Today we present Izhevsk (USII) for MSFS2024.

Everything has been adapted to the new simulator, the markings, buildings, and most importantly, the new terminal in all its glory have been adjusted!

Izhevsk Airport (IATA: IJK, ICAO: USII) is the airport of the city of the same name, the capital of Udmurtia. It is located 15 kilometers east of the city center between the villages of Staroe Martyanovo and Novoe Martyanovo in the Zavyalovsky district of the republic. It has the status of an airport of federal significance. It serves only domestic passenger and cargo flights.

The operator and owner of the airfield is the airline Izhavia. In 2014, the airport's passenger traffic amounted to 254,918 people.

The Pirogovo sports airfield is also located near Izhevsk, along with Izhevsk Airport, which is the only operating civilian airport in Udmurtia.

Our hands are not for boredom, and the weekend was not spent in vain! This is a really great time to plunge into the world of virtual aviation. And, as always, the good news is that the Ufa Airport update for MSFS 2024 is now available! 

Imagine how pleasant it is to race in the sky over your native lands, admiring the familiar landscapes and new details added in the update. 

Ufa Airport (Bashkiria Ufa Airports; IATA: UFA, ICAO: UWUU) is an international airport of federal significance located in the picturesque city of Ufa, the capital of the Republic of Bashkortostan. For several years, more precisely in the period from 2012 to 2015, he held a leading position in terms of passenger traffic in the Volga Federal District, which was a significant achievement for this region. In addition, it is worth noting that the airport's quality management system has been certified according to the international standard ISO 9001:2008, which indicates the high security and service measures provided at all stages of passenger service.

Ufa International Airport also stands out because it became the first regional airport in Russia, which was able to confirm its compliance with the strict ISAGO (IATA Safety Audit for Ground Operations) production standards. This achievement highlights the high standards of safety and reliability applied at the airport, which in turn creates a positive experience for passengers traveling to different parts of the world.

Ufa as a city has its own unique atmosphere, and the convenient location of the airport makes it an important transport artery connecting various regions of Russia and abroad. Passengers can enjoy the comfort and convenience, as well as the variety of destinations offered from Ufa.

Hello everybody! Well, the big weekend is over, and we're back with you! We are pleased to present you the Arkhangelsk Airport update, created specifically for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. This update includes new textures, models, and detailing to make your flight experience even more realistic and immersive. Get ready for new adventures in the sky over Arkhangelsk!

The original name of Talagi was borne by two farms and a small village located in the Solombalsky volost of the Arkhangelsk district of the Arkhangelsk province.

Talagi airfield was built in the summer of 1942 under the leadership of GKO representative Ivan Dmitrievich Papanin as a military airfield with a runway made of wooden grilles filled with gravel.

It has been used as a civilian airport since 1963. The first types of aircraft to operate flights from the airport were Li-2, Il-14, An-24, Il-18 and Yak-40.

The 878th Fighter Aviation Regiment of the Kalinkovichi Order of Suvorov was stationed at the airfield from July 27, 1953 to July 01, 1960 on MiG-15 and MiG-17 aircraft before its disbandment.
518th Berlin Fighter Aviation Order of Suvorov Regiment (military unit 42192), which was part of the 10th Separate Air Defense Army (Arkhangelsk Air Defense Army). In October 1966, the 518th IAP was the first in the air defense forces to receive the Tu-128, in the 1980s the regiment was re-equipped with MiG-31 aircraft. In 1998, 518 iap was disbanded.

On June 22, 1999, a MiG-31 aircraft was permanently parked in Talazhsky Aviation city in memory of the regiment.

Since 1998, the 89th separate aviation unit of the 21st Air Defense Corps has been based at the airfield. From 2014 to the present, it has been transferred to the separate mixed aviation transport regiment of the Western Military District. It consists of 2 Mi-8MTV-5 and 2 An-26.

Since November 2009, the airport has been authorized to receive and ship Airbus A319 and Airbus A320 aircraft.

The reconstruction started in 2011. Reconstruction of the airport complex began with the participation of Lenaeroproekt. The work is being carried out in stages. The first stage involves the construction of an insert between the two terminals. On the ground floor of the new building, a modern arrival hall with a conveyor will be located on one side, and an international departure hall on the other.

The X-Flight team completed the development of the script for Ufa Airport, and this was a significant achievement, given that the work was carried out almost from scratch. The project required considerable effort and time, but the result met all expectations!

