    Per discussion, in case northern runway (08L/26R) needs to be used on the rare occasion, reinstated PAPIs and added LIRL.

    Installed new taxiways ER/E and swapped taxiways R/RA as per recent works. Reworked all signage. Tidied taxi routes. Installed the sole dual jetway. Installed wig wags. Removed lighting from northern runway (08L/26R) as in reality it is used primarily as a taxiway, and only used as a runway when the southern runway is closed.

    The gate direction marks and the ground-painted marks in the passenger terminal ramp area were completely re-worked to reflect the real ones better. Some aircraft stands were adjusted to fit the photo imagery and the airport layout better. Several nearby buildings to the aircraft stands were added or got better details than before.

    Update is progressing. Now Piers 4, 5 and 6 ramp markings and structures replicate better the real coutnerparts.

    Added more details to the north terminal, pier 5 and the maintenance hangar area to further improve the already great airport. The ground painted taxi signs were added for the whole area. Ramp markings of Pier 5 are more close to the real life ones.

    Update taxiway J with correct route. In the previous version, the taxiway was out of alignment with the orthophoto.

    A little update to Gatwick. Corrected gates on the south side of Pier 6. Erased white line drawn across the gates on Pier 6.

    I have just made a small change to Pier 6. I have moved the barriers to allow the old Gate 107 to be accessed. Looking at the latest Airport charts the south side of Pier 6 still isn't quite right as all gates accessible at the moment have moved across by 1, meaning Gate 103 is in a new position. I will leave it as is for the time being and change when all the works are completed.

    I have been looking for a freeware EGKK and saw that the latest version of this had "Taxiway/runway join issue(s)". I attempted to fix this. The rest of the work is the community's effort.

    I am uploading this in the hope that somebody is able to continue with it. I am finding it difficult at the moment to find the time to continue with it. I may do so down the line, but that may be with other library objects, because I find the Lego brick library rather limiting.
