SoFly - Cardiff Airport MSFS

Visit the Capital of Wales with this all-new, highly realistic rendition of Cardiff Airport (EGFF / CWL). Situated in the south-west of the UK, this is a huge gateway to many parts of the world for over 4 million locals.

Every single detail has been crafted with care and attention to ensure that Cardiff Airport is faithfully represented in flight simulation. Experience completely custom and hand-crafted modelling and texturing that combines impressive PBR materials with skillfully made artwork. Each part of the main terminal building has been created with exquisite detail to provide unparalleled realism.

Whether you’re piloting a B737/A320 to take families away on much-deserved breaks or bringing in one of British Airways’ large jets into the lifelike BA maintenance hangar, Cardiff Airport caters to all types of simmers. If you are flying the B777-300ER in for its regular checks, check out the operational animated hangars throughout the day.

Developed for SoFly by the talented team at SkyHigh Studios, Cardiff Airport represents a leap in technology, utilising the latest tools to bring you impressive dynamic lighting, animated people in the accurate terminal building, and populated external areas. Not only that, but Cardiff Airport also showcases our first look at our new NxtGen Jetways - realistic and fully animated jetways that offer true realism.

If you’re looking for a regional airport in the UK that offers something new and different, then Cardiff Airport could be just for you.
