Update 2.2: Time for another update. New Blender made yellow tents which cover the arresting gears. I did a few TACAN RWY 27 approaches in the 104 with my VOR DME station and the heading/ radial 269 was off. I forgot to set a MAGVAR of -4 to the VOR in Aiport Design Editor 2020, which is now done. Now you can fly a perfect TACAN approach and missed approach with the Simskunkworks 104 (or any other aircraft with VOR DME), which doesn´t come with  ILS equippment. 

The same time I uploaded a new PHI file for navigation (visual or instrument approach)

Update 2.1: Got the wrong, elder version of my BGL last time. This time the runway apron colours are fixed whole lenght of RW.

Update Version 2.0 :

Thanks to Airport Design Editor ADE2020 I was able to change the airport itself.

I corrected wrong taxiway surface signs (see pictures) , aprons, parking positions and the colours of the runway.

I removed most of the terraforming around the shelters, because it´s hard to match the original flora there and it makes problems with some objects. But now the shelters have pushback and parking markings (Eurofighter size).

You can make a cold start from the shelters named Ramp 2, 6 and 27. I put some Asobo stuff in there. You can just taxi out of the closed shelter doors (no collision modeled), I hope Mikea.at will make open versions soon. I put lights inside so you don´t need your spotlight during night start up.

I even made my first Blender objects, the arresting cables. So you no longer need the normal AssetPack you read about in the older text below. You must use the MilitaryPack.

As the Skunkworks 104s use a fake TACAN receiver I included a VOR DME now.

The VOR DME runs on 108.95 MHz or 26Y TACAN channel with NEUB as Ident. So as the fake receiver in the 104 shows NOTHING on 26X make one further click to 26Y und you receive now. I used 108.95 instead of the correct 108.90 because ASOBO included a working TACAN with that frequency and I don´t want to jam that. So if you dial 108.90 in  a Garmin G1000 you read NEU and if you tune 108.95 you read NEUB.

 

 

Old text is still valid except the points above:

 

This is a enhancement of Neuburg an der Donau Airbase ETSN.

I started this project only thanks to Mikea.at and his MilitaryPack and AssetPack. You must dowload and install his packs or you wont see the shelters and arresting cables.

It is an enhancement only. I don´t have the time and talent to make 3D objects in the quality of the ETSN new control tower which is an architectural wonder. I just put in place what I found in the SDK scenery list and mixed that together. My control tower is a combination of two buildings for example.

As there was no TACAN sender I combined the beacon tower with a white fuel cylinder. My arresting cables are power cables by Mikea.at just resized. I changed some buildings (hangar and shelter) just to get the appearance of the real things. So don´t expect photogrammetry quality.

 

The QRA area is now fenced in and I did add the earth walls. The airbase was fenced in only from base entrance around final RW27 and -as usual- you will find some spotters there. As I couldn´t find any one klick way to draw some kilometers of fence in the SDK the fence ends very soon.

Terraforming is a bitch. I couldn´t hide the shelters as I wanted because you will get huge popouts or holes  instead of geometrical structures. There was no option to build clean structures without irregularities.

I built this scenery for my Sim Skunk Works F-104G, which comes with a fake TACAN receiver that receivs only VOR or VORTACS. If you dial in channel 26X you see NOTHING. If you dial 26X in your Asobo Super Hornet you can read NEU as it should be. I hope Sim Skunk Works will fix this mess and I can edit this text. I made a PHI navigation file that you can download here:

https://flightsim.to/file/31893/f-104g-starfighter-ins-waypoints-phi-file-germany

It includes the waypoints of the most important German airbases, as the TACANS don´t work in the 104 of Sim Skunk Works. You can download all charts of these airbases from official Luftwaffe internet pages at milais.org.

Here you can find all neccesary waypoints for visual or instrument approaches:

https://de.flightsim.to/file/34936/f-104g-starfighter-ins-waypoints-phi-file-neuburg-ab-etsn

Alls 4 arresting cables are working with the 104 if you edit your aresstors.ini with my data I uploaded here at flightsim.to.

https://flightsim.to/file/31897/f-104g-starfighter-sim-skunk-works-arresting-cables-for-etsn-neuburg-airbase

Of course I did visual references with cables and housings, too, but these cables don´t move.

I can´t edit Taxi or RW markings, because the SDK doesn´t aollow this, you must edit the whole airport for this......

I put 2 Super Hornet guests on the airbase, if you would like to see some Eurofighters instead you must buy me one as I don´t use them in FS2020. I could put them with your liveries where you want in the scenery.

Before I forget: Please turn off your airport traffic (density down to 0) in the settings, because otherwise you have to expect shuttle buses and Cessnas all around.

 

As I use VR I have to say that my frametimes are identical with or without this scenery. At least in that point it´s better than photogrammetry.
