This freeware scenery expansion brings a detailed rendition of Oostwold Airport (EHOW) to Flight Simulator X users. It integrates seamlessly with the modular NL2000 series while showcasing the unique environment and layout of this small airfield in the northeastern region of the Netherlands. Created by The Netherlands 2000 Scenery Design Team, this package requires the NL2000 v4.0.32 installer for activation and works in conjunction with the broader NL2000 v4 collection.

Distinctive Aspects of EHOW

Oostwold Airport, characterized by its compact runway and rural surroundings, offers a different flying experience for virtual pilots accustomed to larger international hubs. This scenery focuses on reproducing the airfield’s terminal structures, hangars, and ground textures, all accurately placed to reflect real-world positioning. Pilots can expect lifelike markings on aprons, enhanced taxiway signage, and custom 3D objects representing airport facilities.

Key Technical Highlights

  • Accurate Runway and Lighting: The runway length and lighting details have been recreated for enhanced realism, ensuring proper guidance during takeoffs and landings.
  • Custom Structures: The design team integrated authentic hangar models and local buildings, representing real-world architectural nuances.
  • Blended Terrain: Ground textures integrate naturally with the surrounding landscape, providing a smooth transition between airport paths and nearby fields.
  • Optimized Frames: This standalone Oostwold package is optimized for performance within FSX, contributing to fluid framerates when combined with other NL2000 content.

Installation Essentials

To ensure proper functionality, you will need the NL2000 v4.0.32 installer, which recognizes and updates each of the modular scenery packs, including this Oostwold Airport addon. Once the main NL2000 framework is established, activate the EHOW package to seamlessly integrate this upgraded airport into your flight simulator world.

How to install this mod

FSX / P3D scenery
  1. Extract the downloaded archive

    Use 7-Zip (free) or WinRAR to extract the ZIP to a temporary folder. Don't install while still zipped — the simulator can't read inside ZIP files.
  2. Place scenery in Addon Scenery

    Create a folder under FSX\Addon Scenery\ containing scenery and texture sub-folders.
  3. Activate in Scenery Library

    In FSX, go to Settings → Scenery Library → Add Area. Higher priority means it overrides lower entries for the same location.
  4. Always read the included readme

    Every mod ships with a readme.txt or README file. It tells you exactly where files go, what dependencies are needed, and any quirks specific to this add-on.
