Orbx Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Coming this weekend - EGSG Stapleford Airfield for Microsoft Flight Simulator! Located in the Epping Forest district of Essex is Stapleford Airfield which began in the 1930's as Essex Aerodrome and was used by the RAF during the Second World War. Today the airport is home to a family run flight training business with other operators offering charter services and sightseeing flights to London. Originally developed for the ESP platform by the legendary Russ White, this was one of Orbx's first UK airfields. We have rejuvenated this charming airport for Microsoft Flight Simulator, bringing it into line with modern standards required by the sim. The airport has been recreated from on-site photography and is complete with PBR textures and updated to reflect the current runway layout. You will enjoy the bespoke detailing that comes with all the buildings on the airport, thanks to the exclusive airside photos, and the weather influenced groundpoly. Features Faithfully recreated depiction of EGSG Stapleford Airfield crafted from on-site photos Fully custom modelled airport with weathered textures PBR airport buildings with meticulous attention to detail Carefully hand-placed clutter to brings the airport to life True to life ground textures and markings Perfectly located for short flights in the south-east of England Enjoy these screenshots of the soon to release EGSG! 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ripcord Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Just now, Ron Attwood said: I was informed the other day that Americans don't understand 'Bespoke' Just saying. I was about to object to your comment, Ron... then I realized I also don't understand bespoke. evidently it means ' custom-made '.... so how 'about that? learned me some proper English today, didn't I? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Attwood Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 When did I ever say anything objectionable? The very thought! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerTigerM Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Interesting choice. 2 runways, according to my data, 1,941' & 2,305' in length. Won't be taking a 747 in here! But the initial screen shots indicate a high degree of 'character' & it oozes GA suitability. & arriving this weekend! I was rather hoping Stapleford was the English translation of the Swedish word, 'Bromma'. (Derived via Viking inhabitation awhile ago) But, alas, it appears not to be. So, if Stapleford has bespoke detailing then when we are finally blessed with Bromma I am anticipating triple bespoke detailing! TTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtrjones Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Wow nice shots, I love the snow on the cars! Nice touch!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypercide Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 So pleased this is one of the first small English airports to be released. Loved it in XP11. Flew into the default version this past Friday and taxied over that row of special Bing Cessnas flattened onto the grass in the parking area. Looks like this Friday will be better....And now I hope the flood gates for these Orbx English airfields will open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
