    The Dortmund Airport project is currently in the release candidate stage. This version will be fully compatible with both MSFS 2020 and MSFS 2024 on a backwards compatibility basis. These screenshots

  • In fact, there are only a few days left until the completion of the Dortmund airport project. One of the airport complexes that I think some of you will recognize I will keep you updated.

Friend, I used to think so too. Until the war caught up with me. It doesn't matter where a person expresses his thoughts.
You're saying that by covering the forum your city where you live won't get hit by a missile, or it won't be occupied, I'm not sure.

Trust me, flight simulators haven't protected anyone yet. If you want to live in a sweet bath, okay, that's your business.

 

But I suggest returning to the Dortmund project. That will be the best.
When there is news from me regarding the development of the project, I will inform you.

Hello friends.

I haven't heard any news from Dortmund for a long time. War, what else can I tell you, war :)

Regarding the updates, 85 percent are done.
What I'm unsure about is whether to replace JETWAYS with fixed parts. I'll leave my home version with JETWAYS.
I could hold a vote, but I'd like to hear your suggestions.

Я хочу почути від німецької авіаційної спільноти, що вони хочуть бачити в Дортмунді. Аеропорт з рухомими ТРАССАМИ, чи з навощеними обрубками.
Це перше питання.
Друге, перед виходом оновлення напишіть мені, що ще ви хочете змінити.
Якщо ви цього не зробите, я випущу оновлення, як вважатиму за потрібне.
З повагою

Ok. The official update will be without Jetways. As the airport looks today.

My new project will be Kathmandu, and it will be a surprise for you, in Germany!

Regarding the project of a new airport in Germany. This is a small regional airport, which is not represented in the simulator. So, this will not be a dubbing of some project. I told about it later.

Hi Pavel.

About two weeks ago, I contacted the press department at Dortmund Airport about the jetways. They confirmed that only the mobile, movable part of the jetway had been removed. The rest of the jetways remained unchanged. The ground markings were also unchanged.

 

Response from the press department:

"Ihr 3D-Model entspricht der aktuellen baulichen Situation. Die Fluggastbrücken selbst wurden nicht verändert; lediglich der mobile Teil wurde demontiert und durch eine Glasscheibe ersetzt.
Auch bei den Bodenmarkierungen für die Flugzeuge gab es keine Änderungen."

Thank you Christian for contacting the airport administration.
I have made the non-moving part of JETWAYS, as you showed in the screenshot.
Your animated flags are already in the edited project.

 

In general, by the end of the summer I will finish making updates.

 

I will not intrigue about the new project, this is Lubeck airport. At Kathmandu airport VNKT, a lot has already been done. So I can work on EDHL in parallel.

Hello.

The update for Dortmund is ready and sent to the publisher. When the update is available. I think there must be some organizational moments and the update will be released.

What was done.

Removed jumping passengers in the middle of the terminal.
Fixed the interior textures in the middle of the central hall of the terminal.
Edited the textures of the runway.
Added animated flags that replaced static flags.
Removed the moving part of Jetways in parking lots 3 and 4. Now the parking lots correspond to the real airport, which underwent changes in April this year.
Edited the GSX profile in parking lots 3-4. Passengers move from the fixed part of Jetways, turn onto the ladder and descend from the ladder to the ground on a defined trajectory to board the plane. In the same way, only in the opposite direction, passengers disembark from the plane. The edited GSX profile from the zip archive is located in the root directory of the project
Edited the LODs system in some 3D objects

Additionally, 9 3D buildings have been made that are located across the road from the airport terminal. Among them are the Porsche showroom, the airport commercial center, etc.

A number of minor bugs have been fixed.

The update, like the release version, works with MSFS on the principle of backward compatibility and is suitable for both versions of MSFS

___________________________________________

 

I will continue to keep Dortmund in mind. But for some reasons, you know what, it is quite difficult to plan and set specific deadlines.
Despite this, I still have a few plans to improve the Dortmund airport project.

For now, I am focusing on my new projects.

You can see the changes in a short video. This video is informational, without artistic intentions. I recommend turning on HD mode when watching.

Hello.

The native version for MSFS 2024 Dortmund Airport has been sent to the publisher. So after some time, it will be available.
Also, for information, a native version of Bratislava Airport was supposed to be released or is being prepared for release.


I rarely visit forums lately, but periodically collect feedback and suggestions for my projects. I plan to do the next update for Dortmund in 2026.

 

Now it's the turn of Kathmandu VNKT Airport. By the end of the year, the VNKT project will be completed, the release will most likely be in early 2026. A compatible version for both simulators and a native version for MSFS 2024 are planned.

I can't wait for the Tribhuvan - Nepal airport. Please, keep doing more artwork, so realistic and magic!
