London City Airport Formally Debuted

After being hinted earlier in this year, Orbx’s first fully PBR airport is finally debuted. It will be Orbx’s first fully PBR airport for any sim, and is for both X-Plane and Prepar3D v4.

The airport will be London City (LCY) and will bring full integration with Orbx's earlier release of TrueEarth GB South.

There’s no info on release information or a price at this time. If you’d like to learn more about London City Airport by Orbx, check out the sneak preview they posted a few months back.
