Microsoft Flight Simulator | EGLK: Blackbushe Airport

Blackbushe is an airport in the Hampshire county. Built during the WWII and first named "RAF Hartfordbridge" was also one of the first home airports to the FIDO (Fog Investigation and Dispersal Operation) system. The Airport was renamed as "RAF Blackbushe" due to confusion over a similar area in Norfolk in 1944, and on November 1946, RAF moved out handing it to the Ministry of Civil Aviation. From that day it became "Blackbushe Airport".

Now it's an ACTIVELY GROWING Airport, with great plans and investments for the future, going in a stage of re-modernization and rehab for it's structures.

This scenery aims to take a snapshot of the actual (2020/ early 2021) Airport Layout.

It's full of details, you'll see yourselves, and the main goal is not just to provide "another airport", but to give the Pilot feelings about it.
We wanted it to trigger some wow-effect to whoever has ever seen it's real life counterpart, and provide accuracy in the layout so anybody can confront real pictures with the virtual airport.

Features:

• 1:1 Scale Buildings, accurately modeled using DOZENS of Reference Pictures (with the help of the great Blackbushe Airport Community Forums)
• Detailed and stunningly accurate layout
• Love for the project and care about details
• Original Sat. Image tweaked to remove imperfections (planes on aprons and grass, helicopters etc)
• Ongoing VFR surroundings references.
• Finetuned navaids to be as close as possible to reality, with tweaked vegetation, correct PAPI lights for GS etc.
• Outstanding night lighting.
