Jack Sawyer Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 P3D 4.5 Orbx Global, LYBE, Europe LC, Trees, Buildings. etc. AS4 weather PMDG 737 I set up a nice flight from LYBE, Nikola Tesla to Istanbul's LTFM. Then I flew it, there were Navigraph SID's and STAR's and approaches so I thought all was well. Coming into the area the VOR wouldn't tune. So I went into P3D's Map mode and lo and behold no airport with this name. Continued right up to where the airport was supposed to be but all there was was a field. To say I was irritated would be an understatement. At least Tesla Airport looks fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Karl, that's what I figured, if Sherlock Holmes can't find it then it can't be found. I wonder if Mr. Moriety had anything to do with it?

Stillwater Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Great shots of Belgrad again, Jack. Initially I thought you would fly your Janet to Area 51, but the new Istanbul airport provided enough camouflage as well. Have you tried the Bosporus bridges instead ?

renault Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 I once faithfully followed my GPS looking for a golf course in a city that I was visiting for the first time. It took me to a Walmart Distribution Center Nice pics! R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Dear Jack. If you install an updated version of your navigation data, you will be able to navigate to all the airports in that database. Unfortunately, if the real world airport is newer than the P3D database, something that is not uncommon, given the age of that database and you have not spotted this and availed yourself of an addon, then when you arrive, there will indeed be nothing there. Yours sincerely, S. Holmes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yours sincerely, S. Holmes. Hi Nick Holmes . I have Navigraph updated at all times. So it did show in the FMC’s database. But I should have looked in P3D’s airport list, gonna do this later today. Many thanks Mr. Holmes, good sleuthing . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
