I’ve just had a look at Orbx EGCB, very impressive and I’m sure that is my car in the car park. :thinking:

I’m waiting for someone to do an update of the default EGNE, but i suspect that a payware supplier would only do that as part of a bundle of smaller airports.

Indeed yes! 10mins away!

I’m in North west

Lyndhurst?

Lovely part of the world :slight_smile:

Guess you’re torn between EGHI and EGHH then?

Sometimes taken for granted!

I do mix it up between the two of them :grinning_face: I’ve also done vfr from one to the other a fair few times!

Yes I have too, it’s a quick and easy hop when I don’t have much time and need a MSFS ā€˜fix’…

Haha made me chuckle as I too had f15 on the Amiga. Also based in surrey…

I am from the isle of Wight… Now. Born and bread South London. I am planning to spend the weekend converting the isle of Wight from google maps… its prob going to be a long process but worth it as I love my little island and it ails me to fly over it and see how the island does NOT look for real lol. Not yet looked at the SDK and implementing the Google maps data too much but get an idea of the process and have used Blender for years so half way there before I have started…

If anyone else knows, once I have done this locally (for my system) is there a way to upload it to M.S/Asbobo servers so that the community will benefit as a whole?

A user called superspud on the flightsim.to website has manually created a version of EGCB. It’s not perfect but a vast improvement on the default.

the devs/MS are apparently thinking about a suggested facility that is similar to XPlane’s Gateway system, which allows community created scenery to be integrated within the base program. However, I suspect that updated sceneries based on data from Google or other copyright protected sources might leave MS open to litigation, so it won’t be an easy process.

flightsim.to, or other collections of community developed mods, might therefore be the only route open to you, at least for now.

Look forward to any release you may come out with,

I’m situated in the new forest and do a lot of vfr, my work also involves the IOW a lot :blush:

Keen to stay updated with your project, if you could drop me a link to a thread or location when you start work would love to fly it

Sure no problem, having a ā€˜personal crisis’ this weekend so may have to put starting that off until during the week but happy to share my results when done as long as I’m not breaking any rules lol :+1:
