Also known as London Ashford Airport, and previously known as Lydd Ferryfield, Lydd International Airport has had a colourful history. The Airport was built exclusively for Silver City Airways after the Second World War and before the introduction of commercial hovercraft and cross channel ferries, Lydd Airport was the primary means of hopping the English channel to Le Touquet Airport in France, a … read morend the rest of Europe. Today, Lydd boasts a busy flying club, aerial tours and a number of cargo and cross channel charter companies.
Lydd sits on the Dungeness Peninsular in Southern Kent, the largest expanse of shingle beach in Europe and also the only true desert in Great Britain. The strong winds, lack of plant and animal life and harsh surroundings make Lydd a truly unique place to visit, and it sits in stark contrast to the lush greenery of the rest of the Kent countryside.
Features:
• Over 40 custom 3D objects have been created exclusively for Lydd Airport, each with full Physical Based Rendering (PBR) allowing for far more realistic textures
• The Bristow Her Majesty’s Coastguard Hangar at Lydd has been modelled accurately, both inside and out along with a compliment of HM Coastguard Sikorsky S-92 helicopters
• There are thousands of carefully placed stock assets, every bush, road marking, crate and beacon, along with an assortment of ground workers has been placed in it’s correct location ensuring an atmosphere of a working airport
• High resolution colour corrected ground textures taken from Bing maps and manipulated for consistency and realism which far surpasses the quality of the stock Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 ground texture
• Correct AI pattern procedures and accurate taxiway and runway placement have been incorporated into the release
• Surrounding landmarks have been created and placed in their correct locations to improve visual navigation, these include: Denge Marsh Water Tower, Dungeness A Power Station, Dungeness B Power Station, Dungeness Old Lighthouse, Dungeness New Lighthouse, Lydd Golf Club and The Denge Acoustic Mirrors
• Shipping lanes in the English channel have been populated with container ships and tankers
• Full night lighting placed across the aerodrome and within and around the hangars and terminal building
• New waterways for the Dungeness Headland have been created, including the entirety of the Dengemarsh sewage system which has been remapped faithfully
• New desert scrub Biome for the Dungeness Headland to reflect it’s status as the only true desert within Great Britain

I was the GM for Lydd Airport for 17 years and believe me every single detail is as the real airport, well done design. it works Stright with me MSFS 2020
MSFS crashing 🙁
Go into the Lydd Folder, then go into the MaterialLibs folder. Rename materials folder with egmd_materials. Should work after that as mine now works.
This is recommended, yes. But if you do this you also need to rename the entries inside layout.json, otherwise the sim won’t load the materials textures.
That’s why we recommend using the MSFS Addons Linker instead which has a materials renamer like described in our FAQ.
I didn’t need to adjust the json file and i see everything that is on there. Compared it with a friend who also made an adjustment to his json file and I see everything he can see.
Look for yellow ground markings (mostly yellow arrows), these are textures inside the EGMD materials folder which are now missing on your end because you renamed the folder.
If files inside an addon folder (including textures) are not listed with the exact same path inside layout.json, they simply won’t get loaded in the first place. This is just how MSFS works.
