Lydd Airport
Also known as London Ashford Airport, and previously known as Lydd Ferryfield, Lydd International Airport has had a colourful history. The Airport was built exclusively for Silver City Airways after the Second World War and before the introduction of commercial hovercraft and cross channel ferries, Lydd Airport was the primary means of hopping the English channel to Le Touquet Airport in France, and the rest of Europe.

Also known as London Ashford Airport, and previously known as Lydd Ferryfield, Lydd International Airport has had a colourful history. The Airport was built exclusively for Silver City Airways after the Second World War and before the introduction of commercial hovercraft and cross channel ferries, Lydd Airport was the primary means of hopping the English channel to Le Touquet Airport in France, and the rest of Europe. Today, Lydd boasts a busy flying club, aerial tours and a number of cargo and cross channel charter companies.
Lydd sits on the Dungeness Peninsular in Southern Kent, the largest expanse of shingle beach in Europe and also the only true desert in Great Britain. The strong winds, lack of plant and animal life and harsh surroundings make Lydd a truly unique place to visit, and it sits in stark contrast to the lush greenery of the rest of the Kent countryside.
Lydd International Airport has been recreated faithfully over many hundreds of hours by Burning Blue Design’s modellers and coders and features:
- Over 40 custom 3D objects have been created exclusively for Lydd Airport, each with full Physical Based Rendering (PBR) allowing for far more realistic textures.
- The Bristow Her Majesty’s Coastguard Hangar at Lydd has been modelled accurately, both inside and out along with a compliment of HM Coastguard Sikorsky S-92 helicopters.
- There are thousands of carefully placed stock assets, every bush, road marking, crate and beacon, along with an assortment of ground workers has been placed in it’s correct location ensuring an atmosphere of a working airport.
- 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.
- Correct AI pattern procedures and accurate taxiway and runway placement have been incorporated into the release.
- Surrounding landmarks have been created and placed in their correct locations to improve visual navigation, these include: Denge Marsh Water Tower, Dungeness A Power Station, Dungeness B Power Station, Dungeness Old Lighthouse, Dungeness New Lighthouse, Lydd Golf Club and The Denge Acoustic Mirrors.
- Shipping lanes in the English channel have been populated with container ships and tankers.
- Full night lighting placed across the aerodrome and within and around the hangars and terminal building.
- New waterways for the Dungeness Headland have been created, including the entirety of the Dengemarsh sewage system which has been remapped faithfully.
- New desert scrub Biome for the Dungeness Headland to reflect it’s status as the only true desert within Great Britain.

Fairoaks Airport
Located southwest of London between Chobham and Chertsey in Surrey, Fairoaks is a general aviation airport operated by Fairoaks Operations Ltd.
Fairoaks opened as a private airstrip in 1931, but was used by the military from 1936 and became RAF Fairoaks during World War II. It was used as a training airfield, with No. 18 Elementary & Reserve Flying School equipped with De Havilland Tiger Moths. 6,000 pilots were trained at the airfield.

Fairoaks opened as a private airstrip in 1931, but was used by the military from 1936 and became RAF Fairoaks during World War II. It was used as a training airfield, with No. 18 Elementary & Reserve Flying School equipped with De Havilland Tiger Moths. 6,000 pilots were trained at the airfield. In 1968 the Alan Mann Group took control of the airfield, later constructing the hard runway in 1979.
In 2015, it was announced that the airport would be closed to build a 1,500 unit housing development to be known as “Fairoaks Garden Village”. This has resulted in a years-long battle to save this historic airport. On 15 February 2022, the original control tower was decommissioned, being replaced by a temporary control room provided by Helipad Aviation Services located adjacent to taxiway B. Recent works to the west side of the airport, have also put taxiway A out of action.
Fairoaks Airport has been accurately recreated by Burning Blue Design’s modellers and coders with on-site visits, and features:
- Over 80 custom 3D objects have been created exclusively for Fairoaks airport, each with full Physical Based Rendering (PBR) textures.
- Based on 2022 visits to Fairoaks.
- Includes new ‘temporary’ control tower adjacent to taxiway B.
- High resolution colour corrected ground textures.
- Working custom Windsocks.
- Open hangar parking and café interiors.
- Two Isuzu TACR3 Fire Trucks with realistic liveries.
- Also included is ‘Firebird 3’, in honour of the retired Ford F-150 which was based at Fairoaks until 2019.
- Dynamic scenery and lighting, which change realistically depending on the time of day and weather.
- Correct Tower frequency, AI pattern procedures and accurate taxiway placement. (Taxiway A has been left active to reflect a fully operational airport)
- McLaren Technology Centre and Production Centre POI.

- 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.

And the best part is, it all happened that way in reality!
WHAT IS THE BACKGROUND?
Almost every year in the 1950s an expedition was started to reach one of the most difficult and dangerous eight-thousander, the Dhaulagiri in the central Himalaya. But as none of these expeditions made it to the summit, in 1960 the Dhaulagiri remained the highest unconquered mountain in the world.
These bushtrips tell the story of some young men who set out from Europe in 1960 in a small aircraft to take part in one of the most fantastic adventures of modern times, eventually climbing to the summit of Dhaulagiri!
Their aircraft was the one-year-old prototype of the Pilatus PC-6 Porter with the registration HB-FAN, whose eye-catching red and yellow color scheme provided high visibility, and which was nicknamed Yeti.
And these were the adventures that these men together with little Yeti had:
- Flight from Switzerland to Nepal over 8 daily stages.
- Twice improved the today still standing world record for the highest landings and takeoffs of fixed-wing aircraft.
- Landing on a temporary airstrip on Kathmandu’s parade ground.
- Airshow over Kathmandu.
- Glacier landings in the Himalaya.
- Establish an air transport network between the highest ever used airstrips.
- Having to circle around the tower until receiving landing clearance by a green lightgun after the radio failed.
- Perform an emergency landing after an engine failure.
WHAT IS INCLUDED?
In this package you find 17 bushtrip, each containing all flights the real Yeti made on a particular day in spring 1960. Each bushtrip includes between one and four flights. Each individual flight is carefully recreated based on the book “The Ascent of Dhaulagiri” by Max Eiselin, the leader of the expedition. Since each daily stage is a separate bushtrip, you can not only operate the flights in chronological order, but also start with any daily stage at any time.
WHAT ARE THE FEATURES?
- Detailed information about the flights, routes, and waypoints in the navlog.
- Everything you need to know will be explained comprehensively, like glacier landing procedures, engine failure handling, loss-of-communication procedures, air show figures, classical navigation methods and fuel management.
- Detailed illustrations provide guidance on the geography and correct execution of the various procedures.
Besides the bushtrips, this package also includes . . .
- 90 km2 of aerial imagery covering generic terrain in the Dhaulagiri area.
- 3 static sceneries (Gadani shipwrecking yard, temporary airstrip for the airshow, tent basecamp of the UK expedition).
- 2 dynamic sceneries, which change while the expedition progresses (just void plains of snow when landing the first time, material depot after takeoff, fully ramped up base camps with tents the following days).
Finally, this package also includes an exact replica of the colorful paint job Yeti had!
