About This Content Close enough to see the ghost of Bonnie Prince Charlie at the 1746 site of the Battle of Culloden!Inverness Airport (EGPE) is situated at Dalcross, eight miles (13km or 7NM) north east of the city of Inverness, and is the gateway to the magnificent Scottish Highlands. Operated by HIA (Highlands and Islands Airports), the airport hosts a range of scheduled flights throughout the UK and into a few European destinations. Over half a million passengers on more than 15,000 scheduled flights a year use the airport. Originally it was used by the RAF in World War II and then opened for civil use in 1947. Since then it has had numerous carriers operating into the airport, which has been much developed.The SIM720 Inverness Airport download has been created as a replica of the real world site. The package includes a wealth of custom created and placed objects, and a high resolution ground polygon. In addition, the precision placement of runways and taxiways, and the custom night-lighting, provides incredibly realistic take-off and landing experiences.The Inverness Airport download has been designed for high compatibility and includes photo real blending with Default, Orbx FTX Scotland and Horizon. It’s also DX10 compatible.This add-on includes a separate configurator tool which enables you to configure settings such as AI traffic and scenery compatibility. This tool can be accessed in the Steam client under the Library/Tools menu.FeaturesPhoto-real layout and textures (25cm resolution within airport boundaries and 60cm resolution outside the boundaries)High-res ground polygonHand placed hi-res buildings within airport boundariesExtensive library of airport clutterAccurate taxiway lanesCustom made static aircraftCustom night-lighting and improved runway lights3D grassCompatible with Default, Orbx and Horizon 7aa9394dea Title: FSX: Steam Edition - Inverness Airport (EGPE) Add-OnGenre: SimulationDeveloper:SIM720Publisher:Dovetail Games - FlightRelease Date: 8 Jul, 2015 FSX: Steam Edition - Inverness Airport (EGPE) Add-On Patch how do i get a dash 8. Does not work straight after installation. Needs fiddling around with separate installer tool (Steam->library->tools->FSX sim720 tool) but even then the files seem corrupted, and loading the scenery in FSX stops after 6%. Not acceptable for payware DLC.. Nice Airport! Works fine as of 19\/9\/18, had to uncheck install check box and recheck again to get it to install. Enjoy!. This installed no problem and is a good representation of EGPE and the surrounding area. I guess the problems previously reported have been solved. I have this and the Stornoway addon which i bought together. However both add-ons rendered FSX un-useable. Im unable to load any flights. Stay clear until a fix is released.. This might be the greatest add-on ever, but since I can't get it to work, it's getting a thumbs down. In particular be aware that it comes with no instructions, so you've no way to find out what's going wrong if it doesn't "just work". Worst of all Dovetail (ie Steam) and SIM720 seem to be fighting a turf war over who should support this addon, since SIM720 say that if you buy from Steam it's up to Steam to support it. I contacted Steam who told me there was a fix, but that SIM720 would have to give it to me. Not good enough. I wish I could get my cash back, but for certain I'll never buy another SIM720 addon again.. The add-on appears to be down loaded to the libary but I was informed in PC Pilot mag; that the Inverness Airport would auto install to the game. If this is the case, nothing is changing when logged on to this Airport. Could I be informed how to install the Airfport Inverness in to the game as a problem seems to have happened on download. This is my first download from Steam and it may be my last.. This DLC has stopped FSX from working I get as far as the loading scenery objects information screen which then stays at 0%. A fix is needed, dont buy this!! The issue appears to be with the sim 720 lib folder. On my system it is located at steam\/steamapps\/common\/FSX\/DLC\/352184. However the config utility for sim 720 is looking for it at ..... FSX\/SIM720\/scripts\/custom.With the sim 720 lib folder disabled in scenery FSX works again. BUT if youre paying good money you shouldnt have to find this out the hard way or use a work around so you only get half of what youve paid for!!!. i bought this airport SIM720 EGPE inverness from steam over 18month ago , installed it, and my flight sim wont load up at all, run the config that came with it and errors, errors errors all the time, what am i doing wrong,ive used the DLC helper and even that doesnt work at all... i submited a ticket to SIM720, they passed me on to Dovetail games and gettin a runaround all the time.....ive attached just one of the many many errors. Very nice little airport. One thing that irks is the static aircraft. Following DTG policies, they have been stripped of their liveriesm, even though it's obvious what they are and a version of this product is available from Sim720 that features the liveries in all their glory.Here you can see my Feelthere E195 in Flybe livery, with the mysteriously incognito but obviously FLybe SAAB 340, The little logo free EasyJet Airbus and a Flybe Dash-8 visible just behind, also with defaced livery:http:\/\/steamcommunity.com\/sharedfiles\/filedetails\/?id=825401512You can see what the static aircraft should look like here:https:\/\/flight.sim720.co.uk\/images\/slides\/inverness_narrow_04.jpgSim720 seems to have taken some pains to be accurate as images from a Google search for Inverness airport quickly revals:https:\/\/www.pressandjournal.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2015\/02\/yh-Ness3.jpg It's a shame that Dovetail is following this policy that pulls a lot of pleasing detail out of the Steam versions of FSX add-ons.I really like the attention to detail that Sim720 have shown. When I taxied a Cessna way back into the hangers, I saw a little area of graffitti that gave that part of the scenery a very authentic feel.Since buying this DLC, Inverness has become one of my most visited airports in the UK. A low res view through the HUD of a Feelthere E195 on final approach to runway 05 at Inverness. The effaced static aircraft are visible to the left, along with a WOAI Flybe Dash-8, the one with identifiable markings.http:\/\/steamcommunity.com\/sharedfiles\/filedetails\/?id=825413381The overal detail of this image is lower than you might expect because I am running FSX on a Surface Pro 3 and have to trim things back in order to get workable frame rates.If I can get it working on my system with a reasonably nice add on aircraft and AI traffic, most people who can run FSX should have no trouble with it.
