Ive just uploaded Croydon to the SimOutHouse, its part of a series of WW2 Battle of Britain airfields for FS9. but ive structured it so it can be adapted to pre war or post war flying. WW2 objects can be removed with a single bgl and the Spitfire traffic file also, and you would have to rework the AFD, But i figured id post here as Croydon ended commercial flying in 1959, and it just about makes it into the CalClassic era www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php/133851-RAF-Croydon-FS9

Thanks, Ian, hopefully someone can create a 1950s version of the AFD for us.

Such a nice addition to 1950s flying. Am wondering why I don't have any AI aircraft showing even though I do have the ones mentioned in the Read Me installed. Feel I may have done something incorrectly.
Also, am wondering what the two large black buildings on the tarmac are. They look rather odd. Should they be there?

Not sure how to help with the Ai, everyone else seems to have them. As for the two large black buildings, they were shelters for working on multi engined aircraft when there was no room in the hangars. Although i didn't model them, they appear to be mobile, on small wheels to be moved around the technical area, they are a common site on pre war photos of Croydon, but seem to be not present post war, probably due to war damage Croydon received during the Battle of Britain. I can remove them if anyone's considering a post war version.

Hi Ian For some reason I have the same problem with Gravesend and Hornchurch whereas for all of your other scenery creations everything has worked fine.
Have placed the aircraft as usual in the Aircraft folder. Should they be somewhere else for these three?
Thanks John

First, thanks to Ian for this further addition to the large number of RAF airfields he released on SOH website. I tried to create an ADE like as it was at end ot the Fifties. It's almost impossible to find some pictures how then it looked like. The only one which I saw up to now is in the booklet "Croydon Airport" of the book series "Images of Aviation". It shows the airport in 1959. BTW, The runway display corresponds more or less to what is generated by the scenery included in the "London Vintage Airports" package. For inexplicable reasons the yellow marked runway isn't shown. In respone of John's question and Ian's answer about the black buildings, at least the one in front of the hangars is still there on the picture I mention above. Bernard
