City of Derry Airport (IATA: LDY, ICAO: EGAE), previously known as RAF Eglinton and Londonderry Eglinton Airport, is a regional airport located 7 mi (11 km) northeast of Derry/Londonderry, Northern Ireland (UK). Airport usually serviced by airlines such as Ryanair and Loganair.
Scenery created by me, Jerome Logue. This is an upgraded release of my previous version of Eglinton for FSX, making use of MS Flight Simulator 2020's excellent rendering capabilities. All custom models and textures created by me, Jerome Logue.
This scenery is being released as freeware.

Jerome - is there any way to disable the smoke from the stacks at Campsie? For me the smoke is just static and I'd rather disable it.
jeromelogue author
you could try deleting the model.aa3 folder from the jeromelogue-egae2021\SimObjects\Landmarks\Smoke-emitter-a folder...I think that is the smoke that you mean. Not sure if that'll cause problems with the sim though - might be worth a try in the meantime, anyway...I'll have to have a look at the smoke again. It should only trigger during certain hours and the vapour effects are controlled by environment temperature. It's sill work in progress, so not all the effects are perfect yet...model.aa5 is the Architectural salvage stack smoke. All smoke/vapour effects are affected by the wind strength/direction though....so if there is no wind, the smoke may look static possibly...I'll have check it out..anyway...still work in progress...

This Airport is not compatible with SU11 and causing the new Gliders not to work, due to airportservices. Credits to bug investigation to ClydeFJ at https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/gliders-start-rudder-signalling-doesnt-work/555433/36

Probably best uninstall it, until I've recompiled and tested the next version for SU11 compatibilty.

this is great!l love that purple light!!pretty!
jeromelogue author
Thanks for the feedback! The purple light is an error I've been meaning to correct...It seeems to be the merger of the red and blue light, which is a cool way of showing what the sim is capable of, I supppose, in terms of light/shadow rendering :-) When I started this project, many years ago, I thought that that area was some sort of fuel dispenser (just from going past every day on the bus), although now I realise that it's the fire training area :-) ...still working on this project...updates have been a bit slow lately...
