AFCAD For EHBK

Discover an updated airport ground layout that refines the representation of Maastricht Airport (EHBK) within the southern region of the Netherlands. This add-on, created by Joost de Wit, introduces a meticulously revised AFCAD for enhanced accuracy in Microsoft Flight Simulator X—and may work with diverse service packs. Below, you will find details, technical highlights, and installation instructions for smooth integration into your simulator.

Refined Layout for Maastricht Airport

Maastricht Airport, also called Maastricht Aachen Airport, is situated near the Belgian and German borders, enabling cross-border travel with ease. It hosts both passenger and cargo operations, while occasionally receiving charter flights. By installing this custom AFCAD (short for “Airport Facilities and Data” file), operators can benefit from enhanced gate assignments and improved taxiway pathing. The developer employed Airport Design Editor (ADE) to add precise runway markings, updated approach data, and realistic apron layouts.

Key Features and Compatibility

• Runway Alignments: Updated positioning of runway 03/21, improving realism during landings and takeoffs.
• Parking Overhaul: Accurate aircraft stands and gates, including cargo ramps for operators supporting freight operations.
• Taxiway Nuances: Precise taxi paths and correct naming conventions aid in smoother ground movements.
• Verified in FSX: Intended for Microsoft Flight Simulator X, tested in SP1 (though it may operate correctly in SP2).

How to Integrate into Your Flight Simulator

1. Locate the .bgl file and place it in your “FSX/Addon Scenery/Scenery” folder.
2. Ensure that “Addon Scenery” is active in your simulator’s scenery library.

Optional Removal Process

1. Delete the .bgl file from the “FSX/Addon Scenery/Scenery” folder.
