Cranfield Airport has unique Air Traffic Control, In 2018 Cranfield was the first airport to become completely digital for ATC, I have modelled the ATC Camera tower (See screenshots), which ATC use to view and control the airport, the following video shows it in action in real life! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBQzI71QozI
Please note: for the best experience, ensure all the latest world updates are downloaded, this isn't necessary but includes a lot of new objects.
If there is an airfield local to you and you would like it to be upgraded or if there is missing/buggy scenery, please DM me as I'm always looking for more projects!

FYI I am having real problems getting the textures onto the University buildings, so have made little/no progress getting them to you. If you know any Blender experts they may be able to work out what I am doing wrong. But I keep failing , giving up for a few weeks, repeat!
Also, could you possibly remove the BAe 146s you have included? They really aren't great, and detract from your other scenery. I have included the 146 professional models on my own version - if you have the Justflight addon they look soooo much better.

Thank you for all the work producing this. One thing.. modelLib.bgl, scene.bgl and shapes.bgl should all be renamed to egtc-modelLib.bgl, egtc-scene.bgl, egtc-shapes.bgl in order to prevent CTD's. The modelLib in particular could clash with another scenery because of the generic name. I have done my copy and updated the layout.json file.

Great scenery! Would it be possible to add an exclusion zone underneath the solar farm? It currently creates 2 overlapping solar farms when you use Mamu82's Powerlines and Solar Farms. Either way, fantastic work!

Thanks for the upgrade Jay. I really like your previous version and will download this later. If you are looking for a project, Gloucestershire EGBJ has never been done and really needs some work on it. A lot of pilots have learned to fly at several of the schools based there.

Thanks for your comment! I will look into it, I believe there is a EGBJ scenery on here, I will need to see if its still being worked on.

Hi Jay
I'm really interested in old (sometimes disappearing) WW2 airfields such as Helmswell from which Lancasters operated. The runways are discernible on Google maps, and buildings preserved, so may be a good one to start!

Thanks for this upgrade Jay, I have your earlier version and will download shortly. Your new upgrades look very good. If you are looking for projects, Gloucester EGBJ could do with some work and it's a nice flight from Cranfield. TBH, I'm surprised that nobody has looked at it yet as it's quite a busy place for PPLs and has a few flying schools.

Landed here yesterday in appalling weather conditions - runway lights nice and bright - thanks!
Great airport very faithfully reproduced and nicely done. I like the static 737 - the promise of things to come soon from PMDG!
