Multi-sim developer Orbx Simulations took to their forums today announcing their next for Microsoft Flight Simulator, Stapleford Airfield. This follows the release of Landmarks Brisbane, also for Microsoft Flight Simulator.

“Located in the Epping Forest district of Essex is Stapleford Airfield which began in the 1930s as Essex Aerodrome and was used by the RAF during the Second World War” the team explains, “Today the airport is home to a family run flight training business with other operators offering charter services and sightseeing flights to London”. 

The team have included a feature list, which reads as follows:

  • Faithfully recreated depiction of EGSG Stapleford Airfield crafted from on-site photos 
  • Fully custom modelled airport with weathered textures
  • PBR airport buildings with meticulous attention to detail
  • Carefully hand-placed clutter to brings the airport to life
  • True to life ground textures and markings
  • Perfectly located for short flights in the south-east of England

Orbx states that this project was especially important to them as this airfield was one of the team's first released sceneries for any flight simulator, initially coming out on the ESP platform. “We have rejuvenated this charming airport for Microsoft Flight Simulator, bringing it into line with modern standards required by the sim”.

The product’s pricing has not yet been announced, but the developer plans for a weekend release date. In the meantime, you can check out the original post on the Orbx forums.
