EGCC by MaccoSim Free Update yes/no?

Featured Replies

I recently have read that MaccoSim has access to the real airport and is going to upgrade the scenery accordingly. Will this update be free for customers who have the current version? I ask because they have it on sale. If the update cost something, I would wait for it. If it's going to be free, I will buy this version on sale. Anyone has any info?

Per their website:

Free future updates

Whenever we make minor updates to our airports, you will receive the update for free!


No idea.

I'll shut up now.

I just checked via the Macco Sim App, it does mention the updates will be released gradually over a period of time, which suggests to me it likely is a free upgrade. There is no mention of a charge.

Do they have provided any info on how far they are or shown any screenshots?

They have not started yet, and just says they will start Dec 2023. It sounds like a complete reconstruction, and optimisation of the whole airport, both using satellite/ and Onsight visits, as they have been in contact with the powers at "B" at EGCC. It's pretty good still, considering it was one of the first addons i bought, but this next version sounds like a big improvement throughout.

If this is Manchester I have it - because it is a very nostalgic place for me - and it used to be called - 'Ringway"

My first memories are of a prefabricated terminal at war's end  - and a large Hangar across the runway where

Parachutists were trained - amongst them -  my dad

as the years went by - spent many hours watching the planes land and take off - and in the 60's - flew from there

to London and Glasgow in the Vickers Viscounts and Vanguards

I was last there in 2008 on a flight from Australia to Manchester and return on a Singapore 777

I don’t have MSFS but these recent airport charts may help you compare what you have now to reality. I have no idea if work on T2 expansion has completed. T1 and T3 are due to be demolished and rebuilt in the next few years so it might be some time before you have an airport in MSFS that matches the actual one.
