FS2004 AFCAD2 File For LSGY

This refined AFCAD2 release updates the airfield at LSGY in Yverdon, Switzerland for usage with the corresponding CH04-GY.ZIP environment. Designed by Daniel Perret, this specialized file integrates smoothly with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 to deliver accurate ramp positions, taxiway alignments, and detailed airport elements. It reflects close collaboration with Daniel Gauthier—renowned for his outstanding Swiss scenery enhancements—and relies on Lee Swordy’s powerful AFCAD2 software.

Enhanced Airfield Configuration for Realistic Operations

The Yverdon complex, situated in the canton of Vaud near Lake Neuchâtel, benefits from this meticulous layout which ensures optimal navigation. Its aprons, runways, and ground markings align with real-world dimensions to immerse virtual pilots in the authentic Swiss flying experience. Aircraft parking coordinates match known stands, ensuring that traffic flows properly in both offline and AI-controlled scenarios.

Key Technical Adjustments

• Corrected Gates and Stands: Parking spots have been repositioned to match local airfield design.
• Taxiway Alignments: Pathways reflect precise corners and widths for improved taxi realism.
• Approach Path Refinements: Ensures smooth transitions during final approach when flying in or out of the Vaud region.

Collaborative Development Insights

Thanks are extended to Daniel Gauthier for his remarkable Swiss airfield landscapes, which served as a template for exact integration. Lee Swordy’s AFCAD2 utility also proves indispensable for its advanced capability in refining airport data. The combined effort results in a seamless merge of Yverdon’s aesthetic details with precise technical design.

Installation Procedure

For immediate activation, place the included BGL file into the “Addon Scenery/Scenery” folder of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004.
