- Transparent and translucent glass panes can appear very dark when subject to particle effects such as rain, snow and fog. This is a known bug that Asobo/Microsoft are aware of and will hopefully fix in the near future.
- In rare occasions the North-side custom ground imagery can be covered by the default photogrammetry ground textures. Symptoms are a clear line between green and brown grass colour close to the Queen Elizabeth Platinum Jubilee Park. Possible workarounds for when this issue is encountered are returning to the main menu and reloading into the airfield, or by turning photogrammetry off, then back on. We continue to investigate the root cause of this behaviour.

Thruxton Aerodrome has a rich history dating back to its establishment in 1917 as a military airfield for the Royal Flying Corps during World War I. It played a crucial role in training pilots for the war effort, and after the war, it was used for civil aviation and recreational flying. During World War II, the aerodrome was once again requisitioned for military use and served as a base for the Royal Air Force’s 38 Group. It played a key role in Operation Market Garden, the largest airborne operation in history. After the war, the aerodrome was returned to civilian use and was taken over by the British Automobile Racing Club (BARC) in 1950. The BARC developed the site into a racing circuit, which has hosted many prestigious races, including the British Touring Car Championship and the British Formula 3 Championship.
In the 1960s, the aerodrome was used for testing the Blue Streak missile, intended to be a nuclear deterrent for the UK. Today, it is primarily used for flying lessons, air displays, and private aviation. The circuit remains a popular venue for motorsport events, with its high-speed corners and challenging layout providing a thrilling experience for drivers and spectators alike.
Thruxton Aerodrome and Race Circuit have been faithfully recreated by Burning Blue Design undertaking on-site visits, ensuring the highest levels of accuracy. It features:
- Over 230 custom 3D objects each with full Physical Based Rendering (PBR) textures
- 2023 layout with accurate runways, taxiways and custom taxi signs

Popham Airfield
Situated along side the A303, just north of Winchester, Popham Airfield is home to the Spitfire Flying Club.
In the early 1970’s the land alongside the A303 was purchased by Jim Espin, a member of the Hampshire Strut of the Popular Flying Association. With the aid of fellow members of the Strut, the land was cleared, levelled, seeded and transformed into an airstrip. The original strip is now the 26/08 runway of the present airfield.

In the early 1970’s the land alongside the A303 was purchased by Jim Espin, a member of the Hampshire Strut of the Popular Flying Association. With the aid of fellow members of the Strut, the land was cleared, levelled, seeded and transformed into an airstrip. The original strip is now the 26/08 runway of the present airfield. In 1978, the airfield was purchased by Charles Church, an avid collector of Spitfires. A second runway was added and the airfield was expanded to include additional hangers.
Today, Popham Airfield welcomes over 10,000 visitors annually and is famous for hosting many events over the year, including the Microlight trade fair in May, the annual Motorcycle Mega Meet, Classic Car Show and Vintage Aircraft Fly-in in August and the New Year’s Day Fly-in.
It is also home to the world’s only “Ikarus C42 As” flight training simulator. This allows the Popham-based flight school, AirBourne Aviation (www. flyMAC. co. uk), to offer flight training to its students no matter the weather conditions. This makes AirBourne Aviation the UK’s ONLY all-weather flight school.
Popham Airfield has been painstakingly recreated by Burning Blue Design’s modellers and coders undertaking multiple on-site visits and flights. We have worked in collaboration with AirBourne Aviation to ensure the highest levels of accuracy. It features:
- Over 160 custom 3D objects have been created exclusively for Popham airfield, each with full Physical Based Rendering (PBR) allowing for extremely realistic textures.
- Thousands of carefully placed stock assets, every cone, car, sign and fence has been placed in it’s correct location ensuring an atmosphere of a working airfield.
- High resolution colour corrected ground textures taken from Bing maps and manipulated for consistency and realism which far surpasses the quality of the stock Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 ground texture.
- Working custom Signal Square, which accurately shows the most suitable runway for the wind conditions.
- Dynamic smoke effects, signs and car park, which change realistically depending on the time of day.
- New control tower built in 2020.
- Based on 2023 layout with over 30 new hangars
- Numerous custom aircraft have been added around Popham to enhance the realism and better reflect actual aircraft found at the airfield:
- Ikarus C42 (AirBourne Aviation school aircraft: G-CCYR and G-CDVI)
- Spitfire F Mk. Ia
- Yakovlev Yak-52 (G-YAKI and G-YAKX – both real aircraft based at Popham)
- Yakovlev Yak-12
- De Havilland Chipmunk
- Correct AI pattern procedures and accurate taxiway and runway placement have been incorporated into the airfield.
- Key navigational landmarks in the surrounding area have been included:
- White Arrow – used by pilots to line up on the offset approach to 26
- Water Tower
- Grain Silos at Micheldever
- Polytunnels – marking the downwind leg of the 08-26 circuit
- BP and Esso fuel stations
- Starbucks (A303 North and South)
- Popham MX Track
- Test Valley Golf Course
- In honour of the car and motorcycle events hosted at Popham, the car park includes:
- 1946 Vespa scooter
- 1955 Volkswagen Transporter ‘T1’
- 1963 Austin Mini
- 1970 Porsche 911

Bodmin Airfield was the development of a dream by local business man, Mike Robertson, founder of Trago Mills, to make aviation available to everyone. In pursuit of this dream, local engineers, The Dingle Brothers were commissioned to construct the airfield on what was once Treswithick Farm. In 1972, the airfield was bought by the Cornwall Flying Club, which, in 1978, became a limited company, Cornwall Flying Club Ltd. In keeping with the original ideals and dreams of its creator, Cornwall Flying Club operates as a non-profit organisation.
It was here that Trago Mills designed and built the Trago Mills SAH-1 in the early 1980s. The SAH-1 derived its name from its designer, Sydney A. Holloway.
The airfield is also home to Cornwall Aviation Services, an aircraft maintenance business.
Bodmin Airfield has been accurately recreated by Burning Blue Design’s modellers and coders with on-site visits, and features:
- Over 30 custom 3D objects have been created exclusively for Bodmin airfield, each with full Physical Based Rendering (PBR) textures.
- Realistic dirt, grime, dust and rust can be seen exactly where it should be, with on-site visits carried out by the team.
- Custom runway terraforming.
- High resolution colour corrected ground textures.
- Working custom Signal Square and Windsocks.
- Control tower and cafe interiors.
- Open hangar parking spot.
- Dynamic scenery objects, which change realistically depending on the time of day.
- Custom aircraft have been included around Bodmin to reflect actual aircraft found at the airfield:
- Cessna 172 Skyhawk (G-EGLA – Bodmin Airfield Flight Training)
- Ikarus C42 (G-CIFZ – Air Cornwall Flight School)
- Correct AI pattern procedures and accurate taxiway placement.

- Transparent and translucent glass panes can appear very dark when subject to particle effects such as rain, snow and fog. This is a known bug that Asobo/Microsoft are aware of and will hopefully fix in the near future.
- Grass is too long – this bug has been introduced by Sim Update 5 and Asobo are aware. We are unable to control grass length in the latest SDK.
- Fuel scenery items cannot be hidden. There is a working fuel parking spot towards the back of Bodmin. Unfortunately Asobo have not provided a way to hide the automatically generated fuel items, so they are hidden behind some bushes until this is fixed.
