EGSU Duxford Airfield COMPLETE EDITION
This is a new version of Duxford Airfield and War Museum complete with ALL buildings within the grounds of the Duxford War Museum.
Note that this complete scenery includes all the objects from my previous Duxfield Airfield and is designed to replace that version.
Every building is represented in fine detail with all signage accurately placed. This edition is Virtual Duxford!
The British Airliner Collection has been expanded with additional static aircraft complete with boarding stairs.
It features some new spawns including two inside The Fighter Collection hangar which now has a fully modelled interior and opening doors. Crash gates B and C will also open for access to the apron.
The gates and doors are now fully automatic and will open on approach and close behind you once you pass through.
The above screenshots detail the new models in this revamped scenery.
Note there is no night lighting in real life as the museum is only open during daylight hours and the airfield is not licensed for night operations, however basic runway lighting was requested by some and is included in the main download, but there is still an option to download a version without the added lights...
It is important to remember that with all this additional detail it will increase need to have good capable hardware equipped on your PC in order to maintain good performance.
Most people have reported good performance on their PC's with this scenery despite it's detail, but some with lower end hardware may have adjust their settings...
It is for this reason that the original version of EGSU Duxford Airfield will remain available as a separate 'lite' version for those who basically just fly in and out of Duxford and just need the 'airside' view from the aprons. It seems there are no performance issues with that version, if you have lower spec PC then this is possibly more suitable. You may especially need to have this 'lite' version if you value flying with VR for obvious performance reasons with lower spec graphic cards.
An updated version of the Airshow Addon is available if you would like to see spectators, both versions of Duxford remain compatible with this addon.
Installation remains the same, unzip to your Community Folder but be sure to only have ONE version, 'detailed' OR 'lite' installed at one time.
A mod manager would be ideal if you would like to switch versions perhaps for VR flying.
I hope you enjoy this new improved version, but please remember if you have performance issues it could indicate that you need to be running the less detailed version...

Currently at version 3.1.1
Optional download for NO RUNWAY LIGHTING as in real life Duxford
So there are two versions of this whole scenery available for download, scenery with runway lights OR scenery without runway lights.
Basically hitting download gives the two file options (click the drop down menu arrow), Main File (HAS runway lighting) OR the second option (WITHOUT runway lighting)
Remember you should only install ONE of these, never both at same time.

EGSU Duxford Complete V3.1.1
What do I need to do about RUNWAY or NO RUNWAY LIGHTING?

Absolutely incredible work. Can you tell me how to remove the runway lighting, it says it's included in the main download but I cannot see anything about removing lights.

Hi. Yeah I know it's confusing how .to lists the files.
So there are two versions of this whole scenery available for download,
scenery with runway lights OR scenery without runway lights.
Basically hitting download gives the two file options, Main File (HAS runway lighting) OR the second option (WITHOUT runway lighting)
So you need the second option, without lights.
Remember you should only install ONE of these, never both at same time.
Sorry it's not clearer, hope it is now...
Thanks, MICK

This is a fantastic mod, I have just updated to 3.1.1 and notice it is called complete edition, should I not include the airshow folder anymore?

Hi, thank you.
You still will need airshow addon if you want crowd showing.
This is called complete edition because there is still a version 1 available (a lite edition if you like) which does not have all the buildings at the back or the opening hangar and interior.

Unbelievably realistic, as good as it gets in a virtual world - and a lot warmer than the real thing at the moment!

Excellent scenery. For a number of years I worked as a volunteer at IWM Duxford and this is the most accurate rendition I have seen.
