AFX File For KOMA

This freeware add-on refines KOMA (Omaha Eppley Airfield) in Nebraska with accurate parking assignments, accommodating both passenger carriers and cargo operators. It was developed by Steve Lewis, ensuring users of Microsoft Flight Simulator X can enjoy an authentic airport layout that aligns with real-world airline patterns.

KOMA Airport Enhancement with Comprehensive Parking Spots

This update meticulously reflects the operations and terminal arrangements found at Omaha Eppley Airfield, which serves as a key airport gateway in eastern Nebraska. Notably located near the Missouri River, it caters to numerous commercial airlines and cargo flights. With this modification, every gate and cargo ramp closely matches the airport’s genuine layout, offering enhanced realism for virtual pilots.

Development Tools and Reference Data

Steve Lewis crafted this AFCAD using Airport Design Editor (ADE) version 1.05 from Scruffyduck Software. The configuration draws from official airport resources, satellite imagery, and live flight tracking data, all combined to present an up-to-date depiction of KOMA’s apron alignments, gate assignments, and overall operational flow. These references also confirm that airline operators ranging from regional services to larger trunk carriers are correctly positioned.

Realistic Airline Allocation Across Terminals

Each airline, including passenger and cargo operators, is precisely represented so that AI traffic will proceed to the correct locations. This level of detail means popular carriers such as regional commuter lines and major cargo companies will taxi straight to their proper stands, replicating what is seen day-to-day at Omaha Eppley Airfield.

Parking Radii Standards and AI Transfer Considerations

Radii values follow the guidelines established by ProjectAI for FS9—often referred to as Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004. These dimensions remain unchanged for those who have migrated AI traffic from FS9 into Microsoft Flight Simulator X, ensuring stable operations. Nevertheless, users employing third-party commercial AI traffic solutions should verify any distinct radii configurations to confirm compatibility. It should be noted that many FSX AFCADs adopt smaller parking parameters, but this design retains the original FS9-based radius system for consistency.

Easy Installation Instructions

To install, simply drop the provided file into your Addon Scenery/Scenery directory within your FSX root folder. The simulator will automatically update its scenery database on launch, making KOMA’s enhanced layout available right away.
