FSX Stuttgart Airport Scenery v2

Airport EDDS Stuttgart / Germany. The gates have gate signs to show the number of the gate and gates and parking positions has ground painted taxiway signs for better orientation.

​The VOR DME Stuttgart STG 116,85 is added. I was not able to remove the old VOR Stuttgart SGD 115,45 because this is part of the FSX database which I cannot change.

​This is a puristic, frame rate friendly scenery. Especially the coordinates of gates and parking 09 -36, 40 - 57 and the taxiways are with high accuracy.

The gates 09 -19 have gate signs to show the number of the gate and the positions 08 -73 have ground painted taxiway signs for better orientation.

I have made a simple Gmax model to show something similar to the real Terminals 1-3. It is my first building so it is very simple. I hope it is good enough, to give you an impression of the real building. For all the other buildings I have taken some buildings from the FSX library.

The VOR DME Stuttgart STG 116,85 is added. I was not able to remove the old not longer existing VOR Stuttgart SGD 115,45 because this is part of the FSX database which I cannot change.

Installation

This is complete scenery, previous version not needed.

1. unzip the contents of the zip file to a temporary folder.
2. Copy and paste the folder EDDS_V2 and its sub folders to FSX/Addon Scenery
3. Open the scenery library and add the folder EDDS_V2 and set it active.
4. uncheck all other scenery folders with EDDS scenery.

AI-Traffic

I have made this scenery for my own purpose and that is flying online with IVAO or VATSIM. So I don't need AI traffic. That is why I have not taken care of this function and I cannot say if and how it is working in that scenery.

Hints:

To get a better viewing angle out of my cockpit I have changed the file FSX.cfg. If you change this parameter you have a wider angle of view which makes orientation on the ground much easier.

In the section for the DISPLAY parameters, I have set the parameter for wide view to true. You can change this only in the FSX.cfg itself.

Please make a copy of the FSX.cfg before changing it.

The place where the FSX.cfg is stored depends on the OS it is different if you have XP or Vista. If you are not so familiar with the FSX.cfg please don´t touch it.

Changes to Version V1

I have corrected some taxiway signs and added apron lighting to the aprons. Made some new Buildings, reworked airport background, jetways are now moving.

Known Issues

One user reported that he has are large areas of white where the aircraft wheels disappear instead of the round shine of the apron lights. I was not able to analyse why he has this problem but I presume that this is because this user has DX9 on his system.
If you have this problem please remove from folder scenery the file Placement_Lights.bgl.
