View full detailsThe airport looks great, and the undulating runway is fantastic, but I seem to have a problem with the taxiway to 33. A couple of them have holes and huge steps. Ending up breaking my prop aircraft falling down one of these sinkholes. There are a couple in the grass as well. I've taken to using a taxiway near the middle of the runway, and then taxiing up to the start of the runway. Not sure if there's a conflict with something else I have installed, because nobody else seems to mention it. But then, that runway is awesome!!
It’s good scenery but Birmingham has changed quite a bit in the last 12-18 months with stands 1-20 being re-aligned the euro hub has been extended and the embankment on the taxiway down to RWY 15 now has solar panels on them. I was hoping we will see these features added in future updates.
It feels/looks very much like the real EGBB. My main disappointment is about the lack of modelling in the area in front of the terminal entrances. I hope that is part of the updating plan for this scenery.
I can't fly from Birmingham without it these days. It's so much more true to life. Excited for the final buildings to be added, any ETA on that please, devs?
Especially as I worked there previously, and unbelievable that, as an early access development, more is yet to come! Hoping that realistic AI aircraft software will appear soon so that it can be properly populated.
