Unusual Airstrips - stephenf - 08-31-2007 Hi all, A few shots of some unusual airstrips in FSX. ZWAZ....unbelievably long runway. YXFV....strip in the middle of the city with buildings on it. Also the rotating beacon is based on the runway. NRQ....a very easy place to find an upwind runway! EGUW....tower in the middle of the runway. EDDI....That's one long terminal building. - AS275 - 08-31-2007 Hopefully someone will correct the erroneous ones. EDDI - Tempelhof - is the oldest commercial airport. Interesting article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempelhof_ ... al_Airport As an aside to this there are a couple of files in the Avsim library today to remove trees that are too close to the runway. Fine for a Spitfire which can skim the trees but a problem for a 747 who might uproot them or more probably rip the undercarriage off. hock: agexcl_3x.zip removes trees from an area three times the runway width agexcl_5x.zip removes trees from an area five times the runway width - stephenf - 08-31-2007 EDDI is an amazing sight in those photos. Pity it's not being used more. I spotted that tree removal program this morning alright....could prove very handy.
