Excerpt from Threshold
In an unusual twist, Miltech Simulations has released an airport scenery that is packed with unexpected additions. EDDI is the airport code for the Berlin Tempelhof Airport. In the Miltech announcement, they promise an accurate recreation of this airport “in its Cold War prime”.
From the iconic 1.2 km curved terminal to their custom, era-accurate, high-resolution aerial imagery of the airfield and its surroundings, they have added many more objects and add-ons to make us take a closer look at this scenery product.
Scenery packages typically include the terminal buildings, gate walkways, and accurate gate markings, all the parts to expect when you pay money for a scenery upgrade. But Miltech adds to this scenery package to make it unique and fitting for a 1960s-era airfield. They add the following objects and features:
The iconic curved terminal building as mentioned above.
Complete EDDI airport layout: 2 runways with ILS and VASI.
15 usable parking stands and 6 helipads.
Custom, era-accurate, high-resolution renditions of the airfield and surroundings.
Miltech goes on to describe additional features:
A Pam Am Boeing 707
Five Boeing 727-200s
Grumman Gulfstreams in six liveries
USAF C-5 Galaxy and a C-130 Hercules
Three BEA Vickers Viscounts
Dozens of periodic vehicles
Military hardware on display
F-8 Crusaders
A Lockheed U-2 with dedicated hangar
To add to your enjoyment of this scenery, Miltech promises that you can fly the whole length of the Berlin Wall, segments, corner sections, obstacles, and border watchtowers. Checkpoint Charlie, a concrete checkpoint installation, the Berlin TV Tower, and Palast der Republik landmarks.
To add the cherry on top of the dessert, Miltech includes a 3-mission campaign designed for the Bo 105 helicopter. They also describe how you can fly a Bundespolizei helicopter out of historic Tempelhof, patrolling the wall over a divided city. This part, of course, would require you to have the Miltech mission hub product and the Bo105 helicopter.
The Sundownersim – Berlin Tempelhof EDDI 1970s is fully compatible for MSFS 2020 and 2024.
