This add-on for MSFS2000 covers an area in Worcestershire, Warwickshire, Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire in the United Kingdom.
Version 1.3 provides all of the facilities of version 1.2 and in addition provides scenery of the North Cotswold Hills between Honeybourne and Cheltenham, and also the roads throughout the simulation have been given a darker texture.
Here are some views of the airfields and scenery, made using the Print Screen facility on a Personal Computer.
Honeybourne as at 1939-45 War. Note the aircraft dispersal sites placed in farmland across the road. The airfield does not survive today and is again farmland.
Long Marston as at 1939-45 War. Note the Bomb Dump loop on the left. Part of this aerodrome is now known as AVON PARK. There is also a Microlite club and a Microlite training school.
Bidford Gliding Centre as at today. The landing strip is grass.
Approach to Honeybourne from the North Cotswolds.

In order to use this add-on, you need to add a number of files to your computer system. These files have been zipped into a total of eight zip files. Eight zip files are used, rather than one zip file, so that each zip file is of a reasonable size for downloading, in terms of minimizing problems in the event of communication link difficulties. These zip files are available in this webspace.
Please instruct the unzipping program to place the results of unzipping in the folder Program Files\Microsoft Games\Fs2000\Scenery on your computer. The zip files have been so configured that by doing this, the Honeybourne Scenery and Texture folders will all be created in the correct places and all of the files that are within the zip files will be placed into the correct folders. The directories automatically created will be as follows.
Program Files\Microsoft Games\Fs2000\Scenery\Honeybourne
Program Files\Microsoft Games\Fs2000\Scenery\Honeybourne\Scenery
Program Files\Microsoft Games\Fs2000\Scenery\Honeybourne\Texture
The first file unzipped in this manner, whichever it may be, will create the three directories: the rest will use the already thus created directories.
Links to these zip files are here.

In Flight Simulator 2000 these files are listed in Europe UK and not Europe United Kingdom.
