FSX_P3D_Advanced_Landing_Ground_A-7 2024-04-28

This freeware scenery package attempts to represent Advanced Landing Ground A-7 of the US 9th AAF. ALG A-7 was one of 29 Advanced Landing Grounds that dotted the Cotentin Peninsula. Advanced Landing Ground "A-7", consisted of a single 3600' x 120' Square-Mesh Track/Compressed Earth runway aligned 08/26. In addition, tents were used for billeting and also for support facilities; an access road was built to the existing road infrastructure; a dump for supplies, ammunition, and gasoline drums, along with a drinkable water and minimal electrical grid for communications and station lighting. Construction was started on June 6th, 1944. The engineers operated under enemy fire to construct this crucial airfield. The initial operational date was July 2nd, 1944. The airfield was vacated by September 15th, 1944 and was returned to the local population. The airfield was built by 819th Engineer Aviation Battalion. Units from the 365th Fighter Group and 363rd Fighter Group / Tactical Reconnaissance Group flew sorties from this airfield. No evidence is left of this airfield except the monument maintained by the grateful local French population. This scenery contains extensive audio and effects content. It has been tested and found to function properly in FSXA, P3D V3 and P3D4. It looks best with ORBX Global, Vector and EU land class, but will function with no scenery enhancements.
