Microsoft Flight Simulator marks the third platform for Pilot Plus to release Bristol, having previously released the airport for X-Plane and P3D. Be under no illusion that this release is a simple conversion though, with the airport receiving a huge overhaul to take advantage of all the MSFS offers.
New technology introduced with the platform allows the team at Pilot Plus to include an ultra-detailed terminal interior, full PBR utilisation and dynamic rain on terminal windows and the ATC tower.
Pilot Plus has been developing for Microsoft Flight Simulator since the platform’s release and the release of Bristol matches the high level of integrity put into developing their London Oxford Airport. The team’s earlier airports for the platform, all based within the UK include large hubs such as London Southend, to smaller GA fields like Wycombe Air Park. Pilot Plus’ full MSFS collection can be browsed on their website.
Here’s a summary of the features found in Bristol for MSFS:
- An ultra-realistic rendition of Bristol Airport
- Precise terrain of 1-metre resolution, inclusive of accurate runway slope
- Full high-resolution PBR implementation, from buildings to airside clutter and ground
