Ben Gurion - Reversed hebrew

[Merlins51]

Very minor, albeit amusing bug.

On the roof of Terminal 1 at Ben Gurion there is some hebrew that is meant to say שדה תאופה, meaning "air port" (transliteration, sde teufah).  Instead of that, the text is reversed. 

So it actually says  הפואת הדש , the equivalent of it reading "trop ria".

Also, there is an actual port represented at Tel Aviv Port.  That area is actually a shopping and entertainment district.  The port itself hasn't existed since 1965.

Ooooo! Cool, maybe there aiming for multiple time periods!

Ha!  If only.  If we were going for an earlier time period we'd have Sde Dov airport, just north of the port area, which was demolished in 2020.

nullThe reversed text can be seen in this image below.   Almost certainly comes from Hebrew being written right to left, instead of left to right.

This image is looking from air-side.  At the passenger entrance to the terminal is a sign that says Terminal 1 (in both English and Hebrew), replicated very nicely in the sim, that's written perfectly.

Really a very nice rendering of Ben Gurion airport by the developers, and a lovely surprise.

I wonder if that's an avoiding copyright issue like the "Halton" Hotel (or something similar) in Sinai.

I wouldn't think so. Air port would be a generic term I would think. If it was an actual trademark/registered name that could be another story.

Fair point, I should have re-read that to see exactly what the wrong word was.

Then again, I could be wrong. After all, "apple" is a common word too, but yet it's trademarked. 

I didn't know about the Halton - so thanks for sharing. In the last 24hrs I've learned about that and the "Miracle" fast food takeaway. So it could be intentional. It'd be nice to know if this was an accidental flip of a texture file, or intentional. 

Do the Urga media folk post in here and confirm from time to time, or is it left for us to guess, and create conjectures? (If the latter, I could come up with some great conspiracy theories given enough time).
