Popular Post Marcus Nyberg Posted June 18, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 18, 2022 Good day everyone, Just wanted to share a brief update on my Swedish airports series and what I've been up to lately. Worth mentioning these are MSFS2020 updates & things might change. First of there is a patch coming for ESMS Malmö Airport (or Sturup as most of us still refers to) which will contain: - Functional moving jetways - Functional & correct VDGS units (not in the current screenshots) - Some visual updates on the terminal - Removed statics at terminal & cargo area - Animated airside traffic - Some minor bug fixes Then we got a patch for ESSB Stockholm-Bromma airport which contains: - Interiors for departure & arrival halls - Interiors added for the old tower, which is still functional in real life as back-up if the new tower would go offline for whatever reason. - Animated airside traffic - Included Frölunda airfield so you got somewhere to fly close enough when you've haven't got too much time And some of Frölunda airfield: Also wanted to share some first previous from ESSA Stockholm-Arlanda, still just renders but we are slowly getting there. No ETA on this yet, but this year at least is the plan. If you are interested in keeping an eye on this project you are welcome to follow the progress on my Facebook page "The Arlanda Journal" where I try to post updates every now and then and is also a great place if you want to help out in any way with information, photos etc to support the project. You find it here: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100077462715941 Thanks to new references I will also soon start on a patch for ESGG Gothenburg-Landvetter which will include: - The new terminal pier open up, - New high-res terrain data added for the airport - Interiors for the new terminal pier - The hotel (being constructed in current release) will be included as it has finished now - Animated airside traffic - Semi-functional moving jetways (all depends on what we can do about the N-jetways, the T-jetways are working ok now) - Functional & correct VDGS units. - Removed statics in terminal & cargo area A final teaser is that I'm also porting over ESKS Scandinavian Mountains Airport and ESNQ Kiruna Airport, which will be pretty much straight ports from our P3D scenery with just some additional PBR where needed. These will be included for free in one of the patches for either ESMS or ESGG. 33 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugo_J Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Thanks for the update ! Quick question : will the VDGS be an Orbx home-made system, or will it be the Aerosoft's/Noolaero's one ? Really looking forward those update and ESSA, renders looks amazing so far! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the ESMS & ESGG update I'm using the Nool-system. Very fond of it and how much accuracy that is added to each VDGS-type. The developer is a super enthusiastic guy and I'm keen to stick to that system. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gordonhutchison Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Can the static models be optional? Not all of us fly tubeliners and cry that static models are taking up their favourite parking spot at an airport. I don't want the performance hit of running a full AI traffic addon, and without statics the airport looks so barren. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't have the option for people that buy at Marketplace so it will only be at the Orbx store in that case. I've got tons of people wanting me to remove the statics and you must be the first one asking for us to keep them, I'll have a look and see how to proceed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyer2022 Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 (edited) Those updates sound great! I only got a few questsions. 1. Will the new VDGS unit work with the Marketplace versions of ESMS and ESGG? 2. Probably sounds silly, but is it possible to add a room at the Clarion Arlanda hotel to watch the planes from it? I know you already planning the modelled interior, but I think regardless this sounds interesting. 3. Is it possible to change the name of ESMS to "Malmö Airport" instead of the current one "Sturup Airport" that was changed all the way back in 2007. I know that MSFS ported the data right from FSX and FS2004 and many airport names are extremely dated. Edited June 18, 2022 by Flyer2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got tons of people wanting me to remove the statics and you must be the first one asking for us to keep them, I'll have a look and see how to proceed Hi Marcus, I am with Gordon on statics. I have expressed my concern most recently with KCRW, and saw the static option in KBUR to be a good solution. This is my comment on KCRW. "The passenger side is empty. What I hope to see is something like Tweed, New Haven, as a model. This is a contentious point, those who like the visual depth that a static airliner with airside equipment brings, and those who want the airside clear for ai and 3rd party traffic. I hope that Orbx can satisfy both option." The static aircraft that featured in Orbx airports bring great value to the sim. I think there is an opportunity to satisfy both communities.

Being Noolaero's VDGS, It should be. Flightbeam & Scenic Route managed to make NoolAero's VDGS work with MSMarketplace user of NZAA & LJLJ, so I'm 99% sure it will work too. You'll just have to download one/two dependencies and place it into the community folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Hi Marcus, just a followup to my previous comments on static aircraft. I see in your Stockholm Arlanda Facebook entries that an option for static aircraft is to be part of the package, so the solution is there. The inclusion of ESKS and ESNQ is much appreciated. Linking them to a patch that removes static aircraft ie Malmo or Gothenburg is an awkward choice for me. One of my options, is to not upgrade an existing airport that has statics removed, but then do I miss inclusions. Choices! Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wain71 Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 wow Marcus you have been busy, some fantastically detailed shots you have posted there, not just the airports but also the airside vehicles.....really looking forward to seeing these progress more... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were not gonna be completely removed anyway, it was just around terminal area. For ESMS that would mean that 80% of the statics are still present. I will keep it as an option. This option will only be available if purchased at the Orbx store as Marketplace doesn't support configuration tools. Worth noting we have a statics option for ESSB already for those that have missed that. 22 hours ago, Hugo_J said: Being Noolaero's VDGS, It should be.

For the Orbx store one it will install the module automatically, not sure if you will need to download it yourself if bought on Marketplace, not sure how the backend stuff works.

For the Orbx store one the module will install automatically, not sure if the customer needs to download the module separatly if bought on Marketplace. Need to talk to the backend guys. As we are using T-jetways they are a bit more complex for guidance and we need a separate module for that to work, which I don't think was the case with the Flightbeam version. But short answer: yes it will work for marketplace. The statics option will only be available for Orbx store versions though. 2. Haha, actually thought about something similar but instead to add the restaurant on one of the top floors. Would be fun to have, but fearing this project will never complete if I start adding these kind of things. But I will keep thinking about it and we'll see. 3. Personally I enjoy the Sturup name, but it's inaccurate of course. I thought it already was Malmö Airport, but can check if we made a miss somewhere, would assume MSFS2020 would read our project and change name if neccesary. Anyway, yes we will change that if we can change that. 1 minute ago, wain71 said: wow Marcus you have been busy, some fantastically detailed shots you have posted there, not just the airports but also the airside vehicles.....really looking forward to seeing these progress more...

CptHenne93 Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 @Marcus NybergLooking fantastic and I've just picked up Bromma and Gotheburg on Orbx Central. One question: I've recently flown in Spain a lot and noticed the severe lack of high-quality airport add-ons in that region. Are you planning on bringing over your beautiful Bilbao scenery? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gstove Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 I think the marketplace should include the static aircraft, on the pc you can have add ons lie, AIG traffic or aerosoft’s simple traffic but the marketplace has none of these so if you’re on the Xbox (and only limited to marketplace products) you end up with empty unrealistic soulless airports as the AI traffic looks so terrible in fake liveries.
