    Nottingham East Midlands Airport - EGNX V3.5 - Image 1

    Description

    This scenery pack builds on the excellent work done by Aviationeh with his East Midlands Airport scenery upgrade.

    EGNX Scenery Installation Guide

    Pre-requisites:-

    To get the most out of my scenery upgrade please also download and install into the Community folder the following:-

    Download the Nottingham East Midlands Airport – EGNX Vx.x scenery file. To keep this instruction generic I’ve referenced it as Vx.x

    The zip file contains two folders:

    1.       ema-egnx-noplanes

    2.       egnx-east-midlands-parking

    Folder 1 is the scenery file with the control tower, improved buildings etc. Folder 2 is the update that corrects the Asobo airport parking mess which meant that traffic from 3rd party traffic apps such as FSLTL were not appearing. Please note, I have only tested with FSLTL and I know this works. I have no reason to suspect other 3rd party traffic apps don’t work but I have not tested them myself.

    V3.5

    An incremental update to correct for missing scenery following the latest updates. These include:

    • The missing buildings at the back of RVL Aviation (Thanks to Ronniegarrod for the feedback)
    • The fire training aircraft at the pad at the airfield’s northern perimeter
    • The missing tanks next to the fire training aircraft

    In addition to the above, as requested by Paul777 I have brought in ‘Tony’ and ‘Winnie’ the two wind turbines in the Spondon area of Derby.

    V3.4

    Incremental update, correcting parking spots 41-44, adding parking spot 45, correcting parking spot 30 position and orientation, correcting DHL ramp parking spots 110-114, 122-125 & 201-203. Thanks to user Harrier77 for the gate feedback.

    V3.3

    Incremental update, Parking spots 40-44 corrected, parking spot 30 reinstated, Parking spot 4 position adjusted to avoid apron lighting, Parking spots 8-17 adjusted

    V3.2

    Incremental update, increasing the size of parking spots 4,5,6 & 7 to permit 737s to park there.

    V3.1

    Incremental tweaks to parking positions, removing building clashes, aligning others and ensuring DHL and UPS jets go to their respective ramps.As ever, all feedback is appreciated.

    V3.0

    Thanks to everyone who took the time to feedback and help out with the lack of FSLTL traffic. This has been identified as an error in the base airport parking parameters which put in lots of small GA parking spots. Using the excellent ADE tool I've been able to tweak and trim the parking slots to make cargo jets go to DHL and UPS ramps and medium to large airliners end up on the passenger flight ramp. There may still be a few odd tweaks needed so if you spot something odd do let me know. The screenshots should convey how much more alive the ramp has become now that Airport specific jets are now appearing in the right places. As ever you're comments are welcomed.

    The ZIP file you download will contain the latest V2.5 scenery updates as well as an additional secnery file which contains the amended parking. Just copy all the contents of the zip files into your community folder and you should be good to go.

    V2.5

    From V2.5 onwards I will only be offering the 'NoPlanes' version of this scenery. The advent of excellent add-ons such as FSLTL means I no longer need to put static aircraft in, the right aircraft should be flying in and parking up now. :) That said I will be keeping the AN-225 parked up outside the DHL facility in honour of our fallen friends in Ukraine.

    This version is an incremental update incorporating feedback received in the comments... as ever they are greatly appreciated and I do try to address the queries raised. New in this version:

    • Added more apron lighting to the length of the flightlne from DHL in the west to UPS in the east.
    • Added car park lighting
    • Updated East Midlands Gateway logistics park incorporating some new in construction buildings (according to Goodle Maps!)

    Regarding FSLTL. I'm seeing comments regarding the EGNX mod being incompatible with FSLTL. I've tested this and even with all of the scenery removed so EGNX is back to MSFS default I get no liveried aircraft through FSLTL. I've made no changes other than adding scenery assets to the airport so can't see how I've made it incompatible with FSLTL, that being said I will continue to monitor and test.

    V2.4

    Re-instating the improved control tower, the north side fire training mockup and the admin building at the entrance to East Midlands Gateway that recent Sim Updates seem to have broken.