Developing an airport scenario is a complex process that requires taking into account many factors, such as the geography of the area, infrastructure features, climatic conditions and much more. The X-Flight team approached the task with full responsibility, carefully analyzing every aspect of the project.

Work on the scenario began with a detailed study of existing data on Ufa Airport. Maps, diagrams and other materials necessary to create a realistic model were collected and processed, even twice I had to fly and photograph everything that could catch my eye. 

Special attention was paid to the accuracy of reproduction of all objects on the territory of the airport. This made it possible to create a model as close to reality as possible, which will be useful both for pilot training and for conducting various simulations and tests.

The development process was not easy, but thanks to the professionalism and experience of the X-Flight team, excellent results were achieved. The new Ufa Airport scenario is already available to users and has received positive feedback from the virtual pilot community.

This project was another confirmation of the high level of skill of the X-Flight team and their ability to cope with even the most difficult tasks.

Ufa Airport is one of the largest international airports in Russia and the main air port of the Republic of Bashkortostan. The history of this airport dates back to the pre-war period:

Early years

In the 1930s, the construction of an airfield began in the Chernikovka area (now part of the city of Ufa). At that time, it was used mainly for the needs of civil aviation, and also served as a military base. The first regular flights began in 1938, when routes to Moscow and other major cities of the USSR were opened.

Development after the war

After the end of the Great Patriotic War, the airport began to develop actively. In the 1950s, a new runway was built, which made it possible to receive larger aircraft. During this period, the airport became an important transport hub for residents of Bashkiria and neighboring regions.

The modern stage

In the 1970s, a large-scale reconstruction of the airport began, which included the construction of a new passenger terminal and infrastructure modernization. As a result of these works, the airport was able to serve a larger number of passengers and flights.

In the 1990s, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the airport received international status and began to operate international flights. In the following decades, the development of the airport continued, including the expansion of terminals, improved service and an increase in the number of destinations.

Today Ufa Airport is a modern international airport capable of serving millions of passengers annually. It plays an important role in the development of the economy of the region and the country as a whole.

While we continue to work on Ufa airport, we were unexpectedly offered to take over the Izhevsk air harbor. 

We would like to say that it was easy, but in fact, the work on the whole scene was delayed, and as a result, a completely new script turned out. 

Work on the MSFS scene continues while an update for XPL is available.

However, developments are currently very active in this area, and the update to 2024 has added work on adapting old scenes. Izhevsk Airport (IATA: IJK, ICAO: USII) is an airport located 15 kilometers east of the center of the city of the same name, the capital of Udmurtia. It has the status of a federal airport and serves only domestic passenger and cargo flights.  The operator and owner of the airfield is the airline Izhavia. In 2014, the airport's passenger traffic amounted to 254,918 people.  There is a Pirogovo sports airfield near Izhevsk, which, together with the airport, is the only operating civilian airport in Udmurtia.

Well, work has been completed on a new, completely redesigned Ufa Airport scenario for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 (MSFS2020). This project was the result of long months of hard work by the x-flight team, who sought to create the most realistic and detailed model of one of the most important aviation hubs in Russia. The redesigned scenario includes many improvements and innovations that make flying in the virtual sky even more exciting. Now MSFS2020 users will be able to enjoy exact replicas of terminal buildings, hangars and other airport infrastructure facilities. Every detail is worked out with special attention to detail, which gives the scene additional depth and realism. In addition, the scenario takes into account the latest changes that have occurred at the real Ufa airport, including updated markings of runways and taxiways. This makes the flight even closer to real conditions and helps pilots to better navigate the terrain. But the most important thing is the atmosphere that the creators of the script managed to convey. Thanks to the high-quality textures and lighting, the airport comes to life on the computer screen, allowing players to feel like real pilots flying in one of the largest cities in Russia. And this is just the beginning! Active work is already underway on a version of the scene for the X-Plane simulator, which will allow even more aviation enthusiasts to appreciate all the advantages of the new scenario. It is expected that the release of the X-Plane version will take place in the near future, and then fans of both simulators will be able to enjoy the flight to Ufa in any of their favorite applications. So hold on tight to the steering wheel, because exciting adventures are waiting for you in the sky over Bashkiria!

Nikita Lukashov updated the script of Bryansk. The updated version is already available on our website.

List of updates:

- Added a photo background for 2023

- Runway, taxiway, and apron textures have been replaced with their own ones
