Introducing Inverness Airport
Current Flagship Scenery
We are proud to announce the official release of Inverness Airport (EGPE) V2 for X-Plane 12. Rebuilt entirely from the ground up as an official collaboration between Skybound Studios and Mango Studios, this major overhaul represents the absolute best visual fidelity, optimization, and immersion we have to offer.
Situated at Dalcross, just 8 miles northeast of the city of Inverness, EGPE 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.
