Has anyone got RAF Honington scenery for FSX I've got the FS9 version but the trees are not showing up correctly.

I thought Ian MacCartney was doing it - he certainly put it out for MSFS. Nothing is listed at https://www.freewarescenery.com/fsx/uk.html.

Again, the UK2000 VFR series includes it, but it's in the state the RAF Regiment turned it into, which probably isn't very helpful! Where's the FS9 version? I can have a look and see if replacing the trees is doable.

Hi Tim

Its on FlightSim hope you can help. The scenery isn't bad to be honest.

Ah, the old UKMil one - of which I think Ian McCartney was on the design team, and some of their sceneries were very good indeed. I'll have a look and see what I can do.

Thanks Tim. Now going through my traffic files to find out why I'm getting GA parking in combat parking spots..

Hi John. This is the airfield in P3Dv5. Surprisingly, it works pretty well, so it should work just fine in FSX. There are a couple of missing textures (it may need a UKMil Common Library for these), but everything seems to work ok. The trees are all from the MTrees directory, which are in the MAIW Global Library, IIRC, so if you have that you should be fine. I converted the various libraries in the scenery, but I had no need to do anything with the trees as I already had them Indeed, they aren't in the scenery at all - only placings are in it - so all you should need to do is make sure you have an FSX-compatible version of whichever library they're in.

Do you use Traffic Global, or one of the older Just Flight traffic programs? For some reason, they bung a lot of GA traffic into EGXH! Of course, in this scenery there are only Mil_Combat parking slots, so they'll park in those if they can't find anything else.

The site is now moribund, and I assume The Gaffer has left the field. There was a half-hearted attempt to revitalise UKMil about 5 or 6 years ago, but I think that most of the 'talent' from there and ACG had all relocated to MAIW, or gone solo, so it never caught on. Let me see what I've got - as I say, I'm seeing some missing textures, so I may not be able to help.

Thanks Tim. Removed all the GA Traffic but still seeing parking in the Combat parking. So frustrating.
