FSX Alf's UK Airfields Volume 6 Scenery

This freeware package offers enhanced depictions of three smaller UK airfields in Microsoft Flight Simulator X. It refines default scenery by adding more detail and improving overall aesthetics, yet it remains grounded in standard FSX objects. Created by Alf Denham, this volume focuses on EGHJ Bembridge, EGTU Dunkeswell, and EGBK Sywell/Northampton. Each location is repositioned and populated according to data from real-world references, ensuring a practical and more immersive flying environment.

Key Airports and Customizations

• Bembridge (EGHJ): Situated on the eastern end of the Isle of Wight, this general aviation strip has updated hangars, taxiway markers, and simplified structures to reflect public imagery while retaining default FSX elements.
• Dunkeswell (EGTU): Located in Devon, this historic ex-RAF field features adjusted parking spots and additional building models for a more accurate small-airport feel, all derived from aerial mapping (such as Google Earth) and flight guidance materials.
• Sywell/Northampton (EGBK): Known for grass runways and a classic layout, Sywell is upgraded with generic FSX library objects placed via the FSX SDK Object Placement Tool and Airport Design Editor. It has improved signage and modest 3D enhancements.

Development Resources Used

All modifications rely solely on standard FSX scenery data, meaning there are no custom 3D models beyond the platform’s default libraries. References include Google Earth, Pooley’s UK Flight Guide, and Airport Design Editor v1.26. The developer tested these fields exclusively within FSX SP2, so performance may differ if Service Pack 1 or SP2 are not fully installed.

Installation and Removal

The necessary steps for adding these revised airfields are documented within the included readme files. To remove the scenery at any time, delete the installed folder components from your simulator directory and restore any original files if needed.

Designed for simmers who want richer small-field visuals, this collection bridges the gap between stock scenery and realistic UK aerodromes. The objective is not precise replication but rather a faithful upgrade using basic library assets. This release is authored by Alf Denham.
