UK2000 has just released its latest airport add-on for Microsoft Flight Simulator, bringing the vibrant and historically rich Cornwall Newquay Airport (EGHQ) to the platform. Located in the picturesque county of Cornwall, UK, this airport is a busy hub for commercial aviation and aerospace innovation.
With its proximity to the coastal town of Newquay, the airport offers a gateway to one of England’s most beloved tourist destinations, providing convenient access to Cornwall’s beautiful beaches, rugged cliffs, and charming villages.
UK2000’s latest scenery package offers a comprehensive upgrade to the default MSFS representation. It portrays the modern commercial facility while paying homage to its rich military heritage.
Highlights of the release include detailed buildings, realistic ground markings, and high-resolution ground textures that aim to capture the essence of the airport’s surroundings. Simmers will also find realistic night lighting, detailed airport vehicles and static aircraft, and a full set of accurate signage throughout the airport.
Performance hasn’t been overlooked, with the developer promising excellent frame rates.
UK2000’s release comes at an exciting time for Cornwall Newquay Airport, coinciding with its recent designation as the site for Spaceport Cornwall. While the scenery doesn’t explicitly model future spaceport facilities, it provides an excellent base to explore this evolving aerospace hub.
If you’re looking to expand your collection of custom airports in the UK, especially following the recent release of the excellent World Update 17, UK2000’s rendition of Newquay Airport may be a great choice. Check it out on simMarket, where it’s available for just under €20.00.
