Burkhard 21 Report post Posted September 13, 2011 New runway at EDDF would be nice :wink: That is very easy to fullfill now :lol: There is a general problem with EDDF layout for FSX AI traffic logic, though. New 7l/26R is landing only, and no problem at all. 18 is departure only. New now is 7C/26C departure only, 7R/26L landing only - and this does not work in FSX. The start locations of the 7C/26C both are nearer to practically ALL parking positions than the 18, so 80% of the departures go over the C and only few over the 18. As consequence, aircraft that land on the 7R/26L never can cross the C - and are killed after some time. Even if I change the c to be landing - then the aircraft initially can taxi to the gate, but big clouds of aircraft that want to cross the C then pile up and a big congestions closes both main runways after 15 minutes or so. Anybody who has some skills with ADE wants to experiment with it to find the best solution? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ian P 10 Report post Posted September 16, 2011 I've tried and not fathomed it yet. I think you need to add an area of terrain mesh, rather than just having the flatten, but the tools that I tried to make mesh with were... well. Failure is too polite. Far too polite. Ian P.

kagazi 0 Report post Posted September 16, 2011 What is the real world runway ops for EDDF? If 7C/25C is active for takeoff only and AI landing 7R/25L are landing and unable to cross 7C/25C there are a couple of work arounds. The preferred fix for FSX would be similar to KLAS. In that example 7L/25R is set for takeoff only. When AI land on 7R/25L there are three "diamond" crossings that allow AI to cross 7L/25R without regard to whether 7L/25R is locked. In this regard you could add two or three "overlay" or "diamond" crossings to EDDF that would serve the same purpose. The drawback is that AI would be crossing the active runway. Careful placement of the crossings will help to minimize this effect. I think it's a better option compared to the "piling" up effect. The other option would be to clip (close) the inner exits and force AI down the runway to exits that do not cross the active. The drawback here is longer taxi time to the end of the runway, which could result in more "go-arounds" on 7R/25L. I also noticed from the bgl that 7C/25C is missing all approaches. I'm assuming this was by design? If it's used for takeoff only then it doesn't matter. I've never created an Island, but this discussion may be of some help. http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9161 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ian P 10 Report post Posted September 16, 2011 That's exactly what I tried before, kagazi, with exactly the same result as I have had every other time I have tried to "create" an island where there isn't one in the default mesh... Welcome to "zero island" (so called because it is at 0N/S, 0E/W, off the African coast...) - the landclass is "forest park", chosen to differentiate it from the default desert/beach texture and show that the landclass is actually being picked up. Note, of interest, the nice wake behind the seaplane as it lands on the... green water?!? The island, as always, looks very nice, but the underlying surface isn't "hardened", it's water. Ian P.

Burkhard 21 Report post Posted January 2, 2012 a good chart gives a good airport, it contains details like taxi way names, exact dimensions, and with taxiway names you can place the taxiway signs. So it is worth to search for one. Google gives some references to http://www.caa.co.za/resource%20center/AIP's/Charts/S032-10%20Charts/FALE_AD-01.pdf but I cannot access this.

Ian P 10 Report post Posted May 15, 2012 Kobe island, or Indonesian islands? The big problem I found with islands wasn't creating them (once I'd fathomed the issue with landclass...) but the fact that they tended to be flat as a pancake and I couldn't find a program that actually worked, with instructions, to allow me to create a mesh for them. A hardened model may actually be the best idea, for a small island, at least. Ian P. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Burkhard 21 Report post Posted May 16, 2012 Creation of an island in the middle of the ocean is a simple thing maybe, but these airports are all in extremly complex shore areas, with hundreds of bays and islands. The new terminal in Frankfurt is expected to open in 2014. If EDDB opens before that date remains to be seen, every day now new details that most items are far from complete, and this was known siince month, and the responsibles have lied knowing the facts since long, creating millions of unnecessary costs... LH has proposed to open now for the winter schedule beginning of November, which would be too late for version 5.4b. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
