We are using a UKBA created by 'Col. Bates' (deceased) and I believe Ian of Ian's Dark Corner also
contributed to it. We actually have two primary versions. A 'full' version with operating hangar doors
and a 'lite' version with doors fixed open and a few other frame-rate-saving features.

We also have 3 versions of the runways. The 'vintage' version with no markings. A 'precision' version with markings
that we used for pilot certification....landing repeatedly on a small touchdown area, and a 'modern' set of runways with
the typical current day runway markings.
