A long-awaited update has been released for the X—Plane 12 flight simulator - Yuri Gagarin Airport, located in the Saratov Region, is now available. The construction of the airport began in 2007 and took place in stages until the opening in 2019.

The airport was built in the village of Saburovka, 50 kilometers from the center of Saratov, to replace the old Saratov Central airport, which was closed for security reasons. The project included a complex of engineering structures and infrastructure capable of receiving aircraft of any type due to modern runway coverage characteristics.

The simulation object reproduces in detail the real situation of the airport, including the terminal building, taxiways, aprons and all necessary infrastructure.

Ulyanovsk Airports have received an update for the X-Plane 12 simulator!

Good news for fans of virtual flights and fans of aviation simulators! Both of Ulyanovsk's main airports are now available in the popular X-Plane 12 flight simulator.

What's new?

Now fans of flight simulation will be able to enjoy realistic simulation of the two main airports of Ulyanovsk.:

Ulyanovsk-Barataevka International Airport, famous for its rich history and modern equipment, is ready to welcome virtual pilots. This airport accepts aircraft of all classes and is capable of handling international flights.
Ulyanovsk-Vostochny Airport, famous for its huge runway length, has become available for download. Thanks to this, players will have a unique opportunity to feel like pilots of huge Boeing-777 or Airbus A320 aircraft.
The updated airport models are detailed down to the smallest details of the infrastructure, including landing strips, aprons, terminals and even the surrounding landscapes.

A bit of history
Ulyanovsk-Barataevka Airport
This airport was opened in the first half of the 20th century and played an important role in the development of civil aviation in the USSR. Today, it continues its work and serves as an important transportation hub, receiving aircraft of various classes and models.

Highlights of the story:

It was founded in 1924.
The modern terminal began operating in the 1970s.
It is named after the famous Russian historian Nikolai Karamzin.
Ulyanovsk-Vostochny Airport
is located next to the Aviastar plant, this airport was originally created as a test base for the development of new aviation technologies. Over time, it has become an important hub for international aviation due to its long runway and well-developed infrastructure.

Interesting facts:

The length of the runway reaches 5 kilometers, which makes it possible to receive the largest aircraft in the world.
It received the status of an international airport at the end of the 20th century.

These new scenarios will allow users to experience the atmosphere of a real flight over the urban landscapes of Ulyanovsk, get acquainted with a detailed model of local airports and test their skills in controlling different types of aircraft.

X-Plane 12 users will be able to download both scenarios for free directly from the website by going to the airport data downloads section (Volga Region).

Welcome to the sky of Ulyanovsk!

A completely updated scenario of Spichenkovo Airport (UNWW) has been released for X-Plane 12

Novokuznetsk, Kemerovo Region — We have released a large-scale scenario update for Novokuznetsk-Spichenkovo International Airport (ICAO code: UNWW) for the popular X-Plane 12 flight simulator. The new version is actually a newly created airfield complex with a detailed terminal model, modern tactile runway markings and improved texturization of the territory.

Spichenkovo is a key air hub in the south of Kuzbass, located 20 kilometers west of the center of Novokuznetsk in the Prokopyevsky district. The federal airport serves passenger flights to Krasnoyarsk, Novosibirsk and other cities of Siberia, and since 2012 it has had international status (the first foreign flight to Bangkok was performed in December of the same year). In 2018, the airport was named after twice Hero of the Soviet Union, cosmonaut pilot Boris Volynov.

The new scenario recreates the infrastructure of the aerocomplex in accordance with modern realities: a terminal designed to serve 200 passengers per hour, a 97-seat hotel, a business class lounge, a guarded parking lot and service facilities. Special attention is paid to the 2,680-meter—long runway, the main artery of the airport, built in 1985 and hosting aircraft up to the Tu-154 class.

We aimed not just to update the textures, but to completely rebuild the airport, taking into account current satellite data and photos from the site. The new layout meets the requirements of ICAO, and the architecture of the terminal reflects its actual proportions and details.

Historical background: the modern airport in the area of the village of Spichenkovo began operating in 1968, replacing the airfield of the Novokuznetsk Aviation Enterprise, founded in 1952, which was previously based in Abagura. Since then, Spichenkovo has become the center of air traffic in the south of the Kemerovo region, connecting Kuzbass with Moscow, the Far East and the resorts of the Black Sea region.
The script is available for download on popular flight simulation content platforms. The update is compatible with the latest version of X-Plane 12.

Finally, the long-awaited update — Volgograd International Airport (Gumrak) is now available for the X-Plane 12 simulator.

The airport, located in the Gumrak neighborhood of the Dzerzhinsky district of Volgograd, just 15 kilometers from the city center, has a rich history: it was originally a military airfield built in 1940 and was actively used during the Battle of Stalingrad. Since 1952, Gumrak has been operating as a civil airfield, and since the 1990s as an international airport of federal significance under the management of JSC Volgograd International Airport.

The new version for X-Plane 12 recreates the airport complex, runway, taxiways and surroundings with high precision, taking into account the modern infrastructure of the facility. The model also reflects the geographical location of the airport in the north-west of the city, which allows pilots of virtual flights to experience realism during arrivals and takeoffs in the southern region of Russia.

For fans of aviation history, it is especially interesting that until 1974 there was another airfield in Volgograd, Voroponovo, which served local air lines. And in 1991, the Gumrak base housed a large Volgograd united aviation detachment, which included dozens of An-2, Tu-134, Yak-40 and Yak-42 aircraft.

The updated airfield is already available for download in the relevant sections of the X-Plane 12 modifications. This is a great opportunity not only to test your piloting skills, but also to take a virtual trip to one of the key transport hubs in Southern Russia.

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!!!
