Full Airport reconstruction of runways, Modelling is now more detailed than the old Ultra Version V8.0, i just have the huge task of making the runways/taxiways/aprons/parking bays/painted lines..
The airport is now operational with lots of updates coming
AUTOTUNING ILS OK
CHECKED AND WORKING WITH WORLD UPDATE 3 UK
Installing updated versions for EGKK and Best way to clear your cache and get rid of old data indexes
- 1) Delete the older version 'gatwick' from community folder
- 2) Start fs2020 and spawn to default Gatwick
- 3) Close Fs2020 and install New version into community folder as 'gatwick'
- 4) Open fs2020
This method will solve the problem of scenery not appearing, or overlapping models
ONLY GATES are serviced by Jetways. Even if you are on a Left side stand, and it looks closer if its a RAMP position the jetway will not move, instead call for steps.

I just installed the latest version of the EGKK scenery. I believe it V10.7. I started FS and loaded default EGKK and then restarted FS with loaded EGKK. I see the blue progress bar move across the bottom, and then Nothing. It just sits there and go no further. It's been this way for 30 minutes now. Any help is appreciated.

Which aircraft are you using?
Dufnut22 1 day(s) ago
I've got this issue too, using the A32NX, loading into any other airport works fine
mkvy 22 hour(s) ago
yes, my flybywire takes ages and ages to load, not sure why. seems to be faster after a 2nd time. For sure more and more complexity is bringing my 9 year old computer to its knees

This is happening to me too.

have you tried any default aircraft?
Bigmack 14 hour(s) ago
Yes I tried default aircraft and last night I removed EGKK and reloaded default airport, which loaded fine. Tried loading the new airport with no aircraft. And would not load.

Was it working after sim update 6 was released or has it just started doing this?
do you have any other addons which have a my modellib , default named in the scenery folder of the addon.
are you using enhanced apron textures or any other enhancement addon?
are you using any addon linker
have you upgraded nvidia drivers
have you upgraded to windows 12
have you done any windows updates since it was last working fine.
Did you already try this version which has the animations removed.

Have you tried reducing the airport vehicle traffic to zero before loading
Bigmack 11 hour(s) ago
No I'm not using any airport enhancements or Modifications
I have not tried the lighter version of the airport, but I will try
I'm using WIN10 PRO
I'm not using any addon modifications, Everything is in default community folder. I removed all other addons from the community folder except EGKK and still would not load.
No addon linker
Using the latest WHOL nvidia drivers
No Win updates
Have not tried reducing airport traffic to zero before loading, but will try
Will also check for the modellib in other scenery files, but like I said I removed all other addons from community folder and just loaded EGKK alone. But still would not load.

Great to hear no major issues , I shall continue , now that Heathrow is dead in the water because I cannot remove the premium Delux content

That's a real shame, you do some great work and I had no doubt your Heathrow would have been amazing. We need a better Heathrow.

Good News, Premium Delux Heathrow version can be removed by expanding the Premium Delux selection in the content manager. Big update coming later today as far as Terminal 5B anyway

How’s the animated buggy and cargo loader, I’m interested to know if they disappear when close up. On my pc they do, but if I view at a different angle they come back. Strange

Unusable for me, reason unknown. Please can we have a link to older files back to two versions ago? Massive stutters and frame rate locks when turning head using TrackIR. This scenery appears to cause sound issues too, with sound drop-outs and lock-ups of my simulator. This is the only airport that I have used which is now giving me issues. I am downloading the Standard version now. Something has changed and I will try and troubleshoot the problem and report back if I find any conflicts etc.
Lighting poles have very odd vertical trailing neon artefacts while taxing. I have a picture example saved on my computer.
Charles.
mkvy 15 day(s) ago
The light poles have not changed, they are the default ones provided in the SDK, not changed for ages. I just arrange them to the correct locations . Lots of optimisations and LODs over the last few updates . Performance should be increasing through the roof not decreasing. Could be other factors in play like windows/gpu updates. All my old versions are available in nexus mods EGKK, must be about 50 versions there at the moment.
trails from objects sound to me like gpu drivers / settings tweaks
ChuckF 13 day(s) ago
I have established that the trails from lighting poles are caused by a known bug in MSFS. I posted an image in the official MSFS forum under my Nvidia Driver thread, (TheAviator) and was alerted that is is an ongoing problem. I tried the Standard version of EGKK scenery however, on loading the scenery I was getting a CTD which does not occur with the, 'full fat' ULTRA version of your scenery.
Thank you for everything you have done on this scenery, it is truly amazing!

mkvy 13 day(s) ago
The standard version was made before sim update 5, but whenever i try any of my old versions, they always work fine. I know theres been alot of trouble with the latest nvidia drivers. I personally use 457.30 because it works fine with my 980ti
ChuckF 3 day(s) ago
Could you provide a link to an older version of your scenery so I can test it to see if I am getting the same performance issues. Before the last three iterations of your fantastic scenery I have absolutely no performance issues with stutters etc. At least having access to an older file would put this to bed for me. You could release an older version fro diagnosis purposes or something like that. I just wished I had not deleted my older versions of your scenery.
Best wishes.
Yours aye.
Charles.

Absolument magnifique. Merci.

So much better than most paid sceneries. Never get bored of flying in or out of Gatwick. Superb.
ChuckF
The last two iteration's of this wonderful Gatwick Airport scenery has introduced significant stutters and sound drop-outs on my computer which is a Ryzen 5600X and B550 MB. I have noticed also that if this scenery is not installed properly, it causes buildings and vehicles at ORBX Southampton EGHI Airport to sink into the ground. Make sure to always update with a fresh install of this scenery, do not drop a new folder into an old one! I have not had any problems with poor performance before the last two updates.
mkvy 17 day(s) ago
Performance should be way better, lots of optimisations and LODS with the last 2 updates. and yes you are correct, never drag a new install into an old, because it definitely needs to be deleted before extracting the new one, thanks for pointing that out
ChuckF 17 day(s) ago
Hi Mkvy, I will check out other possibilities with regard to the decreased performance. It might be due to a conflict with another freeware with your scenery. BRGDS. Charles Forsyth.
ChuckF 7 day(s) ago
Just tried the latest Ultra and Standard version of your scenery. With both versions while sitting on the runway and turning my head to look towards the terminal buildings with TrackIR, my simulator pauses for several seconds as lots of airport objects pop into view. It does not matter if I use the lowest MSFS graphics settings or the highest, the result is the same, a long freeze in the simulator. I have not found another airport which repeats this problem with this level of severity. As I said previously, it's only the last three iterations of you wonderful scenery that this has been happening too. Thank you for all that you have been doing with the scenery. Take care, BRGDS. Charles.

Hi Great job as usual, I have a slight issue though, not sure if anyone else gets it, In the latest update gates 12 and 14, the planes are spawning the wrong way around (facing out towards runway. cheers exo
mkvy 18 day(s) ago
Thats an easy one...i will correct that with the next update... when in the SDK and selecting parking areas, its really easy for the parking bay to rotate 180 degrees without even realizing... i will correct that now...
mh007
One of the very best airports. Wonderfull. Thanks!!

Heya there dear community!
Seems like our mr. Ross did a better job in regards to Gatwick than iniBuilds with their the existing payware version (which is also exeptional !).
This is just a premier craftsmanship!
Right ? 😀
