Friends! We are glad to present you the big upgrade of Murmansk Airport! A version for X-Plane 12 is still available, but soon we will make a version for MSFS 2024! We promise!!!

Murmansk Airport: a gateway to the Arctic with a rich history and a modern future

Located just 4 kilometers southwest of the village of Murmashi in the Kola Region, Murmansk Airport is not just a transport hub in the far northwest of Russia, but an essential element of the Arctic zone infrastructure. Its strategic position, historical significance and rapid modernization make it one of the most interesting regional air terminals in the country.

We are proud to present the new scenario of Gorno-Altaysk Airport (UNBG) for the X‑Plane 12 flight simulator. The project recreates one of the key transport hubs of the Altai Republic, taking into account its rich history and modern appearance.

Gorno-Altaysk Airport was built in 1968 and during Soviet times provided regular flights to the settlements of the Gorno-Altaysk Autonomous Region, as well as to Semipalatinsk, Barnaul and Novosibirsk. After the collapse of the USSR, the airport was forgotten for many years: from the early 1990s until 2011, there were practically no passenger flights. The nearest airport terminal was in Barnaul, more than 250 km from Gorno-Altaysk.

The revival began in 2007, when a plane from Moscow (Siberia Airlines, now S7 Airlines) arrived here for the first time in a decade. Since 2010, Angara Airlines has restored regular flights to Novosibirsk. In 2011, after a large-scale reconstruction carried out by JSC Sibmost by order of FSUE Civil Airports Administration, the airport reopened as a year-round and all-weather airport with a capacity of up to 200 passengers per hour.

Since then, the airport has become an integral part of the region's tourism infrastructure, especially in the absence of rail links. His contribution to the growth of the tourist flow is invaluable: if 1.35 million tourists visited the Altai Republic in 2011, then by 2017 this figure exceeded 2 million people.

In 2016, the airport received the status of a federal airport, and in 2018 it became the "Best Airport of the Year in the CIS countries" among facilities with passenger traffic of up to 100,000 people per year.

New milestones have come quite recently: in April 2024, Sberbank became the sole owner of the airport, having bought 60% of shares from AFK Sistema. The bank has announced plans for a complete renovation and expansion of the facility. And already in March 2025, the airport received international status, and on July 24 of the same year, an international terminal was opened there.

The scenario for X‑Plane 12 reflects the current state of the airfield, taking into account the reconstructed runway, the modern terminal and the detailed surrounding area, including the picturesque landscapes of Altai. This is not just an airfield, it is the entry point to one of the most amazing regions of Russia.

The script is available for download on our website. Enjoy your flights and successful landings!

Happy New Year, aviation enthusiasts and virtual pilots!

May every takeoff be smooth, every approach stable, and every landing perfect! May the skies above you always remain clear, turbulence avoided, and your onboard systems operate without a hitch—just like in a simulator at maximum settings!

I wish your dreams soar above the clouds, and reality gives you the same adrenaline rush as a virtual flight in your favorite flight simulator. May 2026 be a year of new routes, rare liveries, precise ILS procedures, and, of course, endless inspiration from the greatness of aviation!

Happy New Year, clear skies, and full tanks—fuel, joy, and good luck!

Syktyvkar Airport Named After Pyotr Istomin Now Available in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024!

You can now virtually approach and land at one of the northernmost airports in European Russia, soaring over endless taiga and touching down near the foothills of the Urals. The airport has been recreated with impressive detail, including its modern terminal, runway, and surrounding infrastructure—such as the adjacent hotel and bus stops.

Special attention has been paid to its historical significance: in the simulator, the airport appears under its full honorary name — “Syktyvkar Airport named after Pyotr Istomin”, honoring the first Komi aviator and WWII hero.

Add UUYY to your flight plan and embark on an unforgettable virtual journey into the heart of the Russian North!

Elishta Airport (URWI) Update for X-Plane 12: Enhanced Accuracy, Realism, and Detail

Flight simulators are getting ever closer to reality—and the latest update for Elista Airport (URWI) in X-Plane 12 is a perfect example. This regional airfield, located in the capital of Kalmykia, has been revitalized thanks to the dedication of enthusiasts and developers committed to achieving maximum authenticity in the virtual skies.

What’s New?

• Updated runway and taxiway geometry, aligned with current aeronautical data.

• Realistic ground textures accurately reflecting the region’s distinctive steppe landscape.

• Highly detailed terminal building and apron, faithfully recreated to match the airport’s modern appearance.

• Precise runway lighting and approach lights, compliant with ICAO standards.

• Full support for night textures and PBR materials, greatly improving visual fidelity at any time of day.

• Various issues from previous versions have been fixed, including misplaced objects and discrepancies in the airfield layout.

Why Does It Matter?

Though not among Russia’s busiest hubs, Elista Airport plays a vital role in connecting southern Russia. It handles scheduled passenger flights (including charters to popular resorts) as well as specialized operations—from air ambulance services to aerial patrols over the steppes. Now, X-Plane 12 pilots can confidently include URWI in their flight plans, knowing they’re flying into a meticulously crafted and accurate representation of a real-world airfield.

The scenario of Ulan-Ude (UIUU) Baikal airport available for X-Plane 12!

Good news for virtual pilots and fans of Siberian aviation: a detailed scenario of Baikal International Airport (Ulan-Ude), one of the key air hubs in Eastern Siberia, is now available in X-Plane 12!

The airport is located just 15 km west of the center of Ulan-Ude and 75 km from Lake Baikal. Since 2017, it has had the fifth degree of freedom of the sky, which allows it to accept international transit flights, and from the end of 2024, it will serve passengers in a new modern terminal built with the support of VEB.Russian Federation and designed for 400 passengers per hour.

The history of the Ulan-Ude air harbor dates back more than a hundred years: the first planes landed here back in 1925, and regular flights to Ulaanbaatar opened in 1926. Since then, the airport has been upgraded several times, from a concrete runway in 1971 and receiving Tu—154 aircraft in 1981 to the construction of a second runway in 2018 for 4 billion rubles. Today, it is capable of receiving any type of aircraft, including long-haul airliners, and serves as an important communication point for remote areas of Buryatia.

Now you can experience all this history and modernity in X-Plane 12! The script recreates:

- both runways with precise markings and modern lighting equipment,
- new terminal in 2024,
- realistic navigation and airfield infrastructure,
- surroundings with views of Selenga and the remote foothills of Lake Baikal.

Get ready to fly on routes that once connected Moscow with Vladivostok, Irkutsk with Chita, and today connect Ulan-Ude with Novosibirsk, Seoul, Bangkok and other points in Asia and Europe.

Welcome to Baikal airport, where history meets the sky!
