This scenery pack builds on the excellent work done by Aviationeh with his East Midlands Airport scenery upgrade.
EGNX Scenery Installation Guide
Pre-requisites:-
To get the most out of my scenery upgrade please also download and install into the Community folder the following:-
- East Midlands Airport – EGNX
- SDR Scenery Pack
- Dave's Crooked Library
- Antonov AN-225 "Mriya"
- Please note I am getting reports this version of the AN-225 doesn’t show up in my scenery any longer. I’m afraid is out of my control, sorry!
Download the Nottingham East Midlands Airport – EGNX Vx.x scenery file. To keep this instruction generic I’ve referenced it as Vx.x
The zip file contains two folders:
1. ema-egnx-noplanes
2. egnx-east-midlands-parking
Folder 1 is the scenery file with the control tower, improved buildings etc. Folder 2 is the update that corrects the Asobo airport parking mess which meant that traffic from 3rd party traffic apps such as FSLTL were not appearing. Please note, I have only tested with FSLTL and I know this works. I have no reason to suspect other 3rd party traffic apps don’t work but I have not tested them myself.
V3.5
An incremental update to correct for missing scenery following the latest updates. These include:
- The missing buildings at the back of RVL Aviation (Thanks to Ronniegarrod for the feedback)
- The fire training aircraft at the pad at the airfield’s northern perimeter
- The missing tanks next to the fire training aircraft
In addition to the above, as requested by Paul777 I have brought in ‘Tony’ and ‘Winnie’ the two wind turbines in the Spondon area of Derby.
V3.4
Incremental update, correcting parking spots 41-44, adding parking spot 45, correcting parking spot 30 position and orientation, correcting DHL ramp parking spots 110-114, 122-125 & 201-203. Thanks to user Harrier77 for the gate feedback.
V3.3
Incremental update, Parking spots 40-44 corrected, parking spot 30 reinstated, Parking spot 4 position adjusted to avoid apron lighting, Parking spots 8-17 adjusted
V3.2
Incremental update, increasing the size of parking spots 4,5,6 & 7 to permit 737s to park there.
V3.1
Incremental tweaks to parking positions, removing building clashes, aligning others and ensuring DHL and UPS jets go to their respective ramps.As ever, all feedback is appreciated.
V3.0
Thanks to everyone who took the time to feedback and help out with the lack of FSLTL traffic. This has been identified as an error in the base airport parking parameters which put in lots of small GA parking spots. Using the excellent ADE tool I've been able to tweak and trim the parking slots to make cargo jets go to DHL and UPS ramps and medium to large airliners end up on the passenger flight ramp. There may still be a few odd tweaks needed so if you spot something odd do let me know. The screenshots should convey how much more alive the ramp has become now that Airport specific jets are now appearing in the right places. As ever you're comments are welcomed.
The ZIP file you download will contain the latest V2.5 scenery updates as well as an additional secnery file which contains the amended parking. Just copy all the contents of the zip files into your community folder and you should be good to go.
V2.5
From V2.5 onwards I will only be offering the 'NoPlanes' version of this scenery. The advent of excellent add-ons such as FSLTL means I no longer need to put static aircraft in, the right aircraft should be flying in and parking up now. :) That said I will be keeping the AN-225 parked up outside the DHL facility in honour of our fallen friends in Ukraine.
This version is an incremental update incorporating feedback received in the comments... as ever they are greatly appreciated and I do try to address the queries raised. New in this version:
- Added more apron lighting to the length of the flightlne from DHL in the west to UPS in the east.
- Added car park lighting
- Updated East Midlands Gateway logistics park incorporating some new in construction buildings (according to Goodle Maps!)
Regarding FSLTL. I'm seeing comments regarding the EGNX mod being incompatible with FSLTL. I've tested this and even with all of the scenery removed so EGNX is back to MSFS default I get no liveried aircraft through FSLTL. I've made no changes other than adding scenery assets to the airport so can't see how I've made it incompatible with FSLTL, that being said I will continue to monitor and test.
V2.4
Re-instating the improved control tower, the north side fire training mockup and the admin building at the entrance to East Midlands Gateway that recent Sim Updates seem to have broken.
Minor Update 5/6/22 - The No Planes version now updated to include the improved control tower
V2.3
Inclusion of the rail to road container transfer yard adjacent to M1 Junction 24A and in memory of the AN-225, a static example in Ukrainian colours is parked outside the DHL facility.
With grateful thanks to DerAnakonda for his permission to use this aircraft as a static model.
Please note, for the An-225 to be visible please download and install the AN-225 by DerAnakonda from HERE

