FSX NL2000 V4.02 Lelystad Airport Scenery

This add-on enhances Microsoft Flight Simulator X with a finely detailed rendition of Lelystad Airport (EHLE) in Flevoland, the Netherlands. It is part of the expansive and completely free NL2000 v4.02 scenery series, created by The Netherlands 2000 Scenery Design Team. This modular package integrates seamlessly into the larger NL2000 environment and requires the NL2000 v4.0.20 installer, ensuring proper setup and functionality throughout the sim world.

Detailed Modeling of Lelystad Airport

Lelystad Airport, originally established to accommodate growing general aviation traffic in central Netherlands, plays a key role in private pilot training and light aircraft operations. The developers meticulously replicated the layout of taxiways, runways, and aprons, incorporating accurate ground markings and lighting. In addition, key structures—such as hangars, control towers, and terminal spaces—are included to reflect real-world architecture.

Seamless Modular Scenery Integration

This release utilizes the modular principle of NL2000 v4, allowing simmers to build a customized scenery library. By only selecting specific airports or regions of interest, performance can be optimized across various PC configurations. Thanks to this modular design, each area, including EHLE, uses high-resolution textures matched to real-world geospatial data. The resulting experience serves both VFR and IFR flyers.

Focus on Realistic Surroundings

The design team applied special attention to the surrounding landscape, reflecting the reclaimed land of Flevoland. The fields, highways, and other infrastructure are represented with precise photo imagery, enhancing flights in every phase—from departure through approach. Whether flying a small trainer or touring in a twin-engine aircraft, you will notice carefully placed landmarks across the region.

Compatibility with Existing NL2000 Packages

If you already use NL2000 scenery modules, integrating Lelystad Airport complements other known Dutch airfields—like Schiphol and Rotterdam—and completes broader routes. Each airfield in the suite receives a similarly high level of detail, meaning essential navigational aids, radio frequencies, and approach procedures align with the real airport data.

Aircraft Operations and Installation Notes

Since Lelystad primarily serves general aviation, sim pilots can practice circuit flying and short cross-country hops here. However, helicopter enthusiasts will also find ample space for rotorcraft maneuvers. To get started, download this specific EHLE package, confirm NL2000 v4.0.20 is present, then install through the provided configuration tool. This step ensures the add-on meshes properly with other NL2000 segments.
