FS2004 AFCAD2 File For LSMP

This freeware enhancement offers a refined AFCAD2 configuration for Payerne Airport (LSMP) in Switzerland. It adjusts parking layouts, corrects runway positioning, and adds realistic details to ensure a more immersive environment in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004. Originally crafted by Daniel Gauthier, this updated version by Jacky Brouze fine-tunes many aspects of the air base for both military and civil traffic.

Improved Airfield Configuration

Located in western Switzerland, Payerne Airport plays an important role for the Swiss Air Force and occasionally hosts civilian operations. This AFCAD2 update enhances taxiway geometry, improves navigation aids, and aligns gate assignments with the real-world layout. It also refines ramp spacing, ensuring that AI-controlled aircraft can maneuver safely without overlapping.

Key Elements in This Package

• Accurate Gate Assignments: Places military and civilian aircraft in appropriate areas of the airport.
• Enhanced Taxiway Alignment: Adjusts curvature and width to reflect real-world documentation, optimizing ground handling.
• Refined Parking Spots: Increases realistic density of ramp spaces to better handle high volumes of air traffic.
• Improved Runway Markings: Correctly positions runway thresholds and centerline markings for precise landings.

Installation Process

To incorporate this upgrade into your simulation environment, place the provided BGL file inside your “AddOn Scenery\Scenery” folder. Once the file is copied there, restart the simulator to allow FS2004 to register all changes.
