CSoul 182 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 It's close to Sweden. Go a little further south-west. And clue 3 is according to Wikipedia, and so may be inaccurate. Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,487 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Looks familiar to me as well, is it Bergen Airport, Flesland? Link to post Share on other sites
CSoul 182 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Sorry that I only reply now; had an Internet outage yesterday. The city, which shares its name with the airport, claims the unofficial title "Capital of Jutland." It is the second largest city in its home country (which also happens to be Hamlet's home country).

allardjd 1,853 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 It would appear to be Aarhus (EKAH) in Aarhus, Denmark. John Link to post Share on other sites
CSoul 182 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 That's the one, John! :icon_thumbup: Aarhus airport is approx 19.4nm from Aarhus city and is located in Tirstrup. Over to you. Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Clues: 1) Capital, but secondary 2) Old money 3) Image not rotated Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,487 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Well looking through all your plates came to nothing, good ploy to get us looking at them and they are brilliant John. Now plan B Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 This is a future plate - not in the current uploads - but of course you've already figured that out. I guess that would be a crimson North Atlantic fish, eh? John Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,487 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Yep, we call it a Herring Rouge! Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Did you notice the complex-shaped terminal building in the airport layout?. I've recently figured out how to do that for airports where such buildings exist in FS, which is at most large or medium sized commercial/civil fields. They don't come up on my normal image source as the stock FS (i.e. rectangular) buildings do, so they've always just been absent in my plates. I can add them now without too much fooling around. As you know, some airports are characterized by the shape of their main terminal buildings and I'm pleased that I can now include them. In the meantime, how's the search coming?

mutley 4,487 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 Not on the scent yet John, trying to work out the old money, first thought was Stirling being old UK money. Holding out for the next clue I think. Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 More clues needed, I see... 1) Near a long-dormant volcano in a moderately geologically-active country 2) Within 20 miles of the sea 3) That's a closed runway just north/east of 15/33 4) The airport is not named for the city, but there is a VOR/DME on the field that is 5) The runway is less than 10,000 feet long 6) Old money is still the best clue John Link to post Share on other sites
CSoul 182 Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 Ciampino, in Rome? Vesuvius is nearby, and old money could refer to the old patrician families. Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 How about an ICAO code for it? John Link to post Share on other sites

allardjd 1,853 Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 Bingo! There's your old money too - the Italian Lira. Nice work. How did you figure it out? John Link to post Share on other sites
CSoul 182 Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 The old money clue had me foxed, actually, and I kept looking at New York, as a Google search brought up a Wikipedia article on old, wealthy families and most had ties to New York. I also thought that the first clue referred to a city, not an airport, and so I kept looking for countries with Capital cities smaller than their other, more well known cities. :blush: By total luck, I came across Rome and saw Ciampino, but I was convinced that the airport must by in New York somewhere. The clue about Vesuvius led me to the right airport. Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 Well, Tim said my last one was too easy and I didn't want to repeat the mistake. Nice going, anyway. John Link to post Share on other sites
CSoul 182 Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 Thanks. I won't give any clues, as the screenshot should be enough. Edit: I'll give a small one. This airport has something in common with Gimli Industrial Park Airport. Link to post Share on other sites
