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.

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“.
14
Page 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.

Leipzig/Halle Airport
General information
The idea to build an airport to service the densely populated areas
from Halle to Leipzig, was a direct result of the inadequacies of the
Hallenser Airport which had been established in 1925. The airport was
not well located geographically and was not adequate to service the
population base. Therefore, in 1927 a new airport, Halle/Leipzig near
Schkeuditz was opened. Its development was so positive, that in 1937
the airport was fourth place in Germany on the order of precedence
for most air traffic.
22
Page 23
Because the airport was exclusively used by the military during the
war it was heavily damaged.After the war and up to 1961 the Eastern
Block utilized the airport, which was
airport. In 1963, the Trade Fair (Convention
ckau Airport requested that the Leipzig/Halle shouldt hold Trade Fairs
bi-annually. Due to the changing terms of conditions, it became impossible for Halle/Leipzig to operate as an airport. In 1972, the Halle/
Leipzig Airport under the name of “Leipzig Airport“ resumed normal
yearly operations. After the political change in Germany, the airport
was restructured. Terminal “A“ was thoroughly modernized and
re-constructed with a new building extension. In 1992, the takeoff/
landing runway was rebuilt and the Northern Parallel Runways were
extended.
post-run. In 1994, an Instrument Landing System (INS) Category IIB
for main landings was installed and in 1996, the new Terminal “B“ for
General Aviation (GAT) opened. The expanded runway in the North
has been ready for International Flights since 24 March 2000.
Projects:
Construction of a new terminal. The “new“ airport Leipzig/Halle is
presently positioning itself as an excellent hub of air traffic, rail and
road.
The target areas of the Leipzig/Halle airport are:

Airport Munster/Osnabruck
General information
Airport history
In 1968 a cooperation was established for the construction of this
airport in the Munster/Osnabrück Region.
On 27 May 1972, the Munster/Osnabrück Airport (FMO) officially opened.
The new Tower, Air Traffic Control and the Instrument Landing System
were on an international level for takeoff/landings. In 1978, the runway
was widened and this opened up the possibility for bigger aircraft to
land and take-off. In 1986 the Munster/Osnabrück airport became an
international airport and three years later joined the night-air-post-run
with Lufthansa.
With the steady expansion of the airport hangar, an additional Instrument
Landing System was installed in 1988. A new Control Tower was
erected in 1990 and a Cargo Hangar in 1991. This resulted in the
extension of the Terminal. In 1994, a 36-meter high Radar Tower was
built with a new Terminal in 1995 and one year later a Parking/Airport
Center was opened.
In the following years the airport grew and in 2001 the new built
Terminal 2 was opened.
In 2003 the new Air Berlin maintenance hangar was built.
Projects
• An extension of the takeoff/landing runway to 3600 meters for
Intercontinental Flights.
• An extension of the Cargo Section.

Appendix
Dortmund Airport layout limitations
Airport Dortmund was divided into two areas after the major restructuring
in 2000. The older section (7 to 10 meters above the newer section) is
now only used for General Aviation (and a lot of business aircraft). The
newer section that has the new 400 meter long terminal, now only
handles the scheduled traffic with jets and turboprops.
This scenery follows that schedule (of course) but it means a rather
tricky sloped taxiway (L) and some issues that results from the layout.
You can use the taxiway to transfer from the older to the newer
section and back, but there are some other limitations you should be
aware off;
• On the higher section of the airports the 3d objects cannot
have shadows.
• The shadows of your own aircraft can be incorrect on taxiway L
and the higher GA section of the airport.
• The GA area cannot have AI traffic, so it is missing from the AFCAD
files (no defined parkings etc), additional parking locations have
been provided at the eastern section of the airport.
• Under certain conditions it is possible to ‘fall through’ the taxiway
L. This is most prominent at high speeds and certain at any
additional vertical force (for example landing on the taxiway).
These limitations have been well documented and cannot be changed
in FS2004.

