FSX NL2000 V4.0 De Peel Air Base Scenery

This comprehensive freeware scenery package brings an accurate representation of EHDP De Peel Air Base into FSX as part of the wider NL2000 V4 collection. It focuses on offering a detailed layout of the military airfield in the southeastern part of the Netherlands, showcasing the facility’s structure and terrain features for a highly authentic simulation experience. The Netherlands 2000 Scenery Design Team (the authors behind this project) ensures that every object and texture is meticulously placed, resulting in a visually compelling environment for flight sim enthusiasts. Compatibility with the modular NL2000 V4 installer is required, though it maintains a user-friendly approach to ensure reliable performance and integration with other NL2000 packages.

Key Technical Details

This module carefully recreates De Peel Air Base, also known by its ICAO code EHDP, through high-resolution ground textures and accurately placed models. Designers used real-world references where possible, giving the air station a lifelike layout and realistic proportions. Furthermore, the package includes ground polygons that match the existing taxiways, runways, and apron areas, offering operators of virtual aircraft an immersive environment for both military operations and general aviation training.

Highlighted Enhancements

• Photoreal Textures: Incorporates satellite imagery to generate realistic landscape details.
• Custom Objects: Integrates 3D structures such as hangars, towers, and support buildings with reliable precision.
• Static Elements: Placed in key locations to replicate the working environment of a Royal Netherlands Air Force base.
• Refined Lighting: Adds dynamic effects during low-visibility or nighttime operations for enhanced realism.

Installation Requirements

As with other scenery in the NL2000 V4 series, this package relies on the NL2000 v4 installer to correctly integrate all elements. Users only need to select the appropriate module during the installation process for a seamless setup, provided the base NL2000 framework is already present in the simulator. Once installed, the scenery will automatically configure its files and place De Peel accurately within the existing NL2000 environment.

The Modular NL2000 Approach

The Netherlands 2000 Scenery Design Team engineered each location package as an individual component, allowing sim pilots to include only the regions that interest them. De Peel Air Base works in harmony with other modules that cover expansive areas of the Netherlands. The team’s approach maximizes performance and permits tailored installations, so the community can build everything from small local airstrips to large airports across the country.

Added Realism for FSX Pilots

By incorporating this air base into FSX, virtual aviators can operate within a setting that mirrors the actual military facility’s layout. The design includes runways, taxi routes, and support structures essential for typical air force activities. Pilots looking to practice military-style circuits, explore approach patterns, or conduct training flights in the Netherlands will find that this scenery delivers clarity and reliability.

Developers and Acknowledgments

This entire add-on was devised, produced, and distributed by The Netherlands 2000 Scenery Design Team, who have dedicated substantial effort to ensure fidelity and functionality. Their commitment to delivering modular add-ons for the Netherlands has greatly enriched the FSX community. As a fully freeware release, simmers worldwide can benefit from precise rendering of the De Peel area with no additional costs.
