boetie Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 (edited) I'm guessing not UK or USA as the speed limit below the speed bump sign is probably in kilometers. Edited March 24 by boetie 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulk Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 A few good guesses, see if this helps (it's an Orbx add-on airport, but not for MSFS). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulk Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Great another photo competition. So not got a clue but looking at the small propellor aircraft I’m going to guess Tasmania, Launceston??? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have to take another continent to make it more challenging, once it would be my turn again. But now it´s yours, do you have one? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulk Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 (edited) 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??? Edited April 9 by paulk .

ikbenik Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 No not Paris-Orly or Barcelona. Maybe a mistake from me: not a pure Orbx-airport but from a partner via Orbx-Central. Hint: The Control Tower that you see on top of the building is no longer in use, I took this picture in 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulk Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 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? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that’s the case I would like a further guess of Brussels? Hello, it is indeed Brussels, the largest airport at the capital of my country. I have an airport-chart that is maybe not updated runway numers, the indicated 20 is possible now 19, reason unknown. I was flying to London Heathrow for a connection flight to Phoenix on a B747-400 of British Airlines in July2010. The airport is for MSFS modelled by Aerosoft. So 'paulk' congrats and you're up for a new challenge. Edited April 11 by ikbenik 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulk Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 (edited) 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. Edited April 11 by paulk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
