| Update for Xplane 12 -
VRMM - Velana International Airport in the Maldives is recommended to be used with included ORTHO. If the included Ortho is not being used the airport might NOT look as intended.
---------------------------------------
PLEASE READ BEFORE DOWNLOAD
Old runway 18/36 closed october 6th 2022 and the new longer and wider runway including new taxiways opened. ILS for the new and longer runway 18/36 in x-plane 12 should work with updated nav-data from ex. Navigraph and release cycle 2210. No need to change any data or files.
If you use outdated nav-data prior to cycle 2210
x-plane 12 native nav-data might give issues with ILS for the new runway 18/36. Try first and see if you encounter issues at VRMM before you make changes to any x-plane 12 native navfiles.
If you make changes to the global airports nav-data file in xplane, expect it to be reverted back to default every time you download a new build for x-plane 12. Solution is to use the latest nav cycle!

Information about Male Velana International Airport
VRMM is the main international airport in the Maldives. It is located in the North Malé Atoll, near the capital island Malé.The airport is well connected with major airports around the world, mostly serving as the main gateway into the Maldives for tourists. The airport is undergoing large construction. A new runway has been built, New International Apron and a new South West Apron are also built. The new runway was inspected in 2018 but not cleared for traffic. The old surrounding seaplane terminals have to be demolished and removed before the runway can open.
The new runway was set to open for air traffic in mid 2020. But due to the pandemic and travel bans around the world. The opening was postponed and it finally opened on october 6th 2022.
In september 2022 British airways re-signed to fly between London and Male once a week from october 2022. In december British Airways will fly daily flights between London and Male.
In November 2019 the new Seaplane Terminal over at the South West Apron was opened for operations commencing with a Manta Air flight. In order to allow the new longer runway 18/36 to begin operating, all TMA Seaplane Terminals will be closed with all operations transferring to the new terminal building during 2020.
All pilots at this point should disregard all ground markings on the apron and only follow air traffic controllers or ground personnel guidance.
The New International Apron ( the most northern) is in operation for certified International traffic. It opened in 2019 and the new concourse is being built. The old apron used for international traffic has been refitted for domestic flight operations and do not use specific stands on the apron.
Enjoy - Happy flying! 😁

weird roads on the scenery

The list of needed libraries is incomplete. It also needs ruscenery and flags of the world. When including the ortho folder (placed below the airport scenery in the scenery_packs.ini) all buildings disappear. When not using the ortho, you'll get a message telling that items might be missing. I am using AutoOrtho so I don't need the included ortho files. Is there a way avoid getting the message? Other than that the scenery looks good, thanks.

Scenery is great! Please create orthos for the airport itself when you have the chance

This scenery requires NAPS Library, which is no longer available and X-Plane crashes without it.

Use google and you will find NAPS quite easily.
