About This Content Stornoway Airport (EGPO) lies 2.3 miles (3.7 km or 2 NM) east of the town of Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis, in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland.Association with the Royal Air Force goes back to 1928 when a flying boat landed in Stornoway harbour, long before there was landing ground for wheeled aircraft. Grass runways were completed in 1937 and the airport was taken under military control in 1941. During the period 1986 to 1993, the airport was used as a NATO Forward Operating Base for Air Defence aircraft protecting the fleet, being taken over by the military for six weeks a year.Now operated by Highlands and Islands Airports (HIA), the airport provides domestic passenger services (over 125,000 passengers a year) as well as hosting the HM Coastguard helicopter search and rescue and private aircraft flights. It is the gateway to the Western Isles of Scotland. The Stornoway Airport download from Sim720 has been created as a replica of the real airport. All the buildings within the airport boundary have been hand modelled and textured, and placed with extreme accuracy, while the runways and taxiways are also exact matches to the real world surfaces. The Stornoway package also includes custom auto-generated buildings outside the boundary for further added realism, and airport clutter objects and custom made static aircraft provide an authentic real world atmosphere.This add-on includes a separate configurator tool which enables you to configure settings such as AI traffic and scenery compatibility. This tool can be accessed in the Steam client under the Library/Tools menu.FeaturesPhoto-real layout and textures (30cm resolution within airport boundaries and 60cm resolution outside the boundaries)High-resolution ground polygonHand placed hi-resolution buildings within airport boundariesCustom auto-generated buildings outside the airport boundaryExtensive library of airport clutterAccurate taxiway lanesCustom-made static aircraftCustom night-lighting and improved runway lights3D grassCompatible with Default, Orbx and Horizon 7aa9394dea Title: FSX: Steam Edition - Stornoway Airport (EGPO) Add-OnGenre: SimulationDeveloper:SIM720Publisher:Dovetail Games - FlightRelease Date: 23 Jun, 2015 FSX: Steam Edition - Stornoway Airport (EGPO) Add-On Download 100mb I have this and the Inverness addon which i bought together. However both add-ons rendered FSX un-useable. Im unable to load any flights. Stay clear until a fix is released.. First the positives. The scenery itself is of very high quality, looks good and does not hammer the frame rates. However, on the negative side the scenery is a right royal pain to get working properly! The first thing I noticed on installing the scenery was that it took forever to load, stopping at 6% for nearly 20 minutes. Unfortunately with the scenery active this slow loading time applied when loading any scenery in FSX, leading to ridiculous waiting times just to load a flight. It appears, having done some digging, that the Sim720 Libraries which are installed with the product (look in the installed DLC list) are an earlier version which have caused issues with loading times . A newer version is available on Sim720's website and by installing these and disabling the original libraries I was able to improve loading times, although I have to say still slower than with the scenery disabled. Whilst the workaround is effective I really do feel that DLC should work 'out of the box' and it shouldnt be down to the user to turn detective and track problems down which are essentially down to poor design. Sadly, although Sim720s scenery looks really nice, this experience has put me off buying any more of their products for the time being.
