    Description

    Spangdahlem Air Base (IATA: SPM, ICAO: ETAD, former code EDAD) is a NATO air base with the United States Air Force as a tenant constructed between 1951 and 1953 and located near the small German town of Spangdahlem, approximately 30 km NNE of the city of Trier, Rhineland-Palatinate.

    I still have some more buildings to add and fences but its had a lot of work so far

    to see the Static F-15's you will need the Lakenheath scenery.

    The SC designs F16 and the skin i did have to shorten the top folder length to get it to unzip

    Hi nickb007, I found another annoying issue. In MSFS 2024 the scenery removes all the procedures (departues, arrivals, SIDs, STARs) from the airport. I also encountered this problem with some of your other great sceneries. Could you perhaps take a look at this issue?

    yeah its because at the time i started making scenery stuff i didn't know that was a thing, i do now so i'm adding the links back in but it is time consuming, I have made the new tower i just need to get that into the project

    No need to hurry, take your time. I really appreciate your work. Just wanted to give you a hint about that issue, as I did with jdiegels great airports. You both make flying military stuff in MSFS 2024 enjoyable.

    Hi nickb007, I faced the same issues with Miramar assets. Asobo/Microsoft replaced some of the objects. Miramar tower now consists of two elements: KNKX_75 for the tower itself and KNKX_75_Props for the details.

    Thank you, i will make the correct looking tower, as with a lot of my sceneries i used default objects to start with but then started to learn how to make my own

    Looks great, but despite having installed all dependencies I have no control tower building in MSFS 2024 (compare attached image to screenshots here). Is this a known issue in 2024? As the screenshots here clearly show a control tower near the shelters.

    thank you i have since found out that the 2020 Miramar assets don't show up in 24, but i will be updating the scenery with its own custom tower some time soon

    it will work i just haven't checked it out yet, there might be default buildings where i have already placed buildings but that's an easy fix, i will get onto it but give it a try some work without and modifications

    see below
    AI Overview
    Based on available information, Spangdahlem Air Base (ETAD) transitioned its main runway designation from 04/22 to 05/23 due to magnetic drift.
    Evidence of change: A social media post from a spotter group on February 25, 2026, confirmed"I realise it's now 05/23".
    Context: Similar to other European airports, this change reflects the shift in magnetic north, requiring runway numbers (which are based on magnetic heading) to be updated periodically.
    Note: While the results mention a 05/23 designation in early 2026, they do not pinpoint the exact date the change was painted on the runway, only that it was in effect as of February 2026.

    maybe ask Navigraph to update there end

    3 months ago

    I agree, basically all public data says 05/23 for the runway designation. Navigraph is based on real Jeppesen data, and I also have access to up-to-date Jeppesen worldwide charts on Jeppesen FliteDeck Pro app, which also show the runway as 04/22 on all charts and data for ETAD. The only public service I can find that says 04/22, is FlightRadar24.

    I searched the NOAA METAR history for any low visibility conditions which usually mention the runway, and below is a METAR from March 2nd at 1455z, mentioning visibility 2400 for runway 22:
    METAR ETAD 021455Z 17007KT 9999 CLR 15/03 A3011 RMK AO2A VIS 2400 RWY22 SLP192 T01470032 57011 FZRANO

    Below are a couple of active NOTAMs for ETAD:
    B) 02 MAR 2026 20:00 C) 03 MAR 2026 20:00
    E) SEQUENCED FLG LGT OUT OF SVC ON RWY 22.

    B) 19 DEC 2025 10:11 C) 12 MAR 2026 23:59
    E) RWY 04 ILS FAR FIELD MONITOR OUT OF SERVICE.

    Also, the MSFS2024 online Flight Planner has 04/22, so I take the default scenery has 04/22 as well. The data is based on Lufthansa Systems LIDO navdata cycle 2602.

    Anyway, I will rest my case.

    @nickb007: ...I think, this is named "rapid reaction"....(force)..... . ;-D A question, I ever wanted to ask: How to solve such "issues" - is that like "LEGO"? Just think, everybody nows, what to do with these LEGO-bricks.... ;-) Is there a sort of MSFS 2020/2024 "scenery-buildings-construction kit"? I know, what an aircraft.cfg is and how it looks - and I know, you must exactly know, what to do (otherwise the whole thing is ruined...) and must be reinstalled.

    yeah it was as simple as plotting a box round the offending buildings and ticking a box, the sim has a thing called the SDK, which you can download if you turn on Dev mode in the options.
    This gives you the tools to build scenery in sim using anything you have installed in you official and community folders, and again inserting your own custom models, you arfe welcome to send me a DM if you want to discuss further
