Hello Simmers,
It is my pleasure to share with you my first scenery project for Microsoft flight simulator, Damascus International airport OSDI.
Damascus International Airport is the international airport of Damascus, the capital of Syria. Inaugurated in the mid-1970s, it also was the country's busiest airport. In 2010, an estimated 5.5 million passengers used the airport, an increase of more than 50% since 2004. Wikipedia
Address: Damascus Airport Motorway, Syria
Code: DAM
Opened: 1973; 51 years ago
Hub for: Syrian Air, Cham Wings Airlines, FlyDamas, Damascene Airways, Syrian Pearl Airlines
Elevation: 616 m
Built: 1965
Owner: Government of Syria
Serves: Damascus
The airport was built from scratch with:
- Custom building and terminal.
- Realistic night lighting.
- Simulate the surrounded area.
- Accurate taxiways and correct parking spots
We used some assets from the following freeware libraries:
EDHK Lights & Objects Developers Pack (Asset-Pack)

Animated Human 3D Models Library
https://flightsim.to/file/33166/animated-humans-library

This is an excellent scenery product for freeware. The static aircraft do not worry me at all, although I can understand others wanting them removed. Perhaps you can make this an option for those that want to keep them? For me, airports are about atmosphere and I love the changing light in front of the main stands; And the images used on the Terminal glass are high resolution and so work really well! Well done for doing that.
I have installed ALL the additional libraries including the ANIMATED HUMANS file - but I can find NO animated people anywhere in the scenery, except the default Asobo Engineers on the ramp! Is this correct?
I would really like to review this product, although I might wait until you work on it more. If you can, having the Terminal area landside created in 3D instead of low resolution photoground, would be a huge improvement and some static people would also add to the ambiance of the place. Such people models are available on this site and do not sigificantly hit the fame rate.
Anyway, congrats on such a nice scenery that is badly needed in this part of the MSFS World!
All the best,

If you copy these coordinates into the specific place, it should show correctly on the map above.

Excellent work with the ground textures by the way.
My best wishes and peace to the people in Syria!

The city is recognizeable, but It would be good, if some POIs would be inserted (for example the famous Umayyad Mosque, Citadel, Palace). GOD SAVE SYRIA!!!

Also do these buildings next to the tower are supposed to be there?

and the airport in the VRF map looks strange
