ORBX has shared some preview screenshots and information on the upcoming v1.1 update for Bilbao (LEBB). The announcement was made via a forum post this morning.
ORBX announced a service pack for the scenery last year and have decided to take it further. You can find our review on the scenery here. New high-resolution terminal and ground textures have been added in addition to SODE gates. The approach for runway 12/30 has also received an upgrade with 200 new building types and variations added. Mountain ranges are now included in the southern approach adding to the realism of the scenery not to mention the inclusion of other various fixes and tweaks. Sadly there was no mention of a release date but we do have a feature list. Some update features will not be available in FSX due to technical and memory limitations.
That’s all we have on Bilbao for now. We’ll be sure to update you with any new information as soon as it becomes available. In the meantime enjoy the official feature list along with these awesome screenshots.
