MSFS 2024 hand crafted airports

Featured Replies

Is it true that some of the hand crafted airports have been improved/upgraded for MSFS 2024? If so, I would be curious to know if the following issues have been rectified.

  • BIAR Akureyri - displaced threshold arrows offset relative to runway centreline lighting at the 01 end.
  • BIIS Isafjordur - double taxiway lines.
  • EDDK Cologne Bonn - poor performance.
  • EDDM Munich - train station lit up by a thousand suns.
  • EDDP Leipzig Halle - double runway centreline markings.
  • EDDS Stuttgart - rubbish generic terrain textures surrounding the airport (with obvious mismatch next to the photoscenery). What on Earth happened here? :huh:
  • EDNY Friedrichshafen - multiple pylons on top of electricity substation base image. This may be an MSFS 2020 Software Update 16 issue, as I see the same at UK2000 EGPE Inverness.
  • EHRD Rotterdam - no solar panels, and some poor building textures.
  • LKKV Karlovy Vary - runway centreline markings are all over the place!
  • LSZB Bern - runway centreline lighting offset from the centreline markings at the 14 end.
  • LZTT Poprad Tatry - runway centreline lighting offset from the runway centreline. Some misaligned runway centreline markings. Runway 27 approach lighting does not seem to be working.

I like your eye for detail; I'll run a check and get back to you in half an hour mate.

What Image hosting can you recommend? Someone said IMGUR is blocked in the UK?!

I can only speak for BIAR - had elevation issues, downloaded a fix from the usual site.

I believe this has nothing to do with the handcrafted airport itself. Rather, the underlying Bing aerial imagery is blurred, maybe because of the air base on the southern side of the airport. The airport was actually missing entirely in early versions of MSFS 2020. I flew out of EDDS recently in MSFS 2024 and don't think I noticed it, but maybe I wasn't paying attention period. 

BIAR: Arrows doesn't seem to be too far off, but centerline markings are wonky: https://ibb.co/bM5gvLGP and https://ibb.co/5W7Y6LMh
Notable mention: I've had a huge issue at BIAR with a 10m high vertical wall around the airport, reported it at Zendesk and it's fixed!
BIIS: taxiway lines look better than in some payware addons: https://ibb.co/m5ygT28D
EDDK: unable to test due to installed Aerosoft EDDK
EDDM: not sure which train station you're referring to but the S-Bahn station midfield even looks a bit too dark imho: https://ibb.co/x816L50c
EDDP: unable to test, payware addon from a russian developer installed
EDDS: not sure where to look but surrounding of Stuttgart looks just fine to me: https://ibb.co/fVq1xd5S https://ibb.co/27QJxCxX
EDNY: again not entirely sure where to look but again, no obvious irregularities found
EHRD: building textures look good but the huge solar farm just north of the RWY is still missing
LKKV: RWY centerline markings appear to be fixed: https://ibb.co/gMzrF3MM (disregard image quality, had to zoom in a lot, that's not how my sim looks lol)
LSZB: centerline lighting and markings are fine, but something I've noticed, the taxiway lines are not aligned with the RWY centerline. Close to the RWY32, the yellow lines are correctly just slightly off to the right of the white lines (https://ibb.co/Z6qRSX6m) but when you get closer to the RWY end to RWY14, the yellow line is off to the left and incorrect side by like 1-2 meters (https://ibb.co/YFHsQTM5).
LZTT: complete mess. Markings incorrect (https://ibb.co/4Z2qjF1X), centerline lighting 1-2 degrees off to the centerline (https://ibb.co/9HPCn7MM) (https://ibb.co/dJ1NkQk4) and missing approach lights on RWY27: https://ibb.co/TxvrJKvj

I've also had elevation issues at EDVK with a 5m high cliff ranging straight across the RWY and elevation around the airport was also bad but this is fixed aswell. Asobo does listen to bug reports, which is nice.
Hope this helps, unfortunately I haven't managed to paste the screenshots directly in this post.

You could delete if you want. I've had them too and it's fixed by Asobo/MS.

The secret is to open the image in your image hosting site and then copy the image address:

https://i.ibb.co/Q3vFHnxf/BIAR-01-1.png

and let it embed itself

You are right, imgur has removed access permanently for UK based IP addresses.

Thanks a lot. I did it before but somehow missed how I did that.
I refrain from ebedding them here directly as the screeshots are too big and too many as per forum rules.

Another one to add to the list.....

  • EIDL Donegal - runway designation should now be 02/20, which means that the taxiway signs also need to be changed. That section of fence that extends right up to the taxiway exit from the runway must surely not exist at the real airport. It would be a hazard to larger aircraft taxiing in and out. I would also love to see an upgrade to the terminal building, with detailed internal modelling.

@Christopher Low I've just found out that I haven't updated a single one of those airports after applying SU4.
Just did a 10-15GB update of like 30 airports and I've checked again LZTT, LSZB and EHRD for you:

- LZTT: approach lightning RWY27 is now present, but it looks wayyy to shallow. Like it's just 5% of the light intensity of the other RWY lights, therefore not really helpful when approaching. And the fence around the airport has weird texture artefacts at night at decent angles and views but this shouldn't be visible when landing from a cockpit POV, as it only happens on the very bottom of the screen (tested with drone mode, didn't take an actual flight).
Markings and centerline lighting still bad.
- LSZB: yellow RWY-lead-out-lines still few degrees off the centerline
- EHRD: still no PV power for the airport 😞
