    Version 1.9

    Removes the BMI hangar and offices ,  now demolished.

    Reworking of ground markings on main terminal aprons

    More custom-made buildings added in various parts of the airfield. 

    Version 1.8

    All elements of the airport have been re-positioned to match new Bing Map recently introduced.

    Unwanted buildings and trees added in WU 17 have been removed.

    Improvements to runway markings, taxi and apron side lines.

    Some moving vehicles added on airfield and just beyond.  

    Version 1.7

    Re-modeled Main Passenger Terminal 

    Extra detail to Fire Practice area and Flying club.

    Additional perimeter fencing in area from Fire Station past Flying Club.

    Expanded night lighting with illuminated signs.

    Some changes to taxiway edge lines.

    Additional parked Loganair aircraft.

    Version 1.6

    Further upgrading of approach lighting,  threshold lights and runway end lights. All attached lights are now directional.

    Approriate local housing added overlooking apron E and on right of approach to runway 34.

    More detail added to area between main terminal and multi-storey parking.

    Two appropriate static aircraft added ( needs FSLTL base models )

    Version 1.5

    removal of smoke effects from fire practice area.  These effects had been reported as causing a drop in performance.

    Flattening of an area where runway 36 meets the main runway

    Version 1.4

    Full replacement approach lighting for runway 16-34.

    Adjustments to runway 16-34 side lighting.

    Additional office buildings added.

    Version 1.3

    All designated helicopter parking spots have been re-drawn and resized and coded to accept the companies that generally use them.  This should make the airport fully compatible with any AITraffic Helicopter package that might be used.

    Some, but not all, parking spots at main terminal have been airline coded ( WIP )

    Perimeter fencing completed around the end of runway 16.

    Detail and action added to firepreactice area plus custom models added on both sides of runway 16 end.

    Custom models of hotels in area near main terminal added.

    Version 1.2

    This is an early release of a part completed update to the airport and surrounds.

    Recent changes made to MSFS2020 have caused elevation problems with previous version and this partial update is released to address that issue.  There is also more detail added to previous version with partial perimeter fence in place.

    Version 1.1 

    This is a first upgrade to the default MSFS airport scenery.

    This version concentrates on the main terminal building and the area around the control tower.  Some detail has been added in the area of the fire station and Flying Club.  Some ground markings have been changed and some added.

    This is a busy airport with domestic and international flights and a very high level of helicopter activity serving the North Sea oil & Gas industry.

    The area around the airport is very industrial so it will take some time to cover the airfield and surrounds,  so further updates will follow.

    Update version1.1

    Aircraft parking stands have been reset to allow AI traffic to function better.

    Bristow & Babcock areas of the airfield have been populated with custom-made buildings

    Extra detail added to South-East end of airfield

    A variety of static helicopters have been placed around the airfield at appropriate spots.  The models included are all the work of John Young.  We thank him for allowing us to use these excellent models in our project.

    Thanks for your work on this scenery and the immersion it adds.
    I had a question about the runways that are used for helicopter operations. I am using A.I. Air traffic control, but those runways are never active even after a request. Any workarounds for this?

    Love this addon. It seems to work great in MSFS2024.

    Worth noting that the old BMI building at 57.200497890077706, -2.1927811375818145 was demolished a few weeks ago and is now just a concrete foundation pad with a chain link fence round it.

    Many thanks for getting in touch and for your comments on the scenery. I haven't joined the queue for MSFS2024 yet. Surprised to hear my scenery works in it. Everything I have read so far seemed to indicate that 2020 sceneries were not working too well in 2024. Will have to make an effort to get it up and running and see the state of play.

    For some people it is hard to give up smoking even though there are obvious benefits in doing so.

    Sorry, not sure exactly what the message is here.

    In plain British. Some of us are still holding back from the updates and their enhanced features because we do not want to give up on the now removed smoke effects that have never caused us performance issues. But it is getting harder to resist because we are missing out on the new features.
