I purchased this on September 2nd, and upon loading the scenery it looks like a small GA airfield, not a major airbase. There are no signs of any F-111's, for instance.
Order #85693, file name downloaded "SDB Upper Heyford-new.exe".

Re: EGUA RAF Upper Heyford
I tried to taxi around on the airfield, and the aircraft I saw were a low-wing Piper and a high-wing Cessna at some GA hangars.
No sign of any military aircraft.

Re: EGUA RAF Upper Heyford
Will try to replicate but need to first know what sim and version are you using? FSX, FSX-SE, P3D v? and where did you purchase it from?

Re: EGUA RAF Upper Heyford
I am using P3D v. 5, and purchased EGUA from SimShack.
Don't get me wrong, as a GA airfield the scenery is very good, it's just that I expected some F-111's...

Re: EGUA RAF Upper Heyford
I don't know that it was ever updated for P3Dv5.
I'll give it a try but first I'll look on the SimShack page and see if they mention P3Dv5 compatibility.

Re: EGUA RAF Upper Heyford
Sales page says, "Compatibility Microsoft Flight Simulator X inc. Steam Edition & Prepar3D v3/v4"
I'll install it in v5 and see what happens. A lot of things change from version to version of P3D. Including how AI aircraft work (or don't).

Re: EGUA RAF Upper Heyford
OK.
1) Installed into P3D v5. It was going to go into v4 but I changed it to v5 on the installer page that shows where it is going.
2) Next step was to activate it the normal way as Options -> General -> Scenery Library and then Add Area. If it installed correctly it will be listed.
3) Back into Options -> Traffic and make sure the the sliders have some values. Mine were all already at 30%.
4) Have a look in the game. I could only see a couple parked F-111s.
5) Go to Options -> World. Move the slider for Scenery Complexity up. That will increase the amount of buildings, static aircraft, and AI aircraft.
6) back in the game I have a lot more to look at and an F-111E flying into the area.
Hope this helps.

Re: EGUA RAF Upper Heyford
Scenery complexity and AI Traffic were already set at 100%.
So I checked all my UK sceneries to see if there was maybe some exclude file for EGUA in one of those, none found.
Then I used Lorby SI's Add-on Organizer to move the EGUA scenery to the top of the scenery configuration file, and now we're cooking!
Thanks -
