    EGXC - RAF Coningsby - Image 1

    Description

    RAF Coningsby is a major Royal Air Force station located in Lincolnshire, England. It plays a critical role as the home of the UK’s Southern QRA (Quick Reaction Alert), ready to launch Typhoon jets at a moment’s notice to intercept potential air threats.

    The base hosts several frontline Eurofighter Typhoon squadrons, including No. 3 (Fighter) Squadron, No. XI (Fighter) Squadron, and No. 29 Squadron, which operates as the Typhoon Operational Conversion Unit. It's also the home of the historic Battle of Britain Memorial Flight.

    This scenery has been entirely handcrafted using a mix of satellite and online imagery to replicate the layout and feel of the real base as accurately as possible.

    Special thanks to NickB007 for assisting with various models, Claytzz for creating the most recent additions, and a massive thank you to Nattani for the excellent T3 models featured on the ASP.

    Please note: a few default sim buildings remain and are intentionally left in for now — they'll be replaced or updated in a future version along with additional detailing and improvements.

    If you encounter any issues, feel free to send me a DM before commenting — most things can be resolved quickly with a message.

    If you enjoyed the scenery, please share some screenshots and dont hesitate to leave a comments and or a few starts below the post 

    if you have the removal fix for the payware scenery by nickb007 , make sure you disable that or you will not see the BBMF hangars 

    UPDATE Sept 2025
    A fair amount of users have reported extensive lags and stutters using the scenery.
    This has been fixed, and now is running smooth wherever you are in the airfield.
    Various buildings added, New HAS shelter and New Typhoon Models, line rework and BBMF detailing 
    This update wouldnt have been possible without the legendary NickB007, who offered unvaluable help for this update.

    Love this scenery absolutely amazing, feels a lot more alive than the pay ware version.
    Just wondering is there anyway that the object and ground texture render distance could be improved, as I've noticed like the, fences, typhoons and other objects disappear a lot closer compared to the pay ware version and ground textures go fuzzy earlier too. Not too big of a deal tho as its amazing for free ware

    We have found a fix for this but I still don’t know why it works but it does, so Spirly try this -
    if you look at my Typhoon livery packs for the IFE typhoon and download one, there should be in the folder a MSFS layout generator exe file this is what we use to generate the layout Json file automatically. Copy that exe file into the 168 studios Coningsby folder with the two json files, then all you need to do is drag and drop the layout.json file onto the MSFSlayoutgenerater and it will rewrite the json. It will just pop up a black window and this will close, it might ask you to run it but say yes. This worked for captstonersmurf

    I downloaded this scenery into the correct MSFS2020 community folder but flightsim kept showing the default scenery - am I doing something wrong? Have cleared scenery cache but that hasn't cleared it :(

    just check it not in a folder with the same name as if ite a level too deep it wont work, look in your community folder and find the 168studios-airport-egxc-coningsby and if you look in there and dont see three folders and two files but you see just a folder called 168studios-airport-egxc-coningsby then its double foldered

    Thank you for your quick reply - I have checked and the folder containing the three other folders & 2 .json files are the only one in my MSFS2020 community folder so I think we can rule that one out. Interestingly, if I check in the in-sim Content Manager, "RAF Coningsby by 168Studios" does appear but when I load up on the runway, it's only the default buildings showing which is really odd. Have screenshots that I can supply to evidence the problem.

    you dont have the payware installed do you? i dont understand why this is happening, thinking i know we havent changed the name of the folders but can you do a search in your community folder for EGXC and make sure theres not any other versions installed, im struggling to think of anything else that would cause that, the payware would be in your official folder if you had that version from IM scenery

    so i have just deleted the version in my community folder, re-downloaded from fs.to the Main file, i have unzipped it in the Downloads folder then i cut and pasted the 168studios folder containing the three filders and the two json files into my community folder. i didnt use the drag and drop method or the fs.to installer. and for me everything shows up correctly (buildings and statics etc) i dont get why it wouldn't be working for you if you have done the same

    i have just checked this download out and can confirm it works correctly, there must be something wrong you end?, i followed the steps listed by 168 studios in the comments and all is working

    3 months ago

    I've followed your lead and deleted the folder, redownloaded from flightsim.to and installed into my MSFS2020 community folder exactly the same as you & still default buildings. I've checked the content manager and RAF Coningsby by 168Studios is on the list but not appearing in-sim?!

    For comparison I just downloaded Gobby's RAF Northolt scenery from Flightsim.to, installed into MSFS2020 Community folder in exactly the same way as I did for Coningsby, and Northolt works fine?

    Similarly @nickb007 scenery for RAF Lossiemouth installs and works fine so I'm not sure it's a folder issue - really strange!

    This is a brand-new install on a new PC & the only scenery that fails to load - it's a really odd situation so interested that @nickb007 it works for you but not for me and @Sprlyy - I'm not running any other payware or freeware that I know of that might interfere with this scenery and AFAIK my version of MSFS2020 is up-to-date?

    @nickb007 - Thank you for your message, will try your suggestion. I can't DM back as I keep getting "email verification required" even though this account is verified - have raised a support ticket to resolve.
