Asobo's World Update 18 messed up the current representation of Egelsbach by FlyingD. So this update is not only about adding additional stuff. It also fixes the worst issues caused by the World Update until an actualisation by FlyingD gets available. It's not perfect but should do for the meantime.

FlyingD offers the only reasonable presentation of this airfield. With a runway length of only 1,400 meters Egelsbach is pretty small but the busiest GA airfield in Germany seeing traffic mostly from single engined aircraft but also from smaller business jets. It lies in the town of Egelsbach about 20 km south of Frankfurt.

The scenery by Flying D is fully handcrafted and available at simmarket:

My mod further enhances the scenery and adds more detail that is typical for Egelsbach.

It was uploaded with kind permission by FlyingD. None of the original files were altered.

 

The following is included

- rows of static planes on the grass and around the hangars

- two starting points for helicopters

- a static Bell 407 and two Cabris at the heliport

- trees removed from WLL Logistik building

- static TBM 930 and workers at the gas station

- small checkerboard buildings near grass runway

- runway markings and cones on taxiway (grass runway)

- people in the bar and restaurant

- for those who have the payware Microsoft Antonov An-2 installed, it will appear in the line-up on the grass

- removel of duplicate windsock

- DFS radar site at Dreieich 10 km north-east of Egelsbach (check POI-marker if necessary)

 

Installation

Unzip the file into your community folder.

Install the dependencies as listed below. Two libraries are recommended but optional as they account for only 1 or 2 small objects each. All static aircraft are default Asobo planes. For the radar site you need the FSDG- and UK2000-libraries free from the marketplace as well as the New Zealand, US and UK World Updates.
