Fredric Greenblott 1346549 Posted August 13, 2017 at 06:48 PM Posted August 13, 2017 at 06:48 PM So today I was going to fly KLM432 from EHAM-EGSS and I got clearance and pushed back. I informed ATC that I had the default Schiphol and thy gave me directions to taxi to 36L, then to 36C. When I followed their taxiway instructions, I found I was heading to Runway 9. When I looked at the chart for present-day Schiphol and an overhead view of the airport in my sim, I noticed 36L and C were completely nonexistent and so were their taxiways. I have no idea if 36L/C is even IN the default Schiphol. I kept referring to the chart from modern-day Schiphol, but it was apparent that I would have to taxi across a non-existent taxiway to a non-existent runway. It just wouldn't work. Either what I saw was a glitch in the terrain or the default EHAM is that outdated. What should I do? (Apart from buying a payware version of Schiphol of course.)

Dace Nicmane Posted August 13, 2017 at 11:52 PM Posted August 13, 2017 at 11:52 PM I noticed 36L and C were completely nonexistent and so were their taxiways 18R/36L is the newest runway, but 18C/36C should be there. I've seen people announce landing on 18R, then landing on 18C. I figured they had old scenery. Are you saying you have only one 18/36? Usually controllers are aware of outdated layouts and give the pilot another runway/taxiway that he or she has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have FTX OpenLC Europe installed, so there may be some conflict there.

Thimo Koolen Posted August 14, 2017 at 04:53 PM Posted August 14, 2017 at 04:53 PM Hi there, one of the Vatsim EHAM controllers here! What sim are you using? FSX should have the 18R/36L (Polderbaan) runway. If you are using FS9/FS2004, the Polderbaan isn't included in the default scenery. There is addon scenery available to add this runway to your FS9/FS2004 sim. See below. If you use FSX, try the AFCAD in the link below. Be sure to create some backups first! https://www.dutchvacc.nl/index.php?option=com_phocadownload&view=category&id=2:amsterdam-airport-schiphol-eham&Itemid=119 How did your departure out of Schiphol end? Did you find the runway or did you depart from a different runway with ATC help? You can always request a different runway to the controller (preferably the delivery controller (or lowest position online). The controller will coordinate with other positions if necessairy.

I am using FSX Steam Edition. I will download the AFCAD that you sent me. After many reroutes and delays, I ended up departing off of Runway 36R, and I just intercepted the 100 degree radial from the Schiphol VOR to get back to my SID. Next time I fly out of Schiphol, I'll make sure to update it!
