Burning Blue Design releases EGHF Solent Airfield for MSFS

Another month, another release from Burning Blue Design! The prolific studio continues to put out nice-looking UK airfields for Microsoft Flight Simulator, an impressive feat considering that they’ve been doing it this year on a nearly monthly basis. This time, Burning Blue Design (BBD) offers MSFS simmers the chance to visit a highly-detailed rendition of Solent Airfield (EGHF), on the south coast of England.

Solent Airfield began its history over 100 years ago as a naval seaplane training school. Eventually, it became a site for hovercraft trials, developing a rich history with these machines that led to the creation of a museum that currently hosts the largest hovercraft collection in the world!

Nowadays, Solent Airport is a busy civilian airfield that’s home to a flight school, the HM Coastguard Search and Rescue, and Spitfires.com.

Burning Blue Design has been making some stunning airfields for MSFS and the newly released Solent Airport is no exception. This is another beautiful work from the team, built based on many on-site visits and with the collaboration of pilots based at the airfield. Check the impressive list of features below:
