United Kingdom + Ireland: Fall 2016 [November 5th and 6th]

Viggen isn't AAR capable tho.

Viggen isn't AAR capable tho.

You may have to put it down the back of a c-17 or C-5 and send it over then

[J Maverick 16]

The Viggen is able to perform these legs, as it did with the 2,600+ NM of KSUU>PHNL in May. So still I'd love to have also "heavy" planes apart from fighters: I'm flying either the KC-137R or the -RT. If you KIWI could fly with us either AWACS or JSTARS it'd be awesome.
We wouldn't need RC-137Rs unless there are many pilots since "they're already based" at EGUN (in real life).

KSUU to PHNL is 2,116NM direct. And yeah, I've done it, but I ended with < 5% fuel and have a lot of experience in the Viggen, and had to follow a very specific cruise schedule to get it done. =] I haven't tried it after the last round of aerodynamics changes though. It can do your planned route, Jmav, but it couldn't do a NAT flight.

Sounds good ! Ill do some test flights with both AWACS and the E-8 and ill get back to you

Awesome that your enjoying the 137s!

So worth the hard times developing!

...and finally we've EGBB (at least the main building)!!


I've added jetways (animated) and lamps, i want to complete it adding more surrounding objects and buildings, estimated time: 2-3 days (depending of how goes the week). Its submitted to TS, i want add it to a gitlab repo too because we can test it and have the best scenery for the festival, but i don't know if we have a UK terragit folder with an updated layout for the airport.
Hope you like the work!

[IAHM-COL]

There are no updated layouts for Birmigham (at least none that I know of, nor in the xplane db)

terraGIT's UK already has 108 updated layouts, where available.

[Catalanoic]

Oh pity! Which airports are these? Where i can find the UK's terragit official repo? ..and maybe you can add the link to the first post as official scenery pack. Anyways i'll develop Birmingham with more depth too
PS: Do we have established a home base for the festival?

1. Which airports are these?
Anything not blue in here, within the area of UK + Ireland

2. https://github.com/FGMEMBERS-TERRAGIT/terraGIT
terraGIT is just an opensource repo. There is nothing "official" about it.

Code: Select all

git clone https://github.com/FGMEMBERS-TERRAGIT/terraGIT.git
cd terraGIT
install/UK


3. See the first post and you'll see all airports that have scheduled ATC. There are no "home bases" on a festival. We select a region and activities can/will occur anywhere in such region. We have ATC service planned, but also mini-events. Anywhere in that "region" for those 48 h.
