FSX / P3D scenery

FSX Ramstein Airbase Scenery

Ramstein Airbase (ETAR) brings Germany’s key NATO hub to life with detailed runway and apron layout, military-style generic buildings, and custom ambient sound effects that shift between day and night for richer immersion in Microsoft Flight Simulator X. It requires the fsx_lts, has_lib, and asr9_fsx object libraries.

Ramstein Airbase (ETAR), Germany. By Nils Besemer.

Installation:

1. Copy the Addon Scenery, Sound and Effects folder into your main FSX directory.

2. Download the following libraries from Avsim.com if you don't already have them:

fsx_lts.zip
has_lib.zip
asr9_fsx.zip

by Jim Dhaenens!

Copy the BGLs of the libraries into your "FSX\scenery\global\scenery" folder and the textures in your "FSX\scenery\global\texture" folder.

3. start FSX and add the RamsteinAB directory to your scenery library.

Uninstalling:

Remove the RamsteinAB directory from your scenery library and delete it from your HD. I made diffrent sound effects for day and night. All sound and effect files containing "ETAR" in their names so you can easily find and modify/delete them.

I'm not a modeler so i used generic buildings, FSX Library objects and the great freeware libraries by Jim Dhaenens. I also had no charts so my scenery isn't perfect and i used it to learn and to test a few things. That's why i release it as public domain so you can easily improve and upload it.

Many thanks to Jim for his excellent work! Also a big thanks to Joe Watson for sharing his knowledge about sound effects. And a big thanks to those who made the tools/instructions listed below.

I hope you like it. Tested with FSX+XPack+UTX Europe+FSGenesis Mesh+AI Traffic, under Vista64 (DX9 and DX10). Use at your own risk..

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.
