Popular Post Orbx Posted May 3, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 3, 2023 Orbx has been working on a significant upgrade to EGLC London City Airport for Microsoft Flight Simulator for quite some time, and we can't wait to share it with you soon! EGLC v2 reflects the airport expansion, with its parallel taxiway, new parking stands and the remote digital control tower. Rebuilt models with ATC tower interiors, new custom groundpoly, and much more! Here are just a few of the benefits you can expect from EGLC London City Airport: Seamless integration with our Landmarks London Product: Take advantage of the stunningly realistic scenery of London's most iconic landmarks for those iconic approaches! Completely rebuilt airport: We've reworked every detail of EGLC, including new textures and additional enhancements to all materials. A small upgrade fee of approximately USD $5.00 (excluding taxes) for a completely rebuilt airport for existing customers of EGLC for Microsoft Flight Simulator. We are looking to replicate this upgrade offer on the Microsoft Marketplace utilizing their "bundle" feature. Be on the lookout, as v2 will be available soon! Note that these screenshots feature AI traffic from AIG and FSLTL. 10 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boetie Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 US$5.00 = Bargain. Looks fantastic 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcannon83 Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 (edited) Whilst I am disappointed by the need to charge for the upgrade. Its a little easier to accept when its around a third of the price of the other one due out tomorrow. That being said, the airport does look great. Can't wait to break another Bae146 on it. From the screenshots, are all scenery buildings part of the airport addon, or are the buildings on the north side of the marina part of the London Landmarks pack?

MasonDominique Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Hi Personnaly, from these shots, i do not see any improvement on inside modeling. It's a small airport, one terminal, not jetways. The least to do on such an upgrade is too improve inside modeling that gives the feeling of life in the airport. Olivier 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stiletto2 Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 (edited) The detailed modeling of the outside of the airport, as seen in the pics, is very impressive. For example, I compared the "remote digital air traffic control tower" to pics of the real life version and find that the artists attention to detail is excellent. I can't wait to get this update!

wain71 Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 nice one, sounds a fair price to, a cup of coffee at most... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyWsays Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 I have the original product. I never fly there as it is within a post apocalyptic photogrammetry city. For these reasons I see little point in paying extra. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlosqr Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Wow this looks amazing. I hope the look of the windows ( inside) looks better too Currently only a raw of chairs forced to fit is displayed Thanks a lot! Cheers Carlos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfko Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Seems inside modelling has become more important than a perfectly modelled airside. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mburkhard Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Question: The area immediately east of the runway, right across the strip of water beneath the approach lights; In the original scenery we could see a rather large parking area / chunk yard filled with cars, containers, boats and rubbish, and it was all flat. So landing on RWY27 always felt a bit immersion destroying due to one flying low over this vast area of flat objects being in plain sight. Have you perhaps been able to clean it up a bit or add a 3D model here and there? Not expecting super detailed things of course, but just a bit of 3D (stock objects) here and there would make the approach look so much more realistic.

wain71 Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 I would assume the next update might be along the lines of telling us it's available....sure it won't be long...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happytraveller Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 I am sure that there are going to be some people who will object to paying for an upgrade. I look at it in the same way that I look at buying an upgraded computer or upgraded car. And I know that nobody likes to work for free, so I will be happy to pay for an upgrade.

Jerry In this case it's not an upgrade, it's new build. If you have the original it will continue to be what you paid for. If you want to have the new layout and graphics, you can choose to get it or not. Orbx airports have always been released as point in time products, some developers choose to update or upgrade. But this is a new build that was a result of a major change to the airport, and as I understand it, because of the unique nature of the location, it required a fresh start. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Mac Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Just bought it for €5.50 and it looks stunning. At that price it’s great value. You have to uninstall Version 1 and then it allows you download and install. €5.50 will not buy you two cups of coffee in Dublin so a bargain for sure!

Er!k Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Guys, I sincerely hope you will add the default ground services, although not entirely realistic at this airport. People who don't like it can easily disable them via the MSFS menu. Also please add a bonus stand for the A320neo. A lot of people use it to fly there, although not allowed IRL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot82 Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 (edited) @Orbx Im quite disappointed from this "Update", why does it not have the EGLC specific Touch down zone marking lights? You even missed it in V1. This is a very important part of this airport... UK2000 version has it, as far as I know. The ground markings at the GAT area, are also far away from correct/complete.

carlosqr Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 I like the "train" that passes by the terminal too. If possible to add it would be nice Also the look inside the windows is very poor, just a bunch of chairs forced to fit, it would be nice to upgrade that too Thanks Carlos 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's worse, the green threshold lights have been misplaced and are now located on the physical threshold instead of the displaced one. This was correct in V1 as far as I can remember. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
