Following the release of early access, Macco Simulations has released version 1.0.0 of their Manchester airport for Microsoft Flight Simulator. Manchester Airport (EGCC) is located in the north of England and is one of the busiest businesses in the country serving local and international transport companies to places around the world. Airlines such as easyJet, Virgin and TUI regularly take the airport with passengers to destinations in Europe and the USA.
The product itself is packed with PBR textures, custom modeling and accurate night lighting throughout. There are numerous custom buildings scattered throughout the airport, along with ground equipment and accurate landmarks. The airport has also been tested with the latest UK World Update and is fully compatible.
Over time, a complete fire training area has been added in version 1 of the product, new sites and the eastern pier of terminal three are completed with new glass and a basic interior. Furthermore, the new adapted taxi lines have been added to appropriate areas, along with new concrete ground structures. Finally, the famous Airport Pub is also complete for those who fancy a round of planes detecting while planes are flying to the airport.
While the new version means that the product is finish, the developer said there will be more work as Manchester airport continues to develop in the real world.
As mentioned before, the new price for the airport is now £ 9.99 after the initial price for early entry of £ 7.99. Customers who purchased the product during the phase now have access to version 1.0.0 of Manchester Airport at no extra cost. You can buy the product now via the Macco Simulations website and soon the Microsoft Flight Simulator Marketplace.
