• 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.

Hello everyone!

As already posted in the "working on scenery" part I thought I'd go ahead and create an extra topic since I've got updates to the project.

Freeware for EDKB Bonn-Hangelar, Germany.

Bonn-Hangelar Airfield, situated in the picturesque region of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, has a rich history dating back to the early 20th century. Originally established in 1913 as a military airfield, it played a significant role during both World Wars, serving as a strategic hub for German aviation. Following World War II, the airfield underwent extensive reconstruction and was repurposed for civilian use, becoming a vital center for general aviation and flight training. Throughout its history, Bonn-Hangelar Airfield has evolved into a bustling aviation facility, fostering a vibrant community of pilots, enthusiasts, and aviation professionals. Today, it continues to serve as a key landmark in the region, offering a gateway to the skies for both recreational and commercial aviation pursuits.

Features for the project will (eventually) include:
  • Fully modelled airside & landisde of the civilian part of the airfield
  • Fully modelled airside of the federal police apron, including animated gate entry point
  • Dynamic changing of signs and other stuff by environmental factors
  • Custom night lighting
  • Custom animations such as windsocks etc.
  • Entirely custom ground texture works
  • Custom (removable) static aircraft

The previous stage of the project was already quite picturesque, however there was an important part missing.

In the meantime....​

... I had the chance to gather the required information and pictures for the area of the German Federal Police, featuring some old but very prominent buildings. This progress allowed me to complete the apron for everyone desiring to fly a few police helicopters out of EDKB. (Don't worry about the windows for the tower - MSFS Glass material is not displayed correctly in my Blender version).

This, in turn, allowed me to "complete" the modelling stages and - due to the fact that I've spent a lot of time working on the ground details in between - meant the last build I created was the very first pre-alpha version of the scenery. There's still much to be done in terms of optimization, especially in terms of LODs and textures, but for the moment I am happy to say that I've compiled the very first complete airfield.

More updates to come!

All the best!
