Version 1.0

This is a early release version of scenery for the airport and surrounds.  The default airfield layout has been mostly retained for now, with some changes to aircraft parking and the addition of two helipad 'starts'.  Most buildings on the airfield have been replaced by custom models and the intention is to continue this into the Spirit Aerosystems Factory and surrounding industrial areas and residential areas.

It should be said that many of the models are re-compiles of models used in previous FS versions,  so don't expect anything other than a basic attempt to fill a gap.  No other versions of the airport being available so far for MSFS2020

Glasgow Prestwick Airport is situated in South Ayrshire, Scotland,  just north of the towns of Prestwick and Ayr and some 32 miles south of Glasgow.
