Note: Requires the version of OMDB included with MSFS Premium Deluxe. You can try using it without this, but expect floating jetways and other weirdness!

This is a work in progress aimed at improving the quality of Asobo's OMDB. There are enough improvements and it's advanced enough that I'm comfortable sharing with the community, but please bear in mind that there's more work to be done.

Upcoming improvements

Please see the roadmap for additional planned improvements (dates are placeholders only, releases will come as and when I have time). 

Main features

• Runways: Added missing PAPI lights. Fixed runway approach lights on taxiways. 
• Layout: Updated to current layout as of June 2022. Removed closures on K and P. Major clean up of taxiway markings based on the latest satellite imagery (not Bing!). 
• Taxiway signs: Added taxiway signs, including intermediate holding points.
  • Complete: all runway exits and the two most heavily used taxiways (K,M).
  • More work on this might follow, but this is hugely time consuming so no promises. 
• Gates:
  • Size and placement corrections, AIG A380s will now show. Correct airline gate assignments for AIG/AI traffic (thanks to Chris for giving me permisison to use his work as a base for this!).
  • Gate numbers on the ground. Unforunately, nothing I can do to make these bigger as the size is hard coded by Asobo. 
• Static aircraft [Requires AIG Emirates models to be installed to show]: Parked EK A380s and 777s on Apron S and by the maintenance hangers. I have not included any static on the active aprons, to preserve their usability on VATSIM and with AIG. 
• Aprons: general clean up and refresh using the latest satellite imagery. Pulled back Aprons in a number of spots to reveal more of the aerial imagery. 
• Lighting: added lighting to multiple previously dark aprons, taxiway lighting improvements (WIP). 

...and more random fixes here and there. Enjoy!
