Makhachkala (Uytash) Airport Upgrade (URML) for X-Plane 12

 We have released an updated version of one of the most colorful airfields in the North Caucasus — Makhachkala (Uytash) International Airport named after twice Hero of the Soviet Union Amet Khan Sultan (ICAO: URML). The new scenario, fully optimized for X-Plane 12, recreates Dagestan's air harbor with unprecedented accuracy and is already available for download on our website.

Located 16.2 km from the capital of Dagestan and 4.5 km from Kaspiysk, Uytash Airport (translated from Kumyk as "Stone House") plays a key role in the transport system of the entire North Caucasus region. After the reconstruction of 2014-2017, the airfield received the status of one of the few in the south of Russia capable of receiving wide—body airliners - Boeing 767 and Airbus A330. Now, in the simulator, pilots can practice landing on these aircraft in conditions as close to reality as possible.

A story in every pixel

The scenario reflects the almost century—old history of the airfield: from the 1927 "air station" on the Moscow-Tiflis highway to the modern hub of federal significance. Special attention is paid to the heyday of Dagestani aviation in the 1960s, when An-2 aircraft created "the densest network of air lines in the country," transporting up to 1,000 passengers daily along mountainous routes. In 1999, the airport became a strategically important point during the anti-terrorist operation, receiving up to 70 IL-76 and AN—22 military heavy-cargo aircraft daily - this historical feature is also reflected in the landscape design of the scenario.

Astrakhan Airport (URWA) update for X-Plane 12 is already on the website!

For all fans of the X-Plane 12 flight simulator, the long—awaited update of one of the key airfields in southern Russia, Astrakhan International Airport named after B. M. Kustodiev (ICAO: URWA), has been released. The new version of the script is fully adapted to the capabilities of the modern simulator and is available for free download on our website.

Why Astrakhan?
Astrakhan Airport (formerly Narimanovo Airport) is a strategically important federal hub in southern Russia. Located 8 km from the city center, it is capable of receiving a wide range of aircraft, from regional turboprop aircraft ATR—42 and Sukhoi Superjet 100 to large-capacity airliners Boeing 747 and Il-96. Thanks to the updated scenario, pilots will be able to practice landing in ICAO Category I weather conditions (visibility 800 m, cloud height 60 m) at a Class B airfield.

Historical background in detail
The scenario takes into account the rich history of the airfield: from the transfer of the former Stalinsky military airfield to civil aviation in 1945 to the reconstruction in 2010, when the runway was brought up to modern standards.

Updated the Magas Airport (URMS) scene for X-Plane 12: accurate reconstruction of Ingushetia's air harbor
We are pleased to present the renovation of Magas Airport named after the first Hero of Russia, General S. S. Oskanov (ICAO code: URMS). The new version of the scene offers simulator pilots the most reliable reconstruction of the only civilian airport in the Republic of Ingushetia, taking into account modern visualization standards and simulator functionality.

The updated scene recreates the key facilities of the airport, located in the valley of the Sunzha River on the border of the Sunzha urban district and the Sunzhensky district.:

- A Class B runway measuring 3,000 × 46 meters with a cement-concrete coating (MK 90-270) and the correct classification number PCN 39/R/B/W/T;
- Four parking spaces for aircraft, including the possibility of accommodating Boeing 737-800 and IL-76;
- Passenger terminal with customs and border control areas, VIP lounge for official delegations;
- A command and control center, an emergency rescue station and a fuel depot;
- Taxiways connecting the runway to the apron;
- MiG-29 fighter monument on the forecourt in memory of Aviation Major General Sulambek Oskanov.

Special attention is paid to the landscape environment: the airport is correctly located 30 km northeast of the capital of the Republic of Magas and the city of Nazran, with a study of the relief of the Sunzha Valley and adjacent settlements.

Historical significance in digital format
The scene reflects the history of the development of Ingushetia's air harbor: from the first flight of the Yak-40 in January 1993 to the acceptance of the Boeing 737 by UTair in 2011 and the renaming of the airport in honor of General Oskanov in 2012. For flight simulation enthusiasts, this is an opportunity to "pilot" in a region that plays an important role in the transport infrastructure of the North Caucasus.

Technical improvements to the X-Plane 12 version
The update includes:
- Increased textural detail of runway and apron coverings, taking into account the features of the cement-concrete web;
- A correct navigation database with up-to-date coordinates and magnetic courses;
- Improved runway and apron lighting for night operations;
- Optimization of polygons for stable operation on a wide range of PC configurations;
- Support for modern X-Plane 12 shaders for realistic rendering of lighting and weather conditions.

Magas Airport is capable of handling up to five aircraft per hour and receiving passenger traffic of up to 150 people per hour, which opens up opportunities for practicing procedures for domestic and international flights in the simulator.

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.
