EHM-1871 Patrick:
Thanks Phil, will give it a go.

Cheers ;)

EHM-2110 Matt:
No Derby is still in the scenery, but the airfield was taken over by Toyota to build Cars

EHM-1703 Philip:
Matt,

I think you are a little confused. I live only 30 mins from Egginton Aerodrome which is more commonly known as "Derby Airfield" (ICAO: EGBD) and have taken lessons there myself recently....

Toyota Derby was indeed built on the site of the original Derby Airfield or "Burnaston" as it was known but when Burnaston closed (*EDIT) the Derby Aero Club built their own airfield only a couple of miles away at Egginton (and thus outside of the controlled airspace of the East Midlands TMA) and this took the name "Derby Airfield" with it. Burnaston was always planned to be closed as most operations had already been moved only a short distance (about 7 miles I think) to Castle Donnington which is more commonly known as "Nottingham East Midlands" today.

So in short, the EGBD airfield that is included with FS9 is the new Egginton airfield not the original Burnaston airfield on which the Toyota UK plant is located.

EHM-1358 Tim:
The UK tour has been modified, but it will require some checking and probably some modification to the database.

I say it shall be ready by next week end max.

EHM-1871 Patrick:
I have finshed the tour (using the advice from phil), would that mean flying the last 2 legs again, or can I count the tour as completed ?
