iniBuilds has recently issued an update to their rendition of London Heathrow Airport (EGLL) for Microsoft Flight Simulator, addressing ground service equipment positions, fixing issues, and improving overall performance.

Version 3.1.0 divides terminal 3 into three smaller sections to improve performance, reduces GSE textures, brings positional fixes for ground service equipment, fixes jetway clipping issues, and more. The complete changelog follows below:

- T3 model divided into smaller sections to reduction per-mesh tri count (fix for model not showing on xbox)

- Some tweaking of GSE positions

- Reduced GSE textures

- Incorrectly scale stairs removed

- Various jetway/wing clipping issues

- Missing taxiline on 27L

- C1 checkpoint labelled as D1 on taxi sign

- Wrong/missing Taxiway signs

- Layout modified to prevent departing traffic from joining 09L via AB12 and backtracking. AB12 is now no longer available to AI aircraft.

- Adjusting some markings intensity

- Replaced all frequencies with custom (via chart). Default (non-NG) has tower and ground on the same freq.

- Helipad Lights missing

- Jetways disconnected from terminal - various locations
