Anyway we can make the IACO code SIMV aswell?

I have a couple of suggestions:

It is important for it to be easy to find & appeal to lots of our users - this means US or near US. No pojnt in having it in the middle of nowhere (& only 7% of users come from Europe.... )


>> NY State - like tip of long island. Lots of good flying around & easy to find.

>> Outer banks, NC. The point of 1st flight (& where I spent my own personal childhood vacations  8-))

>> Somewhere cool with lots of good flying around .. (a feel good factor to fly into)  -- such as Las Vegas/Santa Monica/ Washington State / Silicon Valley ..

I agree from Pete, even i am from UK and I think it should be somewhere around the east coast say NY.

..you can also include your own VOR and NDB stations, with their own radio frequencies...

...you won't get lost then... ...!

I would suggest somewhere mountainous ...... challenging approaches ..... interesting weather patterns... etc.

Hey guys, here's what I came up with so far.

[JBaymore]

There has to be a bridge somewhere in line with the final approach for one of the runways......... so that ozzy will feel at home.

I like it but as I said, there are some changes that will have to be made with it. We will see how it goes.

Of course!  I'm just putting some ideas forward.  Why don't some others come up with some plans and let's see which we like best?

I don't know whether you guys would be up to it, but I have an idea - seeing as none of us can agree on where to put the SimV airport or what it will have in it (great idea by the way), we could all plot out our own designs for the airport (AFCAD, photoshop, MS Paint, whatever) and perhaps decide on the best parts of each and include them on this one big SimV airport? Just an idea - what are your thoughs on it?

I like that idea. Let's see what the others say.  :)

Here's something I quickly threw together which I'll add to the melting pot...



It has two runways - the grass one is 4000ft  x 50ft, and the asphalt one is 7000ft x 200 so the airport caters for larger and smaller aircraft. There are also two aprons - the main asphalt one for civil jets and a grass one for the GA aircraft. The asphalt apron has two heavy gates (top right of apron), three medium ones (two next to the heavy gates and one in middle left), three small gates and a cargo apron (bottom left). The grass ramp has 5 large parking areas, six small parking areas and four medium parking.

Here it is with the lights (not very clear, but you get the general idea):



I don't know how to place buildings in FS9, but I've circled the areas where terminal buildings could sit here:



What do you chaps think?

[FSGT Gabe]

Looks nice Cspyro...I guess the question is whether we want a conventional airport design (like yours) or a radical one (like mine)...Which does everyone prefer?  Personally I'd like to have a very "different" airport for the V...but that's just my opinion...
