allardjd 1,853 Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 I guess you need another clue...OK, it's fresh water. John Link to post Share on other sites
ddavid 149 Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Three times five? Cheers - Dai. Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Is that an official guess, Dai? John Link to post Share on other sites
ddavid 149 Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Well - I guess we can give it another day? The 'freshwater' clue is ingenious, John - good catch! Cheers - Dai. Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 "...catch..." - there's another clue, folks. John Link to post Share on other sites
CSoul 182 Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Bass Guitars would also have been a good clue. Can't believe I missed it. Great stuff John. Anyway, as Dai said, 3X5 is one of them. Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Ah, but Dai didn't say 3X5, he just nibbled at it. You stated the ICAO 3X5 explicitly, so you win. For everyone else, these islands are in the middle of Lake Erie, between the US state of Ohio and Ontario, Canada. The actual ICAOs and airport names from FSX are... North Bass Island 3X5 Middle Bass-East Point 3W9 Middle Bass Island 3T7 Rattlesnake Island 58OH Put-In-Bay 3W2 Kelleys I 89D To make it a little harder, I rotated the image 90 degrees.

CSoul 182 Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Thanks John. So, here's the next one... Clue: A onetime roosting spot for Hunters. Link to post Share on other sites
CSoul 182 Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 Another clue: The hills are alive with the sound of...the Bugatti Veyron. (might help you find the country) Link to post Share on other sites

CSoul 182 Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Not quite. Further north. The Veyron clue is reference to a Top Gear challenge. Another screenshot: Link to post Share on other sites

CSoul 182 Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Ambri, Switzerland it is! Former military base that played host to the Hawker Hunter. And Switzerland also played host to Clarkson in the Veyron: the clue being a reference to the gag where the "The Sound of Music" warbled away over idyllic Swiss pasture, only to have the Veyron come screaming by.

allardjd 1,853 Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 OK, it seems everyone else has lost interest so I guess it's up to me.

ddavid 149 Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Thanks, John. I guess my slant on humour isn't everyone's cup of tea. I must get some interesting scenery and expand my horizons... Chers - Dai. Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 The problem with using add-on scenery for GTA shots is that not everyone has what you have and it makes things more difficult for them. I try to stick with stock airports for that reason. This one was pretty easy for me since I'd done an airport diagram of it within the last week and it was fresh in my mind - not that I recognized the airport layou right away but your textual clues had me on it pretty quickly. Will have something to post later today... John Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 I'll let the picture do the talking for now... More clues in 48 hours if you need them. John Link to post Share on other sites
