FSX Chesterfield Parish Curch Scenery

Chesterfield Parish Church scenery recreates the UK landmark with its 228‑foot Crooked Spire, bringing a distinctive VFR reference point and local character to the landscape. Designed for FSX with compatibility for FS2004, it places the church at the correct coordinates for easy spotting on short touring flights across Derbyshire.

Chesterfield Parish Curch, UK. Chesterfield Parish church stands 228 feet to the tip of the 'Crooked Spire'. Legend has it that a virgin once got married in the church and it was so surprised that it turned to have a look. It is said that if a virgin ever gets married in the church again the spire will become straight. The reason for the deformation is of course the use of green wood by inexperienced craftsmen.

The scenery should run fine in FS2004 but I haven't tested it.

If you want a little tour and have my Hardwick Hall, Haddon Hall and Chatsworth House: Take off from Rwy 28 at Sheffield City Airport. At the end of the runway turn left onto a heading of 185. If you're doing about 100 knots you should hit Chesterfield Church in about 5 minutes. Turn onto a new heading of 135 and you should fly over Hardwick hall in about 4 mins. Turn right onto 280 for about 8 minutes and Haddon Hall should be straight ahead. Turn onto 035 to overfly Chatsworth House and continue on until you pass over Sheffield City Centre and return to the airport with a right turn onto 075.

Check out my other scenery in the Castles and Halls series:
Chatsworth House, Belton House, Haddon Hall, Hardwick Hall, Laycock Abbey, Castle Howard, Harewood House. Sheffield City Centre is an ongoing project. Search for chris brown and you should find the whole collection.

How to install this mod

FSX / P3D scenery
  1. Extract the downloaded archive

    Use 7-Zip (free) or WinRAR to extract the ZIP to a temporary folder. Don't install while still zipped — the simulator can't read inside ZIP files.
  2. Place scenery in Addon Scenery

    Create a folder under FSX\Addon Scenery\ containing scenery and texture sub-folders.
  3. Activate in Scenery Library

    In FSX, go to Settings → Scenery Library → Add Area. Higher priority means it overrides lower entries for the same location.
  4. Always read the included readme

    Every mod ships with a readme.txt or README file. It tells you exactly where files go, what dependencies are needed, and any quirks specific to this add-on.
