Dairy House Farm airfield, Worleston has existed since at least the mid 1970s although reports indicate only one aircraft was based there (the Cessna 172D G-ASPT) during that time.
Following the closure of EGRH Arclid Airfield, Sandbach (which is now to be quarried for silica sand) in 2019, Cheshire Microlight Centre relocated to Dairy House Farm and even though there is evidence of it being in existance for an extended length of time the airfield is missing from MSFS.
Having never actually visited the airfield and finding very little reference material online to go off (plus this being my very first attempt at creating anything in MSFS so only using stock scenery), then this addition is more likely to be an approximate representation of the actual airfield rather than an exact match. If anyone who knows the airfield has any suggestions, or can provide photographs to make things more accurate or if any creators have any suggestions on how to improve things overall then I’m more than happy to receive feedback.
Current items outstanding/known issues are:
- 1. Runways don’t actually have numbers painted. I added these for clarity while creating the airfield and never removed them.
- 2. I believe the runway actually has more of a gradient to it then in MSFS (1 in 5 ?)
- 3. The railway viaduct is missing (I’m guessing I need to learn blender to add that)
- 4. Farm building are using stock MSFS images so are only approximate matches to actual
- 5. I haven’t worked out how to make MSFS recognise the region for the airfield so that packages such as the Airport Regional Environment X Europe by LatinVFR will interact correctly.
- 6. EGNA is a fictional ICAO as MSFS forces the use of one
