The city of Dortmund, also known as the metropolis in the Ruhr area, is located in the heart of the Ruhr area. Dortmund is known above all for its good beers, but also and above all for the good football that is played here. What is meant is of course Borussia Dortmund BVB09. It is very likely that this is why the Microsoft Flight Simulator development team included the Signal Iduna Park in the MSFS. In addition to Dortmund Airport, the entire city with its buildings that shape the cityscape is included. There is also the Hengsen-Opherdicke airfield close to the airport for fans of small sports machines and grass runways. Helicopter pilots have also been thought of, and so there is a helipad at the accident clinic North.

Notes and special features
In reality, a so-called push-in procedure takes place at Gates 5-12, the aircraft are parked backwards. This special feature of the airport is not included in this DLC. The heliport has the fictional ICAO code EDKZN and an added parking position allows the helipad to be selected directly via the MSFS selection menu.
