    About this addon

    Emden Airfield (IATA: EME, ICAO: EDWE) is located in the north of Germany not far from the East Frisian Islands.The Airfield is used by a lot of helicopter operators for offshore operations in the north sea. As the WindOffshore sector in the North Sea plays an important role in our future, we have decided to make the Emden airfield as real as possible. The airfield will cover all needs for virtual pilots: From helicopter pilots that can fly workers to the wind parks at sea, privat pilots that can take their plane for a spin for a sightseeing flight above the East Frisian Islands or even Business Flights. About 15 km west of the airfield, directly at the Ems River, is the Winchtower. This tower is used by helicopter crews for winch training, to winch the workers at sea on wind turbines.

    Features:

    • All objects are very detailed models
    • Highly detailed modeling of the buildings with interiors in the terminal and HeliService hangar
    • Realistic Physically Based Rendering (PBR) and Night texturing on all objects
    • Static aircraft with real painting

    • Current Runway, Taxiway and Parking layouts
    • Custom vegetation, roads and elevations around the airfield.
    • Highly detailed winchtower 15km west of EDWE (outdoor heliport)
    • Optimized for outstanding performance and visual quality
    • Detailed Signs of the BAB 31 Highway
    • Landable helipads on the apron

    Love the Airport. It's my basi in MSFS2024. I'm passing by it nearly every day. Is there a plan to update it for 2024 and adjust the new hangar to the real look of it and the new building, they build next to the airport?

    Danke, sehr schoen. I like the level of detail on the airfield and the winch tower. Also, very recognisable landscape, coming from your flat neigbour country (Niederlande). And my Chinook almost fits in the hangar.

    difficult to understand. We have tested the scenery on different systems. Even on a PC with very low components, the framerate was ok. anyway thanks for the feedback. We hope that you can still use the scenery.

    Great scenery. But the Runways are reversed. The runway texture-numbers are correct. I hope you can fix it.

    thank you for the feedback and sorry for this mistake. Of course this will be corrected in the first update.

    I already owned a payware Emden airport from another developer but this is of really high quality. The buildings and (ground) textures are really good and look realistic. The animations on and around the airport are something you dont see often in any airport. Even the ditches look good in this version. Owning a lot of payware airport i can say this is one of the best smaller airports available. Looking forward to anything this developer will bring in the future.
