    EHAM Schiphol Apron lighting - Image 1

    Description

    Important message:

    Sadly in the latest Sim updates compatibility broke with Taxiway Q. Please check out this mod as a substitute: https://flightsim.to/file/28881/eham-lights-mod

    I lost the files for for this mod, so I can not change it. If there is enough demand I could make an extra dependency to fix Taxiway Q, but this will be a seperate mod. Please leave a comment if interested.

     

     

     

    This scenery only applies extra lighting to the buildings of Schiphol Airport.


    I was a little dissapointed in myself that I didn't buy the Premium version of the game that includes a hand-crafter version of the airport. Sadly there are no third-party airports for Schiphol yet, so I need to ease the pain a little bit for myself.
    To make arriving to the gate a little easier and less dark I decided to place some lights around the airport. These are divided in 2 categories:

    Pier lighting:
    Due to a lack of assets in the game for lighting on buildings there is 1 big mast at each gate. These are all placed related to the heading of the gate.

    Apron lighting:
    All apron lighting is placed based on GPS coördinates. I used all the correct masts as far as I could identify on the aerial photography



    Please note:
    The scenery was made with the Standard version of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. It is possible that lights are not correctly placed in the Deluxe and Premium versions of the game, as they are hand-crafted by Asobo

    Unfortunately I have to confirm that this mod completely ruins taxiway Q at EHAM. Would be awesome if that could be fixed, as the airport is now covered in darkness again...


    EDIT: I made my own mod without this issue: https://flightsim.to/file/28881/eham-lights-mod

    Great mod, but unfortunately this mod makes taxiway Q very bumpy (especially the part where it crosses the highway). Without the mod the taxiway is as it should be.

    It is all made with vanilla stuff, so yea it should still be working. I have not verified it though.

    I've flew above Schiphol at night in July and made a picture. Most of the lights are yellow instead of white. Let me know if you need the picture.

    Please do share the picture. Sadly I am somewhat limited by the in-game assets, but I can check if I will be able to improve

    can we get cairo next please for apron lighting ?

    over 5 years ago

    As I have never flown there probably not. At the moment I am creating content for things that annoy me so I will try to fix it myself as good as I can.

    I do have some changes I want to make to this scenery to make it look a little more like the lights are mounted against the building. But that will be in my own pace.

    Downloaded this mod a couple of days ago and actually forgot I had it.
    Tonight I did a short flight from EBBR to EHAM and was very suprised the standard Schiphol looked that great. Because of your work we all can enjoy an awesome Amsterdam Airport, Thanks!

    Version History

    * Shrunk the lights on the piers by 40% to match the size of a building lamp. They were out of proportion * Lit up the well known Schiphol tower, this was missing * Added a little easter egg area, see if you can spot the difference at pier H. Submut a picture when you find it :)
