Ray Smith presents a layout adjustment for EGLL that uses the EGLL_ADE_RS.BGL file to replace the default configuration, demolish Terminal 2, add Pier 6, and update taxiways and parking with gates compatible for an A380.

Two ADE BGL variants shape the airport, including FACT_ADE_RS.BGL for standard operations and FACT_ADE_CW_RS.BGL that enables crosswind use of Runway 16/34. FACT_ADE_CVX.BGL removes autogen in the Heli, Excujet, and Thunder City ramp areas, FACT_ADE_OBJ.BGL adds placement data for custom objects around the airport, and two jetway image files, jfk_jetway.dds and jfk_jetway_LM.dds, populate the global area.

At Hulhule Island in the Maldives, the airport gains 11 gates and 4 GA ramps to improve traffic flow. Two water-runways appear, supported by file names AIG_VRMM_ADE_KPK_Default.BGL, AIG_VRMM_ADE_KPK_Default_CVX.BGL, and AIG_VRMM_KPK_Default_CVX1.bgl, with ADE by Jon Masterson.

Ray Smith delivers a four-file package for Helsinki-Vantaa, including EFHK_RS.BGL and EFHK_CW_RS.BGL that govern runway usage, plus EFHK_CVX.BGL and EFHK_OBJ.BGL for terrain shaping and realism. The crosswind variant enables all three runways for concurrent operations, while the standard option preserves expanded parking and improved markings.

KIAD Washington Dulles in the Washington, DC area now features a newly added runway and corrected numbers after magnetic polar shift, yielding four active runways. Created by J. D. Starseed, the adjustment mirrors the layout and ensures consistency for regional operations.

Stevens Anchorage International Airport in Alaska gains two runway-operation options, including one with a crosswind setup that uses all three runways, and a default configuration. Four BGL files accompany the package—PANC_ADE_RS.BGL, PANC_ADE_CW_RS.BGL, PANC_ADE_CVX.BGL and PANC_ADE_OBJ.BGL—defining the respective runways and airport objects.

Ray Smith uses ADE to tailor Nice Côte d’Azur (LFMN) on the Mediterranean coast, and delivers two BGL files: LFMN_ADE_RS.BGL and LFMN_ADE_OBJ.BGL. RS refines airport layout, expands parking, and assigns gates, while OBJ adds additional objects at a global level to improve realism.

Two optional runway configurations apply to CYVR for the default airport, with CYVR_CW_RS.BGL activating crosswind operation so all four runways are used, and CYVR_RS.BGL preserving the standard layout with assigned parking. Four BGL files are CYVR_RS.BGL, CYVR_CW_RS.BGL, CYVR_CVX.BGL, and CYVR_OBJ.BGL.

Two runway configurations govern Melbourne YMML, with a crosswind-enabled Runway 9/27 option and a standard layout, while gates accommodate aircraft up to the Airbus A380 and a new control tower adds realism. Three BGL files implement the changes: YMML_ADE_RS.BGL, YMML_ADE_CW_RS.BGL, and YMML_ADE_OBJ.BGL, with the OBJ file updating jetways and apron objects.

Two variant configurations exist for LLBG, including crosswind and standard layouts, reflecting the airport's real-world runway and terminal changes. Files include AIG_LLBG_CW_ADEX_MB_Default.BGL and AIG_LLBG_CW_ADEX_MB_Default_CVX.BGL, or AIG_LLBG_ADEX_MB_Default.BGL and AIG_LLBG_ADEX_MB_Default_CVX.BGL, with ADE by Jon Masterson credited and Jeppesen-chart-aligned layouts.

San Francisco International Airport in California features KSFO_KA.bgl and KSFO_KA_OBJ.BGL that modify the stock KSFO, by Kambiz Agazi. Version 2 updates SID/DP waypoints and all approaches per plates, including a SIM CLOSE PAR ILS for 28L, and links 28L/28R with 1L/1R and 10L/10R with 19L/19R.

Three BGL files, LIPZ_RS.BGL, LIPZ_CVX.bgl, and LIPZ_OBJ.bgl, align Tessera International Airport at LIPZ with a corrected runway 04R ILS/Loc frequency of 109.95, while taxiway updates and support-vehicle roads improve navigation. Optional jetway visuals, including jfk_jetway.dds and jfk_jetway_LM.dds, accompany the set by Ray Smith.

Ray Smith delivers three .BGL files for KMIA that update runways, parking, and taxiways, including KMIA_ADE_RS.BGL for the default layout, KMIA_ADE_CW_RS.BGL that enables a crosswind configuration with four active strips, and KMIA_ADE_OBJ.BGL for additional objects.

The Jacksonville International addition by Alpha India Group marks the tenth round and updates the Florida airport layout as it models new terminal buildings with FSDS and adds two cargo ramps for UPS, FedEx, and DHL aircraft; Gates A1-A10 and C1-C10 appear accurately, while Concourse B remains absent.

Alpha India Group’s tenth airport modification for Owen Roberts International replaces MWCR_AF1 with the file AIG_MWCR_ADEX_MB_LatinVFR.bgl. It adds GA parking and cargo parking for IBC Airways on the GA apron and maintenance hangar parking for Cayman Airways and executive jets, aligns main apron spots to the parking center line, and tunes taxiways to reduce delays.
Ray Smith creates a refined Hamburg Airport layout for the simulator, delivered as three BGL files named EDDH_ADE_RS.BGL, EDDH_ADE_CW_RS.BGL, and EDDH_ADE_OBJ.BGL. The RS version mirrors the default main-strip runway usage, while the CW_RS activates crosswind operations with shared runways, and the OBJ file supplies object data to complete the new layout.

Frankfurt-Hahn Airport in Germany receives ADE-based edits by Alpha-India Group, produced with ADE V1.38.04, and comprises three BGLs named AIG_EDFH_ADE_MB_Default.BGL, AIG_EDFH_ADE_MB_Default_CVX.BGL, and AIG_EDFH_ADE_MB_Default_OBJ.BGL. The modification realigns taxiway A, extends Runway 03-21, adds gates, cargo and GA parking, creates autogen exclusions, and applies a lanclass to adjust perimeter visuals.

KDTW V1 extends the McNamara Terminal by enlarging the B and C concourses and replaces the Berry and Smith terminals with the North Terminal. It adds new offset ILSs I-ALA and I-BZB to runways 04L/22R and updates taxiway layout and signage per June 2011 diagrams.

Two variants exist for Portland International Airport, with crosswind runways activated in the CW option and a non-crosswind version available. Crosswind files include AIG_KPDX_CW_ADE_KTC_Default and AIG_KPDX_CW_ADE_KTC_Default_CVX, while the standard option uses AIG_KPDX_ADE_KTC_Default, and two heliports are added.

Ray Smith teams with ADE to offer two runway operation variants for Philadelphia International Airport, featuring KPHL_ADE_CW_RS.BGL for crosswind use and KPHL_ADE_RS.BGL for default flow. An accompanying KPHL_ADE_OBJ.BGL places ramp lights, vehicles, and other details to simulate daily operations across the significant East Coast gateway, and the files remain freeware.
