Pilot Plus

Pilot Plus revealed that extensive work for London Wycome Airpark had been undertaken to bring it to Microsoft Flight Simulator. As of today, the airfield not far from London has been released.

Wycombe Air Park from Pilot Plus features PBR materials, detailed 3D modelling and plenty of other small details that Pilot Plus is known for with their airfield releases. The scenery introduces dynamic rain hitting the glass of the air traffic control tower. As shown in the video, when the rain comes pouring down on the glass (not uncommon in the UK…), the water will land, roll and bounce realistically off of the surface. You can see the feature in action in the video below.

You can buy Pilot Plus London Wycombe for Microsoft Flight Simulator from OrbxDirect $18.99 AUD (approximately US$13.88 | €11,72 | £10.68).

It will also be released through the Microsoft Flight Simulator Marketplace and also the Pilot Plus shop come October. Those customers who have purchased Wycombe Air Park before will receive a 25% discount (although it’s unclear if that applies to all stores or just selected ones).

Following on from their original X-Plane 11 release, Pilot Plus will be bringing London Wycombe Air Park to Prepar3D. The small announcement was initially made via their blog confirming that development is underway.

The airport sits in Buckinghamshire, giving instant access to some stunning countryside as you take off from the airport. The team has spent time at the airport gathering real-world data to be able to faithfully recreate the airport within the simulator. Based on their X-Plane 11 release, expect PBR objects, plenty of surrounding imagery and numerous VFR landmarks to assist with your piloting around the airport.

No other details were shared at this time, but we’ll keep you updated. This is the second airport in Prepar3D from Pilot Plus following their Bristol Airport (EGGD) release from last month.
