Starting off
Introduction
Maastricht Aachen airport has its roots in the Second World War
when the US Engineer Corps created Advanced Landing Ground Y-44
as a front line airport for fighter bombers and recce aircraft. Directly
after the war is was still busy as the road network of the Netherlands
was severely damaged. But when car travel became easier it was
decided to keep the airport open and to turn it into a regional airport.
It was steadily upgraded and EUROCONTROL decided to use the
airport as its base. It’s now doing very well with growing passenger
and freight amounts.
The moment the low cost airlines started to operate the airport got a
huge boost. Located close to the Belgium and German border and
close to many major cities it attracted companies like RyanAir and
GermanWings. To increase the multinational idea the airport was
renamed from “Vliegveld Beek” to Maastricht-Aachen Airport. With
good success as more than half the passengers are now German.
System Requirements
In order for the scenery “Maastricht X” to run as smoothly as
possible, you need the following:
• Lockheed Martin Prepar3D V4.1
• Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 / 8 / 10 (64bit)
• Processor: Quad-Core CPU with 3.5 GHz
• Memory: 8 GB DDR4 RAM
• Graphics card: 2 GB with DirectX 11
Installation and Removal
Installation is simple. Unzip the file that you downloaded, start the
exe file and follow the instructions on your screen. Make sure
Prepar3D is closed and we do advise you to reboot your system
before installing. Make sure you are logged on as Administrator on
the machine! After installing it can help to defragment your hard disk
(but do not do so if you have installed it on an SSD). Do note that the
files are personalized on installation. When you share them with
others you also share personal details.
After installation has finished the Aerosoft Launcher will start and it
will be installed (or updated).
Removal should never be done manually but only using the software
removal applet you will find the Windows Control panel.
