  • Custom Jetways
  • Hand-crafted ground textures, including repairs and wear and tear
  • Surrounding buildings, including: Radisson Hotel, hangars, warehouses, engine test area, PremiAir, fire training area, the airport pub, car parks.

Manchester V2 - 01-08-2023

Over the last year, we have had the great pleasure to liaise with the team at MAG, who are allowing us to visit the airfield in August. We will be spending the day airside, taking reference images, videos, gathering photogrammetry, and getting up close to places where most don't get to go! 
This will allow us to put an incredible amount of detail into the airport, and bring the airport up to 2024 standards.

Once we have all the reference imagery we require, we will be planning the new version. 
We will be updating our blog much like we did with the initial release of the (current V1) airport back in 2020!

Amazing detail on my home airport

Not too sure if it's been pointed out however the taxi ways are awfully bumpy after updating to this Airport but I'm sure that'll get fixed in time. Still worth the 5 stars though :)
