Since I heard the FlyTampa version still has some time to go and I had some time to make this, I decided to completely redo my enhancement. 

!! PLEASE DO NOT POST/SEND COMMENTS WITH QUESTIONS THAT ARE ANSWERED IN THE TEXT BELOW !!

This was a lot of work. It took me two full weeks (daily 8 hours at least) to do all the work. Therefor a small donation to my work would be highly apreciated. Even 1 euro/dollar would already be nice! https://www.buymeacoffee.com/svenduijff

WHAT IS NEW IN V4?

- All new ground textures.
- Runway textures enhanced (complete redo was not posible due to limitations).
- Custom painted lines all over the airport.
- Custom taxiway ground signs.
- Custom taxiway directional signs.
- It should be AI-traffic proof.
- A default Asobo Jetway version.
- GSX version.
- Jetway gate signs (showing the gate number as in real life).
- Terraforming all over the airport, removing the weird bumps.
- Added the second taxiway bridge at Q-taxiway.
- Custom night lighting on taxiways and apron (manually drawn).
- Orange and blue lines near G-apron/terminal.
- Redone Schiphol East (general aviation).
- Replaced several items that were in the way.

IMPORANT TO KNOW!

- I did not yet make a new GSX profile. The former one is NOT 100% compatable. 
- In my screenshots I make use of the Google Maps tiles instead of Bing.

MINIMAL SCENERY REQUIREMENTS:

- MSFS 2020 (just to be sure).
- Asobo Amsterdam PREMIUM DELUXE (it will not work with the default scenery).
- 'EHAM Amsterdam Schiphol Airport Enhancements (Premium Edition)' by BrickbyBrickDesigns (this is optional, however I can't say if your installation will look the same as with me if you leave it out). It is avaible on this site.
- GSX Pro is adviced (a non-GSX version is now included using default jetways by Asobo).

IMPORTANT NOTES:

- If you are using my other modification with several apron markings. Be sure to delete it before adding this enhancement. Remove any previous versions I made!
- The former GSX profile is NOT COMPATIBLE with this version. A new one is in the making, but will take a few more days. 
- The scenery works on my end, and at several beta-testers. I don't use any other add-ons then mentioned in this text. If it is not working, I might not be able to help you. 
- This is a big enhancement package. On my high-end PC it has only little impact on FPS, however it might impact your system more then others. I used mostly default textures and only very little custom ones.
- Besides bug-fixes I will not add any other items anymore as in two months or so the new FlyTampa version should be finally there. 

INSTALLATION:

1 - Exit MSFS if not already done so. Remove any previous versions of my enhancements installed.

2 - Copy the files 'duijffmedia-airport-eham-amsterdam'+ 'duijffmedia-airport-eham-amsterdam-lighting' to your Community folder (either the GSX or non-GSX version, not both!). Usually this folder is found at 'C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Community'. 

3 - Open FSDT Installer (only when using GSX, comes with any FS Dreamteam add-on). Go to the GSX Pro Config tab. Make sure you have the EHAM_jetways.bgl disabled. I personally used the 'Exclude 3rdparty' button.

4 - Find the 'Addon Manager' file of the GSX installation. Go to 'MFSF\fsdreamteam-gsx-world-of-jetways\SimObjects\Landmarks\FSDT_WorldOfJetways'. Place the file texture.SCHIPHOL in this file and overwrite the original (backup the orinal first). You have to redo this everytime you update GSX.

Now you can launch MSFS. Would love to hear what you think! Enjoy it.

Yours, 

Sven

NEW! Schiphol Amsterdam (EHAM) - Mega Enhancement (non-GSX version included) - V4.0.1

Even though I did not plan to make this... There were just to many little frustrations with the default Deluxe Asobo Amsterdam Airport scenery, that I decided to enhance it a bit more. Be free to let me know what you think. If it is not to your taste, simply delete it.
