    Old Sarum Airfield-EGLS - Image 1

    Description

    This is an update to Old Sarum Airfield in Wiltshire.

    Using stock scenery items I've tried to liven up the airfield with

    • A selection of aircraft
    • Cars in car parks
    • A representation of a control tower
    • picnic tables outside the skydive building
    • Replacing some of the autogen buildings with closer approximations.
    • A couple of windsocks


    As ever, open to suggestions for any additional items.

    Any chance of an ms2024 version or one that is compatable?

    I am using it in 2024, superficially ok. The buildings match google maps quite well with a couple missing behind the museum double-Belfast hangar. The other double-Belfast hangar has since been demolished according to Google but looks better with it in. A few misalign with RL. I'd be happy to tidy it up for 2024 if I had the source files and models.

    Windsocks point the opposite direction to the wind???

    Definitely an improvement!

    I wonder if it would be possible to add concrete aprons where their existence is indicated (i.e. the mottled gray areas from the satellite imagery) - I think that would go a long way to making this airfield look better. There's also a circular concrete helipad.

    Also, there are two old WW1 hangars with some interesting architecture that can be seen when doing a Google search for Old Sarum Airfield.

    Outside one of the WW1 hangars is parked a Hawker Hunter, a Jet Provost, and the nose and a section of the fuselage of a Comet (Google Earth has the airfield in 3D so you can shift-drag on the image to get all perspectives) - this is part of the Boscombe Down Aviation Collection - it might be nice to add those details.

    And I think it's always nice to add the human element. There's "Dark Revolution Brewery" just north of the Boscombe Down Aviation Collection hangars - it has seating outside, so a few folks having a couple of beers would add a lot, I think.

    Hi Flyboy. I do not have Salisbury cathedral. I wonder if you could supply. Or do you know if it has been done.Very nice Old Sarum airfield.

    Cheers Eric.

    Hi Eric,

    Salisbury Cathedral was included in the World Update 3 (UK) from Asobo. Have you got this installed?

    Really nice job. Lovely little airstrip with a great view of Salisbury cathedral for some nice picturesque circuits.

    Could do with some background sounds at the airfield though. Some bird song, a wood pigeons, a dog barking every now and then.

    The dead silence is rather incongruous.

    Sad Times ! When i was at School in Wiltshire our Head Master kept a Tiger Moth (Jackeroo) at Old Sarum and would take us for 'Spins'. The first time i flew with him we were doing aerobatics over Stonehenge and after the second loop followed by a Wing over and Spin i Peed my Pants. Thankfully i was wearing Heavy Duty Fustian Shorts which were very absorbent so nobody noticed. I started my Flex Wing Training there back in the 80 's so i have many Fond Memories of many Fly ins to Old Sarum.
    Thanks for Keeping the Memory Alive,............ Excellent Work.

    Thanks for sharing this.
    In reality Old Sarum has been closed, but the museum lives on and I understand is well worth a visit (in real life).

    Please note that you have EGLS-modelLib.bgl in your global scenery folder, but the reference withing your layout.json file is just modelLib.bgl.
