London Southend Airport – EGMC v0.8
Firstly, a big thank you to all those who have supported and contributed to my previous airport mods. Its great to know you are enjoying my hard work.
London Southend Airport, UK
I started this project to make a completely accurate payware quality version of this airport. Unfortunately I realise I don’t have the 100’s of hours needed to complete it, and also Pilot Plus have announced their payware version of this airport.
The good news is that apart from some missing custom models of the hangars, I have completed all functioning parts of the airport, and most of the cosmetic parts.
If this aiport is well received, I may attempt to complete the modelling of the remaining buildings.
I hope you enjoy it!
