• 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.

Hi pinkjr.

It's not my project. This is the work of developer Dieter Kreiskott. I represent Dieter's interests here with the FSDevelopers so he can concentrate on his airport project.

Dieter reads here and he will be very happy about your friendly compliment :)

For our friends of the FS9 it looks currently not so good. But this can only be decided by the developer himself. I can not give an answer at this time :)

This scenery looks very familiar to those, created by Aerosoft... is this one going to be developed by Aerosoft as well?
As you mentioned, this is created by someone, named Dieter Kreiskott... is Dieter working for Aerosoft currently?

Hello.

This article in the forum is primarily intended to document the development process of Hamburg Finkenwerder EDHI. All further information on the publication will be communicated later :)

Hello.

Dieter Kreiskott was again very diligent and has created many new buildings and a part of the lighting system (3d lights), as well as the aerial image revised. Furthermore, a running light "Rabbit" and SODE-driven wind objects have been added:

A very important piece of information. The developer decided to publish the project EDHI Hamburg Finkenwerder as a donation project. Dieter hopes that the income will help people in need.

Hammer!!

This looks really amazing, absolutely professional work similar to ORBX and Aerosoft.

If you see the progress in the details, then you can imagine how MEGA the airport will look at the end
My Congratulations to Dieter and his team.

Really good JOB, GO AHEAD! :)

Yes, thank you! But Finkenwerder is not yet finished. Dieter does most of the work alone, so he does not need a team :)

Moin.

It continues with the development work in EDHI Finkenwerder, the pictures show the current state of development ...

Even dynamic wind objects are not missing. Here is the picture of the customized SODE windsock

Meanwhile, the building library alone has grown to 85 buildings! The developer Dieter Kreiskott will probably be finished by Christmas with his project, at least he does everything for it. And Dieter has found a large publisher, through the EDHI Finkenwerder is published as a donation project :)

An important milestone has been reached!

It's done. Dieter Kreiskott has completed the construction of the building and so 91 detailed buildings are now standing on the grounds of Finkenwerder Airport. Of course, there are also pictures of the last finished buildings:

Hi.

Hereby it will be officially announced!

From 15.12, so the planned release date, Finkenwerder can be purchased in the download shop of Aerosoft. The minimum price was set at 11.90 euros. So 10, - min. For the hospice and 1.90 taxes Aerosoft must pay yes. However, everyone at the site may also give more, which we would all like to concede. Because it is for a really good cause and the developer Dieter Kreiskott has also put a lot of time into it for you.

Now it is in your hands how successful the donation project will be ... :)


The aerial picture and the variations
Of course, only three variations were planned for the aerial photo in Finkenwerder, now it has become five - the coverage of the seasons is therefore complete :)

During the development process in Finkenwerder also new techniques were tried out, old techniques were refined. This resulted in five different variations of the aerial photo. Four of the five variations refer to the spring, summer, fall and winter seasons. The fifth variation of the aerial picture is the night aerial picture. Again, an old technique with a new and self-developed technique was applied, which comes for the first time in Finkenwerder to wear. The result can be seen here:

Hello dear community!

Who would have thought that ...

There is very good information about the donation project Hamburg-Finkenwerder. After Aerosoft had agreed to take over the distribution of EDHI and forwarded the donations directly to the Kinderhospitz Baltasar, the airport Finkenwerder was sold 384 times until now. That makes an amount of 4000 EUR !!!

A commitment to a good idea pays off.
