Expert Overview

This scenery mod for Microsoft Flight Simulator brings Gloucestershire Airport (EGBJ) to life with over 40 meticulously hand-crafted hangars and buildings. Drawing on firsthand knowledge from living near the real airport, the developer has created an authentic layout that matches the heart of the Cotswolds’ most iconic general aviation hub.

Featuring accurately modeled active runways 09/27 and 04/22 with a parallel grass strip, the package delivers a thriving general aviation atmosphere. From detailed structures to the decommissioned 18/36 runway now used as a taxiway, you’ll experience the busy flight training and aviation community that makes EGBJ a must-have addition to any MSFS collection.

Overview of Gloucestershire Airport (EGBJ) in the simulator after the mod was installed. The scenery features hand-placed and custom-modeled buildings (40 hangars) all based on real-world EGBJ. The developer lives in close proximity to the airport so is very familiar with it and has the knowledge and experience to craft a very accurate virtual rendition.

Developer's description

Below is the official description released by the developer for this file.

'The Southwest's Premier General Aviation Airport' and my home airport, I live by the side of the 04 final approach track.

Located near Gloucester and Cheltenham in the heart of the Cotswolds in the UK the Gloucestershire airport is central to the stunning scenery of Gloucestershire and has an active and thriving aviation community. It is home to a number of flying schools and other aviation businesses.

This scenery mod brings forty custom hanger models to MSFS duplicating the real-world buildings and airport layout. 09/27 and 04/22 are the active runways, the 18/36 runway is now closed and used as a taxiway. There is a grass runway parallel to the main 04/22 runway (04R/22L).

My thanks go to Highflyer525 for permission to use some of his work and to Alex S for updated information on the airport.
