EGPE - Inverness Airport by Mango and Skybound Studios

Welcome to the Gateway to the Scottish Highlands!

Experience Inverness Airport (EGPE) like never before in X-Plane 12. Rebuilt from the ground up as an official collaboration between Skybound Studios and Mango Studios, this major V2 overhaul delivers next-generation detail, environmental immersion, and complete optimization for X-Plane 12’s modern rendering engine.

Situated at Dalcross, just 8 miles northeast of the city of Inverness, it is the ultimate hub for regional turboprops, helicopters, and short-haul commercial airliners like the A320 and B737. From challenging low-visibility coastal approaches to short-field regional hops across the UK and Europe, this scenery beautifully captures the true atmosphere of Northern Scotland.

Key Features:

• X-Plane 12 Native Optimisation: Re-engineered to leverage native volumetric weather, real-time rain shaders, and dynamic seasonal ground textures.
• High-Fidelity 3D Modelling: Fully custom, high-resolution airport buildings, hangars, and an updated main terminal layout.
  4K PBR Texturing:
• Ultra-detailed photorealistic ground surfaces with realistic dirt, wear, and runway grunge.
• Detailed Landside Areas: Includes detailed 3D modelling for the landside areas & surrounding industrial estate.
• Enhanced Regional Environment: Features dense 3D vegetation, hand-placed trees, and landside regional detail extending far past the airport boundary (including nearby houses, farms, and industrial parks).
• Bespoke Night Lighting: Custom, colour-accurate night-lighting models to make low-visibility evening approaches incredibly immersive.
• Optimised Performance: Carefully balanced to maintain excellent frame rates without compromising on visual depth or object density
