And to stay in the main topic, I published version 3.0.1 with bug fixes, updated entrance textures and new rooftop access on the terminal.

Yeah it's really close to Orly (Jetstream payware) and de Gaulle (Asobo), I didn't have it installed.

Close, but not aim for the same purpose at all. It's all depend on what type of aviation you're flying.

Nice work!

Is this the same LFAT that's been on Flightsim.to for several months now? Or is this a new product?

It's the same product... oups freeware updated and improved quite regularly. I released the first version end of January 2021 😉 For the record, it took me ages to learn Blender, as a totally begging. I delivered basic objects (tower, main terminal) months after the first released of the scenery as a normal upgrade. Now, in 2023, I would have done totally differently (in term of Blender's design) and I'm scared to open the Blender project to discover horrible things ;))))

Version 3.2.2 available with the Season approach lights runway 13: https://flightsim.to/file/6642/le-touquet-cote-d-opale-lfat

And also a fix for a terminal texture missing.

New version of Le Touquet (LFAT) is now available. The real airport has been officially renamed “Le Touquet - Elizabeth II International Airport”. New signs and letters (on roof of the terminal) has been set. As much as in real life!

Hey that's great thanks! I live near Biggin Hill and have an addon there and always wanted a strip just over the channel for quick GA round trips. This is perfect.

Thanks a lot to follow up the evolution of the real one!

Do you know the reason to rename it this way?

According to Vanity Fair (via Wikipedia):

Quote

In August 2023, the airport was named after Queen Elizabeth II, which her son, Charles III, approved. By this gesture, the mayor's office wanted to "pay tribute to the Great Queen and her uncle [Edward VIII] who was in love with France and to recognize the most British of the French resorts".
