It’s the best freeware airport I’ve ever seen, in VR it’s a joy to walk around, just like visiting the real place.
Duxford Scenery now updated to version 3
Same download link
Clicking on the download button will give two options, make sure you select EGSU Duxford Airfield COMPLETE EDITION V3 and remove older Version2 from your community folder.
Any news on whether this great airport is coming to the marketplace i.e. available on Xbox?
I’m afraid this scenery will not make it to the market place, sorry.
I don’t suppose you’d consider making it available for XBox?
I confess to having no idea what you’d have to do to make it compatible and/or to get it on the marketplace.
Yesterday, I flew the C-47 from Upottery (from Band of Brothers - strip is visible but not modelled) to Duxford.
Enjoyable flight, but kinda sad to arrive to the default scenery.
I believe the problem is this scenery is freeware, and the Marketplace does not accept freeware.
IIRC some authors put their freeware products on the Marketplace at the minimum price (5$), but I don’t know whether it’s worth the hassle.
It can’t come to the marketplace / xbox as devs can’t release freeware and due to licensing needed for a payware rendition from IWM the likes of me and you will never get to experience this fantastic airfield on xbox
It’s really a shame not to have this in the Market Place/Xbox.
It’s such a historic aviation site and the home base for many vintage flying machines.
I hope some other third party takes up the gauntlet.
Good luck on that one!
Wait’ll you finish this one, and then you fly somewhere else you like and realize…
Ah you got me there… you know something?
Having developed a few airports myself, I keep thinking I’m done, then I fly someplace else I like, and… “Gosh darn it, here’s another one that needs some help”…
And I can’t help myself…
sigh
MSFS2024 version of Duxford is now available for download.
This has a compatibility fix for the uneven grass areas around the runway.
Note it is not a full upgrade to 2024 standards as yet, some more improvements should follow in the New Year hopefully.
