Aimee Sanjari Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 EGNX East Midlands Airport is an international airport in the East Midlands of England, close to Castle Donington, Leicestershire, between Loughborough, Derby, and Nottingham with Leicester 20 miles to the south. The airfield was originally built as a Royal Air Force station known as RAF Castle Donington in 1943, before being redeveloped as a civilian airport in 1965. EGNX for X-Plane 11 is a stunning addition to any UK scenery collection. Fully integrated with TrueEarth GB South, this PBR rendition of East Midlands Airport features high resolution buildings, a fleet of static aircraft, custom modeled cars and trucks, and HDR night lighting. We have included the Royal Air Force museum and have even programmed in an active firetruck going to and from the station as well as a race around the local racing track every 20 minutes between 08:00 - 22:00! Features: An immersive rendition of EGNX East Midlands airport including the race track west to the airport and additional POIs Accurate ground service cars using in the airport- buses (both airport and public shuttles), fire fighters, gpu and more. 2k high regulation buildings Full PBR integration with ortho (mainly asphalt), buildings, vehicles, ground texture, etc Interior modelling on the tower and the terminal. In addition, the tower and the terminals are reflective and transparent Realistic static aircraft with the following liveries: DHL, Flybe, Thomas Cook, Jet2 and Ryanair. Animated firefighter truck will go from the station to the practice area every 20min. There is also a race on the racing track every 20 min (both are active from 08:00-22:00). The airport shuttles (skyline buses) also drive along the airport area. Stunning custom HDR night lighting Dense 3D grass with minimum FPS impact incredibly detailed special effects: Wind turbines and the smoke coming out of chimneys react to the wind speed and direction Ortho of 25cm/pix which blend smoothly and seamlessly with TrueEarth GB South Royal Air Force museum is included - this is located in the north-east part of the runway Custom ground poly Unique trucks, cars and other vehicles are present in the airport EGNX East Midlands Airport will soon be available to purchase from OrbxDirect for AUD $32.95 (approx. USD $22.95/ €20.50/ £18.20) Please note that you will require Orbx Libraries updated and installed to the latest version. Please also note that for the best experience, we recommend using EGNX in conjunction with TrueEarth GB South. The scenery will work without it, however some users may experience the following: Missing or misplaced forests Missing or misplaced buildings surrounding the airport Photoreal blending And now for the best part - the screenshots, courtesy of Emmsie: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerTigerM Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Another stunning set of images from Iain. I can see the lighting & shadow subtleties that PBR is allowing, for example, on the sides of The Royal Mail trucks in shot 26. If I am asking this in the wrong section, please move it to where it is appropriate. - Is there any work going on to convert any of the many Orbx P3D airfields in Washington State to XP11, to fit in with XP11 Washington State? I enjoy flying in the UK, but at times prefer the wilderness opportunities in WS, & hope Orbx will be servicing that area with XP11 add on airfields.

EvidencePlz Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 2 hours ago, John Venema said: Yes the P3D version is a week away from a full alpha build and looking quite nice already. Mr Venema, thanks for the answer and a belated happy birthday. For me it's a day one buy for EGLC and this one (EGLX) the very day they are released for P3D v4.4/5. It's not possible for me to buy the same airport/s for both XP and P3D, nor do I have enough SSD space for XP trueearth products required for seamless integration and nor do I care about ultra photorealistic scenery and graphics and nor are they needed for anything useful other than eyecandy/entertainment in my opinion. I as a customer would really appreciate it if your staff mentioned in their new product announcement/preview posts that X or Y airport/scenery would also come to P3D (my current platform of choice) at some point in future. I believe that doing so would only reduce confusion for both your regular and new customers imo. Please do not think I'm making a demand or criticising someone. I'm just making a humble request/suggestion that I pray and hope you would take into your consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F737MAX Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Well EGNX has just been added to my wishlist. A good cargo airport with pax ops and Donnington race circuit modelled to boot - very nice! Since we're requesting other UK airports on this thread, how about EGNT Newcastle? Almost a perfect size for an international airport for Orbx to take on. (I would love to request EGCC, but that's in the middle of a big renovation of Terminal 2). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malindley Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Fantastic to see EGNX getting the Orbx treatment, very happy as it's my 'local'. Aimee, it's worth pointing out the museum is not a Royal Air Force Museum. It is a private museum called 'East Midlands Aeropark' and is run by volunteers if I recall correctly. http://eastmidlandsaeropark.org/ Regards Mark.

Aimee, it's worth pointing out the museum is not a Royal Air Force Museum. It is a private museum called 'East Midlands Aeropark' and is run by volunteers if I recall correctly. http://eastmidlandsaeropark.org/ Regards Mark. I was going to say the same. Also, it's located in the north-west corner of the airfield toward Donington race track, not the north-east. But I think people will have no trouble finding it! EGNX is my local airport, I'm happy to see it coming to XP to go with TE South The XP gateway version is pretty good anyway, but this will be quite something else. Time to look at PC upgrades. I don't have many payware airports for a reason... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toby_Da_Wolfie Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 OMG, this is so awesome. Judging from the screenshots this is a pretty accurate representation of EMA. Though as said above, the museum is not called The Royal Air Force Museum, but East Midlands Aeropark. Another thing to add is that along with the respective airlines mentioned, TUI Airways also operate from the airport. Atm they have 2-3 Boeing 737-800's and one Boeing 787-8 on some other days. I also should mention that UPS, FedEx, and Aerologic also operate from the airport too. If these changes could be implemented, I think that it would further add to an already immersive product. I'm definitely looking forward to this, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvidencePlz Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 any news/update on the p3d version? Senor John Venema said on June 20 that a full alpha build would be available the following week. Recently picked up all of Bill Womack's creations (except Cushman Meadows) and then some more (LIEO Olbia and LDPL Pula airport). Pula is so good-looking and comes with two more airports as a bonus. LIEO is so incredibly and breathtakingly beautiful I'm just taking screenshots and setting 'em up as wallpaper. But I want more juice and beauty for my sim.
