A sneak preview of Pilot Plus Bristol International for Microsoft Flight Simulator!

Bristol is a large project for the team, every asset has been carefully crafted making the airport truly authentic and realistic. The previews below give you a glimpse of how fantastic the final product will be, whilst we perfect the final touches.

 

We can't wait for you to see this for yourself and we're sure Bristol will become your new base in MSFS!

That looks amazing, I hope you guys can focus on other areas other than Europe and NA. Like Asia. There's so many airports there that could use some of your TLC.

EGGD is my home airport along with EGBJ (where I got my PPL).  I already have UK2000 EGGD but this looks amazing.  Really looking forward to this one.

Excellent news!! Pilot Plus Bristol is by far my favourite X-Plane airport and Southend is the best MSFS UK airport to date so I can't wait to see EGGD by PP in MSFS. Instant buy. I've already got the UK2000 rendition which is not much to write home about and I will be glad to replace it.

Holy moly, that looks really impressive. Nice (and very accurate) model of the passenger bus too.

Rubbish, Bristol Airport didn't look a bit like that when I last flew from there in (thinks very hard) circa 1990.

I never ceases to amaze me why developers spending so much time and effort into modelling the interiors of terminal buildings. It all looks very professional, however, at the end of the day this is a Flight Simulator not a Terminal Simulator. As an option, why could we not have a 'light' version of the airport where only the exterior of the airport is modelled. This would also benefit frame rates, I would assume.

Just my 2p worth.

Al

MSFS is becoming more versatile as it matures. We can now sail the ocean with boats. If it doesn't hurt performance much, than why not. I'm sure some people will make good use of interiors.

Awesome looking scenery!

If there is a large glass exterior to a terminal, I want to be able to see in. Opaque window textures makes an airport scenery look dated.
The performance penalty of this extra level of detail in MSFS appears to be much less than for other flight sims.

Looking forward to this.

The airport look fantastic and seems very well done.

However I do have a question somewhat unrelated.  I have asked similar about Manchester airport in the past.  I am an American and I find it somewhat amazing that an international airport of this size, serving this region, with modern facilities, in UK climate - does not have jetways??

Is this a UK thing or Euro thing?  Even a very small airport (with gates) which serves a smaller community in my state (KEUG) has jetways.

No insinuation, truly just curious.

Bristol is well served by low cost airlines that never use jetways because airports charge for their use. I'm guessing the management thought there's no point spending money installing something their customers will never use.

You are right, but Bristol is really more of an interegional airport, which does have flights to other countries because here in the UK other countries are a lot closer.   After all.. from Bristol, you can get to France after 160 NMiles.    It was also a fairly small airport origionally with the big airport being at Filton, just North  (The Concorde development base) which  is now closed and decaying   (but still fully implemented in MSFS2020).

It's also really a tourist airport..  the majority of flights are Ryanair and EasyJet..  you won't find the big international airlines there.. although I do have a photo of an Air China plane there from some years ago and have NO idea how that came to be 🙂

In fact, when Bristol was upgraded to more than just a local gliding club to an airport with a full international licence..  I'm not sure that Jetways even existed as it was just post war.. so it may well just be age and lack of investment since the BOAC times 🙂

Interestingly enough.. there is currently planning permission out for a fairly big expansion to Bristol.. and that will have some Jetways in it 🙂  Theres some info and a pic on this site of what the expansion should look like :-

EDIT:-  am totally up for this airport as it is my home base for OnAir and fly in and out of Bristol every day in the Sim 🙂

That looks to me like next level lighting!!! And you can even see rain dropping the windows. With this kind of lighting interiror design does make sense indeed! Really enjoining the atmophere in this pictures, even thought Bristol is not really an airport I fly often.

Looking foward for other projects by this new developer.

Already have all of them sir  ( I think, anyway.. Wycombe, Oxford and Southend? )..  but I really want Bristol now it has been teased...   Because of your other airports, this will be a day 1 purchase for me 🙂
