    KBWI - Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport - Image 1

    Description

    This should be a complete KBWI airport replacement. I am happy with the current state of the project and have moved to full version releases.

    KNOWN ISSUES

    If not using Navigraph data, SIDs and STARs for RWY 15R/33L are missing as are the ILS / RNAV approaches. This cannot be fixed until Asobo fixes their underlying (horrible) airport.

    If using Navigraph data, you will have all the proper SIDs STARs and approaches. However you MUST ensure that the navigraph package is located BELOW the KBWI package in your content.xml file. This is located at %AppData%\Microsoft Flight Simulator\content.xml

    SU9 UPDATE

    In SU9 Asobo added the fs-base-genericairports package. By default this seemed to be inserted AFTER the KBWI entry. You must manually go back and move it BEFORE the KBWI entry. This will fix missing SIDs / STARs with and without navigraph.

    BIG THANKS to Srinivasman Studios for building out a custom terminal building. Make sure to check out their other work!

    Version History
    Alpha 0.1.1: All taxiway surfaces should be current. Some taxiway edges will not be properly aligned yet. Added lines for parking spaces.

    Alpha 0.1.2: Parking space lines added, only ground lines left to add are vehicle markings. Noted bug where STARs don't work with 33L/15R... need to investigate

    Alpha 0.1.3: Parking spaces should be proper size and aligned. Also added the parking spaces for the Terminal E expansion... right now the jetways are just hanging out in the midle of nowhere. This will be fixed in the Beta when the terminal is added. Added more ground lines for vehicles.

    Beta 0.2.0: All parking is added and accurate except the Terminal A extension and the South Cargo area extension. All jetways are added and properly located (except the terminal A extension). Lights are added. Custom terminal building added courtesy of Srinivasman Studios.

    Beta 0.2.1: Updated some parking spaces, aligned some of the ground polys / lines. ILS should all be fixed and functional, if there is a problem please let me know!!!

    Beta 0.2.2: ILS should actually be fixed, I have verified this in LNM with and without Navigraph installed. Once again, if there is still an issue please let me know. Applied the fix for modelLib issues.

    Beta 0.2.3: Taxiway lights should be fully accurate now, both the edge and the centerline lights. If you see anything off please let me know. Actually updated version number in manifest. The addon should now be in very good shape. I am waiting for some updated imagery to add taxiway T2 and ensure the terminal A extension is proper. Also need to finish the south cargo area and find some generic warehouse building model.

    Beta 0.2.4: Added buildings to the South cargo ramp. Added gates for the terminal A expansion. Added a few hangars and a better building in the GA area. Started adjusting height of ramp lights to be more accurate.

    Version 1.0.0: An update to patch a bug introduced in Sim Update V where SIDs / STARs disappeared. I am happy with where the scenery stands now. I will keep the airport updated as major construction projects are complete at the airport and sim updates continue to break things.

    Severe bump on 15R, almost crashed while taking off. Otherwise it's a decent addon.

    I installed this because I wanted the missing runway, which as of early 2024 Asobo still has not fixed. The installation steps regarding content.xml were not necessary. I do have Navigraph, and this add-on worked just by copying to the Community folder.

    Is there any way you can revisit this mod and check out the runway/taxi lightning? I flew into this airport this morning and found that the runway/taxi lights were floating around 10 to 20 feet above the ground. This made the landing a bit hairy and long when landing at night.

    It could be your graphics settings, if the object level of detail was below 80 the runway lights would float

    There are is ground crew, or aircraft. The airport looks like it is in the middle of nowhere, not between busy cities (Baltimore and Washington, etc.).

    How has Microsoft not updated this airport yet, actually kinda frustrating its been 2 years and nothing. This airport is way to popular to go unnoticed.


    Thanks for making this addon. At least you're doing your part!

    Well...among other ~50.000 airports and at least 1000+ prominent, popular, unique and/or legendary among them, I think the guys are doing an excellent job. Like, come on man, give them credit instead.

    I just downloaded and installed your KBWI v1.0.0 and noted that your manifest still has version 0.2.4.

    Where do I downloaded this package to please? This is the first time using MSFS for adding new scenery. Thank you, Ryan

    I must be extra dense today. Trying to figure out where I can find content.xml file. I see no .xml files in the KBWI package itself. Where can I find this file so I can make the required changes? Thank you in advance!

    Similar state as you and I had to Google it, but found:


    Sim from Marketplace:

    %localAppData%\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache

    Sim from Steam:

    %appData%\Microsoft Flight Simulator

    Airport seemed while modeled, but while taxiing around (North area on Quebec) the airport was unreasonably hilly.
