I changed for all the 3 versions (Fly-in, Summer, Bad-weather) the MODELLIB file.
I didn't experience any problems, however it seems that a default named MODELLIB file can causes random issues.
To make sure that this will not happen with this scenery I took pre-cautions and changed the Modellib file for all the 3 versions.
I don't want that any of you will get problems with my scenry addons.

===================================
New Version 3.0 available August 20th - 2021. (and probably the last update for the next months)
======================================
In this version you have now 3 different choices as airport.
- Normal busy airport (Summer)
- Bad weather airport (no people etc..
- TEXEL AOPA Fly-In event on August 21st. (very busy with expo, parked planes and tents, etc.)
One of the 3 option you can drag and drop in the community folder and fly the experience.
IMPORTANT!! See changelog and readme first file in zip file with the changes.
Important note: nothing in the Texel AOPA Fly-in scenery is related to the real event.
I also don't have any connection to the real world organisation.
Everything is fiction, however it will give you a nice real world flight experience.
Come fly to Texel in the sim and please walk around with your drone camera.
Some nice details are there and extra parking space is available.
Have fun

The Netherlands VFR enhancement - Texel International Airport [EHTX]
As real as it gets.
Finally!! Texel Airport arrived now also at the scene, after many requests.
Last year I started with creating 2 airports. The first one is Hilversum airport - EHHV (you can find it in Flightsim.to as well) and the second airport is Budel, Kempen Airport - EHBD.
Today it is time for Texel, a beautiful grass airport with lots of history.
For example often they have flight events, airshow with also a F-16 fighter, yes landing on grass. :-)
I hope you like it, enjoy flying in the Dutch skies.
Gerald
Check my TWITCH - About Me and Specs PC/Addons
Extra:
I included also the Lighthouse for Texel. (ok ok...it is not the real one, however with some tweakings it almost look the same.)
The Lighthouse is from the package:
https://nl.flightsim.to/file/1596/lighthouses-wadden-sea-nl
I used one these and changed it and used it for Texel.
Wikipedia:
The airfield is mainly used by small piston engine aircraft, but turboprops such as the Fokker 50 and small jets such as the Cessna Citation can also land at Texel. A lit platform for helicopters is also available. The biggest aircraft ever at Texel Airport was the Fokker 100, the biggest helicopter was a Mil Mi-26.
One of the main activities on Texel Airport is skydiving.
The island itself is a popular tourist destination especially during summer and so a lot of private pilots come to the island for recreation. There is also a small museum showing the history of aviation on the island.
IMPORTANT!
You must download the libraries which are included as additional requirement. (meaning, when you click download this scenery, you will see during the download automatically the required list with libraries and download buttons. If you have already my airfield Hilversum, it maybe possible that you have already the most of them, However please check this list, because 1 or 2 libraries are extra for this airport.
Note: More and more airports downloadable at Flightsim.to are using also the libraries. So it will be useful to have them. (on my pc I don't experience performance issues.)
After Download unzip the package and drag/drop it in your Community folder (from MSFS). And you are good to go.
If you find some things which are missing (check the screenshost), please let me know and I will try to include the right stuff.
Disclaimer:
With this enhancement package my goal is to make the Dutch Airfields more identical to the real thing.
To make this all possible I use existing objects, addons created for Xplane 11.
By using Import converting tool for objects in Blender in combination with an overlay map from google, it is possible to place each object one by one on the right place with the right scale.
After that exported as MSFS 2020 package to the sim and build the package including extra detailed objects, such as lighting, fences, etc.
Basically de converted models are the basic fundaments, the extra details around it make it mor identical and complex. The second part cost the most of my time.
Note:
I have some issues with the building on the the left (twr/hangar building in white), there is a problem with the textures. However I don't want you to wait for that fix so a camouflage it as good as possible for now.
A massive THANK YOU is going out to Nils, better known as LPNils in the Xplane.org envrionment, by giving me permission to let me use his objects from Xplane scenery, which I used for convert and blender into MSFS 2020 objects.
Nils is working at a Flight instruction school and is also big fan of the Flightsimulators. Have a look at Xplane.org and search for LPNils.
Thank you Nils.
Do we really need all those dependencies? I really don't want to have to download like 16 other packages.

