Here is EGNH Blackpool, custom built by Superspud and myself.
The airport has had its ups and downs and now handles no commercial flights, but is still great for sightseeing GA flights and is used by helicopters and biz jets.
As ever, I have hand built all the main buildings including the relatively new Lancashire Energy HQ. I have left most of the business park as default. Superspud has excelled himself with the groundwork and detailing. Check out the comparison shots of real life vs our effort.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v 1.1
Checked for compatability with Update3.
Correct naming convention.
Superspud has tweaked the roads, parking spaces, taxiways and aprons.
Added realistic static NHV helicopter.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
v 1.2
Update to tackle any issues caused by MSFS Update 4
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
v 1.3
Re-compiled using latest SDK for anyone having problems following SU5.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
v 2.0
Superspud has updated and recompiled for latest compatability.
Added helipads. Added a few more ground markings. Added animated humans.
Probably best to delete old version completely.

Edit: it happened in Cardiff too, so it isn't your mod. I loaded up with no add-ons and the lights stanchion isn't even there.

Nice to see an upgrade for my local airport which recently has evolved into a semi decent GA/business airport, Netjets and some corporate users have been visiting a lot more and its still handles larger aircraft as football teams fly in. Lets just say its waking up again hopefully.

Looks good 👍🙂
Just one issue for me: If I turn on taxi ribbons I can see that a route to parking is defined, but if I turn on the AI co-pilot it does not proceed beyond the runway turn off hold point.

Hmmm. That's one for Superspud. I'll see what he can do.

Great job. Would you consider making an alternate version with the old terminal instead of the college? Would buy you a few coffees for that!

I remember the old terminal. May be interesting to research and do in the future. I'm busy at thr mo on an exciting project for Superspud.

Excellent job..........thanks for all your efforts. Now makes a great realistic base for GA sightseeing flights around the north of England.

I flew from Belfast (Tamalien and Superspud) to this Airport last night, first attempt CTD Just after I released the brakes. No reason, it hung then dropped. My second attempt however, took off with no problems, then smooth flying all the way to the IOM. As I approached IOM I had some stop and stutter, then smooth again all the way to Blackpool.
This Airport is your best yet, you put the handcrafted Airports in the game well into the shade. I'd give you ten stars but it won't let me.
You are the Morecambe and wise, the Fred and Ginger, you can decide which of you is which 😊

Strange problem that may be due to last MSFS update. Only noticed it so far on Just Flights Warrior 2 and the Arrows that the engine wont turn off at certain locations. With mixture full lean keeps on spinning. Remove the scenery and it works ok. Tried other airfields with addon scenery and seems fine. Tried on GA stands 1 and 5 so far. Default aircraft seem ok as well. It's a very obscure problem but thought better mention it.

Now that's a weird one! Superspud is responsible for all the groundwork, parking, etc. I'll see what he thinks.

As an old time PPL I tend to fly nothing large in MSFS. So Baron, C172, Bonanza, TBM930 and CJ4 are the biggest I've flown.
Appreciate your time on this.
