Introduction

The new Microsoft Flight Simulator is a massive improvement upon the old Flight Simulator 98-era program and shows immense promise as a new flight simulation platform. Unfortunately, after doing a few test flights at my home airport (Lelystad Airport - EHLE/LEY), I noticed some glaring omissions and room for improvement. Instead of complaining, I decided to take matters into my own hands and create a high-quality rendition of the airport from scratch.

Features

Some of the features included in my scenery package include:

• Highly detailed 3D models of (almost) all buildings at the airport
• Aviodrome aviation museaum including aircraft displays
• Accurate parking numbering and movement area layout
• New terminal building
• Lengthened runway and extended taxiways

Latest version available: 1.0.0

Changelog:

Updated:
• Terminal interior updated and expanded.
• Terminal parking stands.
• Added buildings: HeliHolland, AIS Flight Academy, AIS Hangar, AirWaterland, Xtrata25, KLM Aeroclub (many thanks to user Garfield!)
• Added first iteration of blast fences and Lelystad Airport sign.

Known issues:
• Glass textures on the new terminal are tempermental, I'm working out how to get them done properly.
• Railing textures around the escalator/stairs aren't working properly for some reason.
• Apron z-fighting issue (being looked at)
• Blurry apron textures.
• Windsock direction is backward, being investigated.
• Blast fencing is not complete; will be fixed in the next update.
• VFR Circuit Marker LODs aren't working properly; I've scaled the model to about 150% actual size, but the LOD issue is a known issue in the sim.

Fixed:
• Runway approach lighting
• VFR Circuit Marker Positions
• Height mismatch on second floor of the new terminal.
• Overall height/elevation issues occasionally.

Planning for future update:
• Fix glass/facade issues on the new terminal.
• Add helicopter practice area etc.
• New terminal apron upgrade textures.
• Blast fence position.
• Windsocks.
