Ed Correia Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Coming in very soon from our in-house development team in the UK is EGPN Dundee Airport for P3Dv4. As Scotland’s Culture Capital, there are a lot of reasons to visit Dundee. Built originally on the back of the Firth of Tay, Dundee quickly became an important airport in Scotland due to its close connections to the famous golf courses such as St Andrews, Gleneagles and Carnoustie. With Dundee Airport for Prepar3D being south facing over the River Tay, you can expect stunning views across the glorious waterfront and scenic natural landscaping around the airport. With the water dominating one side of your view on approach, the glistening sun makes for incredible eye-candy in the scenic surroundings. The advanced water masking techniques mean the imagery and water blend in seamlessly. Ultra-detailed ground imagery brings the airport to live and the incredible PBR buildings add new levels of immersion. The airport is frequented by Loganair daily with their Saab S340 to London and is used by the RAF to train cadets in light aircraft. Furthermore, Dundee Airport also serves as an important Amazon warehouse, providing an ideal route for the cargo carriers amongst you. Whether you’re taking flight on a scheduled commercial route, practising your light aircraft skills or taking the world’s most famous golfers to the championship courses, Dundee will make an excellent addition to your diverse collection of Scottish airports from Orbx. The X-Plane 11 version of the airport is in late stages of development and will release later. EGPN will retail for $32.95 AUD (Approx. US$21.68 | €19,77 | £16.80). Enjoy the screenshots!

Sniper31 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Looks to be a very interesting airport with lots of charm. Looking forward to see more updates on this airport scenery! That runway does indeed have a great view of the water Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caluma65 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Wow - great work!! I really wish Glasgow Airport (EGPF) would get this level of detail one of these days. Cheers, Calum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mburkhard Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Looking good so far! One thing though for night lighting: Please don't model tower windows like this, with lights as bright as a thousand suns. Simply ask yourselves this question: How would the tower controllers be able to see ANYthing when trying to look out of these windows when it's dark outside? Exactly, they wouldn't see a thing. Real tower windows show only very small amounts of light inside the room. And if that is too much of a hassle for you to do, simply remove the tower windows night lighting completely. It would be much more realistic than what you have now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripcord Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Love this - great choice. Believe they run an aviation training school there, do they not? Looking forward to this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerTigerM Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Nicely done boutique airfield. Interesting approaches. I am showing my ignorance, but what is the structure in the 6th shot from the bottom that looks like an over sized ageing air bed? TTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen similar style bladders at forward air refueling points (FARP's) and forward operating bases (FOB's) during my military service.

TigerTigerM Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Thanks S31. I was re-reading the introductory notes & this caught my eye: "Furthermore, Dundee Airport also serves as an important Amazon warehouse, providing an ideal route for the cargo carriers amongst you." The runway is about 4,593' long which will limit the size of what can land there. I am curious as to which aircraft Amazon are using for their freighting into Dundee.

nigelgrant Posted February 28, 2020 Share Posted February 28, 2020 Great news, this was my home town. The house I was born in and brought up is about a block outside the frame edge of Picture /9! I had a magnificent view right up the Firth of Tay from my bedroom window, with the hills of Fife in the distance. I left there in 1957 to emigrate to Vancouver where I have an extensive library of sceneries in the local region. I look forward to Dundee`s release.

Mikael Cedergren Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Does anyone know how Amazon use Dundee Airport and with what type of cargo Aircraft if any?. Looking at Google maps it seem the main warehouse is not actually located directly on the Airport grounds with no connecting taxiways or aircraft parkings nearby. Just curious to know if its time to start painting some AI aircraft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nosferatu Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I suspect things are waiting until XP 11.50 is stable. Hopefully, after that, there will be a series of ports for regions like TE NC and new stuff like Dundee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
