    [EHTW] Twente Airport - Image 1

    Description

    Twente airport is a general aviation airport in the east of the Netherlands. Because of its military past it has a large runway: 2.4 km, or almost 8000 feet. It recently started functioning as an airplane parking for airliners, because of the large amount of unused space left when the military closed/left the airport (so you can land your jumbo-jet if you so desire).

    The runway has all realistic dimensions, run-offs and lighting, from VASI to approach lighting just as in real life, also all taxiways and GA parkings that I know of are in here. Now also included are the military parkings and bunkers, for even more ways to use this airport.

    The download contains 2 folder, one with the airport data as in the runway, taxiways and parking, called radohm-ehtw-base, and the other folder has the aerial imagery in a low resolution. This give you the choice if you only want the airport or also the aerial imaging of the airports nearby surroundings. Just copy what you want to the community folder. If you are interested in the medium or high resolution versions of the aerial imagery, send me a message.

    Well done, thank you! I've been there years ago when there was still scheduled commercial traffic.


    Am I seeing correctly that there are no more active instrument approach procedures (ILS, VOR, NDB, RNAV etc.)? At least I cannot find related charts in Navigraph!

    Thank you for the kind words! They really mean a lot to me when I spend 2 hours again to get a thing fixed for an sim update. For the ILS approaches they aren't officially active any more, but I believe they do turn them on when an airlines comes in to be parked there, so the system should be there, be I have no idea as if yet how to put that in Flight Sim 😅

    Dear Kingma,

    I have used your rendition of this airport as it was completely missing from MSFS. Many thanks for adding it. I recently found out (after SU7, but I'm not sure if they might already have been added in an earlier update) that many of the missing airports have been added by Asobo into the default MSFS after all (EHVN, EHEH, EHVK, EHLW, EHKD, EHDL, EHWO and EHTW). Those default ones are rather ugly though, with empty bright-green aerials and default buildings, so I would like to use your rendition, in particular for the trees, but also for the hangars and the hill that you modelled, as those are missing in the default rendition. However, this now leads to double runways and taxiways as your addon is placed on top of the new default MSFS airport, without removing the one from Asobo. Would it be possible to resolve this and remove Asobo's airport when installing yours?

    Thank you for the positive comments! I indeed noticed the same, and I've added it to my to-do list. I hope to work on it shortly, possibly this weekend. I've also noticed some bumps around the airport as my and Asobo's version collide in some places, I hope to smooth those out as well

    I've actually updated it now, should work, although the in-game name is Twenthe AB now following the microsoft flight simulator name as I can't change that sadly to the more accurate name of Twente Airport, but the double runways etc should be gone

    Wow, that was quick! Thanks, it looks good again!!!

    Sorry, but for me this add-on still seems to work correctly, can you let me know what needs updateing?

    about 5 years ago

    I used it without the lowres file and things just didnt look right, might be because i didnt want to use lowres imagery.

    almost 5 years ago

    Yeah, that is because Airport Twente was a military airbase but still is blurred out for some reason on bing maps. So without the imagery, it is just a weird looking flat surface, with a landing strip, taxiways and bushes on it. Not much I can do about that, but I just included the option to only have the airport for performance reasons

    Very nice, you have even modelled our TZC gliding clubhouse, it makes it a lot more fun to fly around Enschede and its vicinity now. I was really disappointed that Enschede and EHTW weren't included in the photogrammetry at first.

    Thanks for adding my local airfield, much appreciated!

    My company is in B515, I also have a drone and can ask for flying clearance, do you need me to take pictures of certain areas?

    I also modelled one of the bunkers, inside and out.

    over 5 years ago

    Cool stuff, I'd love to have the bunker model, but I probably only need the outside for performance reasons, but if I implement it I am willing to make you a custom Twente with the complete model at B515.

    Also some pictures would really help in making it as accurate as possible, since I used google maps for pretty much everything, which is a year or something old, while the new airliner parking is already constructed and in use. So it would be awesome to get a recent picture of the large airliner parking halfway of the runway. Any picture of other areas that have changed recently would be very welcome as well, thanks for offering this! I'll send you a pm with my details

    Great work, only weird thing is some trees that are inside buildings but maybe you can fix that in your next update.
