Just a thought for all of you scenery designers who are more prolific than me!

Lovely.

But pretty useless I'm afraid without precise detail on coordinates and distances/dimensions

I've found that MultiMap's aerial shots are great for getting a feel for the airfield, and giving one an idea of what's there - they also show up crop marks really well if you're looking at historic airfields (http://www.multimap.com/map/photo.cgi?& ... cale=10000 will show the end of the old runway at RAF Hemswell, with the old sites for the Thor missiles clearly visible).

I think its useful, I use screen shots from the VFR package (which uses the same souce as multi-map use)

I used it as a background in FSSC.  You can get the runway size etc from either FS itself or check this against other sources.  Then scale (probably around 5m/pixel)and place and test.  You could also let the background image form FSSC visible to set how it compares to the FS default (do no exclude default scenery (Just a bit of trial an error)

I am not sure if the VFR package covers Wales but if you want to do more than one airfield in your area it may be worth it.

Thanks Dan looks like a useful resource

Try to get hold of an out of date BINA (British Isles Noth Atlantic), or a minor aerodromes publication from somewhere - I'm trying to think where. Its an RAF publication (the red book) which will carry all those kind of details.

Come to think of it I could get hold of one quite easily, in fact I probably have one ...
