Hello everybody,
This is the main thread for the community project on EDDS airport in MSFS 2020.
The whole point of this post is to gather support for the project! If you’re interested at all (no coding skill required) and want to help fellow simmers out, just join the discord server. It’s totally alright if you’ve got no experience - we can show you how and where you can help us.
I’m fluent in english and german.

MAJOR UPDATE: We have merged this project with another project, also on EDDS, managed by @Titanier2002. For any questions, refer to him or me. The new update contains loads of details on the aprons, integrated scenery for the terminal building, the DHL freight terminal and EDDS tower. HUGE THANKS TO @NoteBeule338, @Titanier2002, @firedevil579, @RexShockVIPER and the many more who have pushed this project in their freetime. We will continue working on it, e.g. expect NavData in an Alpha version soon.
