What have they done to Gatwick

Featured Replies

Just landed on 26L at Gatwick after patch 3 and there is a high rise town popped up just to the south of 26L/08R it looks awful.

Glen,

Crawley overspill? 🙂

Yes I agree, it's not helped with having 2 identical control towers either.

Whatever you do, don't fly out to beachy head or the seven sisters. They are both gentle slopes into the sea.

Cheers

EGKK looked so awful from the beginning I haven't been back since the first time I landed. I'm waiting for UKScenery or others to produce the goods.

Those arriving at Dover in dinghies have to be housed somewhere!

As with Heathrow, i think both have been poorly represented, traffic volumes are pretty non existent as if you took Heathrow for example at busy periods there's a landing, take off by the minute.

Swish swish swish swish...

Gatwick was very obviously left as a 100% autogen airport. Whenever I've tried multiplayer nobody's been flying in and out or on the ground at all. Seems like everyone knows how bad it is!
