I was just wondering if Feelthere could comment on what changes were made to EGKK in the just released update (just heard about it via email newsletter), and also to KSFO in its last update. I am always happy to see improvements and fixes taking place, but it would be very nice to know exactly what they are?

Wait EGKK was released? I know @ATControl -- Joe mentioned in his video that they were planning to come out with an SP but didn't have an exact date of it being released.

For those in a hurry...

London Gatwick (EGKK) Service Pack 1 (SP1) Updates

(Thanks to the developers!  Keep up the good work!)
(Thanks to ATControl for the video and folks should really watch the video for tips as well!)

Nine basic item updated:

1. Cosmetic updates to gate connections to make sure that jet bridges connect properly to aircraft.
2. Fixed taxi issue where aircraft would taxi south on TWY P and then stop at the intersection of TWYs P and AS for RWY 26L.
3. Fixed taxiway connection issues at TWY K to TWY P and TWY P to TWY J
4. Fixed Gates 13, 15, 17, and 19 within Pier 2 which is bordered by TWYs K, N, and J in the South Terminal Area so that aircraft will now push correctly off of the gates.
5. Fixed Gates 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, and 27 in the Pier 2 area.  These gates are typically used for heavy aircraft.  The gates were coded incorrectly and have been fixed to support heavy aircraft.  Helps to eliminate "no free terminal" message due to the lack of parking for heavy aircraft.
6. Fixed the South Terminal circular Pier 3 Gates 31 through 38 which run clockwise from TWY K to TWY KA to TWY L so they are coded for heavy aircraft.
7. Update to liveries only, no aircraft,  Watch the video from time 11:30 through time 16:18 to see which liveries that Nyerges updated.
8. Major item: RWY 26R has been enabled for departures.  You will not be able to use 26R for heavy aircraft departures.  Additionally, aircraft taxiing from RWY 26L will cross RWY 26R so be careful.  Hold bars have also been installed on TWYs R, Q, and C.
9. Major Item: Fixed South Terminal Pier 1 Gates 1 through 5 so that all gates can be used.  The Pier 1 gates are located next to TWYs W and V east of RWY 26L

Have fun!

what aircraft type does sun country have that has the more white looking livery. in all my airport the livery that Sun Country has is the blue ones only for some reason.

I don't think Sun Country would fly into Gatwick so I assume this is on the wrong thread
