A new north runway at EIDW Dublin is scheduled to open in the second half of 2021. In anticipation of the new runway a new control tower was built because views of certain parts of the new runway system will be obstructed from the old control tower. I created a mini-scenery of the new tower and ATC center as an addon to Aerosoft Mega Airport Dublin. The Aerosoft Mega Airport Dublin scenery predates both the new control tower and the north runway. Please note this mini scenery DOES NOT ADD THE NEW RUNWAY. No files of the original scenery are altered by this addon. The scenery is available from the libraries at AVSIM and Flightsim.com.
An interesting feature of the new control tower is the night lighting of its cab, which can be changed to mark certain events. For instance, green for St. Patrick's day in March, rainbow colors for gay pride month in June. At least a half dozen color combinations can be found on the internet in photos and videos. The scenery replicates these and I've added a few additional just for fun. In between these event colors the tower displays regular night lighting. Colors change automatically based on calendar dates.
Thanks to Dedl Klemmt and Ed Cox for testing the scenery for me with Aerosoft Mega Airport Dublin.
