Friday I downloaded the Ukmil C-17 Globemaster which is a really nice model. I had Virtavia's a few years ago and actually flew a lot of hours with the Virtual Air National Guard until they shut down to re-organize the VA. Since I have been so involved with the Buccaneer thread, (I also flew a bit with a VA in Cliffs Of Dover years ago when it first came out, a Yank in an Eagle Sqn.) I also flew a P51 from East Wretham in the 359th FG in a VA that I formed for awhile. That is my background in the UK and interest in RAF. So...... I started research where the RAF C17s were based and came up with Brize-Norten. Now to find the scenery for it. Nick Black's FS9 version may have worked in FS9 but it does not in FSX unlike RAF Honington which meshed so beautifully. All Nick's scenery is FS9 Black and flat and there was no flatten for the airfield as far as I can tell because the runway was in a ditch. Then I was so excited to find a beautiful version in MAIW except it is ONLY for P3DV4.5-5 and it crashes FSX when you try to fly from it. Finally, Duncan MacKellar did one for FSX which though using all default buildings nothing custom-made has an accurate AFCAD for 2011 when it was made. This thread is started because I have an up to date AFCAD for 2021 and populated the airfield with default buildings and Ted's RAF buildings though WWII its ok with me. I also made two photoreal textures for it which line up perfectly with the Google Earth that I used to lay it out. I finally just downloaded the A330M tankers, A400M Transports, C130 Transports and flight plans for them. Looking forward to setting it up in FSX and flying my C-17 from here all around. I am awaiting an answer on a message I sent out to share more.
