Great aerodrome, but for some reason I seem to be getting poor frame rates, anyone else experiencing this?

Mine were OK until SU6 but now down at 3 - 5fps. Eeeek! Dropping the Terrain LOD back to 200 seems to let fps rebound to 30 but other airfields don't seem to have this problem.

Well done, a great rendition of the airfield.
Just one request, the main hangar is normally only open from the other end, and has hoards of gliders inside 😊
Thanks
Thank you for pandoring to my request. 5 stars added.

Another good scenery. The bumpy taxi way caught me by surprise though, not easy to keep a tailwheel straight. Perhaps the only very slightly negative is the odd looking glass, missing some transparency I think. Overall, pretty good. Here's a quick video... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cp4oe-06v2Y
