Old Airports, in XP11
• in_Swedish
| Airports in the 1930s-1940s had much less equipment than modern airports
- less lighting and simpler runways and taxiways. When we want to fly vintage style, we need simplified airports. Here a collection of important airfields in southern Sweden, Norway, and Denmark (Finland will be added later). XP11-sceneries made by Leif Ohlsson, Gothenburg, for his travel tales with DC-3 in XP11: "Recreating historical flights with Aeroworx DC-3" Read them at x-plane.org forum (Links to be added!) Maps added by Bo Ju, who also made Jönköping AD in XP11. See also: • Airports on the Route Stockholm-Åland-Finland, GT (not XP11 yet) |
zip-files We recommend to combine with Light beacons and Street&LightsOff-sceneries. Vintage airports: • ES_1940s_Airports_v1.0_20190511.zip - Not ready - Night Mail Flight scenery: Light beacons, NDBs,... • ES_Old_Beacons_ver2019b.zip |
List of airports in current set. Tips: Select airport in XP11: write "1940s"
