This is an upgrade of Sumburgh EGPB in sunny Shetland, Shetland's main entry point by air.
I was going to spend last summer pounding every single ferry and air route up here until they were all in the bag. I would no doubt have gotten some quality reading done while waiting for my pointless return journey as places like Papa Stour are somewhat short of options to bop the night away. Or even have a slash.
More likely I would've spent the entire time in Lerwick WH Smiths reading the same magazine until it was time go home having been fogged out throughout.
All of the aprons have been replaced. Proper lighting has been added. Rocks have been buried in the runway approaches. Most of the buildings have either been replaced or erased. The ground markings have been told to go away and new ones dragged in. Car parks done. Roads juiced up. Fences all over the joint. More windsocks. General detail has been smeared all over like a dirty protest.
The main Debbie Downer about this is the topography, or lack of it. The real one has some interesting elevations in the surrounds. This doesn't, nor does the stock version for that matter. For some reason the terrain went mad in development mode so it had to be brutally flattened.
No custom buildings or owt, though amazingly the real ones look worse than the autogens. I couldn't actually find anything ugly enough to match reality in many cases.
There was also no way of replicating the control tower area in a convincing manner so a concoction has been created that won't offend you if you've never been to the airport.
The taxi system system needs replacing as it has the Shetland curse of fuel bays everywhere. I'm going to wait until after the update to do this as they should be curing microscopic taxi signs with it.
This goes in conjunction with the reigged Shetland mod that now fiddles with every single other airport in the islands other than Out Skerries - https://flightsim.to/file/1067/shetland-islands-complete-overhaul
If you have the older version of the above and haven't updated you may see some doubling up of items at Sumburgh as I stripped out what was in there and inserted it into this.

Adds a new taxi system as the old one was stupid. Also added are some static aircraft and a few other extra details here and there.

Great airport.
Works perfectly, looks great
and is a great upgrade for the MSFS.
I particularly like the many small details.
It is compatible with SU11,
thanks for that

On 6 July 2022 not working. If I remove the scenery it's ok. Anyway let me say that Supersud have great sceneries. Check them all.

Hi ... love your scenery, however tried flying to Sumburgh today and I have found that your Sumburgh Airport scenery if entered in a flight plan (done on the world plan within the sim) won't load - loads OK if your scenery is removed from the Community folder. I have Sim update 8.

Hmm. I can't replicate that. I will experiment further.
I was halfway through readding elevations to the airport but couldn't take any more so it's a bit of a mess at the moment.
