Since I heard the FlyTampa version still has some time to go and I had some time to make this, I decided to completely redo my enhancement.
!! PLEASE DO NOT POST/SEND COMMENTS WITH QUESTIONS THAT ARE ANSWERED IN THE TEXT BELOW !!
This was a lot of work. It took me two full weeks (daily 8 hours at least) to do all the work. Therefor a small donation to my work would be highly apreciated. Even 1 euro/dollar would already be nice! https://www.buymeacoffee.com/svenduijff
WHAT IS NEW IN V4?
- All new ground textures.
- Runway textures enhanced (complete redo was not posible due to limitations).
- Custom painted lines all over the airport.
- Custom taxiway ground signs.
- Custom taxiway directional signs.
- It should be AI-traffic proof.
- A default Asobo Jetway version.
- GSX version.
- Jetway gate signs (showing the gate number as in real life).
- Terraforming all over the airport, removing the weird bumps.
- Added the second taxiway bridge at Q-taxiway.
- Custom night lighting on taxiways and apron (manually drawn).
- Orange and blue lines near G-apron/terminal.
- Redone Schiphol East (general aviation).
- Replaced several items that were in the way.
IMPORANT TO KNOW!
- I did not yet make a new GSX profile. The former one is NOT 100% compatable.
- In my screenshots I make use of the Google Maps tiles instead of Bing.
MINIMAL SCENERY REQUIREMENTS:
- MSFS 2020 (just to be sure).
- Asobo Amsterdam PREMIUM DELUXE (it will not work with the default scenery).
- 'EHAM Amsterdam Schiphol Airport Enhancements (Premium Edition)' by BrickbyBrickDesigns (this is optional, however I can't say if your installation will look the same as with me if you leave it out). It is avaible on this site.
- GSX Pro is adviced (a non-GSX version is now included using default jetways by Asobo).
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- If you are using my other modification with several apron markings. Be sure to delete it before adding this enhancement. Remove any previous versions I made!
- The former GSX profile is NOT COMPATIBLE with this version. A new one is in the making, but will take a few more days.
- The scenery works on my end, and at several beta-testers. I don't use any other add-ons then mentioned in this text. If it is not working, I might not be able to help you.
- This is a big enhancement package. On my high-end PC it has only little impact on FPS, however it might impact your system more then others. I used mostly default textures and only very little custom ones.
- Besides bug-fixes I will not add any other items anymore as in two months or so the new FlyTampa version should be finally there.
INSTALLATION:
1 - Exit MSFS if not already done so. Remove any previous versions of my enhancements installed.
2 - Copy the files 'duijffmedia-airport-eham-amsterdam'+ 'duijffmedia-airport-eham-amsterdam-lighting' to your Community folder (either the GSX or non-GSX version, not both!). Usually this folder is found at 'C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Community'.
3 - Open FSDT Installer (only when using GSX, comes with any FS Dreamteam add-on). Go to the GSX Pro Config tab. Make sure you have the EHAM_jetways.bgl disabled. I personally used the 'Exclude 3rdparty' button.
4 - Find the 'Addon Manager' file of the GSX installation. Go to 'MFSF\fsdreamteam-gsx-world-of-jetways\SimObjects\Landmarks\FSDT_WorldOfJetways'. Place the file texture.SCHIPHOL in this file and overwrite the original (backup the orinal first). You have to redo this everytime you update GSX.
Now you can launch MSFS. Would love to hear what you think! Enjoy it.

Sven
could you correct your instructions how to install .... i've installed hundreds by myself but your instructions are getting confusing by point no 4

=> NEW
Copy the files of the folder "GSX ING Jetways\texture.SCHIPHOL" (inside the GSX ING Jetways Folder") to 'MFSF\fsdreamteam-gsx-world-of-jetways\SimObjects\Landmarks\FSDT_WorldOfJetways\". Overwrite the existing files (backup them first!) You have to redo this everytime you update GSX.
What i most confusing is that there are 2 folders with GSX Jetways in their names.....
Rename the "GSX Jetways" => "Community Folder"

Only thing I noticed is the marking of the B15 gate shows B17 instead of B15. Not sure if it was the gate display itself that shows B17 or the marking on the ground. I dont know if this is how it is in real life, but I guess not.

Jetways don’t reach aircraft at the E gates, I’ll edit the rating once it’s fixed. Otherwise pretty good as a placeholder

Massive improvements!
However, also seeing some broken jetways at the D gates.
Also FSTL doesn't seem to work for me as well.

First of all my compliments for the great addon. You keep the best airport in the world alive and realistic. Very nice work.
Off course there is always something to wish for. I am using FSLTL and it seems it runs into some problems:
Does anyone has a fix for this?

FSLTL with the non-GSX version doesn't work. Switched back to your old version 1.1.

Super mooi, maar werkt helaas niet met fsltl voor vertrekkende vluchten vanaf de Gate.

Het is een super mooie en goede mod. Maakt EHAM meteen een stuk beter. Alleen net als veel anderen heb ik ook problemen met de AI en eigen taxi route. Ik heb wel een eventuele oorzaak/verschil gevonden. Bij het landen geeft de ATC een heel pad naar een gate. "Taxiway gate D7 using taxiway S3 S2 B A6 A(hele route)". Bij een taxi naar een runway krijg ik alleen taxi and hold short of runway 36R. Dus geen route van de ATC. Misschien dat daar iets niet lekker gaat. Zelf heb ik nog genoeg verstand van de SDK maar misschien een config/loading order probleem? Ik hoop dat iemand een vermoeden/antwoord heeft.
Ik heb ook geprobeerd msfs schoon opnieuw te installeren, maar dat hielp ook niet.

I think this could be the issue, wondering if the dev, can look into it by comparing other airport and see if something was missed?
