[Lite version download here]
The lite version does not include Fair Isle airport and has less grass and trees, it's perfect for lower spec pc or if you are getting crashes.
Updates

"Have you ever been to Fair Isle?"
"No, ser, but they say it's fair."

Backstory
This mod features two airfields, a small port, many detailed villages, miles and miles of roads, and much more!
Locations
Fair Isle Airport
The now-abandoned Airport of Fair Isle
Larnwick Airstrip
A small airstrip near Larnwick
Larnwick
The only still-inhabited village on the island
Notes:
The map was created to test the limits of Simpleplanes graphics, while I am pretty impressed with the results, this is still very very very graphically demanding. If you are experiencing crashes while loading or changing locations, please turn down your graphics settings and make sure you have at least 8gb of ram available
This map is not compatible with Freecam mod, if you have trouble loading, please consider turning off other mods
Know bugs
Simpleplanes will crash if you have settings on highest/real-time while loading to a location around Larnwick without enough system resource, to solve this issue, please lower your quality or upgrade your system with more ram. If you do not want to turn down your quality, you may turn everything to low first, load to the location, and turn everything back up (fixed in version 1.2)
Q&A
Is this going to be available for android?
Unfortunately, it’s not going to be , since the roads and lots of other stuff use custom scrips that android is simply unable to run
Is this going to be ported to android?
Most likely not, sorry

Amazing work, it truly is. Graphics are spot on and everything looks great. There are a few issues though, mainly in terms of scale. The island itself is very small, especially the runways. The Larnwick strip should be at least twice as long, I don't any plane with realistic performance can land there. The Cub parked there is a nice touch, but it is too large. The Fair Isle runway is a little better, but it is still very short and narrow. Realistically, it would be 2x, maybe even 3x its current size. The other roads are pretty good, but still a tad bit narrow. Once again the map is amazing and I'm sure you spent a lot of time on it, so please don't take this as criticism. I look forward to seeing more maps like this! Keep up the great work
i absolutely love the design and work you put on the map. the scenery is breathtaking the quality is higher than anything ive ever seen and its a complete joy to fly and drive on. i really hope you keep working on this map cause this map really deserves all the praise and care people are giving it and more.
but despite all the pros of the map, there are a few nitpicky issues i have with the map.
1st are the road size or the lack of it. i build quite small vehicles but even then it feels like im driving a superheavy tank on the roads.
2nd is the airfield again size is an issue but its still brilliant
3rd is the island size as much as i understand you may have been working on a map thats heavy on your computer the size of the map is a little bit small and could have its size enhanced a bit more. even so its still a brilliant map which i would love to see worked on.
4th and final issue is the terrain. or lack of. tho you probly didnt intend on multiple terrains the lack of dirt roads, offroad sections and small roads through the villages are a bit sad but i believe you are more than capable of impressing everyone with an update of the map.
despite its rather picky flaws the map is truly wonderful and i heavily recommend working more on it. i see the potential of a complete custom world with more islands, a city and more diverse roads which could truly make this worthy of being an official map. a 8,2/10 is well deserved and overtime can only go higher.
i wish you the best of luck and thank you for making such a beautiful map for the community to enjoy
@Kennneth ok makes sence
@formulaguyy new unity engine from v1.1 update now uses linear colour space rather than gamma, this mod is outdated
why do the textures look really bad compared to the photos
@Kennneth also, very nice map :)
@Kennneth Yes I do. and in fact the crashing issue was fixed after i removed that mod
do you have the ocean mod installed? That crashes all unsupported maps @FalconAero
@FalconAero however I believe that was due to either the ocean mod or the advanced rendering mod. it works now after disabling those
Hello, I just download this mod onto my laptop which has a 6 core 5ghz max cpu, 32g ram and a 1050-ish card, however nomatter what setting I use the game crash about 3 seconds after entering the map even tho during that 3 second i get a pertty high fps. weird.
please upload this to the steam workshop, thanks!
Its like I have no word to say
It really looks great
Can u link me the plane u used plz
If its over 2000parts don't send the link plz
My phone doesn't handle 2000parts
You can make it for iOS @Simpleuser04?
@nomalnormaltheman This may be bad for phones, and it's already killing my PC.
@ZWAC my phone has 8gb of ram
Advices to mobile users: This requires at least 8GB of RAM, a mobile device only have about 4GB of RAM, and my MacBook Air only have 8GB of RAM. So your phone can not hold it.
Am I playing MFS2020 or a add-on scenery for X Plane 11?
@KennethKennethTheKenneth Problems solved! Amazing graphics, but I think the map should be scaled up 3x to be realistic. I mean, the "skidmark" racecar is wider than the road...
Yeah try that first @owenliu
@KennethKennethTheKenneth maybe I should try updating my game to 1.10?
@KennethKennethTheKenneth I dragged the mod file into simpleplanes.exe, then I found "An error occurred attempting to read mod file 'c:\users\owen-liuyandong\appdata\locallow\jundroo\simpleplanes\mods\fair isle-full.spmod'." in "modLoadLog.txt".
@owenliu have you installed it properly?
Why is this mod not showing up in my mod list?
