Dave F :hello:
I don't know whether Earthsim's S.E. England works for FS9, but this airport is included.
Not the same detail as ORBX though, and I did a night take off without seeing any strobes (or lovely ladies) :|
Thinking further - ORBX is nearly GIVING CA away - you'll save so much that you can afford to buy FSX out of the change.
The Sim is about the cheapest part these days!
I envy you, working at an airport. I'd happily clean the dunnies just to be there.

Mike , I've terrain and Garry Summons uk 2000 series , and I think that's still pretty real on fs9 . Think 'pooter power would be the prob for FSX . Will have to wait 'til it blows up ! The strobe is on a mob. phone mast , South of the rwy and East of the entrance .
It's been a really miserable winter , and even on Sat we had to cancel 1st trial lesson . A cold front was slow to clear leaving CA dank , grey , and with low cloud . We're 800 ft above sea level and 600 ft above the valley floor . By 1100 wx was great , rest of the day went as planned , but no I did not have clean 't dunnies yesterday ... But I have when required ! Even probably as Ian has on a 74 ... :'( .
All of sudden spring has arrived , and there's a big yellow orb aloft , anyone know wot it is ?

PS , we're not really an airport , more a restaurant with a runway , ...... without the restaurant , there would not be an airfield as we know it . General aviation in the UK is Very difficult to make pay .
