    Beschreibung

    Royal Air Force Fairford or more simply RAF Fairford (IATA: FFD, ICAO: EGVA) is a Royal Air Force (RAF) station in Gloucestershire, United Kingdom. While being an RAF station, Fairford hosts United States Air Force personnel. Since 2019, the base has played host to a Lockheed U-2S Dragon Lady detachment from the 99th Expeditionary Reconnaissance Squadron. It is the USAF's only European airfield for heavy bombers and routinely supports Bomber Task Force (BTF) operations. Its most prominent use in recent years has been as an airfield for United States Air Force B-52s during the 2003 Iraq War, Operation Allied Force in 1999, and the first Gulf War in 1991.

    First of all, thank you for your work on the RAF Fairford scenery, which is very enjoyable to use.

    I would like to report a visual issue regarding ground textures. In some areas of the airport, different surface textures seem to overlap, resulting in a “striped” or flickering effect.

    After several tests in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 (with no other addons active), this appears to be related to a layering issue (likely Z-fighting), possibly caused by a conflict between the scenery textures and the default ground surface.

    Do you think this could be related to MSFS 2024 compatibility (materials or apron layering)? Would a future update potentially address this issue?

    Thank you again for your work, and I look forward to seeing this scenery evolve with full MSFS 2024 optimization.

    thank you, i will have a look at this in 24, it may be where aprons overlap, which 2020 dosen't worry about but it may be different in 24

    Can we get a version or update to files to remove the static B2 Aircraft from the hangars so we can spawn in those spots/park in the hangars?

    Is anyone having the same texture problem at Fairford. I have removed everything from my community folder other than anything associated with this package, but I still get the texture problem. I have uploaded a screenshot of the issue. Any help appreciated.

    Have just tried by adjusting time and yes it does change with the time of day. At midday it looks natural when I push it to say 20.00 hours it looks like the screenshot I uploaded. Thanks for replying to my problem.

    Superb as always. You can feel like you are there during RIAT. Open hangars :) I'm still dreaming that maybe one day Plant 42 will become available.

    thank you for the Donation, it will come one day but its a massive undertaking making all the custom buildings, the UK update put me back a lot with all the map changes and random buildings the sim added in strange places.

    Hi, loving your work on UK military airfields and updates, I just updated this tonight. I'm seeing some missing (pink checkerboard) textures when approaching RW27 just before the runway on what I can only think is related to ILS . I think I've managed to add a screenshot correctly

    do you have the UK2000 custom Library package installed? Its free on the marketplace, the ILS model is from there, let me know if its still pink, I will make my own model eventually

    This is amazing! - With EGVA being my local military base! - I have selected to install the Kalitta livery for the Salty 747-8 but can't find the actual plane in flightsim.to (I'm sure I've seen it before but lost it!)

    Thanks Nick, I found it, it wasn't in flightsim.to - it was in FBW Installer, I knew I'd seen it somewhere
