Important news: Added MSFS 2020 version.

_____________________________________

 

Version 2.0 of my ORBX LKPR Upgraded addon.

Changes:

Changed TWY J, which is more true to life than the previous one.

Visually changed TWY L1 to be more true to life as well.

Fixed terrain glitch at TWY A.

Blocked off TWY K and stand 70 a bit more clearly.

New content:

All alternative stands have been added and are integrated into the airport TWY system. Where applicable, the stands have associated jetways. On stands 1B, 3B and 24B, there are no jetways due to the sim limiting jetways to one stand only. (Stands function as walk-in stands.)

All stands 1-31, all E stands, stands 58A, 58, 58B, 50, M1, M1A and M1B have their spawn positions precisely tuned to spawn planes with their nosewheel on the Tbar. Tested with default Cessna 172, default 737-MAX 8, TFDi MD-11 and FBW A380 where applicable.

Completely reworked cargo apron. Now stands, TWYs and layout matches current situation IRL.

Completely reworked TWY B2 and its connections. Now the whole TWY matches current situation IRL.

Added a ton of missing and edited many wrong markings on aprons (north, cargo and south).

Covered up and altered wrong numbers on signs near stands 9-12. (ORBX just copied "finger" C of the terminal without changing the numbers).

Fixed TWY H1 and surrounding markings. Now matches current situation IRL.

All TWYS have been tested with navigraph maps and are close enough to the 'official' layout to be safely used on VATSIM etc. (See screenshots for details).

What remains:

Most of north and south apron stands don't have precisely tuned spawn positions. The process of tuning is extremely time-consuming and the original positions should be "close enough."

TWY L1 has a rather steep gradient. Removing it would require terraforming half the airport. It is still perfectly navigable, but requires quite a lot of thrust when going from H1 to L, so be aware.

Installation:

If upgrading: Delete original folders named "horin-airport-lkpr-prague" and "zzz-lkpr-ruzyne" and replace them with new ones.

If fresh installing: Extract contents of 2024 folder, into your community folder.

For MSFS 2020 installation see included readme.txt

Compatibility 

MSFS 2024 AND 2020

Speical thanks:

VACC - Czechia discord members for providing me more accurate maps for the new TWY J.

Ondřel Roblík for providing models and textures for the signs used at stands 9-12

Kilian for helping me solve Blender export issue, that delayed the whole project by a week.

Comments:

I really did try to put a lot more effort into the new version, I hope you'll enjoy it. Any feedback/bugfinds or comments are greatly appreciated!

Horin.
