Jess-b 420 Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 This is an Orbx FTX airport, and as such a copy of FTX: EU Wales must be installed prior to use. Welshpool is the latest in a long line of airports from developers Andreas Hegi, Heiko Glatthorn, and Alex Goff. Previous works include KORS Orcas Island, 1S2 Darrington, and PAHO Homer. The first add-on airport for the Wales region is Welshpool (Mid Wales) Airport. Situated 4 kilometres south of the town of Welshpool, along the River Severn, this charming airfield is host to a lively general aviation scene. Mid Wales Airport is home to the Mid Wales Air Ambulance and host to an annual airshow. Welshpool was initially known as Pool but changed its name in the 1800s to distinguish itself from the English town of Poole. Its most prominent landmark, Powis Castle, sits atop the slopes lining the valley. The castle can be easily seen from the airfield circuit. Additional landmarks in the city include the two churches on the west side of town, Christ Church and St. Mary’s Church, along with two quarries to the northeast. High quality 15 cm/px terrain on airfield Surrounding countryside at 30 cm resolution Realistic PAPI approach lights and runway end lights Realistic HD textures created from on-site photography Extensive control panel Includes Powis Castle, St. Mary's Church, and Christ Church in Welshpool Includes most Orbx Flow tech Expert 5 season colour matched imagery By Andreas Hegi, Heiko Glatthorn, and Alex Goff Grab it now at the discounted price of A$16.20 Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 The EU region definitely needs more entries...glad to see it getting some attention. Seems like NA has been getting most of the DevLove lately... NOT complaining...bragging and snoopy dancing actually. Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Firth 114 Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 I will bet pretty much anything that there will be no new airfields coming from orbx for the uk in the forseeable future...may well pick this one up though Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,314 Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 Maybe they are finally getting over being miffed at the original reaction to the UK region releases, hope they create some more. Not a bad looking airport, I'll probably get it at that price. Link to post Share on other sites
stu7708 244 Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Yep, that will go into my library, as well as ESSA once it's released.... Link to post Share on other sites
Christopher Low 63 Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 I will let you know about compatibility with VFR GenX and ES Shawbury Fields, Kevin. I took an 8 quid gamble on it, and installed it over the weekend. I haven't checked it yet though. As for the very low chance of seeing any more ORBx UK airfields, I think you know my feelings about that 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Jess-b 420 Posted December 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 Gentlemen, I'm afraid I have to lock this thread due to the discussion of modifying the Welshpool airport to work with other scenery. Unfortunately this falls foul of ORBX's EULA and as the post is hosted here on the Hangar, we potentially leave ourselves open to litigation. I hope you understand.Jess BMutley's Crew 1 Link to post Share on other sites
