Orbx Indie developer Marcus Nyberg, in collaboration with Jetstream Designs, brings you ESSA Stockholm-Arlanda Airport for Microsoft Flight Simulator.

Stockholm-Arlanda Airport is the larger of Stockholm’s two airports and is the busiest in Sweden. Arlanda is the gateway to Stockholm, ‘the capital of Scandinavia’, and is Sweden’s largest airport with over 70 airlines serving routes to over 170 de … read morestinations worldwide. Along with 26 million passengers passing through the airport each year, Arland also performs as an important cargo hub.

Once again Marcus does not disappoint with his latest project for MSFS which showcases his texture wizardry and expert modeling. A host of new, unique GSE vehicles and clutter can be found across the airport along with custom animated traffic adjusting for time of day and weather. And during the winter months, you can experience the Nordic chill in the air with the 3D-modelled snow banks that accumulate at the taxiway edges.

Focused on bringing a true-to-life airside experience, in collaboration with ground staff at the airport we have ensured to add even the smallest details you would find in real life.

  1. Can this automatically load prior to the asobo essa and disable it? Or do i need to manually delete the asobo one?

  2. After sim update 14 it is not simply crashing, but reseting my pc like hell. I removed it and tested a new release from yesterday (KLAS) and was no error, I could fly without issues.

  3. What is the story with this VDGS system? I have asked about how to get this working before and get no answer and I have seen other on here asking the same question with no answer. Why is that? And yes I read and followed the directions given here vdgs.nool website. What’s the deal?

      1. No I do not run gsx. I’m still waiting for sp to come through with it so I can test it But it doesn’t look like that is going to happen. I’ve never been able to get the vdgs system to work and no one on this site seems to ever want to answer with the solution on how to get it working.

  4. From a pilots perspective this airport layout is strange, and maybe even a bit in efficient. From a passengers perspective, the terminal is really nice and well decorated.

  5. Beautiful airport! Thank you!
    I have trees om apron and runways and I see others had the same problem. Anyone found a solution?

    1. Had the same problem. Removed all tree-enhancing items – even those ment for a specific airport – from the Community-folder and it worked 🙂

    1. This is because your PC cannot handle these high fidelity airports (at your current graphical settings).

    1. Biden Crime Family

      This is surprising as there’s never been any known link between putting in lots of extra graphical detail and a reduction in performance. Real head scratcher..

  6. I think a RWY01R have some terrain issue, even i’m doing “butter” landing it always be a 200FPM+ in Volanta, Gees or others landing checking addons. No problem with RWY01L.

  7. Dear Folks, i am very much looking for EHAM – Schiphol airport. Do you have any idea where i can download that?

      1. This is a 5mb file which is only few gates and nothing like taxi way markings not there…gate numbers not there…..can you check pls..?

  8. I think outfits like NZA and Pyreegue have surpassed this standard now. Great airport of course but it all looks… smudgy in comparison.

  9. Top class scenery. No performance issues at all. Lot of details. Other publishers could be more like that (Fly2High or MXI)

  10. Very heavy on Fps this 4gb Airport. Not typical for Orbx. Tried out with high end rig > i9 with rtx 4070 and 32 GB RAM

    1. Not really that bad on FPS compared to Asobos handcrafted one.
      Actually there has been some strange fps drop in the whole Stockholm area with and without addons since wu5

      1. The FPS is reasonable until you load AI traffic. Then even a high-end PC struggles to keep up.

  11. Very well optimized, especially so considering the amount of details it has. The only issue is some wavy-bumpy taxiways, but those are nothing that would crush your sim and pretty sure will be easily fixed by orbx soon.

      1. Tried download the official MSFS ESSA, then run the sim in ESSA. Then remove the official and then install Orbx.
        Still trees. Is there a specific sequence?.
        Thanks 🙂
        PS: Thank you SimPlaza!!!!

        1. I have the same issue, trees on taxiways and runways, reinstalled it 4 times, no other scenery installed for ESSA.
