Full airport reconstruction

The airport is now operational with continuing updates

Installing updated versions for EGKK and Best way to clear your cache and get rid of old data indexes.Manual Cache not recommended, best to let fs2020 automatically manage.

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.

Install Guide

Download zip and open.

Drag or extract from zip into community folder as the folder name 'gatwick' Do not drag a new update into an older gatwick version. It must be deleted and the updated version extracted/dragged into the community folder

I have also included my own GSX profiles and have included in the Zip file.

Only one can be used at any one time, including the fine examples from other GSX profile creators.

I am making aircraft type specific GSX configs. These will be updated with every Gatwick update

The location for profiles on my pc is (windows store version of msfs)
Local Disk C\Users\mkvy(my PC name)\AppData\Roaming\Virtuali\GSX\MSFS

only one .ini must be in there at any one time.. remove any that are there and paste the .ini file, not the folder

GSX Profile A320

GSX Profile B737-600

GSX Profile B747-800

GSX Profile B787-10

More coming soon, possibly PMDG 737-800

When spawning at a position always REPOSITION with GSX so you are in the right config. Only one GSX profile can be used at one time. Take your pick from other profile creators as i'm sure they will be updated and go deeper into setups as there should be no major changes just tweaks.

Hi mkvy,

This add-on is truly impressive!

Thank you very much for your efforts to create this add-on scenery.
Without doubt 5 stars !

Fantastic work. I have finally ditched my Origami version of EGKK (as doesnt seem to be supported) , and testing your EGKK 2023 upgrade. Given it 5 stars ! However... I have SU13 and FSLTL running , and I am not seeing many aircraft take off on 26L. They seem to stop and wait, then turn left and disappear, or disappear while waiting (saw about 1 in 10 taking off over the period of an hour). For the few that did take off, they seem to taxi a long way down the runway before they started accelerating (as if the blast marking area is further up the runway) . Also the aircraft landing on 26L are landing after the last touch down marker (aiming point). A real shame, as seemed to be ok when testing last night when taking off from 08R. (I use live weather).

this is one of the best free mods for mfs2020 but we need a lighter version of it too for more fps.
not every one need giant textures. thanks for consideration.

Hi,
I have found some flickering textures in some parts of this lovely scenery. What do I have to do to avoid that situation? Please see the picture that I uploaded.
Apart from that, I can clearly consider the scenery is a master piece.

Hello
I wanted to say that some textures are black on the runway and there are ssome unusual stutters. I changed the settings to low and stutters does not go away. Some textures are broken on the runways!

Runways have black spots!

I'm very sorry to have to add a negative here, but in my recent updating of this AMAZING scenery I have lost it (possibly the plot!) I deleted the folder, I spawned in default EGKK, I downloaded the scenery and put it in the the right place, and now all I get is the default scenery. I've tried this many times... rebooting the sim dozens of time, still nothing. I was using addon linker software, which always used to work with this scenery; bypassing it and putting the scenery in the community folder had no effect. Do you have any suggestions for anything else to try - is there some kind of problem with the latest release???
NOTE: Within MSFS | Content Manager I see "Gatwick EGKK by MKYY INSTALLED version 23.10.1" so MSFS confirms that it thinks that it is installed.
POTENTIAL FIX: I installed the very old v10.7.0 and it worked straight away. I removed that and replaced with the current version (reflected in Content Manager) and that works (well it isn't the default scenery anymore). I wonder if the current MSFS version has a fundamental caching problem.

Could be that, but also what you did is a good way to force the cache out and load the updated version

Ive said it before and its worth saying again - this addon married with FSLTL AI traffic is amazing! I just park at a gate and watch the traffic come and go.

Thankyou so much for this and all freeware. Where / How can I donate some money for your efforts. Honestly all the money Ive spent on other payware and I end up here!

Thankyou for this makes a home place for my sim as its closest airport to me. When you doing Heathrow ? 😊

Great detail and work on this. have always kept updating since inception with no issue. this iteration having a wee issue with file name lengths.Any ideas, anyone.Ive skipped them for now, see what effect has on airport first.Many thanks

Bomberpaul

Love your airports and the designs, so realistic. The only problem with all the airports is that when you come in to land and put the ils and approach on it dosent work, so i tried to do it with the default airports and it does work. is there a way to resolve this?
Thanks.
