[Payware | WIP] VIDP – Indira Gandhi International Airport (New Delhi)

@DhruvSim I love this approach that you are taking by announcing on this forum and taking suggestions from the forum users. I wish more developers did this! This will be the first VIDP that doesn’t look like mashed potatoes (sorry, not sorry Feelthere) and I only have one question for you: will there be a detailed GSX profile available upon release? If you are not familiar with the software, you can ask one of the creators on Flightsim.to to do it for you (I believe Hinshee has done this before). Again, loving the work so far and I can’t wait to buy it when it’s finished!

Thanks! Glad you like the approach :slightly_smiling_face:

That’s exactly what I have planned. I’m not very familiar with how GSX works myself, so I’ll be collaborating with an experienced GSX profile creator. The intention is to have a GSX profile included at release.

Appreciate the support!

I have major payware such as GSX Pro, BeyondATC etc. Let me know if you need any help testing. I am also a regular at the airport, so I can help with realism too.

Thanks to you for making such an airport, which NO major developer got correct.

Hi - any updates here?

Hi, a lot of solid progress has been made over the past few weeks. The release is planned for March, as I’m taking some extra time to ensure it meets the high quality I originally envisioned.

I’ll be sharing new screenshots very soon to showcase the progress.

That’s really good news — looking forward to this!
I’m currently flying the A350 in A Pilot’s Life – Chapter 2 with British Airways, and my next scheduled sector is EGLL–VIDP. I’ve actually held off flying it because there hasn’t been a decent third-party VIDP available yet that really does Delhi justice.
Great to hear this is being built properly with long-term support and modern MSFS standards in mind — especially performance optimisation and the T3 interior. That’s exactly what this airport needs.
It hasn’t stopped me flying altogether (I’ve got a second licence running with another airline), but my BA Delhi flight is definitely on hold until this releases :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
Really looking forward to seeing the next screenshots — keep up the great work! Obviously its not grounded me.

Very much looking forward to this! Can I ask which stores are you thinking of releasing on? I use simmarket 9 times out of 10 but if it will launch on another store I’d be interested to know. Would much rather prefer a 3rd party store rather than marketplace only release. It’s always nice to have the simmarket installer download and install it for you rather than having to drag and drop :slight_smile:

Can’t wait to see the final product looking forward to it!

Thanks a lot, the plan is to release on flightsim.to and simmarket on day 1 and later on other 3rd party stores. So you will have the simmarket installer on release

I really want to thank you so much for taking this initiative and developing VIDP for the Public. These screenshots look lovely. I also hope you will be building proper parking’s and taxiway networks for air traffic as well? Looking forward to the release! This month gonna be exciting.
Thanks!

Thank you! Yes, the airport will have proper taxiways and parkings. Will share more updates as we get closer to release.

I want to help you with this scenery too! I can make the jetways properly animated and other stuff (in 3DS Max only).

Thanks for the offer, I really appreciate it! I could definitely use some help with jetways. I’ll send you a DM so we can discuss

You may want to improve the quality of vehicles and clutter in line with Mumbai payware. Ground clutter there is sharper and better in my opinion.

Thanks for the feedback, I’ll improve the ground vehicles and clutter

Happy to test this mate if you need beta testers @DhruvSim, I almost every day fly VHHH → VIDP

I don’t know if this info will prove useful but the benchmark for Indian airports right now is, I’d say, TaiModels Kempegowda and SkyMatrix’s Jaipur. If you can achieve quality along those lines, I think most of us would be very happy.
