Expert Overview

MSFS Oostwold Airport (EHOW) Scenery offers a thoughtfully recreated airfield near Winschoten in the Groningen region of the Netherlands, featuring precise runway markings, authentic barriers, and life-like lighting fixtures. This freeware mod captures the airport’s single grass runway along with custom 3D objects, roundabouts, roads, and an updated apron that brings the environment closer to its real-world counterpart. Despite being in an early beta stage, the developer, Ruben, continues to refine the scenery with future updates.

Having tested it extensively, I can attest that the level of detail—from the newly built hangar to the carefully placed grass stone lines—adds an immersive layer of realism to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. Key highlights include accurately placed airport signage, practical fuel parking, and more realistic taxiways designed based on the actual layout. If you’re looking to expand your virtual flying experiences, this mod provides a refreshingly authentic regional airport that’s already a delight to explore.

The developer's quote;

This is a little airport created by myself. The airport is close to the town Windschoten located at Groningen in the Netherlands. This airport has one grass runway and two taxiways. I created all of the 3D objects in Blender and exported them to FS2020. This airport is a freeware creation.
