Following the early access release, Macco Simulations has released version 1.0.0 of their Manchester Airport for Microsoft Flight Simulator. Located in the North of England, Manchester Airport (EGCC) is one of the country’s busiest, serving domestic and international airlines to locations around the world. Airlines such as easyJet, Virgin and TUI frequent the airport and take passengers to destinations in Europe and the US.
The product itself comes with PBR textures, custom modeling, and accurate night lighting. There are numerous custom buildings scattered around the airport, along with ground service equipment and accurate ground markings. The airport has also been tested with the latest UK World Update and is fully compliant.
In version 1 of the product, a complete fire training area has been added over time, new grandstands and the east pier of terminal three complete with new glass and basic interior. Furthermore, the new modified taxi lines to the affected areas have been added along with new concrete ground textures. Finally, the famous Airport Pub has also been completed for those who enjoy spotting a round of planes while jets fly to the airport.
While the new version means that the product is complete, the developer has stated that there is more work to be done as Manchester Airport continues to develop in the real world.
As previously mentioned, the new price for the airport is now £ 9.99, after the initial early access price of £ 7.99. Customers who purchased the product at that stage can now access Manchester Airport version 1.0.0 at no additional cost. You can purchase the product now from the Macco Simulations website and soon from the Microsoft Flight Simulator Marketplace.
