Orbx airports visited in real life - a rolling story
paulk replied to Stillwater's topic in General Discussion
Is that a HarbourAir aircraft (yellow and white) if so going with Whistler, Alta Lake, but unsure which Orbx add on that is included in. Unless it’s a Mesh add-on. -

Yes Larry does have Calgary under his name. Well done to all who got it correct (everyone basically). Sadly didn’t keep everyone busy all weekend, Larry are you able to make the next posting? -

I think you 2 are correct. That didn’t take long did it. Thanks for not naming the airport directly, leaves it open for others to join in over the weekend if they want. Will name airport officially on Sunday night. -

The price is right, I will give it a try. Have you fixed the joystick yet? -

I don’t think Antarctica would have been an obvious one. You got anything else? -

Honestly, never seen or heard of it until Orbx released it last week, so it was a wild guess for me. Will try upload something soon, anyone else feel free to jump in. PS I have the Sydney Cityscape and Sydney airport add-on, would like this also but worry my old PC may be slowed down by another Sydney add on. Anyone tried it? -

Happy for you to jump in. Not a clue, but I know Orbx released Sydney Seaplanes base recently so I will take a guess at that. -

Yes Lonsdale Quay, I am familiar with North Vancouver. It’s a great water bus trip across from one side of Vancouver to the other, especially if a Harbour Air Float plane passes near by. -

Yes - well done it is indeed Toronto Billy Bishop airport. Congrats to 'boetie' who actually PM me the correct answer last night. You guys are too good, I actually didn't upload a photo of the airport and you still got it 😀 Perhaps in future, we should try guess an airport by photos of its local surrounding's ? 😃 -

Interesting answer but sadly no. PS which Lonsdale are you referring to out of interest. -

Hi Thanks I enjoyed this one, it kept me busy. I have the Brussels add-on - its fantastic. For Info: the worlds Magnetic Field changes over an 11 year cycle. Most aircraft IRS systems have a Magnetic Variation table stored in them for the world (this can also be updated via a software upload), known as the MAGVAR table. Airport runway identifications are rounded to the nearest 10' depending on the local Magnetic Variation for the airfield. Eg: Brussels Runway 200 official magnetic heading would be anything between 195 to 204' However, due yearly magnetic variation changes, the runway must now be in the 185 to 194' area and the runway will have been re-categorized as 190. This is common for all airfields around the world. (obviously local magnetic variation is much worse towards the poles and that's why aircraft switch from Magnetic to True North navigation whilst over the polar regions). Anyway enough of the science lets see if I can find a new photo for you all. -

I am not sure if the runway in question is now not 01 / 19? As the world’s MAGVAR alters over so many years. If that’s the case I would like a further guess of Brussels? -

The large building is very confusing. BAe146-300 I was thinking Lufthansa and a German airport? However, 2 airports that have a runway 20 are Paris - Orly, and Barcelona, although, picture doesn't look like either. I'm not sure of the date your photo was taken and I don't think any major European carriers use the BAe-146 any more, so it could be an old Orly or Barcelona??? -

Total guess as I’ve never been just looked at Sharp Airlines and started researching. I am away for a few days but will try find something. Anyone else please feel free to jump in. -

Great another photo competition. So not got a clue but looking at the small propellor aircraft I’m going to guess Tasmania, Launceston??? -
