanicole ) and never have i ever been confronted with such extraordinairy huge crowds as seen here in the LOXZ airshow screenshot ( must say nore like in your second crowd photo. Wow! )

A typical airshow day at Duxford (when it's not raining...) :

This is about what i am used to when it comes to airshow crowd.

In any case, if the dev of the Zeltweg Airpower scenery would do away with half of the crowd it would look much more realistic. Still IMHO of course.
