Origami Studios Releases London Gatwick Airport for Microsoft Flight Simulator

Just over a month after originally announcing the product for Microsoft Flight Simulator, Origami Studios in collaboration with iniBuilds’ scenery department - iniScene - has released their rendition of London Gatwick Airport.

The airport is not simply a ported version of the X-Plane product, but instead has been redeveloped from the ground up, incorporating various changes to the UV/texture mapping, the groundwork and custom satellite imagery.

Included on the store page is a fully fledged feature list, which reads as follows:

  • A mix of 4K and 2K textures for optimal performance
  • A custom, faithful recreation of the latest airport ground layout with accurate signage
  • Realistic stand signs coupled with static, accurately placed VDGS
  • Ground clutter and custom cars placed all around the airport to bring it to life
  • Several variants of bespoke, animated jetways
  • Accurate apron, runway and taxiway lighting throughout

“Origami Studios have partnered with iniScene to bring this up-to-date representation of Gatwick to the next generation simulator with a plethora of features to bring the airport to life and up to par with it’s real-world counterpart”, the store page also states.

You can currently purchase Origami Studios’ rendition of Gatwick Airport from iniBuilds’ online store, although it will be coming to the Microsoft Flight Simulator in-game Marketplace soon. You can also join the Discord server of both developers here:
