For my first attempt at MSFS modelling I chose my local airfield Sleap (EGCV) where I gained my PPL. Please note that this is a living project that I am still actively working on. All custom objects were created by myself in Blender, many using textures taken at Sleap airfield with my phone camera. Of the many elements modelled, the more difficult were the custom animated Windsock, Flag, Landing 'T', and wind turbine. I have learn't much since I started this project, if only I knew then what I know now!
It's local to me, and my son Alex volunteers there occasionally particularly during Sleapkosh !

G-LAMS was originally at Liverpool where I learnt to fly.
BTW you have a well deserved donation from me

Hi David,
Many thanks for the donation, glad you like it.
The model looks okay from a distance, but is a bit rough around the edges close up. Creating a livery was a steeper learning curve than I anticipated. However, now my knowledge of the process has increased (from zero), I'll endeavour to create a better quality livery add-on for the sim in the future. I have many logbook entries for G-LAMS.
Best regards,
Phil

Only just noticed, the windsocks at the fuelling area "fly" in opposite directions. Suggest you modify them to point in the correct direction; I'm not sure if either of them point in the correct direction

Looks very realistic having visited both by air and land.
My only request is for a few open hangars with some interest inside
😁

Well done Bailsoft, a nice redition of Sleap. Now do I use your version or Dabba's.
I regularly flew out of Sleap until the pandemic but then poor health meant I had to hang up my hedset. I look forward to what additions/improvements you make to EGCV

Thanks viper6. I can't possibly comment on whose version to use; all I can say is I use mine.

Looks really good. Sleap is my local airfield (unfortunately, I only get to fly RC there) and this looks and feels spot on.

Thanks smorgo. It's starting to take shape, but plenty more to do yet!
