London City Airport (IATA: LCY, ICAO: EGLC) is a regional airport in London, England. It is located in the Royal Docks in the London Borough of Newham, approximately 6 miles (9.7 km) east of the City of London and 3 miles (4.8 km) east of Canary Wharf. These are the twin centres of London's financial industry, which is a major user of the airport. The airport was developed by the engineering company Mowlem in 1986–87. In 2016 it was bought by a Canadian-led consortium of Alberta Investment Management Corporation (AIMCo), OMERS, the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan and Wren House Infrastructure Management of the Kuwait Investment Authority.[5]
London City Airport has a single 1,508-metre (4,948 ft) long runway, and a CAA Public Use Aerodrome Licence (Number P728) that allows flights for the public transport of passengers or for flight training (but only for training necessary for the operation of aircraft at the airport).Only multi-engine, fixed-wing aircraft up to Airbus A318 size with special aircraft and aircrew certification to fly 5.5° approaches are allowed to conduct operations at London City Airport

I do have one request if you revisit this project in the future. I fly corporate jets, including Netjets. And the Netjets "terminal" at the GA apron is now filled with cars and buses, while in real life you will find some expensive private jets there :) It would be amazing if you cleared that area and even add a Netjet sign on the building there, just like in real life :)

Are you aware that there a few "wayward" Runway/Taxiway edge lights in your version.
2 opposite stand 5, and another at the threshold of runway 27, on the southern edge. Fairly sure these are not created by me or any other package, but would welcome your input. Best regards, Martin.

Is it possible that there is a "default" EGLC remaining in there. I have looked but cannot see anything in the official folder.

Hi, just downloaded your EGLC, great scenery, but I have the most extreme slopes between taxiway and runway on the South East side. I do not have any other scenery for EGLC, is it something I am doing ??
Best regards, Martin.
FOUND THE PROBLEM !!!
EGLC from ORBX was installed in the "Official" folder. Once removed all works well.
