[[Image:EHAM_taxiways.jpg|thumb|270px|The updated taxiways at [[Amsterdam Airport Schiphol|Schiphol]].]]Gijs de Rooy redraw the airport layouts for some of the Netherlands' most prominent [[:Category:Airports|airports]], including [[Amsterdam Airport Schiphol]] (EHAM), [[Lelystad Airport]] (EHLE) and [[Volkel Air Base]] (EHVK). Taxiways and tarmacs are now correctly placed and up to date with the current situations. Another big improvement over the "old" airports is the use of shoulders (those concrete borders around taxiways), just as you would encounter at the real airports. The groundnetworks for these airports have been updated or created as well. | |||
Spending a couple of hours placing the taxiways and [[Interactive Traffic|AI routes]] in [[TaxiDraw]], Gijs was able to turn some gaunted airports into a living world! | |||
