| 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.
V10.8.26 Coming soon!

Fantastic work MKVY. For some reason my ILS is not working here. Is it just me or have others lost their ILS?
mkvy 2 day(s) ago
still not working with the latest version V.10.8.26??
stefstaf 1 day(s) ago
yep, mine doesn't work either, Rwy 08
mkvy 14 hour(s) ago
I can only conclude that its a problem with the SDK, Asobo issues, as i have observed all sorts of problems with other freeware airports. Just something that should be fixed in time

which aircraft?
spitzer
FPS is okey without traffic. But with traffic cpu is struggling. For performance concerns reduce traffic at this airport.

Firstly, thank you for your work with this Gatwick airport. I do have a question for you regarding AI traffic. Is there a way for you to prevent AI traffic using 08L/26R? The AI flow gets very confused when both the main runway and the emergency runway are used.
mkvy 5 day(s) ago
If I disable the northern runway navgraph does not seem to work and lots of navigraph users are unhappy. I’m afraid that Ai cannot cope which the complexity it seems
Harrier77 5 day(s) ago
OK, thank you for getting back to me.

Now that my new GPU has 16gb of VRAM I will give this another shot. Nearly every payware 3rd party airport on my 8gb gpu was almost unplayable!
mkvy 5 day(s) ago
Good luck! I and the cpu?
Guyanapilot99 5 hour(s) ago
15.0gb of vram used wow but its buttery smooth. I am pushing 3440x1440 which is already a demanding resolution. Tested with Fenix!

Since SU11, traffic seems to get stuck on 08R (even after closing FSLTL, werid!) This is causing a huge FPS hit. I think other people with the fps problem also have this (but might not have spotted the piled up traffic).
Amazing scenery otherwise, thank you very much!
mkvy 6 day(s) ago
I’ll take a look, next update on Friday
Zeemon 6 day(s) ago
Super! 😊 What might help in finding the issue: the drone camera can clip right through the ground at that same spot (taxiway FR coming of 26L) whereas everywhere else the cameraa won't go trough the ground. So I am guessing some kind of collision issue...
mkvy 5 day(s) ago
Problem found, taxiway point mix up in that area, next update will fix that
Stwutter
Huge props to the dev. for this amazing scenery, but - as others have said - the latest Asobo update has made this unusable for me ATM. 4-10fps on the ground - jumps to 35-45 the moment I'm at about 500ft.
mkvy 6 day(s) ago
which aircraft are you using, see if lowering the ground traffic etc helps.. i normally leave this at zero as my cpu is old
Stwutter 6 day(s) ago
The Fenix. I'm not lowering my settings for one airport add-on. I get great frames at any other add-on, so I've uninstalled until such a time it's updated and isn't giving me single digit frames.
mkvy 5 day(s) ago
Thats a very complex aircraft
Stwutter 5 day(s) ago
Yes, it is - but I have a decent machine that performs well at all other airports. I'm not knocking your product - it's excellent. All I'm saying is that it is currently giving me terrible FPS, and I'm not willing to lower my settings to accommodate it. When/if it's fixed, I'll re-download.

Thankyou ABitEncrypted for your kind donation

nice

mkvy, This is literally payware level scenery. why are you not selling this??!! you could easily make money off this airport! I really hope to see you do more airports in the future 😊

Hi, after last update very high fps drops (i have 3080ti) but fps sometimes attacks 20 fps...

nothings changed, just ils

Hi, when I extract the gatwick folder to my community folder it is missing layout.json & manifest.json, so when I launch MSFS, gatwick sits in content manager as not installed and the addon does not work.
mkvy 10 day(s) ago
Are they in the zip file?
retroisback96 10 day(s) ago
no I don't see them in the zip I downloaded from here
mkvy 10 day(s) ago
I will check this evening, it’s been downloaded 2000 times, I’m surprised no one else has mentioned this
mkvy 10 day(s) ago
Yes it does, both ,json exist in the zip file. maybe you should disable your antivirus, may be a bit enthusiastic scanning zip files
retroisback96 9 day(s) ago
strange, I downloaded the zip again and there they were. Thanks for your help and for this fantastic addon!
mkvy 8 day(s) ago
Thats great!

This continues to be my favorite freeware airport in this sim. The airport makes you feel like you are actually there in rich detail. This in my top ten favs !

Developers must think that sometimes Asobo/Microsoft change the SDK to generate lots of work for developers, in the hope that they'll give up and give commercial developer's an opportunity to "compete"! 😞
mkvy 12 day(s) ago
Must be indeed!

I noticed that my approach framerates have taken a massive dive after SU11 anyone else notice this? Used since the early days still a brilliant rendition of EGKK but latest SU makes it unviable for me to land here.
mkvy 12 day(s) ago
Nothing i have done. Each update by Asobo brings more and more. So maybe, depending on how many addons and mods you are using, its time to update hardware? or maybe follow easyjet sim pilots tuning video
Nic 12 day(s) ago
Thanks for the reply.

Amazing airport - Sadly the FBW A320NX couldn't get the ILS from 26L in two tries and I had to manually drop it down, but other than that insane attention to detail, working Parking Systems and so much more!

With V10.8.24*

There is a problem with se sids and stars. After removing the scenery it worked normally.
annihilator 8 day(s) ago
i have the same problem. waypoints are missing
mkvy 8 day(s) ago
The latest version should be working fine. All navigation points are default, have you tried the latest version?
Oliin008 7 day(s) ago
Yep I saw it.
mkvy 7 day(s) ago
Did it fix the issue, not seen any comments so far that ILS is not working, which is good
naga_sauce
I love the look of this airport - good job.
Just to comment on ILS issues - under v10.8.24 ILS for 26L does not work. Even manual tuning to IWW picks up IRR/110.3, which is the ILS for 27R at Heathrow.
maleas
With the inibuilds A310 and EGKK as destination, I get a CTD when trying to load the simbrief flightplan to the FMC. Must be the EGKK ILS issue
TheAppleFarmer 23 day(s) ago
I have the same issue. Took me forever to work out why it kept crashing, it was because on all my test flights I wanted to start or end at Gatwick because I love the scenery so much! Would love to have this fixed! 😊
nikilase 12 day(s) ago
They didn't state it in the Update Logs but this issue was fixed in the last update. Just did a nice flight from EDLP to EGKK in the A310 and had no problems whatsoever
mkvy 12 day(s) ago
Did the ILS work though? By the lack of comments since the update yesterday I can assume it does now work I guess for everyone
Squibby
Just reporting that the runway textures are a bit messed up (tire streaks running crossways) when using the Zinertek airport texture addon, maybe an issue with REX airport textures as well.
Possibly something you may want to look into.
mkvy 27 day(s) ago
Hi, yes it’s your payware texture addon conflict. No way for me to address something I do not own
Acerazus
Great scenery, however, I've noticed horrible stuttering when approaching gatwick.
mkvy 28 day(s) ago
Hi, probably you need a better computer all depends on which aircraft mod you are using
Acerazus 28 day(s) ago
I was flying the pmdg 737 into gatwick last night when the stuttering started. I haven't had stuttering issues when flying the 737 into other airports.
mkvy 27 day(s) ago
Easy sim pilot did a really good video on how to tune computer. Best thing would be to pay for inibuilds EGKK version, see if that helps with stuttering issues, ILS should be working well too for every aircraft type with inibuilds
