John Venema Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 The historic capital of Scotland awaits. Orbx continues to develop exciting new locations within the world of flight simulation, with the imminent release of EGPH Edinburgh Airport for both Prepar3D V4 and X-Plane 11. In-House team Gaya Simulations has faithfully recreated the busy airport using the latest techniques and features to give you the most realistic experience possible. Using HD PBR textures to provide an unprecedented level of detail throughout - in particular on the airport apron. Explore the fully modelled fire stations, hotels and office buildings that surround the airport, or watch as the airport comes to life with animated traffic throughout. This version of the airport takes into account many of the airport’s recent changes, including the old Runway 12/30, which closed in March 2018. Note that our airport depicts all ground areas based on our licensed imagery from 2016-2017. We may look into an update to add new aircraft parking areas in the future. Throughout the scenery, enjoy impressive 3D custom modelling of the main terminal areas and beyond. Smaller details such as ground service equipment scatter the airport apron, which brings the airport to life.. Edinburgh’s iconic Air Traffic Control tower sits tall and mighty behind the main terminal building and has been recreated using highly detailed modelling and texturing. As the sun sets, be sure to see the ATC tower lit up with its powerful purple tones. As Scotland’s busiest airport, Edinburgh airport is an all-purpose airport with vast connections to major cities and destinations around the world. The airport’s official tagline of “where Scotland meets the world” certainly rings true as whether you want to fly a local carrier or travel further afield, the airport will keep you entertained for hours to come. Long-haulers can enjoy trips down into the Middle-East, whilst those who prefer those shorter flights can easily reach exciting European destinations. Taking full advantage of the features X-Plane 11 has to offer, you can enjoy the impressive night lighting illuminate beautifully on the apron and also a range of animated traffic inside and outside the airport perimeter. Firetrucks, fuel trucks, buses and more will make Edinburgh airport come to live. Full PBR material and high-resolution imagery also come as standard with Edinburgh airport, along with the easy installation process through Orbx Central. Designed to blend in with TrueEarth GB North, you can enjoy approaching the airport from any direction to enjoy approaches that lead you right over the cultural city. Be sure to spot historic landmarks such as Edinburgh Castle or Arthur's Seat as you arrive or depart. Excitingly, Edinburgh begins paving the way for simultaneous releases on both Prepar3D and X-Plane platforms. Whichever simulator you choose to fly into Edinburgh Airport, you will enjoy an immersive experience for Scotland’s busiest airport. Quick fun fact: Now the 6th biggest airport in the UK, Edinburgh airport started life as the most northerly British air defence base during the first World War. AT A GLANCE Realistic rendition of Edinburgh airport based on our licensed 2016-2017 imagery High-resolution photoscenery surrounding the airport Detailed and performance-friendly 3D modelling for the airport and beyond Superb ground textures with environmental wear-and-tear for that realistic effect Fire station, hotels and offices all fully modelled with impressive detailing Dynamic lighting across the whole airport bringing the airport at night to life Impressive rendering of the iconic ATC tower at Edinburgh complete with accurate lighting during night Edinburgh comes to live with a range of animated traffic including firetrucks, fuel tankers and more SAM jetways to make it easy to connect to your aircraft at aircraft stands Developed by GayaSimulations, known for their challenging Courchevel Airport EGPH Edinburgh Airport for X-Plane 11 is now in late beta testing and will be released soon, on the same day as the Prepar3Dv4 version.

Dazzleruk Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Great news. Been waiting patiently for this. Will it have the curved runway as a feature? As you can see it is quite subtle but present. Would love to see EGGP Liverpool John Lennon airport in the future! Keep up the great work guys. Awesome.

Caluma65 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 This looks absolutely superb!! Some of these could quite easily be real photographs!! If Orbx were to tackle Glasgow Airport [EGPF] as well at some point, then I would be one Happy Scotsman!! Bravo Orbx!! Cheers, Calum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, but for me, I’m sticking with OrbX only scenery mainly for compatibility reasons with their TE addons. Edited October 21, 2019 by orbmoke Added word.

Yorkshire Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Looks absolutely brilliant - a must buy from me as soon as released. I regularly fly in & from Edinburgh for the Scottish franchise of a VA I fly for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with competition, makes everyone have to up their game to be the "go to" one for that airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orbx seem to be the best quality so far. I think I have the one you a referring to from another developer, but it doesn't come close to Orbx quality.
