Accuracy
Incredible accuracy of all buildings included thanks to most recent LiDAR scans of the area, particularly the passenger terminal that is accurate almost down to the last centimetre. (Apart from sensitive (security/customs) areas and other certain parts of the structure).
Landside
It’d be a crime to not include the absolutely amazing landside areas of the airport – the tram station, new taxi/bus terminal extension, multi-storey car park, car rental centre and many more, it’s all there, just as detailed as airside.
Archimedes Screw
A distinctive feature of the airport, the Archimedes Screw drainage system, one of the earliest hydraulic water pumps invented by man, accurately recreated and animated.
Clutter
Finely detailed ground clutter scattered all around the airport with unique vehicles and ground equipment to make the place truly come to life, custom made vans, tugs, trucks, vans, containers and many more.
GSX
A bespoke GSX Profile made by Will Hinshaw using all the latest features of GSX for MSFS, including dynamically operated Gate Doors for PAX boarding.
Tower
Last but not least, the icon, the legend, the Edinburgh Airport Tower. Modelled with no detail to spare. Chef’s kiss — color-changing LED lights to celebrate/commemorate a date, those include:
- March 17th - St. Patrick's Day
- November 11th - Remembrance Day
- November 30th - St. Andrew's Day
- December 9th to January 5th - Christmas Holidays

Amazing detail where its required and plenty more.
Compliments the recent Edinburgh photogrammetry update perfectly.

The scenery itself is wonderful. The textures are very high quality, the ground markings are accurate and look very appealing - I could go on, there's nothing about this airport that I can physically find anything to complain about, even the GSX Profile made by Hinshee works amazing and completely flawlessly.
The performance is pretty good too, especially for a scenery of this level of detail. While connected to VATSIM with around 40 aircraft at the airport (something which has driven me down to 5 FPS at both EGKK sceneries available) I was achieving approximately 25-40 FPS - without VATSIM or FSLTL, I was achieving approximately 45-65 FPS, which is very acceptable with my system specs (RTX 3060 / 11th-generation i9).
I'm fully serious when I say I believe Pyreegue is THE BEST scenery developer in any consumer entertainment flight simulator we've ever seen. If you like this, you'll love Aldergrove, Glasgow, and especially East Midlands.
Certainly worth the price. 10/10. 5 Stars

Crisp textures, fantastic interior and exterior model, accurate ground markings, detailed runway - the list goes on and on.
Easily the best scenery I've ever spent money on. Oh and WHSmith (several)
