linden Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Thought it might be cool to collect screenshots and location info of airports in the FTX regions all in one place. After a while we should have a nice visual library to "flip through" looking for the next airport to try out. Just post screens of an airport/airports and list its name, location, and any other info that you want. It'd be nice to have exact coordinates so we can just punch them in the map screen and go. Here is a list of some freeware airports in AU Blue, with their coordinates, taken from the "ORBX google airport map" available in these forums to make it quick and easy to get started and go straight to some airports. If you want, just print it out and you won't have to jump back to any other program to browse for another airport. http://www.fsfiles.org/imagehost/uploads/1225237420.jpg Here are my first few...

caribou Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Many thanks Linden! Great idea. I've been searching for the various airfields using information provided and flying there etc. Lots of fun, but it's nice to have some coordinates for those I can't find. Cheers, Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Venema Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Beautiful work Linden! If you do all the airfields then this is worthy of a nice PDF guide that can be published. Well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxpax444 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Just so you know there is an updated version of the OZx freeware airfields avaliable here: http://www.mthake.com/FTX/OZx/ozx_map.php I need to update the freeware airfields on the AU Blue map, as they are back from the days when Orbx still did the freeware stuff. Fantastic set of shots! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
