It is Heathrow and that distinctive smell of everything British. The airport has a personal history for myself as well, as my father worked there as a chef in the central main airline and staff staff kitchens in the early 70's, and a few summers of my youth were not chasing skirt (oh come on!, those Air French stewies were WAY out of my league and I was to young anyway), but aircraft rego's from behind powerful binoculars perched up on the freezing cold Queen's Building terraces. It is also the third busiest airport in the world by total passenger traffic, and in 2014, it handled a record 73.4 million passengers.
EGLL is in west London the single busiest airport in the United Kingdom and the busiest airport in Europe by passenger traffic. If your British then Heathrow is the cornerstone of your route flying, in the same way that KORD (Chicago) is to the Americans. For the major London area it was really almost laughable, and the thought of not even a slightly decent London-Heathrow for the simulator was simply demoralising. There was a few, but most were converted 2004 FS sceneries done by devoted souls like Ted Davis. When I was first indoctrinated into the X-Plane simulator (around early versions of X-Plane9) I was totally dismayed on how little was really available in the major areas of mega airports.
