Lets make Gatwick Great Again!
Extract Folder as one into your community folder as gatwick
This version uses Default Airport runways/taxiways and jetways... But all the terminals/piers/stand plates are handcrafted. Every stand number is correct on the airport but incorrect in the world map at the moment. This may change with world update uk. Depends on Asobo.
This is the full version with added animations and trains
A Lighter version is available here with all the upgrades but without the trains and monorail animations

Another Version i am developing which is a full Edit of runways/aprons/texiways/jetway positions and correct stand numbers in world map is available here

Big thankyou to my supporters. . it was supposed to be just the bridge!

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
V8.0.2
Package completely rebuilt with SDK 0.12.0
V8.0.1
Ai building removed from taxiway Juliet
Packaged using latest SDK V0.10.0
V8
EGKK Fire Training Aircraft.
BA Hanger.
Pier 1 4K Bricks update.
South Terminal adjustments and Textures.
Airbridge Less dark textures and glass.
Inside Gate number corrected Pier 6.
V7.9.5
Virgin Hanger- fits 747-400. Asobo 747-8 will not fit fully, 5 metres longer.
A380 stand 558 added- jetways inop ATM.
ATC tower lowered slightly.
Added detail to airbridge ends.
Added detail to 500's jetty stairwell pods on 500's..
Pls Note.. some safedocks need adjustment on 552/553/557/558 due to rework.
V7.9.4
Centre Line T bar end terminations on every pier stand.Gate 101 shifted and new centreline in place.Poliigon Concrete Blocks Generator 4K Textures for Pier 2 and airbridge supports. (more additions later)More work on North Terminal added details and re levelling building heights using Google Earths NEW telemetry data as a visual reference aidV7.9.3
All Jetty Stands now have safedocks and stop markers for A320/747/787
Some tweaking still needed for 500's
V7.9.2
Test Introduction of Stop Markings on13,15,17,19,21,23Stand 23 is calibrated with its own safe dock.13-21 are not yet calibrated and checked but with a bit of luck they will match with the safedock stop.This is particularly useful for the Dreamliner where visibility of the safedock disappears near stop point due to H.U.D and low windows. In VR you can duck to see the safedock but in normal 2D you can now finish the taxi on stand in external view and capture the stop marker. This problem is only on stands 13M-23 due to reduced stand size
81 Safedocks now added and calibrated
1-5 Airbus or smaller
31M,32M,33M,34M,35M,36M,37,38 747 or smaller

Dreamliners may be a bit tail out on 13M,15,17,19,21,23. But 747 are as snug as a bug in a rug
stand 25,27 747 ASABIR (as snug as a bug in a rug)
Pier 5
Airbus or smaller 48L,49 L/R,, 50 L/R, 51 L/R,52 L/R, 54 L/R

More waves of stands in V7.9..
Any pilots with parking issues are very gratefully recieved, off centre line issues or tweaks i need to make to the stop points do let me know..
HOW TO USE AGNIS STAND GUIDENCE
Just left red light visible - Too far to left
Just right red light visible - Too far to right
Both red lights visible/flickering. Green and orange bars visible= dead centre
AS the aircraft gets closer to stop point the size of the orange/green bars reduces and the red bar becomes visible.
When the green/orange bars disappear, means STOP
I have no idea how i manged to make this work.. i starting to wonder if i am a genious (LOL)
It says SU6 here but we are all on SU9 now... does that mean the airport doesn't work anymore?!! Am I suppose to use the Ultra version at https://flightsim.to/file/5784/gatwick-egkk-ultra-star-edition-phase-1-0 instead?! Some clear information would be nice!

Well done sir. I checked this out yesterday and I must say it's easily on par with some of the better paid for airports. I might need to make EGKK my base now! Coffee going your way.

Hi, I've just downloaded Ver 8.0.2 SU5 (Gatwick). The loading gates when loading MSFS do not agree with the Jeppesen charts. For example at the southern end of the bridge, Jeppesen has gates 103 - 107, whereas you / MSFS have 162 - 165. Also, is it possible to use gate 25 at the western end of pier 2?
Otherwise it looks great - am I being too picky?

Hi, yes that’s the default Asobo layout, which is incorrect. I have corrected this in the full version , the one with 75,000+’downloads , give it a spin!

Good news. I can update this mod now to SU5. Will do tomorrow

So glad you are still able to work on this, it is such a great mod and you have put so much work into it that it broke my heart when you thought you couldn't update it anymore due to the changes to the SDK.
I look forward to any updates and new mods you provide to us when you're able too.

I am so sorry that one update caused such problems! This is one of the best scenery ever made for MSFS. I hope it will not discourage you from further work ... Regards

My plan was to continue everything in September, hopefully a fix will be found by then

Unfortunately the SDK no longer works for any of my work. So thats the end of the road i guess. Its been a fun year though.

does this mean you cannot even confirm your work is fully compatible with this SU5 nightmare?

Sim keeps crashing when at this airport since the sim had the system update 5. Is there going to be an updated version of Gatwick?
2 years ago
If you try the full version and the same thing happens then Its your system mate.. Just did a flight from Shoreham to Gatwick in a tbm and have 60fps 10 miles away. 40 fps solid landing.. Never had this performance on my 8 year old computer before.. Its probably addons and aircraft you have causing the problems or other causes... Nothing can be updated at the moment as the SDK is completely broken for many many developers, until they fix it... No need though because the Full Ultra Version addon is working fine

I have the full version of your BRILLIANT EGKK mod, and love it! Is this mod designed to work WITH that one, or is it one OR the other, but not both?
