Game summary

Return to grassroots flying in the UK with Farm Strips Volume 1 - a collection of 25 airstrips recreating the small airfields often used by microlights and ultralights across south east England. Located in rural locations, and often in or surrounded by farm fields, the airstrips include ground textures and scenic models galore. The facilities available at the strips vary - some offer refueling, while others offer little more than a view over the crops or cattle. It includes airstrips in Kent, Norfolk, Essex, Suffolk, Hertfordshire, Lincolnshire, East Sussex and Cambridgeshire - this is the perfect introduction to small time flying in the UK!
