G-LAMS was originally at Liverpool where I learnt to fly.
BTW you have a well deserved donation from me
Bailsoft author
Hi David,
Many thanks for the donation, glad you like it.
The model looks okay from a distance, but is a bit rough around the edges close up. Creating a livery was a steeper learning curve than I anticipated. However, now my knowledge of the process has increased (from zero), I'll endeavour to create a better quality livery add-on for the sim in the future. I have many logbook entries for G-LAMS.
Best regards,
Phil

Really like the airfield, any chance of a few people there ?

Thank you. Good point regarding adding people, I'll see what I can do next update.

Only just noticed, the windsocks at the fuelling area "fly" in opposite directions. Suggest you modify them to point in the correct direction; I'm not sure if either of them point in the correct direction
Bailsoft author
Fixed! :)

Looks very realistic having visited both by air and land.
My only request is for a few open hangars with some interest inside
😁
Bailsoft author
Hi ezwingman,
Thank you, glad you like it so far. I'm working on the hangars at the moment, more detail to come.

Well done Bailsoft, a nice redition of Sleap. Now do I use your version or Dabba's.
I regularly flew out of Sleap until the pandemic but then poor health meant I had to hang up my hedset. I look forward to what additions/improvements you make to EGCV
Bailsoft author
Thanks viper6. I can't possibly comment on whose version to use; all I can say is I use mine.

Looks really good. Sleap is my local airfield (unfortunately, I only get to fly RC there) and this looks and feels spot on.
Bailsoft author
Thanks smorgo. It's starting to take shape, but plenty more to do yet!
