This is
Ipswich Airport in Suffolk England, code EGSE. It has been closed now for some time, but if you did learn to fly here it will bring back many a good memory of that time.
You will however need VFR Horizon Visual Flight Photo scenery. As it will not work well in normal FS9.
The Ipswich Airport has been made using old photographs from friends, my own collection or local paper archives. Therefore it is hard to put a year on this as it has a bit of every thing, due to no real all round images of any one-year.
Most of the reflections in glass are made in Paint shop Pro9 with layers and buildings are created with the Gmax program, with plans obtained from Ipswich Planning and Development Office.
The runway was made with AFCAD and the layout is from Pooleys 1986. I think the runway lights were only fitted later on runway 14/32, but I have put them on 8/26 as well because FS will still try to land you at night on 8/26 even with out them. Also an NDB has been installed. Runways 14 and 8 have got a right hand circuit and an AI aircraft on touch and go.
It’s hard to believe that during the Second World War on November 4th 1943 a B-17F Flying Fortress of 351st Bomb Group based at Polebrook in Northamptonshire made a emergency landing in cloudy weather at Ipswich, how about doing a re run of that.
