About Inverness Airport (EGPE)
Situated at Dalcross, 8 miles north-east of Inverness, Inverness Airport serves as the primary gateway for air travelers to the Scottish Highlands. Operating scheduled regional flights across the United Kingdom as well as seasonal routes into continental Europe, the airport welcomes over 800,000 passengers annually.
Developed through a joint collaboration between Skybound Studios and Mango Studios, this project represents a complete visual and technical rework of EGPE tailored specifically for X-Plane 12.
The scenery brings high-fidelity 3D modeling to the terminal buildings, surrounding hangars, landside infrastructure, and local industrial parks. High-resolution PBR surface textures combined with custom ground weathering layers ensure the field feels grounded, realistic, and fully integrated into the surrounding Scottish countryside.
