    GB-0815 Kittyhawk Aerodrome - Image 1

    Description

    Kittyhawk Aerodrome is 'a hidden gem of an airport' (according to its website, and I'm not going to disagree), close to the English south coast. Nestled between the South Downs and Glyndebourne, it's perfectly located for either a scenic flight over the Downs or a night at the opera.

    This airfield was left out of the base MSFS, and quite a large chunk of the runway was covered in trees, making things a little challenging. I've stripped back the rogue forestry, given the grass a mown, and added a bit of detail to the place (I've built a custom model for the main hangar; the other hangar and the farmhouse may have to wait a bit.)

    A fair amount of trees near the runway means this can still be a challenging airfield (watch out for windshear on the approach to Rwy28!). Can't quite model the apparently sometimes damp/soft runways, so you'll have to imagine those for now.

    I've also added a couple of landmarks for the circuit flying - to the north, on the approach to Rwy16, there Laughton Place Tower, a redbrick building. To the east, just south of the electricity pylons, is Darp Farm Helipad. (I've added a helipad start here too, just in case you'd like to.) 

    As ever, you'll need a few libraries to make everythign work properly. They're listed below.

    Hope you enjoy - please do let me know what you think. Feedback, reports of unexpectedly mountainous runways, and comments of more or less all sorts are welcome.

    I fly both 2020 and '24. I've downloaded both files, but how do I tell which is which? If I "extract to here" the contents overwrite each other.
    Could the folders have a suffix added for 2020 and 2024 please?

    Hadn't though of people using both - I can do that.

    Thanks so much! Great to see it being used - hoping to complete Deanland (about 2 miles to the East) in the next few weeks.

    Looks awesome and I'm happy to see a local airfield on here. I'm yet to Visit Kittyhawk but it's my second local airfield before Deanland! If there's any chance that could be added I'd be super appreciative as the default airfield lacks a lot of the details.

    Thanks! Definitely hoping to add Deanland soon. Working on some custom buildings at the moment (alongside Tibenham, another project I have on the go...) but hope to release something in the next few weeks. Trying to source photos for some of it - if you happen to live super close and have a camera handy...

    GB-0815 Kittyhawk Aerodrome

    GB-0815 Kittyhawk Aerodrome brings to life a lesser-known airport near the English south coast, nestled between the picturesque South Downs and Glyndebourne. This add-on addresses the omission of the airfield in the base Microsoft Flight Simulator, enhancing the scene by removing obstructive trees and adding detail to the main hangar. With challenging approaches and added landmarks for circuit flying, this aerodrome offers a unique experience for flight simulation enthusiasts. Additional libraries are required for optimal functionality.
