    RAF Leuchars
    The Royal Air Force station at Leuchars opened on 16 March 1920, although its association with the military can be traced back to 1911 when military balloons were operated at the site. During its history the site was used as a RNAS fleet fighter station and later as a RAF Coastal Command airfield. Throughout the Cold War and beyond, the station was home to fighter aircraft which policed northern UK airspace. The station also hosted an annual International Airshow.

    Transfer to the Army
    On 18 July 2011, Defence Secretary Liam Fox announced that RAF Leuchars would close as part of the Strategic Defence and Security Review 2010, with the station being transferred to British Army control in 2015 and the Typhoon aircraft based at Leuchars moving to RAF Lossiemouth in Moray.

    In preparation for the closure, RAF Leuchars Mountain Rescue Team disbanded in November 2013 whilst No. 58 Squadron of the RAF Regiment and No. 6 Force Protection Wing disbanded on 10 May 2014. No. 6 Squadron was the first Typhoon unit to depart Leuchars, heading for its new home at Lossiemouth in June 2014. No. 1 Squadron followed on 8 September 2014, at which point responsibility for Quick Reaction Alert (North) was transferred from Leuchars to Lossiemouth.

    Control of Leuchars was transferred to the British Army on 31 March 2015, when it was renamed Leuchars Station. The term 'station' was used as the size of the installation is smaller than a garrison but larger than a barracks and to reflect the range of army and RAF occupants. The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards gradually relocated from Germany in the spring and summer of 2015 along with 2 Close Support Battalion of the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers and 110 Provost Company, Royal Military Police. The transition from RAF to Army control was considered to have gone smoothly by Fife Council in terms of its impact on the local community.

    In February 2018, local Councillors suggested that the name of the installation be changed as it could be confused with Leuchars Railway Station.[9]

    RAF Typhoon FGR4 aircraft and the Quick Reaction Alert (Interceptor) North capability operated from Leuchars between 10 August and the week commencing 16 October 2020 whilst the intersection of RAF Losisemouth's two runways was resurfaced.

    Hello,
    Thanks for all your good sceneries, much appreciated. I am installing this scenery for MSFS24 and am confused about the 2 folders. I looked for an explanation on the website but could not find one,
    How to install? Shall I copy both folders in the community or do I have to replace some files... Waiting for your answer to go forward. Thanks in advance

    Thanks Nick for this version of Leuchars. Really enjoying using the airfield. Quite a few detachments here in the past and St Andrews is always worth a visit. I'm using it in MSFS 2024 and he engineering site looks great with the hangars and has sites. The domestic areas behind the hangars though are tainted with the way FS24 AI interprets the map which is really frustrating. The guard room has grown floors and looks like a hotel and the accommodation blocks have become an industrial park. The important areas though are all good.

    Thankyou, Nick, for this excellent scenery of RAF Leuchars and for all your other packages which add so much to the simulator. I recently downloaded and installed the Leuchars update for MSFS 2020 sim update 16, but have since encountered a terrain issue causing a step which follows the edges of a large polygon which can be seen in the terrain debugger. I have over time made some tweaks to your scenery for my own use, including a polygon to get rid of the offending buildings which your update addresses, but I deleted mine in the SDK, and the yellow polygon visible in the image does not appear for editing when I open my package. My polygon was also not a terraforming one, so should have had no effect on the terrain, but could there be some residual effest which I have overlooked?

    I recompiled my additional scenery a couple of times and reloaded your Leuchars update and everything is OK now. It must have been something hanging or clashing with the polygons. Sorry to raise a false alarm.

    to update you on this i have just added the update on my second pc and also the world updates and all seems ok my end, i can only assume the problem is with something your modded version did, or sometimes when i open a scenery pack up you get a step in the world mesh thats not there in sim.

    Unfortunately in 2024 (you asked for feedback) the individual hangars are clashing with the default scenery.

    And I much prefer the look of the old buildings on the west apron to the new green boxes, but I blame the Ministry of Defence for that, not you.

    I have noticed it is only for some of the textures.
    Guys referenece the star rating, I didnt even notice what I had selected, as I was busy writing my review, which pretty much sings the praises for all of the scenery you have produced. I didn't expect to be slated for an honest mistake but thanks anyway.
    I will try winrar . Thank you.

    firstly 1 star before we have even tried to sort your issue out!!
    what is the error you are getting?
    when you download it, unzip it in the downloads folder then copy and paste into your community folder, sometimes if the zip is dragged and dropped the long file warning pops up, ive just tried it on my laptop and the zip works for me, let me know if this works

    So you download and use Nickb007s sceneries a lot but you have the gall to give a 1 star on something that has taken ours of his and other peoples works and due to your own doing failed to load it correctly and before consulting the maker. Its beautiful and works first time if you do it right.

    try using winrar to unzip it, that handles long file names better than windows