    Minor Update 5/6/22 - The No Planes version now updated to include the improved control tower

    V2.3

    Inclusion of the rail to road container transfer yard adjacent to M1 Junction 24A and in memory of the AN-225, a static example in Ukrainian colours is parked outside the DHL facility.

    With grateful thanks to DerAnakonda for his permission to use this aircraft as a static model.

    Please note, for the An-225 to be visible please download and install the AN-225 by DerAnakonda from HERE

    Nice to have this airport. Good work for a freeware! It would be even better if you can fix the aircrafts parked on the grass.

    Superb rendition of EGNX, including the air museum and surroundings. Great job with all your work both the Midlands and Singapore. I am very familiar with both: as I live in Singapore and have family in Derby. My son-in-law flies 737s for Jet2 out of EGNX, and we take my grandsons to the air museum each summer. Thank you FlyBoyRez1.

    Thank you very much for your kind words sir! They are really appreciated!

    Landed there yesterday and it's very useful to be able to taxi correctly on vatsim.
    Is there any chance on having ground markings for some of the stands that are selectable but are missing the ground lines entirely?
    Also for the stands 41 through 45, is there a chance to have proper ground texture and lines since currently the aerial image seems to be what is visible and it is very blurry and hard to see where the stands are.
    Appreciate your work on that airport for those of use who won't but the payware but still want to fly to East Mids :)

    To be honest I never even knew there was an East Midlands scenery pack available for purchase and having looked at the screenshots, it does look very good indeed.
    I think this will probably mark the end of the road for my development of this scenery bar any glaring errors anyone cares to point out.

    Hey, any chance to provide proper installation instructions?
    There are two folders, additionally two dependencies and also I guess(?) we need the base airport from user2292?
    Please add instructions since even after reading (old) comments and the changelog it's unclear what is actually the intended set of addons.
    Thanks for your work, I'll do a try with all of them installed now but a short list of instructions would go a long way :)

    over 2 years ago

    Thanks for the feedback, installation guide added to the top of the description.

    Eh it's alright. There are some changes to the default version, but nothing really to show. Would like it if there were signs to show what gate it is. (there are numbers on the ground, but hard to detect when taxing to gate), but it's okay.

    EDIT: Turns out that I Didn't read discription properly and there were other addons that needed to be added. Looks a lot better now.

    Thanks for the feedback and glad you like it. Always open to suggestions for improvement! :)

    I do not like criticising the hard work of developers who do things for free for the community. However, this add-on really is one of the poorest I have seen. The buildings are dreadful and the add-on does not appear to work with FSLTL. In fact, for the first time in over a year, the aircraft that occupied the "gates" were the default MSFS traffic... horrible.


    There are some truly excellent airports on flightsim.to (eg Gatwick) and many average ones.... This is neither.

    almost 3 years ago

    Thanks for your feedback drmerlin.... it is refreshing that whilst you do not 'like' to criticise you seem to have successfully overcome that block and really let rip on this occasion. Bravo!


    That being said, as you say, this is a Free mod and it was always intended to make what is a bland default airport look just that little bit more realistic for my fellow sim pilots. As it says at the top of the page, it is "An enhancement to the EGNX scenery, brining it more to life...". It has never been intended to be on the same level as the likes of the excellent Gatwick mod which has clearly benefitted from hundreds if not thousands of hours of bespoke model development. The question you need to ask yourself is, does what you see look like my screenshots? If it doesn't then you've not installed it correctly. If it does and you are still so terribly upset at a free download then by all means delete it and move on with your life.


    As for your FSLTL woes my friend, it works for me and many others so quite why your sim is borked is frankly down to you. I've just started the sim, started FSLTL and all of the aircraft at the gates are not MSFS default traffic... in fact it is a veritable hive of activity.


    Best of luck in your development of the hyper realistic EGNX, I look forward to trying it.

    This is amazing, is it possible to have a version without static aircraft?

    almost 3 years ago

    Apart from the two biz jets at the RR hangar or the An-225 at DHL (if you have installed) then all static aircraft are gone.
