Popular Post Pilot Plus Posted September 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 20, 2021 The Pilot Plus team are pleased to announce one of our current projects, London Biggin Hill for Microsoft Flight Simulator! The Pilot Plus team are working closely with airport management to enable the creation of the most realistic and accurate digital twin of Biggin Hill. Biggin Hill is in the London Borough of Bromley, placing it within close proximity of Central London. The airport is a popular choice for private and charter flights and is rich with history, most notably the role the airport played in the Battle of Britain. The environment will capture the essence of the airfield and be at the level of detail you have come to expect from a Pilot Plus product. Also known as ‘Biggin on the bump’, the digital twin in Microsoft Flight Simulator will include accurate terrain for the airport and surrounding area. This will be at an impressive 1 metre resolution, including the runway slope. The team spent significant time capturing airside reference of both new and old infrastructure, on foot and from the sky by helicopter. Here are a handful of renders of some of the iconic infrastructure at Biggin. You can view more previews on our press release https://pilotplus.io/announcing-biggin-hill-airport/ 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sniper31 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 (edited) With these preview shots and your description, one can already tell how much you are focusing on how to make this very special, historic airport developed in the right, honorably way. I will be watching this development in earnest Cheers! Landon Edited September 20, 2021 by Sniper31 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasternT3 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 (edited) Great little airport. I wonder if you would consider adding the Formula 1 Building that's pretty much adjacent to the airfield, and then when we get a 146 we can fly the proper FOM ops. Thanks Edited September 22, 2021 by EasternT3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pipeorgan Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Don’t forget the Spitfire Hangar, my real life flight is booked for next month. Instant buy for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flsm (Frank) Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I love visiting this airport when in the UK from Melbourne, Australia. Will you be including the beautiful RAF Chapel and new Museum, and the Spit and Hurricane at the entrance gates to the chapel and museum? How about including Winston Churchill’s nearby home, Chartwell - he was a frequent visitor to the airport - it would be a nice bonus, but now I’m being greedy! Cheers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To fly in a spit has always been my dream. My wife says go for it, but I think too expensive. On my last visit to the UK I was standing on the top of Dover Castle with my wife and son when two spits flew by. They thought it was OK - but I nearly peed myself! Anyway, hope you have great weather and it is everything you want it to be. How long is the flight and how much? Cheers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think UK and NZ are only places where you can go in a Spit. BTW, how the hell did you get to 36.6K posts! Cheers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is very expensive but I am very lucky as it is a birthday present. It is a 45 min flight to Beachy Head with a victory roll etc. included. I will also be able to take control at some stage so I am practising at the moment with the FlyingIron Simulations Spitfire in msfs2020 in VR. The whole experience is about 2 hours see https://flyaspitfire.com/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
