Lovely. Will be interesting to see how much of an effect on FPS this'll have compared to the FS9 versions. Thanks for the heads up!

Seems to be pretty easy on FPS (testing it on dense scenery complexity). Some nice touches added to the FSX versions, such as birds flying about at the airport and sheep inhabiting nearby fields.
If it's not going to dent my bank account too much, then I'll certainly look at buying it when it's released.
Not too sure about the Su-27s inhabiting Kemble, though. :o

Tweek me neither, i spotted them and wondered... Where did they scrounge them from? Other than that looks good but i dont think its upto the old FS9 UK2000 series...

I think some objects are default FSX ones. Maybe the Su27s are one of those
Huge improvement over default scenery in any case. Hardly any frame hit. Definitely on my shopping list.

Gary's stuff was always of the highest quaity, and when you look at the list of airfields that will be in the final release!!!!
Definately on the list. Can't wait for the North of England though

The easiest thing to do is to delete the EG**_AIRCRAFT.bgl for each airport, so you don't get the static aircraft. I'd rather have none around (or proper AI) than Russian fighter jets at civilian UK airports!

Yep - and the Schweizer 2-32's littering the gliding fields don't help either - no 2-32's in Europe -and they aren't really that common in the USA -Aerosoft have done the same in their German Airfield sceneries - takes away from the realism f0r me-pity when their are plently of European gliders available (i.e.Wolfgang Pipers)

To be fair to Gary, this is a demo. If its anything like the UK2000 series, the installer allowed you to pick if you wanted the static stuff or not. I wouldn't judge the finished product totally on this demo. Look at his other work and that should give you some idea of the quality. I had the full series for FS9 and his FSX stuff (thus far) is even better. ;-)
