Burning Blue Design has released Farnborough Airport (EGLF) for Microsoft Flight Simulator. Farnborough Airport has one of the richest histories for aviation airports in the UK, with events dating back to 1908. Today, the airport is known for its renowned yearly airshow which attracts over 80,000 visitors each year and 1,500 exhibitors. Throughout the rest of the year, over 30,000 business jets move through the airport, making it one of the most prestigious business hubs in the UK.
The airport product comes with over 90 custom models that encompass the airport’s main structures and also various landmarks around the airport for a true VFR experience. This includes elements such as the Aviator Hotel, the Farnborough Air Scneie Trust Museum (with display aircraft) and also the local Swan Pub. In addition, the team has included custom working windsocks that are dynamic to the weather conditions. Other features include full night lighting, high-resolution and colour-corrected ground textures and also over 10,000 placed stock assets in the surrounding area including parking spaces, trees, fences and more.
