FSX Manton Airfield Scenery

Manton Airfield in the UK brings a distinctive short, undulating strip and steep 1-in-6 taxiway down to the hangars, turning microlight operations into a precision exercise with rewarding climbs back up. Built for Microsoft Flight Simulator X, it requires Neil’s Microlights South-West and complements Horizon VFR terrain.

Manton Airfield, UK. For users of Neil's Microlights South-West although it can be used with the default Horizon VFR sceneries as well although the scenery will not be visible. Quite a short strip but with a hump in the middle (courtesy of Horizon's terrain model) the most challenging part is the taxi down the 1 in 6 taxiway to the hangars/factory, the trip back up is something else but can easily be accomplished by the default ultralight--a very challenging ride.
