Description
Landing in your face and slobbering all over you this time is EGPA Kirkwall on the Orkney Islands.
I started this ages ago but gave up because the land kept breaking. It seems to behave now but there might be the odd glitch.
Only been to Orkney once so far, but I was profoundly stirred as I pondered what the ancients were up to in the very spot I was twitching in. Scoffing mud and rutting presumably.
Usual drill. Replaced all the ground textures and many of the stock buildings. New ground markings.
Skell300 has done you the terminal and a superb job it is too.
There's a new taxi system that gets rid of the unused third runway. Space 2 on the main apron has all the ground services even if that's a bit extravagant. There's also a parking spot inside a hangar to start in as well.
A couple of static aircraft models. Light all over. Some roads filled in. Lots of fencing.
One drag is that runway 14/32 seems to have lost its huge dip. This is a shame but I don't dare mess with it in case it breaks again.
There's still a bit more refining to do but if I do any more clicking in the near future my arm is going to go black and fall off so this will be returned to soon.

Is mainly a recompile, but I've also redone the odd ground texture, added a few missing antennas and details and added the odd item from here - https://flightsim.to/file/23692/superspud-airport-asset-library

Downloaded your Orkney pack and just travelled there last night. Landed here and was underwhelmed, looked like you hadn't done a thing so I didn't even bother to explore. Now I've just noticed this wasn't included in the Orkney pack but has it own file on flightsim. I thought this was a rare mistep from you. Downloading now. The Old Man of Hoy was fantastic!
UPDATE - Explored it for real last night, fantastic job. The front of the terminal is excellent and extremely accurate, I googled it! I guess that is Nordic/Viking language over the terminal entrance?

Nice one again Spud & Skell...Incredible thanks ! 'Old Man of Hoy' sea stack *please*. That would really be the icing on the cake for the great work done on the Orkney Islands. Otherwise it's like London without Big Ben. simPaul flights

A fine idea. There is one 3d model of it I can find, no way could I ever make one, so I'll see if it works in situ.

Well I almost rated this 5 stars on the download alone because the description was so good. But flying into this airport in MSFS was as fun as reading your commentary. It was one of the first airports I've hit on my world tour so far that really felt alive (Kirkwell was #96). Lots of airplanes and people milling about, and just beautiful scenery work. Happened to look up a couple photos online and I recognized buildings when I flew in there in the sim. Great job, what a fun experience flying in here.

I've got another (annoying) request. Your static BN2 BPCA is most welcome on the apron, but has the wrong nose...It's not pointy!!!!
