A small but growing collection of small GA airfields in Switzerland to improve on the very limited fidelity of the fields included in MSFS2020. The fields are all in one package (with separate BGLs for each airfield) to reduce community folder clutter and dependency issues for common assets.
The primary focus is on function and accuracy, and we’re just starting to get into custom objects eye candy.
Release 0.16 brings some upgrades to existing airfields and WU6 compatibility.
All but LSZK and LSPG (these need some more extensive rework) have been made compatible with WU6:
-
- New patches for artefacts on the ortho photos (LSZI got an alternative aerial picture over the whole field)
- Heightmaps and some corrective terraforming to make the airfields conform to the lovely SwissAlti3D Mesh. This is really not a pretty solution - but unfortunately for several reasons we still have to do this.
Some other upgrades:
-
- Custom runway lighting for LSGE, LSGC and LSGY. Every single light has been separately put in the correct place (we hope).
- Slight improvements in ground markings (with custom painted lines) for LSZI and LSPH
- Active runway indicator panel for LSZF

If you feel like improving your home base to a higher level or you have even already started doing some work - why not consider joining us and experience the power (and fun) of team work. Even if you're not into development work: Having a local contact to provide information, measurements or photos would be valuable.
Warning: This scenery add-on contains a configuration that inhibits fuel trucks and follow me cars from spawning for small GA parking spots. Unfortunately there seems to be no way to restrict this configuration to specific airports, it applies globally - which may or may not be something you want anyway.
There might be a bug that inhibits moving vehicles to spawn on all types of parkings instead of just the smallest ones. As a workaround the LivingWorld_Config folder can be deleted from this package.
Installation: Just unpack the zip in the community folder.
If you have other (more detailed) scenery packages of some of the airfields there are two things you can do to make it work:
- Make sure this folder is alphabetically before the other scenery in the community folder. If the other scenery is done properly it should override the respective airfield in this scenery.
- If the above solution doesn't work, delete the respective bgl file out of the scenery folder of this package.

Sehr schöne Arbeit! Danke dafür. Es wäre toll wenn die Flughäfen einzeln installiert werden könnten. So kann man Sie mit anderen Mods kombinieren.

looks beautifull all!
But a BUG REPORT:
your scenery makes dead/stop any ground vehicle traffic atr any airport over the whole earth... seems to happen something with your files in folder "LivingWorld_Config" or "AirportServices"

Thanks for your feedback. Finally got to try it out now.
It's in the LivingWorld Config. We were aware that it affects all airfields worldwide as it says in the "Warning" section of the description of this package. According to the documentation our configuration should only inhibit the vehicles for the smallest parking type - and I seem to remember having tested it with an earlier version. But now, as you say, there doesn't seem to be anything moving anymore.
Without this configuration file we get lots of cars and some fuel trucks, container loaders and passenger buses on the smallest of grass strips.

Downloaded and installed this, however I have a request: can you please add at least a single screenshot of each airport you've updated? Otherwise I'm unsure if I have it installed correctly. For example my first flight was out of LSZV and I can't tell if it's yours or not.
Thanks!

LSZI looks now much better but its still far away from the real thing. The smaller Building should be more like a regular Restaurant with a outdoor dining area and the Spielplatz is missing.

Great work. But it looks like most of your airfields cause huge terrain spikes from far away. Once you get closer, they disapear... but from the distance, most airfields have huge terrain spikes :/

Hi, thanks for reporting this.
So far I could reproduce it for LSZV and LSPH. How bad it is seems to depend on the "Terrain Level of Detail" setting. As I normally have that setting on 200 it is nearly invisible on my old screen. On which airfield did you find it was worst?
Anyway - We'll have to fix it. Maybe as a hotfix (yay, we'll get to do a hotfix).
MSFS terraforming really is the stuff of nightmares. In a perfect world we wouldn't even have to do any of it - after WU6.

Im Anflug auf die Bahn 12 von Bad Ragaz (LSZE) steht eine Reihe von Bäumen. In Fotos vom Flugplatz scheinen mir das nur Gebüsche zu sein, die die AI wohl zu ausgewachsenen Bäumen aufgeblasen hat. Wäre es möglich, diese Bäume zu ersetzen oder zu entfernen?

Thanks for the info. Will look into it.
And yes, we're not dead - mostly just waiting for the world update before releasing anything.

Thank you for the wonderful sceneries. I took part in an event that used your package and I was really impressed. Is there any chance of adding LSMF? It is breathtaking scenery and I'm sure many flight simmers will love it. Thanks!

Would it be possible to add the white symbols for Bellechasse LSTB?
it is a 450 m grass runway used IRL for practicing but in the sim, it i barely visible from the sky (runway limits are missing=
Thanks!
