The models are looking superb - I’m looking forward to this!

How are you going to deal with ground textures? I started exploring doing a wartime airbase but replacing the modern satellite imagery with colourised 1940s aerial photos was going to be a prohibitively big job. The alternative of ground polygons never looked natural enough, at least with my attempts.

Thanks, much appreciated.

Thanks, glad you like them.

And yes, getting ground textures to look natural is challenging.

Fortunately we have 73 miles retexturing experience from Hadrian’s Wall to draw on and for Kenley, I am hoping that the camouflage on the ground surfaces might help to break things up.

Not to mention the re-re-texturing for MSFS 2024. :grin:

Looking forward to Kenley.

:joy: Yes there is that as well! (The update is inbound).

@PipsPriller In case the RAF was still flying Gloster Gladiators out of Kenley in 1940, there is discussion over in the SimOutHouse forums of converting one from FSX o FS2020: Gloster Gladiator | SOH Forums

Thanks for the tip off - yes Kenley was home to Gladiators of 3 and 615 Squadrons in the immediate prewar period, before they reequipped with Hurricanes.

The change over also coincided with Kenley acquiring its perimeter track, blast pens etc so would it would provide another version of the airfield.
