Classic British Flight Sim

Spotted some debate on the ORB-X boards asking what that "T" thing is on the ground at Compton Abbas (and other GA airports) and found this in response....

I'm guessing that most folk here know this but while I used to know this stuff (Air Scout Air Apprentice badge, I think... ), I'd forgotten some of the details, so contributed for those with an interest.

the T is the direction of landing IIRC

John - thanks for that info. I'd seen these squares in screenshots of Orbx airfields and seen a couple of posts on the subject. I hadn't really understood what they meant or how they worked but your link explains it all perfectly.

Dont use them in sim ..... low res.

Providing you are at joining height, do they give you a Green Aldis from the lantern when its clear to land?
Keith

No, no flares if you try to land with your wheels up either (what film was that ?).

As real as it gets??? Pah!!

The Battle of Britain if memory serves John

Faulty landing gear switch sir? Yes Sergeant.. can you check it please. Will do sir! I know that's not the correct wording but it's along those lines

I've said this so many times, I'd better abbreviate.......ILSED from this forum!
