FSX RAF Stronsay Scenery

RAF Stronsay (EGER) brings a believable WWII-style Royal Air Force airfield to the Orkney Islands, roughly 30 NM north of Scapa Flow, with custom hangars, period details, and lighthearted scene touches around the gatehouse and facilities. Built for FSX, it includes published VOR 114.00 and NDB 330.00 navigation aids.

RAF Stronsay. Presenting RAF Stronsay airfield. A real airfield but redesigned as it might have been used in WW II. This is located about 30 nm north of Scapa Flow, the site of the Royal Navy's ships in WW I and II. ICAO and navaid numbers are in the readme file. Wry humor is evident in a couple of places. Notice the items in the gate guard house, the outhouse and the military personel done by John dutton of Malta, who sadly passed away May, 2010. By Robert Lacy.

It was never used for this purpose even though it seems as if it should have been. Stronsay is only about 30 some odd NM north of Scapa Flow. I built up this area for this purpose, just for the fun of it. Soon Scapa Flow will be on line which was designed by about 4 or 5 of us, me included. Scapa Flow was a fun project to work on. RAF Stronsay (RAF of course is for Royal Air Force) is just my add-on...something to have fun with along with Scapa Flow, soon to come out.

icao is EGER
VOR is 114.00
NDB is 330.00

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.
