Cardiff Airport for MSFS released by UK2000

UK2000 announced its newest airport for MSFS earlier this month and now, just a few weeks later, Cardiff Airport is ready to be purchased.

Cardiff Airport (EGFF) is the busiest in Wales, with more than 1.5 million passengers handled per year. Like many airports in Britain, Cardiff Airport has a history that dates back to World War II, when it played an important role in the war effort. After being left abandoned after the war, the site eventually became a commercial airport, a role that it has played ever since. Nowadays, Cardiff Airport serves not only international flights to several European destinations but also handles business and GA operations.

For this rendition of Cardiff Airport for Microsoft Flight Simulator, UK2000 makes use of photorealistic textures and highly detailed 3D models, in order to accurately recreate the overall scenery.

Furthermore, because of the possibilities enabled by the graphics engine in MSFS, the developer was able to implement a sloped runway and dynamic lighting effects. Static GA airplanes have also been added for improved immersion, and UK2000 says these won’t interfere with AI traffic in any way.

Cardiff Airport for MSFS is now available directly from UK2000, priced at £14.99.
