Pyreegue will soon release a new addition to his growing catalogue of MSFS airports; a few hours ago on the Orbx forums, the namesake developer announced that he is wrapping up development on Glasgow Airport and beta testing has already started and is progressing well. The release will happen within this week if things remain on track.

The developer has been known for his well built Ukrainian airport recreations in MSFS, the recent push towards English airports, garnered more attention and fanfare towards his developments, Announced in September, Glasgow Airport is Pyreegue’s latest venture in this direction and like all other airport renditions that he has made, this latest work is another great accomplishment; for Glasgow Airport, the package comes with a painstakingly detailed terminal rendition with a completely modeled interior with executive lounges (Lomond Lounge, Emirates Lounge, BA Lounge).

The ATC tower, and Gama Aviation Hangar receive the same treatment with a detailed interior model. Landmark structures that surround the airport’s premises including Holiday Inn hotels, Car Hire Village, the airport’s flying club and “Leading Edge Flight Training” are covered. The nearby Helipad also is recreated and packaged into the add-on.

Alongside those distinctive features, users can expect the usual frills that come with Pyreegue’s airports including the latest airport layout, built in default ATC/AI traffic, and jetways that are custom modelled and animated with hood animation, although the developer noted that the older 2 axis variants aren’t functional due to lack of support on SDK for those types of jetways. Groundwork is as comprehensive per Pyreegue fashion featuring “hundreds” of markings and weathering.

Here is the full feature list:

  • Custom Ground polygons with hundreds of markings and accurate weathering
  • 2021 layout
  • Custom night lighting
  • PBR texturing on all objects
  • LODs and texture resolution optimized for smooth performance
  • Default ATC/AI Traffic integration
  • Parallax windows on key objects to simulate interior
  • Surroundings included, such as Holiday Inn hotels, Car Hire Village, Long Term Parking lots, Customs Hangars, Nearby Farms, Glasgow Flying Club, Leading Edge Flight Training and many others.
  • Animated Radars
  • Window Rain Effects for terminal interior
  • Highly detailed ATC tower interior
  • EGEG Glasgow Heliport Included
  • Detailed Gama Aviation Hangar
  • Static Business Jets
  • Static airliners (Toggleable)
  • Detailed fire training centre

Closing the update, the developer noted that a working Visual Docking Guidance System is currently in the works and will be implemented to all of the released airports once completed.
