About this website

The scenery suppied here free of charge is presented without waranty and at the users risk.  Each scenery set has been installed and tested on X-Plane 10.51 or above and X-Plane 11.26 and 11.30.  Some additional scenery library files may be needed to show all of the scenery.

The scenery files are designed by Paul Pursglove who is a retired biologist and geologist.  His experience as a glider pilot gave him an interest in aviation and he has used many versions of flight simulators over the years. Airport design is a more recent interest and at present, X-Plane is considered to be, by far, the best available flight simulator for non-commercial use on desktop computer systems. In its full form it is a very good commercial training system.

The scenery contained herein is designed to fit onto the X-Plane default scenery. The intention of this website is to provide a free basic set of specific small airport sceneries that will sit easily on mid-range computer systems. Where possible, all elements are normally set to ground level.  This will allow the scenery to sit on different versions of X-Plane reasonably well.  However, there are some instances of changed ground levels and slopes between different versions of X-Plane as the groundmesh has been improved or changed over time. Newer sceneries are now designed within X-Plane 11.30

Many of the airport sceneries come with the earth.wed.xml file included, so that the scenery can be adjusted in WED to fit with Orthographic Scenery or changes in landform. If you download an airport, you may change the nature of the airport to suit your own needs on your own computer system, but you must not trade or distribute the airports or any parts of them to others. These airport sceneries are produced free to use and anyone who wants to use them must download the airport from the website themselves.   Where airports have no significant downloads over time, they may be removed from the site.

Free to use library files are used to populate airports with additional objects to those designed here.  Users will need to install the freeware listed scenery library files from the Installing scenery link on the home page to benefit from the full scenery models.
