Yes it is annoying :smiley:

Yes BATC injection, FSLTL & FSTraffic models.

On an unrelated note, is FSLTL supporting FST models again now?

I don’t know as I don’t use FSLTL injector, I use BATC for injection which does.

Can anyone confirm if the southside viewing area (side of 23L) has the mound? It did when Airliners Live reviewed it the other day, but mine doesn’t. Really minor and not toooo bothered, just curious is all.

What is it supposed to look like? I’m airborne right now. Will be landing there in about 40 mins.

Can’t find a decent picture, but side of 23L where the bloke with the camera tripod is, where he is stood should be a raised grass banking. For me it’s completely flat.

Here’s a link to the airliners live part of the preview vid:

Now I feel really petty lol.

It looks devoid of an elevation “mound” for me too.

Thanks for checking yours. :+1: I’ll see if I can ask on inibuilds Discord. Seems a bit odd that it was there but now isn’t and neither any kind of terrain elevation along that length.

UPDATES: Inibuilds are apparently aware according to Discord. :+1: Also some sunken buildings (not seen personally).

I’ve not gone around checking around the periphery of EGCC, so I’m probably missing all the fun stuff. I’ve just been doing lots of regional hops in and out of EGCC. Still trying to figure out why BATC keeps vectoring me over MCT transition for 23R ILS at 2000ft!

Try the airport pub next to 23R, you could order a couple of pints and literally walk out the back to do some virtual spotting. :joy:

I thought it was quite cool when I was at the spotters patch there and that Jet2 aircraft pulling up and taking off. Sometimes you just have to sit back and admire it all.

That bloke with the tripod was there this morning! :rofl:

Anyone know if it’s been released at Marketplace yet?

Nothing yet, a post on Discord (not sure if they are official) suggests 2 weeks after website release, just waiting for Asobo to pull the lever.

Cheers. Typically between two days and a week behind the official release with Ini, so fingers crossed for this Thursday!

I’ve seen some sunken buildings near one of the terminals-T2, I think.

I take it this will not work with 2020. Has anyone tried out of interest. I have the maccosim one but it is really dated now but still the best for 2020.I don’t want to move to 2024 just yet but wish EGCC was updated for 2020.

No chance with 2020, I’m afraid, as the SDKs just aren’t interchangeable. But the upcoming Aether version will be for both sims.

EGCC by Inibuilds is a great airport in many ways. But as with all current Inibuilds sceneries, the OLOD distance is really poor and not competitive with the most other top developers. The airport has so many great little details. But 800 metres before the runway, virtually all the parking spaces are empty and only fill up with cars when you are practically standing above them. If that is the only way to keep performance within limits, then in my opinion something is being done wrong elsewhere. Because many other similarly sized airports from other developers have a significantly better OLOD distance. For me, this is actually Inibuilds’ biggest weakness.

Edit: After reinstalling the scenery, the OLOD distance is now very good. This is therefore not a general problem with the scenery.

Strange. I have practically the same approach shot in this post and cars were visible to me. I think I have TLOD on 120 and OLOD on 150 and maybe crucially Dynamic FPS →OFF
