| In the process of rebuilding the taxiways and parking bays due to asobo changing the rules of the SDK regarding taxiway points
Full Airport reconstruction of runways, Modelling is now more detailed than the old Ultra Version V8.0, i just have the huge task of making the runways/taxiways/aprons/parking bays/painted lines..
The airport is now operational with lots of updates coming
AUTOTUNING ILS OK
CHECKED AND WORKING WITH WORLD UPDATE 3 UK
Installing updated versions for EGKK and Best way to clear your cache and get rid of old data indexes
- 1) Delete the older version 'gatwick' from community folder
- 2) Start fs2020 and spawn to default Gatwick
- 3) Close Fs2020 and install New version into community folder as 'gatwick'
- 4) Open fs2020
This method will solve the problem of scenery not appearing, or overlapping models
ONLY GATES are serviced by Jetways. Even if you are on a Left side stand, and it looks closer if its a RAMP position the jetway will not move, instead call for steps.
V10.8.20 Coming soon
Taxiway lights toned down
St Micheals Church, MD80 and ground radar reinstated
130's centrelines complete and linked to network
WigWAgs corrected, front illumination of ground
Pier 2: South facing HSBC Silver Stairwell/lift modular buildings remodelled / optimised , now with less aliasing. although even blender loop cuts show minor aliasing, which should be fixed with sim update 10 Asobos render engine

Hi,
Can you do a check of taxiway Romeo by the control tower. I have departing aircraft getting stuck there just by the taxiway marking indicating gate 161 to the right. The aircraft eventually timeout and disappear.
Thanks.

Does this updated version have working VDGS now? Great work and really really appreciate you giving your time and work for the community. Thank you so much.

this has got to be the premier freeware airport on the market

I have just installed v10.8.21 as per your instructions above and find in the MSFS map view Gatwick has two stand numbers, for example I always use stand 130 but there is also the ASOBO number 84. This didn't happen in previous versions so I'm concerned its loading your Gatwick version and Asobo's at the same time. Also the AI aircraft are landing on 26R, never seen that before.
Is there any way to download v10.8.20 which worked fine
mkvy 19 day(s) ago
seeing asobos stand numbers is probably a cache issue, are you using manual cache, if so delete cache and turn on auto managed.
The Ai aircraft landing on 26R is the price you pay for navigraph working correctly. If i disable the northern runway it messes up navigrath. If i enable the northern runway, the Ai aircraft will land on it. Its impossible to please everyone, have to compromise
gaj52 18 day(s) ago
I have cleared the cache and still getting double ramp numbers on the map indicating its loading both Gatwick versions at the same time. Having Ai aircraft land on 26R is not realistic and spoils the simulation in my view.
Can you please PM me with a link to v10.8.20 which worked fine on my system, thanks.

will there be a gsx file to the airports that would be real should? 😊

Loving this airport but could you maybe work on a GSX profile for this airport or link any that have already been made
mkvy 28 day(s) ago
Hi, I don’t have GSX
BrianT58 28 day(s) ago
I just configure whatever gate I like to start from/land at and then use that one all the time. It's not that difficult to do but you do need to put in a bit of effort yourself to get it there.
It took me 5 minutes to do a basic profile for gate 107, which included repositioning of the aircraft to the correct stop position, and removing the marshaler as there is a working system already there. The positioning of all the baggage truck can also be moved if you want to but I was happy with where they were.

The passenger bridge near gate 161 at EGKK is showing as a ground standing building whether I use Addons Linker or the Community folder directly.
Anybody else using EGKK that has scenery working correctly, with or without using Addons Linker, might help me compare our two uses to get my copy working.
Any help much appreciated.
mkvy 29 day(s) ago
disable manually managed cache and delete any manual cache. Just let fs2020 manage itself
rmcdonaldwoods 28 day(s) ago
I have done this many times but without effect. Cheers,R

Simply put one of the best handcrafted MSFS airports available anywhere, at any price. I can only hope when you've reached a point you consider this "finished" (at least until the real world airport decides to add a new runway or change all their procedures) that you can turn to the US, maybe starting with KPIE, a Class-D airport with Class-B traffic (but it underlies another Class-B so it gets neglected) which is where I learned to fly and the default one makes me want to cry.
I'd give it 5 stars, but there's no rating on this window, so perhaps I already did!

