[Freeware] [WIP] Lelystad Airport (EHLE) - Update 15/08/2021

Kan you also include the KLM-AERO Club? Maybe with a C172 PH-WVO outside, it is one of the leading flying clubs on the field,

Thanks

It’s already included. :partying_face:

The new taxiway lines you are working on look great!

Hopefully Asobo will do something about the LODs. Small objects disappear way too soon, they should let you override this.

Updated to 0.7.2 (major update)

A very special thanks to users Garfield and Vlammetje for providing textures and/or assests I’ve used in this rendition! I really appreciate it!

I have managed to almost halve the download size (aerial + scenery)!

The textures for several buildings are (hopefully) noticably better and more professional than the first iteration. I’m very, very pleased with how the textures are turning out, but there are more than 60 buildings to do at the airport so please bear with myself and Garfield as we work through them one by one.

Updated features:

  • Taxiway lines/markings (more-or-less finished)
  • Runway mesh/textures (more-or-less finished)
  • Rotors & Wings (Garfield)
  • Wings over Holland*
  • Zelf Vliegen
  • Aviation House
  • Stichting Vroege Vogels
  • ANWB
  • AIS Flight Academy/Technics
  • Aeroshell
  • Specto
  • AeroService/Camo BV
  • Various details

Issues:

  • Light intensity of various lights needs to be adjusted.
  • Haven’t figured out LODs for the visual pattern markers yet, will also be coming soon.
  • *Wings over Holland textures are still in progress, the included textures are temporary. Garfield is really making them outstanding; it’ll be worth the wait!

Planned work:

  • Finalize aerial image
  • Taxiway/runway signage

Scenery Features

  • (Almost) all of the buildings are custom handcrafted models with up-to-date textures.
  • Aviodrome museum with aircraft displays.
  • Background satellite imagery up to date (March 2020).
  • Runway lengthened to 2700 metres with corresponding taxiways.
  • Details around the airfield including visual reference points.

Wings over Holland hangar complex did not make it into this version, will make in the next version. :slight_smile:

Version 0.8.2 is now live.

A very special thanks to users Garfield and Vlammetje for providing textures and/or assests I’ve used in this rendition! Garfield has really added an extra dimension with his texturing skills, and I’m forever grateful to Vlammetje for facilitating a real-world tour of the airport. Flight Simulator Forums user PoorlyMaple (aka Emile) provided me with base textures for two Aviodrome aircraft, so a big thanks to him as well!

Updated features:

  • Fokker 50 textures (Emile/PoorlyMaple)
  • KLM Fokker 100 textures (Emile/PoorlyMaple)
  • Dura Vermeer/JetSupport model (model + textures; textures by Garfield)
  • AIS Flight Academy (textures by Garfield)
  • Aviodrome Schiphol building (model + textures)
  • AeroService/Camo BV (textures)
  • AirWaterland (model + textures)
  • Xtrata25 (textures)
  • HeliCenter (textures by Garfield + myself)
  • Taxiway line textures and poly (the lines were much too thick; I’ve made them thinner and updated the texture as well)

Issues:

  • Light intensity of various lights needs to be adjusted.
  • Haven’t figured out LODs for the visual pattern markers yet, will also be coming soon.
  • I have noticed that the roofing texture is very dark if it’s not bright and sunny out. Unfortunately for me, that I means I need to go through and change the settings for every model using this texture. I’ll fix this shortly.
  • While busy with the taxiway markings, I noticed the underlying aprons have all shifted slightly. I will be correcting this as well in a future update.
  • I am also aware that there is a colour-mismatch in the enhanced centrelines/hold short lines and the normal taxi lines. Not exactly sure why since it’s the same base image, but that’s FS. I’ll look into that as well.

Planned work:

  • Finalize aerial image
  • Taxiway/runway signage
  • New terminal building
  • Finish buildings (actually, excluding Aviodrome only a handful more to go)
  • Detail work (small objects like benches, trees, vehicles, etc.)

The airport is coming along nicely! Only a handful of buildings are left.

Garfield has really done a great job on the buildings around the F-Apron and others:

  • Wings over Holland
  • Nimbus
  • Rotors and Wings
  • KLM Aeroclub
  • HeliCentre (East)
  • Vliegclub Flevo
  • Dura Vermeer/JetSupport
  • AIS Flight Academy
  • HeliCenter

Vlammetje facilitated an airside tour of the airport which will really help me kick the detail up another notch. Here are just a few of the ±700 pictures I took:

(Oh I can’t resist, here’s the in-sim of that photo:)

Ooh man this is looking so good. This is my favorite Dutch 3rd party airfield by far atm (might also be the sentiment of having my first flights behind the controls there).

Can you facilitate a parking spot at the old schiphol from aviodome? With the PMDG DC-6 coming out that would be amazing to start from. Plus I want to start there to replicate those flights I did :slight_smile:

Very nice job you are doing! Maybe do some promotions with the FSweekend team? They do an FS event every year in the Aviodrome :slight_smile:

Another question, is the separate aerial download also necessary? What are you missing if you do not download it?

Yes, you need this one:

A very nice and accurate airport background. :slight_smile:

Repainting started on the “Pioneer hangaar”

Love the old school colours of this hangar.

Frank. Is het misschien beter ipv het Fokker 50 model er een F27 model voor te gebruiken op de appron bij het oude Schiphol gebouw. Zag dat er een mooi model is met de TAM beschildering. En als je mij op een of andere manier de textures geeft dan schilder ik er de kleuren wel op die de machine in Lelystad heeft. Groet

Frank. Heb je mijn eerdere bericht ontvangen over de Fooker 50 en de Fokker 100.
Kleuren van de Fokker 100 moeten misschien gelijk getrokken worden met de Boeing 747.
En jammer dat het horizontal stabilo van de Fokker 50 ook de tecture krijgt van het vertical stabilo.
Is er miischien een separate file voor het horizontal stabilo. Stuur je de plaatjes separaat



Update augustus 2022: The problem with the falling passenger stairs is no longer an issue after later updates of MSFS2020.

Hi Frank! For me the taxi lines are now floating above the tarmac. And the draw distance of the lines are very short now.
