    Description

    LSZU Buttwil, Switzerland

    This charming airfield with a 675 x 30 m grass strip is situated on the Lindenberg hill range, exactly in the middle of a line between the cities of Baden AG and Lucerne. From there many beautiful flights may be done over Switzerland. The standard approach from south is quite challenging, because you make the final just on top of trees (falling woodland terrain). But if you don't touch down and brake in time, you could get in troubles at the end of the runway... just try yourself, why. 

    This is my first design attempt of an airport for MSFS. I took Buttwil, because I remember with pleasure my real flights there in the 70ties. I did not integrate too many details, so the fps should not sink considerably. To see all objects please install also the "mikeaat-assetpack" in the community folder. 

    I think I could catch the special atmosphere of this interesting airport quite well, please enjoy. Find more details and charts on https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flugplatz_Buttwil resp. https://www.flugschule-eichenberger.ch/ 

    Update to version 1.1
    - Optimization for World Update 6
    - Some minor changes to the scenery

    Unfortunately the grass at parkings, taxyways and runway is still far too high. Obviously Asobo did not solve this old problem up to now. Hope dies last...

    Update to version 1.2

    - Avoids trees and house on taxi and runway in SU18 resp. WU18
    - Some ground surfaces corrected to more realism
    - Object positions adjusted to photogrammetry

    Update to version 1.3

    - Added two parking positions

    Hallo Alpinflier
    Die Scenery ist super und vorbildlich. Jedoch fehlt mir bei der Auswahl ein oder zwei Parkingspots. Leider kann man bei der Startauswahl nur die Startpisten auswählen. Liegt es an der Scenery?
    Wenn wieder Parkingspots vorhanden sind, gibt es 5*.

    Hallo Soonie, ich habe versucht, meinen früheren Parkspot wieder einzufügen, bekomme aber jedesmal einen Fehler angezeigt. Bisher habe ich nicht herausgefunden, an was es liegt.
    Edit: Habe es nun herausgefunden. Es braucht seit längerem zwingend einen Taxiway, mit dem man die Parkposition verbinden muss.

    Das tut mir leid, aber bei mir funktioniert alles tadellos, auch mit Update 9. Sollte jemand anders auch dasselbe Problem haben, bitte hier melden. Danke.

    Vielen, vielen Dank! Super schön gemacht. Was würde das für einen Aufwand bedeuten LSZO Luzern-Beromünster zu erstellen? Wenn ich die Fähigkeiten hätte, würde ich LSZO selber erstellen. Ich könnte sonst meine Hilfe anbieten?

    Hallo, herzlichen Dank. Im Moment plane ich keine weiteren Plätze zu erstellen, schon deshalb, weil ich sie nicht näher kenne. Ich nehme aber an, dass sich früher oder später jemand auch um Beromünster kümmern wird. Viel Glück!

    Very lovely! Thanks for this, I was hoping somebody would build the Buttwil airfield :). Thank you!
    The details are also very nicely done.
    If I may add some minor critique, just in case you want to improve it even further in the future: The materials and textures on some of the hangars / buildings are quite simple. It's fine. But of course they could use even a bit more detail and more realistic materials. But in the end, thouse are details.
    Thank you for your work. It's a nice project! :)

    Hello, thank you very much for your nice comments. I agree, that there could be some improvements on materials. But this is a wide playground and I am not very familiar with it. When I know more about, I will have a look again.

    Yes absolutely, I know. I also built a scene and I know it's a lot of work. I just wanted to give some feedback on where I think it could be improved if you want to :). It's already a very nice scenery.
