Credits
Designing and building such a scenery is a very complex process which
can only be achieved with the help of many people and enthusiasts.
We would therefore like to thank all our helpers who were kind
enough to provide us with photographic material, advice as beta
testers or with small programs which enhance this scenery. All these
people ensured a creation of this scenery as close to the original as
possible.
Thank you to Matthias Bachmann from Geocontent for providing
us with the aerial photos of all the airports included in the scenery
package.
The “Dynamic Airport Enhancement Services“ and a new designer tool
which we used the first time with this scenery, have been developed
by Oliver Pabst based on the Intelliscene Technology by Maurizio M.
Gavioli, VistaMare Software (“AES Lite for GAP-EDLW by Oliver Pabst,
powered by Intelliscene of VistaMare“). Oliver, many thanks for the
quick thumbs up, to take over this part of the EDLW scenery.
The basics of some static aircraft have been designed by Marcel Felde.
To overhaul the surroundings of this scenery in FS2004 we have used
the program Ground2K4 by Christian Fumey. Thank you very much for
your permission to use this program.
Another thank you goes to Lee Swordy for his program AFCAD which
creates and adapts AI traffic to this scenery.
The AFCAD-files were created by author of this scenery and were
optimized by Oliver Pabst.

Using German Airports sceneries
in Flight Simulator X
FSX brings some new technical options. We have gone and adapted
the new possibilities for our airport sceneries resulting in a few
changes we had to make compared to FS2004.
To ensure a fairly good frame rate we decided not to use the bump
mapping and reflection features.
Runways:
To display the runways as real as possible we have designed them
using several layers which would not allow us to use the water and
rain effects. Depending on your view point and in some rare occasions
it can happen that the aircraft shadow will not be dispayed properly.
Weather, Time and Day:
Various weather, daytime and seasons variables are no longer available
in FSX for the scenery designer, e.g. the windsock in the GAP2 sceneries
no longer moves according to the wind direction. Also the textures
of trees of the airport environment will not be selected automatically
according to the season. To therefor insure the proper textures we have
devloped and added this little tool called “seasons“. With this tool you
are able to select and install the correct textures prior to starting FSX.
To open this little program click on “Start - Programs - Aerosoft -
German Airports 2- Dortmund - Seasons“.
Select the correct season. Start your Flight Simulator.

The airports
Dortmund Airport
General information
In the spring of 1925, the Air Traffic Corporation Aero Lloyd of
Dortmund started a regular flight schedule service to Berlin. In 1926
the Dortmund Airport Corporation was established and took over the
financial responsibility for the airport from the town. Dortmund at this
time was established in German aviation. By the commencement of
the Second World War the airport “north of the village of Brackel“
was constructed on the recommendation of the incumbent Mayor.
During the War the military took control of the airport and all civilian
flights were ceased. After the Second World War, the network of the
airpost flights (runs) of the German Air Company included Dortmund.
The Royal Air Force (RAF), then took control of the destroyed airport,
restored it and commenced operations.
In 1953, German Glider Operations were resumed from Dortmund.
In 1955, control of the airport was returned to Germany authorities.
However, Dortmund airport was no longer in the Lufthansa network
because its aircraft needed a 2000-meter long runway for safe
landings/takeoffs and extending the runway was not feasible. Instead
the airport was used to house a British Missile Battery.
Dortmund’s Civilian Aviation Authorities instead located an old grass
airstrip belonging to the Air Sports Club. The prerequisite for the
development of regular air traffic at the airport in Dortmund was
the construction of an asphalt runway. In the beginning the asphalt
runway was a converted road used by transport vehicles until 1983.
The road was closed to vehicles and re-designated as a runway and
the area was renamed “Ruhrgebiet“.

15
In 1987, the departure building was extended and the runway
widened. In 1993, the length of the runway was extended to today’s
standards and five years later the new Tower and Cargo Center were
constructed.
In 1998 the new tower and the Cargo Center were opened. The
foundations of the new check-in building were laid.
In 2001 the airport celebrated ist 75th birthday and passenger
numbers broke the million barrier for the first time. The new terminal
was finished.
2004 the low cost carrier easyJet began operating from the airport.
Passenger numbers rose to 1.18 millionen.
In 2005 more than 1.7 Millionen passengers flew from Dortmund.

Cologne-Bonn Airport
General information
Although Cologne has a long history and tradition with flight, the
history of the right-hand side of the Rhine River Airport, Cologne/Bonn
begins after the Second World War.
In 1906 the citizens of Cologne established the “Club for Aviation“,
which in turn was initiated by the suburb Bickendorf, situated on the
left-hand side of the Rhine, to build a runway for zeppelins. A couple
of years later the Butweilerhof Airport was constructed. The airport,
affectionately known as “Butz“, developed into a substantial airport,
and by 1936 it was second on the airport priority order list right
behind Frankfurt a.M. Airport. After the Second World War the “Butz“
Airport was used as a Sport Flying Club until the 1980‘s.
The Cologne/Bonn airport situated on the right-hand side of the Rhine
River was built after the Second World War in the area of the Wahner
Heide. Prior to 1938, the German Military had an Air Station situated
here. Directly after the war, the British expanded the German Military
Airport for their use. In 1950, they permitted civilian airlines to use
the airport. During this period the young Federal Capital of Bonn,
the economically driven metropolis of Cologne and the main regions
of both cities were expected to become involved with international
aviation, but could not since between 1952 and 1957 the British Royal
Air Force was using the airport. After 1957 air traffic at the airport
increased steadily requiring a permanent expansion of the airport and
its facilities. Among the German airports, the airport Cologne/Bonn is
presently sixth on the destination list.
The most popular German destinations are Berlin, Munich and
Hamburg. There are daily European flights to Paris, Zürich and London.
The airport tourist agencies offer short and long distance flights to
southern Europe, the Mediterranean Sea and to North Africa.
The Cologne/ Bonn airport accommodates jet aircraft with the capacity
to carry full passenger and fuel loads to any destination in the world. It
also has the reserve capacity to handle much higher traffic densities.
