Thanks, i just tried it.
I git-clone'd, then added the folder to the scenery tab, but it still shows the old scenery.
What do i do wrong here?


Nevermind. TerraGIT was in the way.

BTW Terragit seems to have a nicer airport for Borkum. With the Pack above i have no buildings and no cars at the parking place (and no parking place)

Thanks for the feedback, this is probably because terragit iirc incorporates project3000 objects. I don't support this idea, imo those who want to use project3000 can download and add that scenery extra.

Could you maybe show a screenshot of what it looks like at Borkum? Maybe I can improve it a bit

[EDIT] I found out I was using an outdated version of the airport layout, I am now updating it and adding some objects :)

Wow that looks stunning! Thanks, Echo! However In Helgoland the runway center line is "bumpy" when I roll over it.

Yes, I'll be here this evening too ;-)

IMHO the additions should go to terrasync sooner or later ;)

@benih: Thanks for the screenshot! Unfortunately it doesn't load here, neither embedded nor following the link, maybe it'll work later.
[EDIT] Now I see it :) I think with the new objects, we are approximately at the same level of detail

@daniel: Thank you :) Unfortunately there's nothing I can quickly do about the "bumpy" markings :/

Nice!
D-ECHO will you add this to the default scenery too?

The objects at Borkum and the new objects just placed at St Peter Ording have been added to both the custom scenery as well as the scenery database. The new terrain probably won't be added to TerraSync (the usual tile seam problem)

Fantastic, D-ECHO!
And thanks for providing a special package for this trip!

(Will the parking positions as above still work?)

Time setting:
St. Peter Ording closes 20:00. 30min reserve, 90min roughly for the trip. So local starttime 18:00 should make it realistic for an evening flight.

OK, just to be sure and avoid confusions:
- real world start time (wheels up) is 20:00 UTC
- insim local time for this is to be 18:00
=> so starting with 20:00 UTC and time setting to system clock (real time) should be good

All parking positions except grass2 are still off of a runway, even though not in the normal parking area. While checking this I noticed that grass8 and grass9 are very close to each other, basically overlapping, is this intentional?

If I'm not missing something, your conversion is the wrong way around ;)
20:00 UTC equals to 22:00 local time (time zone Berlin)

Yes. this sounds correct. Your system clock is running with Portugal time? Anyway, I am very sure, you will manage :-)

Checked with google maps, that there are airplanes parked on both sides of the taxiway and proposed positions shall reflect this.
grass8 / grass9 overlap unintentional. No time to change, so pilots, be advised :)

Oops.

So i will show up on 22:00 local / 20:00 UTC; with my insim clock set to 18:00 local/16:00 UTC


Should we maybe meet a little earlier like the last times? (it was 19:00 UTC since the time shift)

Summer / Winter time!!!!! Who has invented this???? Took the times from the winter events.

If fine for everybody, we'll make it wheels up 19:00 UTC (which is 21:00 Berlin), so it is not too late in the evening.

Sorry, if anyone arranged his evening around this.

Anyone coming in late, can join is in Helgoland.