Thanks for restoring runway 08L which I can confirm has fixed the SID'a and STARs access problem when used in conjunction with Navigraph on both World map and within aircraft. Thanks also for the great work you do in providing us this fantastic Gatwick Scenery package, Cheers
mkvy 29 day(s) ago
great, thanks for the confirmation
BrianT58
Glad to see you back, still the best EGKK out there by far! The sids and stars are back working as normal now.
The only thing I've never managed to find is the "Welcome to Luton" sign that some wag put up
DownedAviator 16 day(s) ago
The "Welcome to Luton" sign was definitely there last time I looked. Took me a while to find it initially but I found it eventually after using Googlemaps to locate it and get orientated to its position with respect to the airport and suitable landmarks to guide me to it.
BrianT58 15 day(s) ago
why didn't I think of that!
rmcdonaldwoods
I am still showing the passenger bridge near gate 161 as a solid building on the ground.
My Content.xml file does not contain a gatwick entry, even though my 200+ other airports do. Is this the source of my problem? If so, what is going wrong?
Cheers, Richard
mkvy 29 day(s) ago
can you send a screen shot of the community folder with Gatwick folder inside, or are you using addon linker
rmcdonaldwoods 29 day(s) ago
I am using MSFS Addons Linker v0.16.8183.20055, as with my other 251 sceneries, and Gatwick V10.8.21.
mkvy 29 day(s) ago
Yeah it’s not working with addon linker , something I do not use, probably explains why I never had this issue, maybe windows does not like linking file sizes above a certain amount >2gb?
rmcdonaldwoods 29 day(s) ago
Confused! I have move EGKK to my Community folder and deleted it from Addons Linker, but the bridge still shows as a building rather than a bridge.
mkvy 29 day(s) ago
are you using manually managed cache, if so, delete it and let fs2020 auto manage cache

Hey mkvy! Very good scenery! I do have an FPS decrease but it is tolerable. It's such a pity that the STARS and SIDS are not working because the runway is removed (when you are using the current Navigraph cycle). According to Navigraph you just have to add the runway again and it should work. Is that possible for you? 😊
Here is another post on Navigraph: https://forum.navigraph.com/t/tebra2g-egkk-arrival-not-found-in-fbw-a320/8797/3
mkvy 1 month(s) ago
Yes hopefully some time in September as I am very very busy at work at the moment, no time to even open fs2020
Zarrigo 1 month(s) ago
Alright, thank you! Is there a way of downloading a previous version of this with the two runways?
Zarrigo 29 day(s) ago
Thank you very much for fixing it. I am seeing STARS and SIDS now! 😊

Have the scenery in community folder but it isnt working. Any ideas?
hergi1234
Haven't used this mod for some time but now downloaded the latest version and noticed quite prominent window flickering/vibrating around the south terminal. Don't know if you've noticed this. I had similar problems on my models if on Blender I used MSFS Glass with high alpha value. Something like alpha 0.22 or less and the problem disappeared or if used just standard material for glass instead of MSFS Glass. It's a superb scenery thank you!
mkvy 1 month(s) ago
Nice tip, I will look at that when I can, seems to be a new issue with sim update 9, I wait to see if su10 has the same aliasing, flickering glass/light interactions
hergi1234 1 month(s) ago
Nice! Hopefully it would help as it at least looked like a very similar problem i had and tbh it is quite prominent if you’re parked at those stands. For me this kind of problem appeared actually after SU8.

Scenery is great! 5 Stars. Although is anyone else having gsx problems here?
JennyD 1 month(s) ago
yes just came here to report GSX doesn't seem to want to work at gatwick with "scripting not started" messages

Yup same over here
