FSX NL2000 V4.02 Maastricht Aachen Airport Scenery

This comprehensive package brings an updated rendition of Maastricht Aachen Airport (EHBK) into Microsoft Flight Simulator X. It seamlessly integrates into the broader NL2000 v4 environment, delivering finely tuned ground textures, region-specific buildings, and meticulously placed support facilities. Enthusiasts of detailed aerial navigation will appreciate the attention given to runway placement and taxiway markings, reflecting the actual layout found at this important Dutch airport near the Belgian border.

Dedicated Enhancements for EHBK

By incorporating real-world references, this add-on offers a precise alignment of ramps, aprons, and parking stands. Flight crews can expect improved loading zones for the airport’s cargo operations, as Maastricht Aachen Airport is recognized for facilitating freight transport in addition to handling passenger flights. Designers from The Netherlands 2000 Scenery Design Team applied extensive research to ensure that everything from the control tower to the terminal façade receives accurate representation.

Seamless Fit with NL2000 v4 Modules

This scenery merges effortlessly with the modular framework of the Netherlands 2000 Series. In order to run it, an installation of NL2000 v4.0.20 is essential. Once deployed, this package provides photoreal imagery of the surrounding Limburg region, adding authenticity to every approach and departure. VFR pilots will find the bordering terrain noticeably refined, while IFR traffic will benefit from enhanced navaids and illuminated guidance systems for night operations.
