• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

P3D v4 EBAW Antwerp International Airport

After two years of working on this. Having taken well over 10.000 pictures at the airport I've finally published Phase 1 of my scenery project. This first phase fucusses on the airport itself, lacks night textures or seasonal textures.

It's the airport of Antwerp, in Belgium. Home to the Fokker 50 flying VLM airline. It's a base of operations for many executive jet operations, several flying schools and lots of GA.

The scenery was in Sketchup and used Arno's magnificent ModelConverterX tool to get it into FS.
It's compatible with FSX, P3Dv2+ and requires SODE for the windsocks.

The scenery is installed via a brand new program i created that will download the scenery, install it into the desired Sim and add the required records to the scenery.cfg of that sim. It also enables the user to switch on/off certain features of the scenery such as static aircraft, people, cars, etc. The application also enables me to push updates to users.

If you're interested you can download the installer for free from this link

Wow, that is really impressive. It is amazing what can be done with simple and free tools.

Great choice of airports as well, this is one that has been missing in FS as long as I can remember...

Hi George,

Sadly the application is not compatible with Windows XP, because it requires Dot Net 4.6. Which isn't supported on Windows XP.

Wow! Those people are some of the best I have seen in a flightsim. Confused... is it just the installer that is available for download or is that with the airport as well?

Basically you download the installer, that will install another install, that will download and install the scenery ;-)

Hi Johan,

Great scenery!! Quick question, why is there a "sub" folder called "ef0d732c-0beb-4024-a78b-56199b3d8caf" between the location i've selected and the "scenery" and "texture" folders?

Thanks!
It's a unique id and should not be changed by the user. Otherwise the program will not be able to update / uninstall the scenery when needed.
