Firstly, a big thank you to all those who have supported and contributed to my previous airport mods. Its great to know you are enjoying my hard work.
London Southend Airport, UK
I started this project to make a completely accurate payware quality version of this airport. Unfortunately I realise I don't have the 100's of hours needed to complete it, and also Pilot Plus have released their payware version of this airport.
The good news is that apart from some missing custom models of the hangars, I have completed all functioning parts of the airport, and most of the cosmetic parts.
I hope you enjoy it!
Info:
London Southend Airport (ICAO: EGMC) is an international airport situated on the outskirts of Southend-on-Sea in Essex, England, approximately 36 miles from the centre of London. The airport straddles the boundaries between the borough of Southend-on-Sea and the Rochford District.
Southend was London's third-busiest airport from the 1960s until the end of the 1970s, when it was overtaken in passenger numbers by London Stansted Airport. Following its purchase by Stobart Group in 2008, a development programme provided a new terminal and control tower and extended runway.

There is for sure a issue with the ramp area, I did a video yesterday flying into Southend. Everything went perfect till I was going to park then quite a big dip, I don't use any mods in the area or Orbx addons in the UK.

I did have the Taxi Sign mod from Just Flight, however after uninstalling it made no difference to the uneven ramp problem. I retried the default airport and that was completely flat.

Awww tried out today still issues with gates 3 to 7 & 9. Hopefully you will get this rectified at some point. I see that other users are experiencing the same problem. Thanks anyway you've given your own time to make a great addon.

That's weird, its all flat for me.
Could you just test it with no other mods installed to see if you might have something clashing? There is a taxi sign mod I forget the name of, which likes to mess with airport terrain.

Just downloaded 1.6 and there appears to be a big dip in the apron between stands 2 to 7. One parked aircraft is sitting at about 45 degrees nose down.

Besides from the sloping issue on the apron a great contribution, thanks!

Yeah, there's a big slope, more like a hill, in the middle of the main parking ramp.
