Historic Kirkwall Airport - Scotland.
Kirkwall Airport (IATA: KOI, ICAO: EGPA) is the main airport serving Orkney in Scotland. It is located 2.5 NM (4.6 km; 2.9 mi) southeast of Kirkwall and is owned by Highlands and Islands Airports Limited. The airport is used by Loganair.
The airport was built and commissioned in 1940 as Royal Air Force Grimsetter , or simply RAF Grimsetter, for the defence of the Scapa Flow naval base. In 1943, the Royal Navy took over the airbase and it was known as Royal Naval Air Station Grimsetter, commonly referred to as RNAS Grimsetter, later commissioned as HMS Robin and used by the Fleet Air Arm. Control passed in 1948 to the Ministry of Civil Aviation and in 1986 to Highlands and Islands Airports.

Hello. This version is made in msfs2020 compatible with 2024, there is also a version made in 2024 that will be released soon when Microsoft enables the marketplace in msfs2024, this will be an update for those who have purchased in msfs2020. Regards
I just bought it on PC. Performance is sublime so I can’t see it troubling Xbox too much.
It’s a much nicer airport than I was expecting but there are a couple of issues: there are no parking spots available for the ATR 42/72, except on the military ramp and outside Loganair’s maintenance facility (FSLTL ATRs are being sent here — they should park on the main apron, in front of the terminal building). I don’t know how this is done but I believe by altering the size of the parking spots? The perimeter fence also doesn’t surround the entire airfield, though it is present in the most crucial areas. Would be nice to have it all-encompassing, though.
Finally, there’s currently no GSX profile so boarding/deboarding is a bit unrealistic.
Thanks for your comment. Regarding the parking zones, they are tailored for ATR aircraft. In any case, the parking areas will be enlarged further in the next update. It is also expected that the MSFS2024 ATC system will improve with SU2. Regarding the GSX profile, I don’t create profiles since the community of users of this program is allowed to create them as they wish. It should be published on community sites soon. If you use GSX and like its features, you can create your own profile for personal use. Best regards.
Thanks. I have FS2024 but am using your scenery in FS2020. The only other minor issue I noticed is the terminal landside frontage has no night-lighting… but maybe it doesn’t in real life?
Overall, a great little scenery. Good to know it will be updated soon.
