    Beschreibung

    The Bristol and Gloucestershire Gliding Club (EGSZ) 

    A popular gliding club based near the village of Nympsfield on the Cotswold Edge in Gloucestershire. The club  has around 140 flying members, a fleet of club owned gliders, two Skylaunch winches and a tug aircraft available, with about 60 privately owned gliders operating on site.

    Their website https://bggc.co.uk/ has a number of documents for visiting pilots wishing to enjoy the local soaring opportunities through the year; both in thermal and on the ridges, as well as occasional wave flights.

    The E/W 510m grass runway at 700' altitude is available for winch and tug launches using the Kinetic Assistant mod.

    Library assets used are:
    https://flightsim.to/file/1923/mikea-at-assetpack

    All the libraries should to be in your community folder and I would recommend the latest versions are downloaded from https://www.flightsim.to/c/scenery/libraries/

    v0.3 Skylaunch 2 winch added to the field and also a parking spot to spawn in cold and dark added

    v0.2 Correction to landing area which is to the North of the visible track that runs the full length of the field. This track is is not used for landing and is reserved for the winch cables and winch cable pulling vehicles

    v0.1 Basic terraforming without flattening the strip completely and scenery placement

    An early look at Rendcombe Aerodrome, 5 miles North of Cirencester. A very very simple scenery pack, I added the airport as PZ18 and put a windsock in the field lol  https://drive.google.com/file/d/14equxIApwI0hJu8gE3rE1GfeivxhyO4E/view?usp=sharing

    Hi Kev! I really like the attention you have paid to this local field. One little matter - the runway headings seem to be 09/27; shouldn't they be 07/25 (77M/257M)?

    Regards

    Hi David, yup they should be but I've aligned the runway with the bing data and that's what the airstrip bearing is based on. Kev

    Nice little airfield in a very nice location. Would be nice to have a parking spot or two for cold and dark starts though.

    That can be arranged lol. I'm working on the Piper Pawnee tug plane for the scenery so I can add a parking spot when that is finished

    Thanks a lot for the update, I really appreciate it! The starting spot is on a bit of a slope but that adds a little bit of challenge which I don't mind but it did catch me by surprise the first time I released my parking brake and started rolling back lol

    Like your Aston Down and just downloaded this to try later. I have flown at both locations in the past. Would be great if you could do Mendip Gliding Club at Halesland (Near Cheddar). Add Usk and Keevil and the set would be complete. Thanks for your work (I did add objects to all these fields in FSX but haven't got into scenery design for MSFS yet).

    Another "local" gem ... many thanks!!!! Is there still a grass strip at Rendcomb? I once went up in a Stearman from there.

    I did find some documents on their website that had a list of local strips that were in use. Rendcomb was on that list along with 15+ other sites, I'll see if I can find it again. Here you go :) https://bggc.co.uk/visiting-pilots/
