MSFS Product Updates & News / Birmingham Airport for MSFS
Last post by Gary Summons - Aug 22, 2025, 08:42 AMBirmingham Airport For MSFS(EGBB) 2025 V1.0.0 22th August2025 **Released**
History:
V1.0.0 22rd August 2025
original
Youtube Video here:
Airport Overview:
Birmingham Airport is located in the West Midlands of England, roughly 8 miles southeast of the city centre. It serves as the UK's seventh busiest airport by passenger numbers, acting as a key hub for both domestic and international travel.
Airport History:
Birmingham Airport (formerly Elmdon Airport) officially opened on 8 July 1939, built on the site of the former Castle Bromwich aerodrome to replace the increasingly inadequate Elmdon airfield. During World War II, the airport was requisitioned by the Air Ministry and served as both an RAF and Royal Navy base—primarily used for flight training and aircraft production. Civilian operations resumed on 8 July 1946, exactly seven years after its opening. Following the war, Birmingham experienced steady commercial growth. In 1984, Terminal 1 was unveiled, followed by the addition of Terminal 2 in 1991, significantly expanding passenger handling capabilities. The two terminals were consolidated into one integrated terminal in 2011—creating today's configuration, featuring gates 1–20 in the old Terminal 2 and the rest in Terminal 1, linked via the Millennium Link. Infrastructure improvements continued into the 21st century—in 2014, major runway extension works concluded, stretching the primary runway 15/33 to 3,052 m (10,013 ft), enhancing the airport's capacity for handling larger aircraft and long-haul flights
Today:
EGBB handles over 12.8 million passengers per year (2024 data) and serves as a major base for airlines such as easyJet, Jet2.com, Ryanair, and TUI Airways
Navigation Details:
Runway 15/33: 3,052 m × 46 m (10,013 ft × 148 ft). ILS Frequency: Both Runways 15 and 33 share the ILS frequency of 110.10 MHz, with respective inbound course headings approximately 148° (RWY 15) and 328° (RWY 33)
Performance optimised:
This scenery is made with performance in mind. As such details you don't see from the cockpit of your aircraft while flying in and out are kept to a minimum. So don't except to walk through the terminal or other parts that can only be seen by slewing to other areas. I believe most flight simmers, fly in and fly out, and the want it to be smooth. Sacrifices have to be made to achieve this goal. If you want to explore the airport coffee shop or checkin, then this is NOT the product for you.
The scenery uses multiple 'LODs' for all the main objects, these lods levels have been made so you don't notice the change over much. This has been tested and developed in VR which is most noticeable platform for visually annoying LOD changes. Setting your FS object Level of details to 80 or higher is a good compromise. You can use 40+ in flat screen and you will not noticed big Lod changes to the models.

or at the Simmarket or The MS Marketplace. With a Introductory price of just 10.99

Legacy products for older Sims / Re: Common Issues
Last post by Gary Summons - Jun 18, 2025, 11:41 AMInstaller common library request
Often the old installers will ask for a specific common library version. Just ignore that. All you need to do is make sure you have the 3.74 version installed(the final version) If you get that request at the end of airport product installation, ignore and close it down.

MSFS Product Support / Re: EGJJ not showing up FS2024
Last post by Gary Summons - May 31, 2025, 04:19 PMYou make sure the product folder is in the 2024 community folder.
If you do that it will display. If not then it means the folder you think is the community folder is not correct.
You certainly don't rename any files.

Last post by James Brierley - May 30, 2025, 01:16 PMHi Gary,
Just an update on this, BRS are changing the apron layout (https://nats-uk.ead-it.com/cms-nats/export/sites/default/en/Publications/briefing-sheets/EG_2025_025.pdf). Will we be able to see this implemented soon?
Thanks,
James

MSFS Product Support / EGJJ not showing up FS2024
Last post by mikced 76 - May 28, 2025, 12:37 PMI cant et EGJJ to show up in FS2024 at all. I have the common libraries as well as the airport itself in the community folder.
Noticed in the: scenery/word/scenery folder the airport.bgl is actually named airport..bgl. Could this be a reason perhaps? I did try to change it manually though without much success

MSFS Product Support / Lost products
Last post by Gary Summons - May 09, 2025, 04:43 PMFor the past 15 years. All my direct sales have stressed the fact that you need to store your downloads.
Dispite this customers continue to expect life time cloud storage from me. Including somehow I know everything about them and can reissue products because they say they purchased it
I don't like pointing out common sense. But i can only reissue if the email you suplly has a record of that purchase/s. Or if you can provide a bank/card statement/payment email showing it. I cannot reissue unless one of those is true. Often customers don't even know if the purchase was from our site, or the other 3 resellers(MS marketplace, simmarket and flightsim.to) If you purchased from the resellers then it is they who can reissue, not us.
Addons can be easily copied and pirated. So please don't send a screenshot of an install folder or keycode, these are not proof of purchase. (keycode is generic)
You have 2 ways to reinstall.
1) Use your backup. Which of cause everyone should be doing.
2)You can use the "my purchases" link here.
https://www.uk2000scenery.com/php/index.php
Enter the email and if anything was purchased with that email, it will be sent to you.
If both can't be done, then sorry I can't help you. I have no way of verifing the purchase.
