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

- Fixed placement of models, placed new light masts, new markings

- GSX profile included

Bryansk Airport is an international airport of federal significance, located 14 km southwest of the city of Bryansk on the R-22 air route connecting Moscow with Kiev, as well as with Western Europe and the Middle East. It is the entrance and exit airport of Russia on south-western routes. Due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, from 03:45, February 24 to the present, a ban has been imposed on all flights from the airport.

 

 

 

Updated to version 3.0 of URRP Platov (Rostov-on-Don) for MSFS2020.
We adjusted the heights, updated the objects, added light, a fresh photo background, paved roads and poured water.
If you have the previous version installed, delete the urrp-ortho, xflight-materials and xflight-urrp folders from the Community folder. Then unzip the new archive into the same Community folder.

Platov Airport (IATA: ROV, ICAO: URRP) is the international airport of Rostov-on-Don, the successor to the old airport on Sholokhov Avenue. It is located 29 kilometers northeast of Rostov-on-Don in the Aksai district of the Rostov region, 15 km northwest of the city of Novocherkassk (4 km north of the village of Grushevskaya, near the federal highway M-4). It is named after the Cossack chieftain Matvey Platov.

The new Rostov airport was built in preparation for the 2018 FIFA World Cup. The first large airport built from scratch in the modern history of Russia, the largest in the Southern Federal District. The airport has been open for regular flights since December 7, 2017.

The airfield is approved to receive Airbus A310, Airbus A319, Airbus A320, Airbus A321, Boeing 737, Boeing 757, Boeing 767, CRJ, An-124, Il-62, Il-76, Tu-154, Tu-204 and all lighter aircraft, as well as helicopters of all types. Runway classification Number (PCN) 57/R/A/W/T, the runway is equipped according to ICAO Category II.

Well, the Dixon Airport scenario for the X-Plane did not take long to wait. 

By the way, from the news - all our stands are being transferred to X-Plane 12 and further all development will be carried out for this version of the X-Plane simulator. Yes, it is still far from the 11th version, but we think it's time! We hope no one was upset by this news. Whether the backward compatibility of versions 11 and 12 will be ensured - we hope that the scenes will work both ways, but time will tell.. We don't have any practice on this issue yet.

Have a good flight!

And here's our new script! So far, only for MSFS2020, but X-Plane will catch up soon too! 

Dixon is an airport in the Krasnoyarsk Territory, located 5 kilometers west of the village of Dixon on the island part of the village.

It accepts AN-3, AN-24, AN-26, AN-32, AN-74, Yak-40 and lighter aircraft, as well as helicopters of all types. Classification Number (PCN) RUNWAY 15/R/A/X/T.

The airport serves aircraft operating regular passenger and cargo charter flights, as well as flights to ensure high-latitude expeditions and to protect the state border. It was built in the 1930s, during the period of active development of the northern latitudes.

Since the autumn of 2010, the operation of the airfield runway has been suspended due to its poor condition, which has sharply hampered transport links between the village and other regions. Since December 2010, the airport has started accepting planes again.

Dixon Airport is a branch of the Federal State Enterprise "Airports of Krasnoyarsk Region".

In 2022, the modular airport building burned down in a fire. A new modular terminal has been operating since 2023. The historic building of the old terminal has also been preserved, but is no longer used for its intended purpose.

Norilsk (UOOO) for MSFS has been updated to version 4.0.
Integrated sim updates, turned on the lights, tweaked and made a small upgrade to the objects and environment.

Norilsk Airport or Nikolay Urvantsev Norilsk Airport, on the maps Alykel is an airport located in the north of the Krasnoyarsk Territory (south of the Taimyr Peninsula) thirty—five kilometers west of the city center of Norilsk. It has the status of a domestic airport and is a co-located airfield with the state aviation. It is equivalent to the conditions of the international (intersection of air routes: trans-Siberian and transatlantic). The official name is "Norilsk (Alykel)".

The airport is the only connection between the north of the Krasnoyarsk Territory and other regions of Russia, not counting navigation along the Yenisei River and the Northern Sea Route. It is connected to Dudinka and Norilsk by road.

The airport is often closed due to adverse weather conditions: strong crosswinds, snow drifts, icing of the runway, limited visibility, in summer due to fog.
