New previews of Birmingham have been released by scenery developer Boundless.
They come after the airport was announced in early July of this year, and it appears as though a lot of progress has been accomplished since then.
Posted to x-plane.org, the new previews show the completed fire station as well as other angles of the airport.
Night lighting and PBR textures are other aspects that were said to be nearly done, as is the scenery as a whole.
“We are really close now! This is probably my last major update on progress before release – here we go!
“Completed the fire station, with partially modelled interior. If you look close enough, the pictures on the wall are actually of the Birmingham Airport fire crews!”
Moreover, Boundless gave Threshold a list of features that will be available in the scenery.
- Full PBR HD Ground textures
- Custom Terrain mesh including the iconic sloped runway
- Full PBR HD custom buildings
- Custom Road signs and lighting
- Fully accurate night lighting
- Includes NEC, Resorts world arena, nearby offices and warehouses
- Fully accurate ground markings, including accurately modelled cracks / wear & tear
- Static aircraft (optional)
- PBR water textures
- Partially modelled building interiors
- custom ground equipment

- All nearby hotels modelled
They also highlighted this should be the final set of previews prior to release, and are open to comments and suggestions on the x-plane.org forum thread.
As usual, Threshold will keep you informed of news from Boundless, including the release of Birmingham.
