    With thanks to the team at Burning Blue Design for giving me the opportunity to try out this beautiful rendition of a much loved grass strip airfield.
    Popham airfield in Hampshire is home to the Spitfire Flying Club and has a host of interesting places to visit around it.
    In this video we take a look at Popham itself and then have a run down to Stonehenge visiting some other sights along the way.
    Check out Popham at the Burning Blue Design Website here;

    I've flown into Popham a few times, as a glider pilot from Lasham its a favourite if we're getting low and returning from the South West. It's a great representation of the airfield right down to the Yaks of which there were a couple last time I was there.

    I ran into an airport in WU14 yesterday that has occasional 3D weeds growing out of the concrete pavement cracks only in a low usage area. And there is bagged garbage and other trash in some of the big trash storage containers. It also has 3D dirt contaminated oil spills on the ground. I'm using VR.

    Late to the party on this one Rob, but well done and thanks for the tour! Also...thanks for costing me for the purchase of all Burning Blue Design airports... LOL
    Oh well, I was due for a UK tour in MSFS anyway...;)
    Any mention of Stonehenge is inexorably linked to Spinal Tap in my mind also... "I do not for one think that the problem was that 'the band was down'. I think that the problem may have been that there was a Stonehenge monument on the stage that was in danger of being crushed by a dwarf." LMAO!!

    I used to fly a Cessna 152 at Popham, Not sure if its changed but the pattern was a bit off. You took off from 08 and straight after takeoff turned slight left to avoid flying over the filling station. So the pattern was a bit squiffy.

      Thanks very much! I do use a VR Headset, the Valve Index, but not for videos. The head movements in this video come from a head tracking system. Here’s a video I made about it if you are interested in knowing more. ruclips.net/video/CYbydhrS5lM/видео.html

    Great airfield. I fly out of it using Orbx Popham field regularly in FSX:Steam edition.
    FlyingIron simulations have just updated their Spitfire Mk IX to version 1.0.3 and if you have their Spit, can you make a video review of it? I am almost ready to make the move to MSFS. I don't expect it to be on a par with A2As Spitfire but would like your opinion of the FlyingIrons Spitfire.

    • @Dreamsofwings
      @Dreamsofwings  3 года назад

      Yes I had the Orbx one too but have to say `I prefer this version. Works really well in 2020.
      I have the FlyingIron Spit and have used it in a few videos. Here is a link to my original first impressions. They have released some updates since I made the video and it flies much better now though still has the odd engine noise pitch transition at times. Overall for the money it’s great fun and while we don’t have an A2A Spit it’s well worth having in your hangar! Here’s the video ruclips.net/video/mWxSabswIsE/видео.html

    PLEASE....... do not fly into Popham using the approaches/departures highlighted in this video. Refer to a proper flightguide for correct details.

    • @Dreamsofwings
      @Dreamsofwings  3 года назад +1

      Yes as someone else has pointed out there are correct procedures which you can follow in the sim as the right features exist in it.
      This video is NOT an attempt to describe the correct procedures and pattern at Popham, just a review of the scenery.

      @@Dreamsofwings It's always nice of others to point out stuff like that.... Following correct procedures is not generally conducive to a great sightseeing experience...and clearly this was not intended as a tutorial on VFR procedures at Popham... ;)
