Mannheim City Airport (EDFM), located in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, is a regional airfield known for its central location in the Rhine-Neckar triangle. Characterized by its distinctive control tower and check-in hall, the airport offers essential transport connections and serves both city air traffic and rescue operations with its designated helipads. Mannheim City Airport’s role as a hub for helicopters in the region, including air rescue services, underscores its importance. Now, with the latest update to Version 2.5, creator joe_ger has brought several new improvements to enhance the experience.
In this updated release, elevation data has been fine-tuned. Taxiways have been straightened for a more authentic feel, and problematic issues such as bridges being covered by trees and water have been addressed. The helipads, especially at Uniklinik Heidelberg, have been added, extending the airport’s utility for helicopter traffic. Significant modifications have been made to the apron, with new markings introduced. One of the most noticeable changes is the redesign of the gas station, though final details are still pending due to a lack of reference pictures. The helipad behind the station has been refreshed, along with nearby structures, including an updated wall. You can also expect adjustments to runway signage and newly textured taxiways.
A fresh "Welcome to Mannheim" sign now greets you at the terminal. As development continues, this freeware offering provides an increasingly detailed recreation of Mannheim’s City Airport.
