The City of Derry Airport (IATA: LDY, ICAO: EGAE) is a regional airport located in Eglinton, about 7 miles (11 km) northeast of Derry, Northern Ireland. It has played a significant role in the local economy and transportation network since its establishment.
The airport dates back to World War II and was originally built as RAF Eglinton in 1941. It served as a base for Royal Air Force (RAF) fighter squadrons and later for the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm.
In 1947, after the war, the airfield was closed as a military base. In the 1950s, Eglinton airfield was used by local flying clubs and for private aviation and by the late 1970s, the local council saw potential in developing the site into a commercial airport. In 1978, the facility officially reopened as City of Derry Airport, operated by the local authorities. From the 1980' The airport saw increasing use for domestic flights, particularly to London and Glasgow and in 1999 A new terminal building was opened to accommodate growing passenger numbers.F urther expansion, including an extended runway, upgraded facilities, and improved safety features. The airport has faced challenges, including competition from Belfast airports and fluctuating passenger numbers. In recent years, City of Derry Airport has focused on maintaining key routes to London, Liverpool, and Glasgow, with airlines like Loganair and Ryanair operating flights. The airport continues to receive government support to ensure connectivity for the North West region. Current Status and Future Prospects, City of Derry Airport remains an important transport hub for the Derry/Londonderry region and the wider northwest of Ireland.

MSFS Product Updates & News / Direct Ordering is back!
Last post by Gary Summons - Feb 08, 2025, 10:35 AMAfter a year of using just resellers, I've realising it's not working out for me. I've decided to go back to limited Direct ordering, but with a different system.
For now It's only FS2020/2024 products, if you want to order for the older/other sims, then It's still the simmarket.
Main difference is products links are purely done VIA email only. There is no online customer account. However you can still get a reissue of your links via email.
Updates work fine as will, your email links will download the latest version. So the most important thing here is STORE your email!
To order, click here
To be notified of product updates, then the best way is to subscribe

MSFS Product Updates & News / The University of Illinois Wil...
Last post by Gary Summons - Jan 30, 2025, 11:32 AMThe University of Illinois Willard Airport(KCMI) 2025 30th January 2025 **Released**
Youtube Video here:
The University of Illinois Willard Airport (ICAO: KCMI) s located south of Savoy in Tolono Township. The airport was dedicated on October 26, 1945, and named after Arthur Cutts Willard, who served as the university's president from 1934 to 1946. Scheduled airline service commenced in 1954. The original terminal, constructed in 1960, was replaced by the current facility in 1987.
In 1946, the university established the Institute of Aviation at Willard Airport, offering flight training and conducting research into aviation-related human factors. In 2014, Parkland College assumed responsibility for the flight training program. By 1969, Willard Airport had become the second-busiest airport in Illinois. However, following the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978, many airlines reduced services to smaller airports, leading to a decline in passenger numbers at Willard. Despite these challenges, the airport continues to operate, currently offering non-stop flights to Chicago O'Hare and Dallas-Fort Worth through American Airlines.
For general aviation passengers, Flightstar provides amenities including crew cars, lounges, conference rooms, and an exercise room with shower facilities.
University of Illinois Willard Airport is also famous as one of the few airports that were included in the early versions of Microsoft Flight Simulator, when all we had were a few of lines drawn on a blue and green background!

Legacy products for older Sims / Account system closed
Last post by Gary Summons - Jan 28, 2025, 09:05 PMThe old login account system has now closed.
Instead when you click the login link, it will be asked for your email, a list of your product links will then be sent to that email. Once you have this list, keep it safe or better still once you have downloaded the product files, keep them safe.
If your account email is different from your current active email, then you need to enter both.

MSFS Product Support / Re: MS Marketplace issues
Last post by Nic Green - Jan 14, 2025, 11:29 AMGary I'm on Xbox MSFS 2024 and while the Guernsey scenery has come across from MSFS2020, the core library has not (so no cars, aircraft, etc). This may not be anything you have any control over, or I may need to wait until the MSFS 2024 Marketplace is activated. In MSFS 2024, it seems to add its own random fuel bowsers and other items in addition to yours.