Fun to fly in this scenery the airport comes to life, very cool.
Anyone have a clue how to increase the draw distance?
On final (rwy 22) almost at the treshold the airport with all the parked planes start to build up thats very late, I changed the ObjectsLoD to 9.000000 but that doesn't do anything.

Is it an idea to delete the lighthouse in western Texel. There is a good rendering of the Texel lighthouse by MichelVp

Absolutely love it! Just did a flight in the Twin Otter from Rotterdam to Texel to Hilversum and back to Rotterdam and it was so much fun thanks to your fantastic airports, especially Texel!

Good to finally see a rendition of my favorite airport! I've worked there all summer long, flying tourists around and I can't believe I keep finding myself there even in the simulator! So if you have any questions, in case you want to keep working on this scenery, let me know! I'm also well acquainted with the harbour masters (it's what you get if you talk to them on the radio every day) so if you need some really detailed info I'm sure I can help you out
PS: Dat kan allemaal uiteraard ook in het Nederlands

Looks really fantastic. The airshow idea is even better because most airports are presented as there were nobody over there. In reality especially at week end they are quite lively.

Wow, Gerald, this is great! The default airport is pretty awful, but you made it look really good! As I live close to Hilversum, your rendition of EHHV was one of the first addons that I installed. And since I lived on Texel for a couple of years, I was looking forward to an improved version of EHTX. I did run into a serious issue though: your EHTX and EHHV addons seem to interfere with the ground ATC at other airports: after landing on EHOP "Middenmeer", I did not get ground services of EHOP, but EHTX instead, including the option to choose one of the four runways at EHTX. And after landing at EHLE, I could not interact with ground ATC at all. After deleting both EHTX and EHHV, it did work alright again (at EHLE that is, at EHOP, the ground ATC options had disappeared completely, but I think that is an issue with the EHOP addon). Unfortunately, I have no clue whatsoever about the cause, so I can't help you, I just thought I'd report it...

Hmmm, I did some more testing and it does not seem to be caused by your EHTX or EHHV after all. I have no clue what is causing it ( I thought for a moment that it might be triggered by the use of increasing the sim rate, but that was not the case either): also after I removed all addons, I got the issue that ATC would not work properly on the ground (not allowing me to acknowledge, not showing the taxi ribbon, giving option that belonged to the previous airport I landed at, ...)

Hoi, superblij met deze add-on, omdat Texel ons vakantie-eiland is. Enigste wat ik jammer vindt dat het gras bij de terrassen en de opstelplaatsen aan de hoge kant is.
3 years ago
Ja, dat is een MSFS scenery editor probleem. Ik kan het weghalen, maar dan zie je een plat kaal oppervlak wat groen is.
Ik hoop dat er een "gazon" versie van gras komt, oftewel kort levendig gras.
Dit zou ook handig zijn voor de gras aprons. Technisch gezien selecteer je in de SDK Runway gras oppervlak voor een apron of een polygon, maar dan nog komt er hoog gras. Wat vreemd is omdat je juist op een runway kort gras verwacht. Na SU5 is dat gras met name weer hoog geworden. Om dan toch het nodige aan gras in te korten, moet je met de kleur optie in de editor werken. Maar ook hier weer, pas als je meer geel/bruin toevoegd qua kleur verdwijnt er meer gras e/o wordt korter. Maar dan is het dus niet mooi groen kort gras. Dus je begrijpt het is nog even hangen en wurgen met de SDK. Ander optie? Ja hoor. Er zijn ook kort gras strings zoals ze door ORBX bijv toegepast worden in Xplane en P3D, maar dat wil ik niet meer gebruiken in MSFS.
