May 17, 20233 yr Hi all, My local airport is East Midlands Airport in the UK, living under the approach path for runway 27. I’ve been following the development updates on twitter by Pyreegue, who is working on this airport and the teaser preview screenshots look to be absolutely fantastic. The level of detail is outstanding. I think this is going to be their best work yet on already next level airports released so far, eg Belfast and Edinburgh. I can’t wait for release day. (Hopefully soon) This looks to be awesome. Is anyone else looking forward to this airport coming to MSFS…? Edited May 17, 20233 yr by LDR InFlight

May 18, 20233 yr No stirring of the loins here I'm afraid, 😢 The World is divided into two groups. Those who say "Give me a link" and those that provide the link. WWG1WGA
May 18, 20233 yr Looking forward to it. There are not many UK airports without a decent payware offering left now. EGSH is one I'd like. And maybe Bournemouth? Can't think of any others. The Gatwick freeware is so good I doubt any developer would bother.. Edited May 18, 20233 yr by jarmstro
May 18, 20233 yr Moderator East Midlands is perhaps most famous for the 1989 Kegworth crash when a British Midland B737-400 failed to stay airborne long enough for an emergency landing. It crashed into the embankment of the M1 motorway on 8 January 1989, just under 3 weeks after Lockerbie. 47 of the 126 souls on board perished.

May 18, 20233 yr Looking forward to this one, but whilst you are waiting there is an acceptable freeware offering over at flightsim.to by flyboyrez (and I believe aviationteh).

May 18, 20233 yr Author I had the privilege of seeing the Antonov AN-225 Mriya land at the airport in 2014 too.
May 18, 20233 yr Yup, anything by Pyreegue is a definite in my book - fantastic developer. The amount of detail added that will probably be lost on most people is nuts. The weathering on the control tower windows for example. Looking forward to this for sure. Ryzen 9800X3D, RTX 5090, 64GB, Win 11. MSFS2020. Moza, MFG, Fulcrum & Virpil controllers. Quest 3 for VR.

Details here… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kegworth_air_disaster On many levels, that was a dreadful event. I've landed in a Cessna (IRL) from that same direction and you realise that just a few feet higher and it would have still landed short of the runway threshold but not gone into the motorway embankment. Then again, with the wrong engine shut down, it could have failed at any time with, potentially, all lives lost.
