Review of EGSG Stapleford Abbotts Created by ... - Rays Aviation

After reading the user guide I now opened up FSX and took ORBXs “Bob” for a walk through thescenery - using “Bob” is the best way of really viewing and enjoying all details in a scenery. I haveseen and reviewed quite many ORBXs airport sceneries and I very quickly saw that the quality ofthis scenery is as I expected it to be of an ORBX product.The scenery is very realistic and features a huge amount of details, here especially the very specificbuildings and their location throughout the scenery. I compared several of the buildings againstpictures of the real world buildings that I could find on the internet and ORBX has done it onceagain and created a superb airfield that are more or less picture perfect.The placing of the buildings is very well in accordance with the areal images that I found of the realworld buildings and I really love the unique detailing that is created on these buildings as e.g.reflections in the windows and the corrosion of the metal on the hangars or even the miss colors ofthe painted wood etc. These are all details that really add a lot of realism to the scenery.

Looking around the scenery I also saw a great many smaller details as very well made fences, signsand various material that are scattered around the airfield. That could e.g. be dump containers, abench or crocks with flowers or small trees in them or even pallets or drums etc. These are all verynice details and they are placed carefully and very realistically and gives the scenery a realisticatmosphere.The scenery also contains various static vehicles and aircrafts that are placed all around the airfieldand together with this, ORBX has also created fully working AI traffic. Combining this with thefamous PeopleFlow that features animated people walking around the scenery doing variousthings, really contributes to create a very realistic living environment and atmosphere.I noticed that the PeopleFlow was not the only ORBX Flow that was used in this scenery. Thereare used several Flows but one specific was the CreatureFlow which is moving animals – in thisscenery this was e.g. farm animals as cows that I found at several locations, and these animals arenot just static animals but actual animated animals – again this is some excellent details that reallybrings life to the scenery.

The surroundings of the airfield is also created within the scenery coverage area shown previouslyin the review. This is not just standard FSX buildings and nature but actual buildings and naturecreated for this scenery, and it looks superb.Close to the airfield I found a huge complex of old buildings which probably is some kind of farmand everything around it was created very realistically. I also found a small triangular lake andvarious special made buildings that do contribute to increase the virtual experience of flying to andfrom this airport. A great and very realistic English nature!

My conclusion for this add-on scenery from ORBX is that the scenery is a good quality add-onscenery that really provides a great virtual experience for the flight simmer. The scenery is not hardon frames and is filled with various details that are created perfectly.The textures used are fair and the finish and quality of the buildings are perfect. The sceneryfeatures lots of static aircrafts, vehicles and various airport material as drums, pallets, fences, signsetc. Included is of course PeopleFlow but also CreateFlow and AI traffic which all contributes tocreate a realistic and living airfield environment.My experience of this airfield was very good and I rate the EGSG with 4/5-stars. I thank ORBX forcontributing to the flightsim community with again another great add-on scenery.Rays Aviation
