Twente airport is a general aviation airport in the east of the Netherlands. Because of its military past it has a large runway: 2.4 km, or almost 8000 feet. It recently started functioning as an airplane parking for airliners, because of the large amount of unused space left when the military closed/left the airport (so you can land your jumbo-jet if you so desire).
The runway has all realistic dimensions, run-offs and lighting, from VASI to approach lighting just as in real life, also all taxiways and GA parkings that I know of are in here. Now also included are the military parkings and bunkers, for even more ways to use this airport.
The download contains 2 folder, one with the airport data as in the runway, taxiways and parking, called radohm-ehtw-base, and the other folder has the aerial imagery in a low resolution. This give you the choice if you only want the airport or also the aerial imaging of the airports nearby surroundings. Just copy what you want to the community folder. If you are interested in the medium or high resolution versions of the aerial imagery, send me a message.

Well done, thank you! I've been there years ago when there was still scheduled commercial traffic.
Am I seeing correctly that there are no more active instrument approach procedures (ILS, VOR, NDB, RNAV etc.)? At least I cannot find related charts in Navigraph!

Thank you for the kind words! They really mean a lot to me when I spend 2 hours again to get a thing fixed for an sim update. For the ILS approaches they aren't officially active any more, but I believe they do turn them on when an airlines comes in to be parked there, so the system should be there, be I have no idea as if yet how to put that in Flight Sim 😅

Dear Kingma,
I have used your rendition of this airport as it was completely missing from MSFS. Many thanks for adding it. I recently found out (after SU7, but I'm not sure if they might already have been added in an earlier update) that many of the missing airports have been added by Asobo into the default MSFS after all (EHVN, EHEH, EHVK, EHLW, EHKD, EHDL, EHWO and EHTW). Those default ones are rather ugly though, with empty bright-green aerials and default buildings, so I would like to use your rendition, in particular for the trees, but also for the hangars and the hill that you modelled, as those are missing in the default rendition. However, this now leads to double runways and taxiways as your addon is placed on top of the new default MSFS airport, without removing the one from Asobo. Would it be possible to resolve this and remove Asobo's airport when installing yours?

Thank you for the positive comments! I indeed noticed the same, and I've added it to my to-do list. I hope to work on it shortly, possibly this weekend. I've also noticed some bumps around the airport as my and Asobo's version collide in some places, I hope to smooth those out as well
