London City Airport- is it included in World Update #3?

It’s gonna be a while till I can check for myself :blush:

Just wondering if London City Airport is included/improved in this update.

It seems like a very interesting deal… the steep approach and procedures. Looking forward to practicing approaches in the Working Title CJ4 mod!

Microsoft has not released a list of airports that were tweaked, however, I can confirm it is not one of the new handcrafted airports, nor does it have a landing challenge. I am hoping we can get a list of airports that received logical updates over the next couple of days.

I don’t think they will ever release a handcrafted airports that are already released or currently in the works by third party developers.

Otherwise, that’s one way to lose trust from third-party partners where you’re giving a free update that will cannibalise the sales of payware airports.

Those are newly created bespoke airports, but I am fairly sure I saw a note somewhere that suggested they had made logical improvements to dozens more.

I’m not 100% sure on what constitutes a “logical improvements”, but if I were to guess it would include things like:

  • accurate taxiway designations
  • improved markings
  • gate layouts etc

I will see if I can get more information tomorrow.

Edit: For reference

Yeah exactly hence why they made the airports no one cares for xD

EGKA got tweaked, the Terminal Building/Tower now resembles something like the real life counterpart (if completely the wrong colour!) whereas before it was an office block, looks like the grass runway got tweaked as well alongside a few other bits.

I’ve bought the iniBuilds version but not checked it with this update yet.
