The Channel Islands are now repaired, at least my version didn't twitch, so this is now an airport and scenery upgrade.
I've removed all of my elevations and adjusted the runway heights to fit the new version of the islands.
You get four airports and a separate scenery file.
EGJJ Jersey. Some buildings have been replaced. There's a custom control tower. New ground markings. New ground textures. Plenty of extra detail scattered about such as fencing and car parks and a replaced taxi system.
EGJB Guernsey. Given a thorough working over with custom buildings and improved ground markings and details.
EGJA Alderney. A full set of custom buildings courtesy of Skell300 https://flightsim.to/profile/skell300 plus a new taxi system and all of the gubbins replaced.
ZEGBQ Brecqhou which is not in the sim originally. This is just across from Sark where the evil Barclay brother lurks. Or probably doesn't any more. You get a 150 metre runway that lands next to his castle to annoy him. You also get two helipads and a floatplane parking space because you are a player.
Scenery File A separate scenery file that covers the islands. This adds static boats, removing some trees in the most offensive places, some lighthouses and the odd other detail. Nothing too radical.
The second separate download Contains various tweaks to the scenery file for those have the Seafront Simulations mods or and the Alderney one by Inibuilds to replace the main version. All are included in the same download so delete whatever you don't need.
V 3.3
Combines the previous two scenery files into one, so delete those completely if you have them. You may as well delete and replace the airports too as they're pretty old now.
I've also combined the alternate scenery versions for Seafront Simluations/ Alderney owners into a separate download that you choose your version from, so throw away the scenery file that arrives with the main download and replace it with one of those.
The scenery file adds moving and static boats for which you'll need these libraries - https://flightsim.to/file/27908/moving-boats-3d-model-library https://flightsim.to/file/27907/static-boat-3d-model-library
Guernsey Airport - Full custom going over. Lots of buildings done and better ground markings. Still a bit more to do but I can't take any more.
Jersey Airport - Replaces the worst autogen buildings. Improves the odd ground marking. Still nothing much custom here. Get the UK2000 version.
Alderney Airport - Cleans up some ground textures. Adds nice blue posts to guide you on the grass to the runway.
Brecqhou Airport - Adds a floatplane dock and water runway to really annoy the natives.

As always, brilliant work. A question, are you going to do anymore work on Jersey, like replacing the terminal? Thanks!

Yes.
I've got a rough outline of it ready to add to, but many other things to do as well. Hopefully I'll try and do something in the next month or tow.

Visiting your Channel Island airports and really enjoying the look (though never been in real life!). Currently at EGJJ. Approaching the apron on B, there's a left taxi sign labelled E when it should be D (it's correct coming from the apron side). Are you going to add signs for the hold points on the taxiways at some stage? Just a quick job?!?

Thanks so much for these. I'm doing a RTW tour with a stop in every country in the world, and the self-governing bailiwicks of Jersey and Guernsey were on the list. Definitely made the trip more enjoyable.

I just want to take the opportunity to really thank you for Guernsey. Like most I have both UK2000 Jersey and the Alderney addon so I dont reallt care so much about them, but I was really happy you started to add custom buildings to Gurrnsey, the one airport missing in the Channel Islands mix.

Thank you. Yes, it needed to be done. That hole was annoying me too.

Lovely! The airfields, the moving boats, the marina. Very nice. 5 Stars (I could not put them in since my MSFS is on another laptop)

In addition, I love the little Optimist dingies; my kids used to sail them. Peculiarly, the 'Barcley's castle' is not present on Brecqhou. I do not mind for a pompous billionaires' house, the other scenery is fine.

Thanks for all of your hard work - the latest Guernsey airport is fantastic and love the terminal interiors complete with arrival/departure displays!
I do have a query about the ILS recognition for Guernsey/Jersey......when setting an ILS approach in the G1000nxi / Bonanza G36, the frequencies are not recognised / shown hence the auto-switching to the ILS Localiser doesn't occur (the ILS does still exist and you can manually tune and use it). The frequencies also don't show in the NXI Airport Info search. The stock Guernsey/Jersey do show the frequencies and auto-tune/switch occurs as expected. I did delete the earlier versions before installing the latest.

Weird. I didn't touch any of the nav stuff. I well and truly still don't get it.
I will take a look but I don't think I'll be able to do anything about it unless something super obvious has been neglected.

Everyone needs 2 helipads, i guess one is for the staff so they dont dirty the main one
ffs, an outstanding example of what not to do if you've got billions in the bank.
Thanks for the runway on Brecqhou, I'm off to find the loudest plane I can !

One real one. One closer to Sark where they run helicopter engines 24 hrs a day to annoy the residents. That reminds me. I need to take out the trees at the end of the runway. Or maybe they should stay as an obstacle put there to stop you.

Hey Superspud.
Great work as always. Big fan here.
I own both the Seafront vessels and the Alderney add ons and I have of course used the second download option which works fine.
But it seems the Guernsey harbour (Saint Peter Port) needs some cleaning up.
It got tons of boats on top of each other.
Leaving out your static boat library doesnt fix it sadly.
Cheerio and do keep up the great work!

Every boat is gone from the alternate versions. Maybe you still have the original scenery file installed that comes with the main download, or an older version.

Hey man 😊
Is there anyway to exclude single airports?
So I've Seafront Ships and Jersey from UK2000
So I take the alternate download and the "channel-islands-scenery seafront sims" right?
How can I now exclude Jersey? 😀
Thanks for support and cheers,

As usual, always appreciate an update to this area. Love flying the GA planes in and out of here. You have made it worth while.
Easy install with seafront vessels.
