Expert Overview

This detailed X-Plane 11 rendition of EGPN Dundee Airport brings Scotland’s compact regional hub to life along the banks of the Firth of Tay, capturing both the city’s charm and marvelous coastal views. With carefully placed structures, a blend of custom 3D models, and ground textures from multiple libraries, it delivers an authentic aeronautical setting that highlights the airport’s history and proximity to iconic golf destinations like St Andrews.

Having tested it extensively, I find the mod offers a smooth experience and admirable realism, from the realistically modeled terminal to the eye-catching surrounding scenery overlooking the Tay Rail Bridge. Despite its compact size, this airport pack provides an engaging flight simulation environment for short hauls, VFR flights, or virtual sightseeing around a uniquely historic part of Scotland.

Dundee Airport is located 3 km (1.9 mi) from the centre of Dundee, Scotland or, for navigation purposes, 0.5 NM (0.93 km; 0.58 mi) south of the city. It lies on the shore of the Firth of Tay and overlooks the Tay Rail Bridge.

Airport terminal and plane with walking passangers. Dundee Airport is the closest airport to the championship golf courses at St Andrews, Gleneagles and Carnoustie. The airport was opened in 1963 on land reclaimed from the Firth of Tay. Originally it had a 900 m (2,953 ft) grass runway. The first scheduled air service began on 5 July 1966, with a service to Glasgow. A fortnight later a feeder service was added for Turnhouse and Prestwick. The service was stopped on 31 October 1967 after British Eagle reported 10,000 losses. Around this time the control of Dundee City Council changed from Labour to Conservative and the airport was closed and the land used by Dundee University as playing fields. When control of the Council changed back again to Labour the airport was reopened.

How to install this mod

X-Plane scenery

  1. Extract the downloaded archive

    Use 7-Zip (free) or WinRAR to extract the ZIP to a temporary folder. Don't install while still zipped — the simulator can't read inside ZIP files.

  2. Copy into Custom Scenery

    Place the scenery folder into X-Plane 12/Custom Scenery/.

  3. Set scenery load order

    X-Plane loads sceneries top-to-bottom from Custom Scenery/scenery_packs.ini. Custom airports should be ABOVE mesh and ortho-imagery.

  4. Restart X-Plane

    Close X-Plane completely and relaunch. The new content loads automatically.

  5. Always read the included readme

    Every mod ships with a readme.txt or README file. It tells you exactly where files go, what dependencies are needed, and any quirks specific to this add-on.
Still stuck? The readme included with the file is the authoritative source for this specific mod. Visit our Flight School tutorials or ask in our Q&A forum.
