Hello gentlefolks.
I don't normally advertise anything that I create, simply because I normally never get around to it, but as it's been a good couple of years since I actually did anything vaguely useful, I am this time. After this, I'll probably vanish into my own little world again.
Anyway. I've just uploaded the second of two airfields that I have finally got around to completing from my epic WiP collection - one training field and one for which we currently lack an FSX-native aircraft to fly from, but it was a specific request, so I did it.
The first is RAF Sutton Bridge, a fighter OTU station (primarily Hurricanes) in Lincolnshire, dating from the inter-war period and the place where many of pilots that fought in the Summer of 1940 first got their hands on a single engine fighter. It's got three grass runways laid out in the AFD file, although obviously as a non-AI pilot, you can operate from the grass more realistically, simply "into wind". It will work with default scenery, but works best with an add-on that includes better vector data such as UTX, Orbx FTX Global Vector or Orbx England.
The AI aircraft you'll see in all the shots below are John Young's ACG models, from "overload" testing of the AFD files, and are not currently included in the downloads.

The second is RAF Elvington, a Bomber Command station just outside York, which was almost entirely home to Halifax types under the control of 77Sqn, then Free French Squadrons. Unfortunately we don't currently have a native FSX Halifax, so overload testing was done using John Young's BBMF Lancaster. You can, of course, operate anything you want from it.
These days, Elvington is still present as a heavily modified, but unused, USAF SAC Cold War forward base. It's also hope to Yorkshire's aviation museum which, unlike us, does have a native Halifax!
