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 all,
with the recent release of ORBX' OpenLC Africa, I indeed decided to return to Addis Ababa and work on an update which my original scenery definitely needs.
With that update I intend to first and foremost bring the scenery to the real airport's current expansion state, including the massive changes on the terminals, the expanded GA apron and some additional taxiways.
I , I have reworked the ground polygon from scratch, to address some issues such as really blurry runway textures and missing shadows in P3D, and I will re-model some of the more prominent buildings (such as terminal 2) with a higher level of detail, to hopefully upgrade the overall look and feel of the scenery.
What I wont be able to include is dynamic lighting and PBR, I simply lack a) the knowledge and b) the motivation to do so (my PC is a literal potato, I wouldnt even be able to properly test it/use it in-sim due to performance problems), sorry!
I will provide two versions, one ready for use with GSX Level 2, one with static jetways, aimed at GSX1 users.
Some preview screenshots should follow in the very near future, hope you all have understanding for my limitations and are still interested in a newer version of this airport
Cheers!

Magnus thanks! Very great to hear that. What I would do myself is place some inibuilds Dynamic Light effects myself in the afcad. Oddly this works in other airports scenery but did not work with your previous version. if I could add the light effects myself that would be plenty fine. Not sure why it did not work in the last version of your airports scenery.Hi all,

Hello! Where could I download the Addis Ababa scenery for FSX? The whitedotsim website seems to be down, and the download links have been disabled. Thanks!
