FSX Alf's UK Airfields Volume 4 Scenery

Alf's UK Airfields Volume 4. Upgrades many small UK airfields whose default versions have little or no detail. Based on Google Earth and airport guides. This volume includes EGTB Booker and BookerPlus and EGST Elmsett. By Alf Denham.

Although FSX scenery is a great improvement on FS2004, there are still many small airfields in the UK with little or no details.
I have tried to improve this in a small way. I do not have any direct knowledge, or indeed any useful photos of these airfields so do not aim to make them accurate, only better.

They were compiled using aerial views from Google Earth, Pooleys UK Flight Guide, and the FSX SDK Object Placement Tool. I have also previously used AFX v1.04 running under Vista (not recommended by Flight1). The main problem seemed to be in compiling 'excludes'. I have now switched to using the excellent ADE v1.22 which has fixed my exclude problems. It is also possible to alter landclass texures with it, a great improvement. I may update my earlier volumes with it ay a later date.

I only used the standard FSX scenery data (** See note below) so there are no dedicated objects, only generic ones, but I hope it does improve some of the smaller airfields. There may be some slight problems. I find it works OK without OR with FSX SP2 running under Vista with a dual core CPU and an 8800 gfx card but running under Windows XP with a single CPU and 4 year old gfx card and no SP2 a few objects don't appear and it's very slow.

** With the exception of Booker in Vol.4 when I have done an extra version with some Rwy12 objects.
