Expert Overview

This freeware mod brings Brighton City (Shoreham) Airport (EGKA) to life in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 by accurately recreating its historic runways, hangars, and art deco terminal building. Built with the latest SDK, it integrates navigational aids and advanced textures that mirror real-world amenities, making each GA or helicopter flight feel remarkably authentic. Having used and tested this add-on myself, I can confirm its detailed 3D modeling, enhanced weather station, and lovingly rendered structure all capture the true personality of one of the UK's oldest airports.

Beyond the airport grounds, the scenery thoughtfully includes surrounding landmarks such as Shoreham Power Station and distinctive calibration hangars, giving you a compelling sense of place as you traverse the South coast's stunning views. The mod’s attention to detail—down to meticulously maintained grass runways and carefully modelled logos—elevates the simulation experience for anyone seeking immersion, whether you’re a budding flight student or an experienced sim enthusiast.
