Classic British Flight Sim

Hi All

Just having a fly around in Rick's JP, and after an aborted landing at EGQL I randonly headed to the south Neuk of Fife, where on approach I thought I had installed some sort of 'mystical lines' - but no it is apparentlt M$ representation on Crail, IE several runways laid out as a star, giving virtually a clockface appearance. Anyone noticed this before? Where on earth did MS get the data for that? Anyone know of real-life airfields like this?

*Posted this in CBFS as I was flying a JP, and technically Crail is a CB airfield

Hi Jim,

Don't know what you found, but I started the sim - go to Crail (EGOA) and got this: -



No afcad found for it though

Nice caravan site there Graham Will go and have a look as it must have got there somehow

Here it is....






I've not installed anything by the name 'Crail' or any Scotflight stuff

Ah.. EG0A (as in zero). I wondered what the heck had happened when I couldn't find one Jim.. M$ do that sort of thing every now and again. If you pop down to Cornwall.. look just south of Culdrose and you'll find a very similar rendition of ex RNAS Predannack :roll: They're dotted all over the place ;-)

Cheers Dave xsmile

Must admit, new to me - can't imagine (given the time I fly around the area) why I didn't see it before

Graham, I would be careful about parking up at the real Crail airfield with the amount of Boy Racers that congregate there of an evening - you may find the Cessna with a larg wind slammer, blacked out windows, low profile tyres and some old bean cans on the exhaust pipe xwink

Did a search on Google Earth and came up with this.





Is this the one Jim?

Hi Graham

Yip, that's it xwink

There's a much better aerial pic on local live :flying:

Don't some US airfields have that layout? I tried landing at the MS Crail once but found that the runways were narrower than the Sea Fury's wingspan. HELP

Best wishes

That's probably where they've got it from Steve
