Burning Blue Design releases EGHR Goodwood Aerodrome for MSFS

It didn’t take that long, after all. Burning Blue Design released this week their newest airport for Microsoft Flight Simulator. Goodwood Aerodrome, in Southern England, was announced just a couple of months ago when it was still in its early stages of development, and is now the latest offering in Burning Blue Design’s growing collection of British airfields for MSFS.

EGHR Goodwood Aerodrome is a historic airfield in the UK, due to its role during the tough days of WWII. Like so many other airfields, it eventually became a popular civilian infrastructure, serving private pilots in the region and hundreds of small airplanes of all kinds.

Nowadays, EGHR retains its grassy runways and the presence of historical airplanes, while also offering prospecting pilots the opportunity to enroll in the thriving flying school that calls Goodwood home.

Burning Blue Design says that there’s a lot to see at Goodwood, which couldn’t be truer! The famous Goodwood Motor racing circuit surrounds the lively airfield and draws huge crowds to this location during racing events.

Burning Blue Design promises a deeply authentic rendition of Goodwood Aerodrome for MSFS, thanks to hundreds of hours of work and plenty of reference materials gathered on site. Not only did the development team recreate the airfield itself, but the racing was also the target of a detailed overhaul, making the whole scenery as real as it gets in the simulator.