Is there any chance on having ground markings for some of the stands that are selectable but are missing the ground lines entirely?
Also for the stands 41 through 45, is there a chance to have proper ground texture and lines since currently the aerial image seems to be what is visible and it is very blurry and hard to see where the stands are.
Appreciate your work on that airport for those of use who won't but the payware but still want to fly to East Mids 😊

There are two folders, additionally two dependencies and also I guess(?) we need the base airport from user2292?
Please add instructions since even after reading (old) comments and the changelog it's unclear what is actually the intended set of addons.
Thanks for your work, I'll do a try with all of them installed now but a short list of instructions would go a long way 😊

I do not like criticising the hard work of developers who do things for free for the community. However, this add-on really is one of the poorest I have seen. The buildings are dreadful and the add-on does not appear to work with FSLTL. In fact, for the first time in over a year, the aircraft that occupied the "gates" were the default MSFS traffic... horrible.
There are some truly excellent airports on flightsim.to (eg Gatwick) and many average ones.... This is neither.
10 months ago
Thanks for your feedback drmerlin.... it is refreshing that whilst you do not 'like' to criticise you seem to have successfully overcome that block and really let rip on this occasion. Bravo!
That being said, as you say, this is a Free mod and it was always intended to make what is a bland default airport look just that little bit more realistic for my fellow sim pilots. As it says at the top of the page, it is "An enhancement to the EGNX scenery, brining it more to life...". It has never been intended to be on the same level as the likes of the excellent Gatwick mod which has clearly benefitted from hundreds if not thousands of hours of bespoke model development. The question you need to ask yourself is, does what you see look like my screenshots? If it doesn't then you've not installed it correctly. If it does and you are still so terribly upset at a free download then by all means delete it and move on with your life.
As for your FSLTL woes my friend, it works for me and many others so quite why your sim is borked is frankly down to you. I've just started the sim, started FSLTL and all of the aircraft at the gates are not MSFS default traffic... in fact it is a veritable hive of activity.
Best of luck in your development of the hyper realistic EGNX, I look forward to trying it.

Even though the file did not match your description I downloaded the AN-225 addon that you gave me a link to anyway and installed it in my Community folder. I still do not see it parked at the airport. Is there something else I need to do?
11 months ago
Yes I did the same and you can select to fly it but it isnt parked up at the DHL

Hi, Like many others here, EMA is my local International Airport and am grateful for your work in bringing some realism to EGNX, however............
I have read and re-read both the instructions provided and in the comments, but I just can not get any FSLTL aircraft to show up, it all looks a bit empty and would love to bring it to life
I have the 3 files in my community folder (via AddOnLinker) and even prefixed them with X, Y & Z to control their installation sequence, all without sucess
When spawning-in, with or with-out the mod, the parking spots all dispay as GA, its as if the file to change their size is not doing its thing
Any help would be greatly appreciated
thanks in advance

So, I manually put my files into the community folder so can't comment on what AddOnLinker is doing. Some thoughts:
Beyond this, not sure what to tell you, it all works here...

Hi,
For some reason I do not see the static AN-225 model.
I do have the AN-225 addon aircraft installed but my understanding is that is not necessary to be able to see static models.
12 months ago
The static An-225 is by DerAnakonda and is available here: https://flightsim.to/file/14839/antonov-an-225-mrija-v0-5

Hi, thank you for your work on East Midlands, it's much appreciated. Would it be possible to increase the size of the parking position for gates 4,5,6 & 7? I think the small size is stopping AI from spawning at these spots whereas IRL they are used by Jet2 B738s. Thank you.
12 months ago
Can do but will need some clues to which these gates are please?

Hi,
I'm on the latest version of MSFS and this scenery doesn't seem to sit right, the RVL building is a portacabin. Is there some default scenery clashing with it maybe? Ive got the Aviationeh's files plus the other Library files in your post but no luck. Other scenery like manchester is working fine from my Community follder.

Sorry you are experiencing this issue. I've just loaded in and verified RVL aviation's Hangar is looking as intended. I've uploaded a screenshot montage to show what I mean... https://images.flightsim.to/images/25/nottingham-east-midlands-airport-egnx-4489-1683406884-vlKEF.jpg?width=1400&auto_optimize=medium