AGNIS (docking guidance system)
Should you not be able to see the AGNIS while rolling into the parking
position please switch the view by using one of the following keys:
• Key “S“: virtual cockpit
• Key “SHIFT“+ “-“: decrease zoom
• Key “SHIFT“+“BACKSPACE“: Move up
• Key “SHIFT“+“ENTER“: Move down
Ground Traffic
Ground traffic in FSX:
All service vehicles are default objects of FSX. You can change the
density of these vehicles in the FSX menu “Options - Settings - Display
- traffic“. Change the settings with the slider “Airport vehicle density“.
This slider also controls the internal ground traffic in FSX at the airport.
Ground traffic in FS2004:
In order to view the ground vehicles activate the option “Add-on dynamic scenery“ in the menu “Options - Settings - Display“. The
setting for the dynamic ground scenery settings can be set with the
slider from “very sparse“ to “very dense“.
It is possible that vehicles will collide with one another when using the
setting “very dense“. By leaving and going back to the airport again
there will be no more collisions.
It is also possible that ground vehicles will cross the path of your
aircraft and collide with the aircraft. An anti-collision system is not
implemented in this simulation and cannot be programmed at this
time.
One of the red rescue vehicles has audio sound (siren). You can hear
it when you are close to it. Be sure to set the slider in the menu
“ Options - Settings - Sound - Environment“ to the far right.

Performance
To ensure the highest possible frame rate we recommend the following
settings in Flight Simulator:
Switch off the ground scenery shadows.
Open the menu “Options - Settings - Display - Scenery“ and disiable
the option “ground scenery shadows“.
Reduce the density of autogen objects.
Open the menu “Options - Settings - Display - Scenery“ and set the
slider “Autogen density“ to “normal“ or less.
Set the AI traffic desity to a lower level.
Open the menu “Options - Settings - Display - Traffic“. Set the slider
“Airline traffic density“ to max. 25%.
We also recommend to use only one layer of clouds in the weather
settings. It‘s also a good idea to reduce the visibility to max. 20 miles.
Make sure that your system is not running any other programs in the
background.
Static aircraft
Static aircraft have been placed very scarcely on this airport to ensure a
frame rate as high as possible. A combination of static aircraft and AI
traffic is not recommendend.
Compatibility with other FSX Add-ons
Germans Airports sceneries are compatible with Aerosoft‘s “VFR
G ermany“ sceneries, “German airfields“ and “MyTrafficX“.

Connection and adaptability of our roads and
layouts to other FS2004 add-on products
We can not guarantee adaptability to ensure a smooth transition
between various other mesh or add-ons.
“German Airports 2 - Hannover“ and Aerosoft‘s “Scenery Germany 2“
are compatible.
Rainer Duda‘s “German Rivers“ in FS2004
This “German Airports 2 - Dortmund“ scenery is compatible to Rainer
Dudas “German Rivers“ which is available as an add-on to German
Airports 1, 3 and 4 and which can be found on these CD´s.
Please make sure that “German Airports 2 - Dortmund“ scenery is
placed above the add-on “German Rivers“ in the scenery library. A new
installation of “German Airports 2 - Dortmund“ scenery will ensure this.
Compatibility with Aerosoft “Scenery Germany 3”
and “WorldCup Stadiums”
If you have installed Scenery Germany 3 (version 1.10) or if you have
install the free World Cup Stadiums add-on from our site AFTER you
installed German Airports 2 - Dortmund, it is possible that you see an
error when you shut down FS2004. This can be solved by re-installing
German Airports 2 – Dortmund (please always use the control panel to
remove the product).

AESLite – dynamic ground vehicles
Oliver Pabst has created a new AESLite version for the GAP2 Airports
showing the dynamic ground traffic on the aprons and the traffic on
the surrounding roads.
The dynamic ground traffic on the apron reacts to crossing and closing
in of your controlled aircraft to prevent collisions. They will stop and
only carry on when your aircraft has left the area.
The dynamic ground traffic does not react to AI aircraft.
A configuration tool for the dynamic ground traffic can be found in
the folder aerosoft\German Airports 2 for every airport. Traffic.exe lets
you define the areas where you want AESLite to be active.
The AESLite traffic is independent from the settings of the dynamic
add-on scenery of FS9 (Options-Settings-Display-Add-on dynamic
scenery) and will not be affected by these settings.
