Ed Correia Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 First announced at Cosford in late 2019 and after some sneak previews, EGNT Newcastle International Airport for P3Dv4+ is almost here. Newcastle International Airport is located north of the university city of Newcastle Upon Tyne in the North East of England. Once an industrial superpower of the shipbuilding era Newcastle has now transformed into a buzzing cultural hub. Over 5 million visitors a year pass through the doors from leisure routes operated by narrow-body jets to Las Palmas & Santorini and long-haul visits to Dubai in a 777-300ER. This is the perfect airport for those wanting something a bit more regional, but with an international appeal. The 7,600ft runway provides quite the challenge when operating those heavier aircraft, especially during the typical rainy weather of the north of England. Our UK team based in Havant have taken care and attention when developing Newcastle International Airport and it shows. With high-quality texture work throughout and plenty of features to enjoy, Newcastle is a great addition to the UK set of airports. Features Detailed and stunning PBR rendition of Newcastle International Airport Ultra-high quality texture work throughout Stunning 3D modelling 30cm per pixel photoreal with seasons Great challenging runway for heavy jets Highly detailed PBR Ground Service Equipment SODE animated jetways & VGDS support Fully compatible with TrueEarth Great Britain Central and EU England Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

makapala Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 can almost see my house from the tower and the runway is the about shortest that Emirates fly into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makapala Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Here's Newcastle IRL last Saturday from one of the local school Cherokees: that runway is SHORT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BernieFlyer Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 It is not so short. Many airports have runways used for shorter flights (which I mean not 14 or 15 hours) with shorter runways in use than 2,300 metres. Yes, fully loaded and fueled A380s or B787s would not like it but most European traffic could do it easily and even USA etc. with lower weight wide bodied aircraft. The Cherokee could land and takeoff 3 times at least! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makapala Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 oh yes - i mean for an emirates 777 it's short. Clearly if you want to test yourself on a tight runway, go to Eshott, 20 miles to the North or Currock Hill across the Tyne (both are UK2000 VFR North or freeware elsewhere) Saying that, I've landed an empty a380 using ils on the sim at newcastle. the only problem is there isnt really enough room to taxi to the terminal The right wing sort of clips the boundary fence and you can't make that corning without using the grass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So @Ed Correia can you please let the developers know they need to look at the runway lights: PAPI for RWY07 should be located on the RH side I see 2 green threshold light bars, of course there should only be 1 at the displaced threshold I can see one bar of red lights shortly before the concrete starts, spanning for the whole width of the runway, laying on top of the approach lighting. That bar of red lights should not be there I see two sets of red lights at the end of the runway. There should only be one bar for REILs placed at the very end of the runway. No red wing bars. RWY centreline lights should not stop at the displaced threshold of the opposite runway 25. They should continue until the beginning of the stopway, which is only 15m long. For reference: https://www.aurora.nats.co.uk/htmlAIP/Publications/2020-06-18-AIRAC/html/eAIP/EG-AD-2.EGNT-en-GB.html#EGNT-AD-2.14 Otherwise it looks very good indeed, happy to know that it will be made compatible with EU England and not just TrueEarth!

Rlambert93 Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Excited page open hitting refresh waiting now for it. Looks really nice about time we had a up to date Ncl to fly into and from great job has the metro line been modelled in it. Can’t wait to get exploring and have a good walk around it.

Doubled-up lights explain a lot, but that would mean the PAPI lights on the RH side would still have been missing, unless of course those were suppressed due to that install error.
