    Please note: for the best experience, ensure all the latest world updates are downloaded, this isn't necessary but includes a lot of new objects.

     

     

     

    If there is an airfield local to you and you would like it to be upgraded or if there is missing/buggy scenery, please DM me as I'm always looking for more projects!

    Hi
    FYI I am having real problems getting the textures onto the University buildings, so have made little/no progress getting them to you. If you know any Blender experts they may be able to work out what I am doing wrong. But I keep failing , giving up for a few weeks, repeat!

    Also, could you possibly remove the BAe 146s you have included? They really aren't great, and detract from your other scenery. I have included the 146 professional models on my own version - if you have the Justflight addon they look soooo much better.

    Thank you for all the work producing this. One thing.. modelLib.bgl, scene.bgl and shapes.bgl should all be renamed to egtc-modelLib.bgl, egtc-scene.bgl, egtc-shapes.bgl in order to prevent CTD's. The modelLib in particular could clash with another scenery because of the generic name. I have done my copy and updated the layout.json file.

    Great scenery! Would it be possible to add an exclusion zone underneath the solar farm? It currently creates 2 overlapping solar farms when you use Mamu82's Powerlines and Solar Farms. Either way, fantastic work!

    Hi thanks for your comment, Il add that to my list for the next update!

    Thanks for the upgrade Jay. I really like your previous version and will download this later. If you are looking for a project, Gloucestershire EGBJ has never been done and really needs some work on it. A lot of pilots have learned to fly at several of the schools based there.

    Thanks for your comment! I will look into it, I believe there is a EGBJ scenery on here, I will need to see if its still being worked on.

    about 4 years ago

    There is, but it doesn't work. If you try it, the scenery is located several feet above the ground. I tried yur updated Cranfield last night and it is indeed excellent.

    It was a bit of a stop-gap but now has the UK2000 version. Knowing the airport like I do its excellent.
