Pyreegue has earlier this week introduced a new version of his scenery covering Edinburgh Airport (EGPH) in the Microsoft Flight Simulator. Bringing it to v1.1.0, the update brings a lot of fixes and new features. Generally speaking, it is a major update to the scenery.
Initially released back in July earlier this year, Edinburgh Airport (EGPH) is the main international airport serving the capital of Scotland, Edinburgh. It is also the sixth-busiest airport in the United Kingdom by passengers with annually almost 15 million of them visiting the airport. The airport sees traffic from all around the world.
The update features fixed glitches in the fencing area, replaced textures for the cargo apron to better represent the real area, a new Spitfire memorial due to a major accuracy problem with the previous model, or corrected labelings for stands 4A and 4.
Further, more static cars were added to the parking lots around the air traffic control tower to make the scenery feel more vibrant. Static double-decker busses were also added in front of the terminal entrance, including some tourist busses further down the parking lot.
Glass rain effects were also added to the terminal windows. As usual, the complete changelog can be found below.
If you want to purchase the scenery, you can do so through the Orbx website or Orbx Central application for €18.70 with taxes excluded. The update installation should be prompted automatically once you launch the Orbx Central app.
Changelog
