It is a remake of the standard ASOBO guesstimate airfield created with the (still partly unfathomable) MSFS SDK

More tweaking mainly to trees & bushes, clubroom buildings and fences. About as good as I can make it now (still no way I can see to select & move or exclude parking spots)

Here is my improvement on the "guesswork" buildings at an important Gliding airfield in Scotland. Its is not perfect because I have used only default buildings from the ASOBO/Microsoft range but its close - and way better. I was unable to get the scenery builder SDK to remove parking spots "out in the field" but most times they don't get in the way.

The sim assigns EGVY to Portmoak airfield which in real life has no ICAO reference. Also the file for this scenery has an odd name consisting of that ICAO plus a random local village and "Spectre" (because the system insisted I give a business name!

Anyway unzip and place in "Community" as usual and enjoy - it is free after all. From there two handy hills give slope soaring and (in real life wave soaring with strong enough winds blowing in from over the mountain region of the country.

Drove past this aiffield a few days ago as it was part of a detour (my usual road closed for roadworks). It is quite realistic and well done, a very good representation of reality. The minor detail improvements lift it from just another FS2020 representation to a real place with that indescribable feel of small grass strips. It is the Scottish Gliding centre so when conditions are right it can be quite busy with gliders.

Very well done SteveBoston thank you.

Response from the author:

Thanks for that - the default building sketchup gave big tall square hangars and a small block of flats for the clubroom! I worked there for 20 years and couldn't bear to see that. Over time the scenery developer thing became a bit less awful to use and my abilities - after several tries -became just good enough. Originally I made it with better buildings but realised I was using some from other addon sceneries. So that is an abestos job - asbestos I can with default stuff.  I would like to add a few more details but the SDK fought me and I maually constructed the file set so it won't let me near it now.
