This is an upgrade of EGTU Dunkeswell in sunny Devon.
I spent many a youthful afternoon here watching a pal race his wee kart. He hit the track pissed out of his head much of the time so didn't do all that well. He seemed to enjoy it all the same and it's the taking part - even when inebriated to a deadly extent - that counts.
I presume many real world fliers on here will be very familiar with this spot. If I ever take up proper flying I guess it'll be from here, but I may leave the flying to the pros.
I did spend a couple of afternoons lurking with my camera and easel but if you spot anything particularly inaccurate let me know.
There are a few annoyances. There may be terrain glitches which I missed, for some reason many sites fall apart in development mode and become incredibly lumpy. I also really need to figure out how to stop vehicles lurking in parking spaces once and for all.
You surely know the score by now - Many a ground texture removed, replaced or added, lots of buildings erased, replaced or remade. Detail added to approaches and surrounds. New taxi system with plenty of hangars to start in. Space 100 will be for your helicopterising.
There's a fuel bay and fuel truck.
I need to pop back to refine a few details that I missed, but overall it's a more wholesome place to fly around from than it was before.

Dunno if you've been up there recently, but to my amazement the place has runway lighting now oO
superspud author
Sounds rather fancy. I'll be lunching there next week so will have a look. I've done the extended runway and will see if there are any other extra details to pick up.

Has that dip at the east end of the top taxiway and round to the threshold of 22 got worse recently? are asobo up to schenanigans again?
Still using this all the time, mucho thanks!

I haven't been there for a while so I'd better look.
This place fell apart big time making it so I had to completely redo the elevations. Maybe they've made some unwelcome changes.

Fantastic SuperSpud, Flown in here many years ago in my old Reims Cessna 150. so good to recreate the trip from my Qualifying cross country. (Southampton, Weston-Super-Mare, Dunkeswell, Southampton)

this has made my day, I actually fly here IRL so really cool to have 😀

Let me know if there's anything amiss that you spot. So far it's a T hangar on the north side and all the industrial units could use some fencing.

Fantastic, another quality job by Mr Spud.

Finally got to fly here tonight. Great job! I noticed your grass is shorter than the grass at recent payware airfields like Bodmin and Popham from Burning Blue Design. Is that a sign that the grass length bug has been fixed?
superspud author
I guess so. If it's shorter here it should be shorter there too. Apparently it was an Nvidia only problem and the darker the grass you choose the shorter it'll be. Go figure.

Thanks for this. Having just flown into the vanilla version, I decided to see if there was an add-on. Lo and behold, Superspud comes up trumps again! Love the random boat but I guess that's one of those unintended object placements.
If you fancy reopening a nearby airfield as a project, Smeatharpe/RAF Upottery is 1 mile NE.

The boat is the result of multiple hours of research. Plus it covers up a burn in of a real one.
If you want an active Smeatharpe let me know and I'll add it to this page. I don't think I can summon the will to put much, or any, effort into it though, so it'll be rather basic.

Thanks so much for this one!!! This airfield was my first ever solo land away from Compton Abbas in the real world, so its fantastic to have it in the sim!
