Expert Overview

EGEY Colonsay Airfield Scenery for X-Plane 11 brings this remote Scottish airport to life with carefully modeled structures and faithful terrain details. Its compact runway, situated a few miles from Scalasaig, offers a truly immersive approach experience, reflecting the real-world schedule of two weekly Hebridean Air Services flights. The use of BS2001, The Handy Object Library, MisterX, and OpenSceneryX ensures rich texture placement and accurate 3D assets designed to blend seamlessly into the beautiful island setting.

Created by developer Rene Bruun, this mod stands out for its authenticity and attention to regional nuances. As a seasoned flight sim enthusiast, I appreciate how it captures the quiet charm of Colonsay while still offering enough realism to keep each landing exciting. In my opinion, it’s a top-tier enhancement for flyers wanting to explore beyond the usual airfields.
