allardjd 1,853 Posted September 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 I'll see what I can do with it. That's a "busy" one. I did one other where I had to put all the text information on a second sheet and may have to do that. John EDIT: It's coming up with no buildings showing - first time I've seen that in ADE9X. I suspect this is one of those "photo realistic" stock airports included in FS and doesn't have the buildings in the bgl. Anyway, I'll pursue it. JDA Link to post Share on other sites

JDA Hi M8, Don't panic about it too much, don't spend loads of time on it as I can make do without, or try and work out how to do what you have done in FSX... I am working on trying to visit the TOP TEN busiest airports at some point and this is one of them which is a massive airport, already been there a few times. I will probably buy the Mega Airport version at somepoint in the future. Anyway as I said, don't panic too much... Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted October 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 OK, LFPG is posted - two plates, one for the normal diagram (which contains an abnormal amount of text) and another for the taxiway labels - YIKES. Now I know what happened to the guy who designed the Maginot Line - he's locked in a rubber-room, designing taxiway layouts at LFPG. I recognize the work. I don't think I know of another airport with two VOR/DMEs on the field, seven Ground Control frequencies, four NDBs on the approach paths and enough taxiways, that if laid end to end would reach to all of France's former colonies, and back again. John EDIT: Looking at that airport again, why would they need two ATIS frequencies? That's madness - or Gallic one-upmanship. JDA Link to post Share on other sites

allardjd 1,853 Posted October 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Don't be shy about asking for more. I try to do about ten a week and if there are requests it saves me the trouble of deciding which ones to do. As my dad might have said, it keeps me off the streets at night.

SlimNasty 0 Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 Hi John, Okay you said don't be shy , so I have a little project for you if it is possible. As you may be aware UK2000 scenery has more detailed airports for sale and have two FREE demo downloads for people wanting to try them out, anyway I have downloaded both of these and am using them as my initial bases in Air Hauler and hope to buy the full versions later on. http://www.uk2000scenery.com/vfrairfields/index.html It would be great if you can do the plates for these, don't worry too much though as there are a few, I have put the links to the demo downloads as well if anyone wants them. Volume 1 Demo : http://www.uk2000scenery.net/files/vfrairfields-vol1demo.zip EGHI - Southampton (ALREADY DONE) EGLD - Denham (ALREADY DONE) EGLS - Old Sarom EGBP - Kemble EGLA - Bodmin EGVP - Middle Wallop EGDP - Portland Volume 2 Demo http://www.uk2000scenery.net/files/vfr2_demo.zip EG20 - Audley End EG2J - Old Warden EGOS - Shawbury EGBN - Nottingham EGMJ - Little Gransden EGBW - Wellesbourne EGCW - Welshpool EGSA - Shipdham You said don't be shy :biggrin: Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted October 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 I usually upload about 16 in a batch and already have twelve stockpiled and ready to go. I'll do four more from your list, then upload a batch and see how it goes. I'm trying to keep this to stock airports only, in order for this to be useful for the most people, so don't want to start branching off into add-on airports, even from free demos. Having said that, for the purposes of airport diagrams it's unlikely there will be much difference. Add-on airports vary mostly in terms of buildings and other static objects, so the stock FS airport should still provide a useful diagram in most cases. Also I don't do diagrams of single runway airports with no taxiways, aprons, buildings, etc. Any that look like that I just pass by. To the extent that any you listed are like that I won't bother. Let me have a run at the first four and we'll see what comes out the other end. Thanks for the suggestions - looks like fun. John EDIT: EGLS, EGDP, EGCW, EGSA are single-runways with no apron, taxiway, etc, so aren't worth doing. EG20 doesn't exist in stock FS. All the rest are sufficiently complex to do, so I'm off and running. JDA Link to post Share on other sites

allardjd 1,853 Posted October 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 Doing them by country is way too large a bite. On average I do about one a day and there are around 24,000 airports in FS9 - more in FSX. I'm not going to live long enough to do all of them but am willing to do requests.

allardjd 1,853 Posted November 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 Eighteen more added, 10 US (including Key West Intl, Hilton Head Island and G Bush Intl in Houston), 7 UK, including London City and Farnborough and 1 in France).

Capt Mcg 0 Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Hello John, I checked and didn't find Oakland Int'l in California (KOAK), is it listed somewhere? IF not it's a pretty large Airport. Any Possibilities on it? Link to post Share on other sites

allardjd 1,853 Posted February 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Twenty more airports are posted, including two that have two plates (KDAY and KMDW - Dayton and Midway). Those are just too "busy" to include all the text on the plate with the diagram. I make the total number of airports available now at 452. Also, EGPP (Liverpool) is updated in this upload. I've pretty much exhausted all the UK airports but continue to try to add European fields in similar numbers to the US ones I add. I'm noting that some of my early efforts were pretty lame and will try to upgrade a few of the most heinous ones and add them with each batch of new ones. As always, requests for specific airports are welcome. John Link to post Share on other sites
