Explore the breathtaking realm of Tromsø’s Langnes Airport (ENTC) in this freeware scenery built for the new Microsoft Flight Simulator, covering both the 2020 and 2024 releases. This add-on combines meticulous 3D modeling, specialized PBR surfaces, and immersive environmental details to bring northern Norway’s well-known aviation gateway to life.

Highly Detailed Airport Structures

Image shows control tower and buildings at Tromso airport in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 after installing this freeware mod.Tromsø Airport, often identified by its Langnes designation, is set just a few kilometers from the city center nestled deep within the Arctic. This scenery replicates significant terminal elements, including the older section’s interior—complete with accurately modeled fixtures—and introduces updated windows and materials on the exterior. Although certain existing buildings in the real-world complex are slated for removal, they have also been excluded here for a forward-looking representation. Furthermore, newly added garage tents reside along the southern apron, while additional custom structures appear close to Runway 18 to accurately match current charts.

Realistic Runway and Lighting Features

The northern approach to ENTC sees frequent winter operations, and this project includes visible snow during the colder months. Runway and taxiway lighting correspond with the AIP guidance, offering illuminating elements for precise night and low-visibility arrivals. The developer, artogsta, has refined terrain transitions to ensure smooth performance in both Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024. Moreover, the runway markings have received a resolution boost to maintain clarity, especially on the updated platform.

Animated Gates and Parking Updates

Multiple gates—such as 18, 19, and 20—feature animated jetways for seamless docking. Meanwhile, gates 21 through 23 temporarily operate as standard parking positions pending further refinement. Freshly introduced spots, including Parking 55, 56, and 57, comply with the most recent AIRAC data. These changes align with new amendments in airport charts, ensuring flight planners adhere to correct parking and gate assignments.

Immersive Surroundings and Winter Enhancements

To capture the dramatic atmosphere of Norway’s Arctic region, the scenery integrates the Kvitfjell-Raudfjell Windfarm, plus carefully placed blooming light effects around terminal structures for accurate nighttime visuals. Snow textures adorn the runway and ramps during winter, reflecting the unique challenges of operating in sub-zero conditions. Among the peaks near Tromsø stands the Lyngen peninsula, reaching 1,833 meters in elevation—renowned for skiing and alpine tours.
