Made it work with WU13!
If you have Real Taxiways Europe or Navigraph or bijan trees* make sure to exclude their version of BGBW, especially the real taxiways one, you only have to remove the single file that effects, not the whole installation.
It's a pretty important airport for transatlantic crossing in small aircraft, and if you get into FSEconomy or other career sims you will probably end up here at some point moving a GA plane from Europe to North America or back. This is one of the most important airports not included in the stock simulator scenery.
Key Features:
Accurate runway and airport that doesn't exist in the stock simulator, including precise runway slope and lighting system
Custom built terminal and hangar buildings
Hand painted Apron and air-side facilities
Terraforming and terrain fixing of the glacial river adjacent the airport
Fixing stock urban issues, especially around the harbour and including various boats and wildlife
POIs for the 5 small towns this airport serves
Updated to 1.5
-recompiled with 0.21.1.0, cleaned up night lighting and stock artifacts
Updated to 1.4
- recompiled in SDK 0.16.0
- removed the windsocks from the runway
- added and repositioned some features
Updated to 1.3
- fixed spelling of NarsaRsuaq (facepalm)
- fixed colouring of letters/trim
- added night lighting to the terminal model
- learned to love and hate blender
- removed stock beacon tower, placed beacon on top of control tower as per the real world
Updated to 1.2.1
- removed the vast majority of lake fixes as they are no longer required (2 had to be kept near waterfalls)
- cleaning up the glacial river by the airport
- recompiled in SDK 0.10.0
*in the screenshots is the list of things I force deleted in the install to try to get it to work with Navigraph*
- made PARKING 4 available with all services (fuel, catering, etc) for larger traffic
Updated to 1.2 (January 11)
- rework terminal for better height, better colour and small details, full credit to Trille12321!!
- added fuel trucks and vehicle paths
- added custom apron markings and taxiway markings
- added POI towns in the area (5 total)
- flattened a further 100 terrain glitches, now over 600
- clean up the mountain to the southeast of the field (the entire road network is shifted incorrectly about 200m to the southwest. Except for the road itself, it is cleaned up)
- took down the christmas lights
- reordered the readme to read latest updates first
Updated to 1.1 to work with 1.12.13.0 (VR update)
- scaled the terminal slightly, ground crew don't need to duck to get in the front door anymore
- smoothed out a number of items around the apron
- recompiled with sdk 0.9.0.0
- christmas surprise at night
Updated to 1.0 to work with the latest version 1.1.1.7 as of mid December
- COMBINED trille12321's absolutely fantastic terminal building and 2 main hangars (removed all stock buildings from the terminal, its now fully custom!!).
- added about 150 more lake flattens, the total is now over 500
- added local ground textures reflecting the old runway and some access roads
- cleaned the glaciers and white textured lakes to make it the river flowing out of the glacier
- removed some trees, there are far too many trees versus reality
- added Narsaq POI (the main town of almost 1350 people)
Updated to 0.5 to work with 1.0.1.7 or whatever we are on as of late October.
- removed trees at the shoreline, it should only be rocks
- added rocks at the shoreline, there should be no trees
- changed stock buildings to closer reflect the dock in the harbour
- added boats from the entrance to the fjord to the airport fishing in the area (helps to confirm you are going down the right fjord)
- recompiled to work with the latest version, moved the camera focus point to under ground (it was visible with the latest update)
Version 0.1
-added the airport, apron, harbour.-replaced the autogen hangars with ones closer to photos, the terminal is made of stock parts.
-terraformed the area around the hangars and terminal, the ramp was at 45 degrees
-flattened the closest floating lakes along the cliffs of the fjords you navigate through on the approach, I got all the ones I could see within about 30nm, about 400 lakes
-cleaned up near the town of Narsaq which is on the coast as you enter the fjord toward the airport.
-gave the runway its precise 1.68% slope, the threshold of 06 is at 11ft and its 112ft at 24, that was the biggest deal beyond the airport not existing, also added the double papi-4 for 06 and the runway matches perfectly with foreflight and other moving map solutions
-gave the airport a star so its easy to find
things to do?
get better satellite imagery underneath
import the RNAV approaches (getting closer)

Edit: oh from reading other comments I guess it might be navigraph data but there doesn't seem to be a way to fix this. Weird as I've never seen another airport conflict with navigraph data.

How do you exclude Navigraph's version? Do you mean their navdata?
11 months ago
You may need to go into the navigraph folder and find maybe a bgbw.bgl? You will need to remove or disable whatever file has the information for the airport. I don't have navigraph, perhaps someone who does could help with the file name.

I like it. Nice job. I had a conflict with a payeate tree scenery that modifies tree's seasonal colors and conflicts with any sceneries that modify trees beyond the default. In my case it lowered the runway about 5 feet below ground, but I removed the tree scenery from my community folder and BGBW works perfectly. Thanks again, nice job.

Hey, I'm visiting this place for the first time in SU11, ferrying my KA350 in FSE, just like you predicted. 😀
Not sure why, but I see two copies of the northernmost hangar overlapping each other. Perhaps the scenery wants to be recompiled with the latest SDK?

Could you please remove the trees between the threshold of RWY 24 and the road.
Default MSFS scenery's RWY 24 is about 50 meters to the right (NW) from yours. Which one is more correct?

Hello there, couple things... 1st of all, thanks for this scenery. Love it.
I dont know if this is a SU7 issue, but near the end of runway 6 I'm getting a windsock thats right on the edge of the runway pavement. It's quite ill placed. The windsock further to the east is also still there.
Also, the runway textures during winter are completely covered in snow, which makes it hard to see the runway, painted lines etc... is it possible to maybe use a different texture? On the apron there are some textures used (patches) where the snow is only partially covering the asphalt, but most sections are completely white.

the windsock issue has been fixed, asking for help with the snow issue. :)

I can´t delete this add-on and is crashing my msfs

I'm not sure how to you wouldn't be able to delete it, is your hard drive beginning to crash or did you get a virus?
I'm not sure how to help without a little more information.

Is this the same file as the one in the Greenland Package? https://flightsim.to/file/4398/greenland-package
3 years ago
I don't know to be honest, I haven't heard from trille in months nor have I bought the package. I assume he's using his models which I've modified (with permission) and maybe my files with it? Someone who's bought it would have to tell me I guess.

Now that the sim itself has this airport, it this project compatible and being updated? I just finished my first crossing in a GA b1rd and despite the long hours of staring at nothing, had an absolute blast and intend to do it again!

There have been no reported compatibility issues, if you find something, let me know?
