FSX Unst Airport Scenery

Unst Airport (EGPW) brings the Shetland Islands’ northernmost airfield to life with a compact, accurate layout suited to short hops and light aircraft, set amid open grassland and coastal scenery. Designed for FSX, it places the tiny Baltasound gateway in context for immersive island operations in northern Scotland.

Unst is largely grassland, with coastal cliffs. Its main village is Baltasound, formerly the second largest herring fishing port after Lerwick and now the location of a brewery, a leisure centre and the island's airport. Other settlements include Uyeasound, home to Greenwell's Booth (a Hanseatic warehouse) and Muness Castle (built in 1598 and sacked by pirates in 1627); and Haroldswick, location of a boat museum and a heritage centre.

A very small airport in the north of Scotland.

How to install this mod

FSX / P3D scenery
  1. Extract the downloaded archive

    Use 7-Zip (free) or WinRAR to extract the ZIP to a temporary folder. Don't install while still zipped — the simulator can't read inside ZIP files.
  2. Place scenery in Addon Scenery

    Create a folder under FSX\Addon Scenery\ containing scenery and texture sub-folders.
  3. Activate in Scenery Library

    In FSX, go to Settings → Scenery Library → Add Area. Higher priority means it overrides lower entries for the same location.
  4. Always read the included readme

    Every mod ships with a readme.txt or README file. It tells you exactly where files go, what dependencies are needed, and any quirks specific to this add-on.

    Just looked at the screen shot for Unst airfield and if my memory serves me correctly there are no trees near the site or on the island except for one small copse. Have just checked on Google and I am correct. No trees near the airport. Sorry to say I will not be downloading it.
