In 1940, the airfields in the Netherlands were a bit different. Some of them are still in use today (like Schiphol, be it in another appearance :D) but some were abandoned during or after WWII. One of them is Bergen Airfield, located in the north-west part of our country (province Noord-Holland :D). Bergen was attacked at the very first beginning of the May War, taken over by the Germans for bombers as far as I know but later abandoned. The concrete is still there by the way. Some time ago I made a screenie while flying over that location in FSX with NL2000. The airfield was surrounded by the creek, and in the upper part of the screen you can still see the concrete.
Because Bergen doesn't exist anymore, I wanted to have it in FSX. So I couldn't loose the default/NL2k airfield. Mr. Cees Donker made a Bergen for FS2004, so I tried it out, modified the traffic files with the Fokker G.1 of Michel Migaud and my Fokker. It works fine in FSX, though the traffic impact on framerates is -5 frames (really, once there's no traffic in the view, I run 24, locked, but as soon as traffic appears I run 19 or so).
Well, does it look nice?
Disclaimer: this Bergen Airfield is not a part of my project, nor my property! I'm just playing around with it and showing you my Fokker in this scene ;)
And here's my baby with some Fokker C.X fighters. This C.X model is made by Wim Regeer as a flyable one for FS9.
Hope we'll get an official FSX scenery for this (and other locations of 'NL1940') soon.
