…for which people can now be very glad, because it means no more seabird related puns for a while.
Under the new “MSFS Scenery” tab on the top toolbar (or more directly here) you will find a download page and some screenshots for RNAS Twatt, where I have given up tinkering and poking and decided to set it loose on an unsuspecting world.
I’ve also uploaded it to flightsim.to, but whether they’ll approve it or not, I cannot say, with that name attached!
Enjoy, ignore, be sarcastic about and/or tell your friends about, as you will.
In association with this release, the scenery libraries page now also has links to the MSFS libraries required to see and use Twatt properly, but that’s still under the FSX/P3D tab at present. I shall sort that out as soon as I have more time.

Tern, Tern Again…
Finished? No. Not quite . Quite a lot of it still needs poking, prodding and generally tweaking, but it’s reached a point where I think it’s worth letting other people who might be interested have a poke at it themselves again, as well.

Following on from the previous post and some natter on both Twitter and the Dreamsofwings Discord, I’ve uploaded a new “buildings complete, some other gubbins” build of HMS Tern / RNAS Twatt in Orkney for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 (not FSX/P3D), which is now available via this link.
Please be advised, however, that because this includes all the models I’ve converted so far (whether used in this scenery or not), all the vehicle models that stiz has kindly updated with new materials and made a bit smoother for me (whether used in this scenery or not), the file size is “quite big”.
Because this isn’t a release and there are still a number of outstanding problems with the scenery that are bugging me, I won’t go into detail on the airfield, its origins, use or much else right now, but it’s hopefully the first of a few. Possibly not as many as I did for FSX/P3D, though, I’m afraid. Plus SODE doesn’t yet work in MSFS (due to Microsoft/Asobo’s decisions) and I can’t yet make a SimObject do what I want it to myself. That’s one of the things I’m working on for X6TW.
RAF Hunsdon – Finally!
So… How long have I been talking about this one, fiddling with this one, tweaking it, poking at it and generally not releasing it? I’ve lost track, but it’s now here, uploaded and released. At last. One more thing that I can tick off “The List”, at least until SODE is updated and I can add all the new functionality that a bug currently prevents from working.
You can find the first airfield I’ve released using only my own object libraries (OK, apart from the fence…) here.
Elvington version 2
I’ve finally got around to uploading RAF Elvington version 2.0 for FSX to the server. It’s been done for a couple of weeks, but I have a number of issues going on with my health at the moment, so it’s taken me way too long to get around to actually packaging and uploading it. It’s now available here, supported by a new release of my scenery objects, which can be found either via the link on the Elvington page, or the top menu bar. I’ll try and get the All in One files updated as soon as possible, to include the new files.
RAF Banff Version 1.0 Release
It’s been a while coming, but I have finally uploaded Version 1.0 of my RAF Banff scenery, which can be found for download here or via the top menu bar under Flight Simulator / Historical / RAF Airfields.
Banff was home to a Mosquito Strike Wing of Coastal Command, operating against shipping and shoreline (primarily) targets across the North Sea and Norway. Situated a very short distance inland from the Moray Firth, this scenery includes many new custom objects, as well as SODE integration and a mesh blend file, to avoid cliffs around the aerodrome. Therefore, there are a couple of new library downloads to go with this.
Taking FlaK… and updating it
It went a bit quiet again, but once more it was actually for a reasonable reason… Mainly that my health took another nosedive, as it tends to. I’m on a double dose of one of my medicines for a while.
Anyway, I haven’t been completely idle, it’s just taken me lot longer to do things and one of the things that’s had some fixes and a lick of paint is the FlaK38 “Flakvierling” that sits on most of my Luftwaffe airfields.
A couple of new old pages
I’ve finally got around to creating new pages for two existing airfields – one of which had a page on the old site, the other one didn’t and has just been packaged up for the first time on its own. The two pages are RAF Middle Wallop (Historical RAF) and “Al Bardi” Airfield (Historical Luftwaffe, Fictional)
They can be found via the menu at the top of the website.
Yegads, sah! It’s a whole new scenery, what?!
Here’s something I haven’t done for a while… It’s a whole new scenery at version 1.0!
To go with the release of the new Aeroplane Heaven Hawker Typhoon Mk.Ib, I said I’d give it somewhere to fly from… to which Aeroplane Heaven very graciously supplied me with the model to fly out of it. I’ve actually made two and am working on a third, the first of which is B.7 Advance Landing Ground, at Martragny in Calvedos, France.
