Qballbandit Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Good morning, After being absent from FS for a few years, I can't remember where I used to download airport diagrams and approach charts from. Can someone recommend a site that has these goodies? SIDS & STARS are a bonus, but doing mostly low-n-slow GA flying these days. Thanks very much, Neil :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulfar Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Neil; You might try Flightaware.com. I know they have approach & departure procedures for US airports and probably also have airport diagrams. Certainly worth a look. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lavochkin Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Here is FAA website where you can download sids and stars and airport diagrams. http://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/flight_info/aeronav/digital_products/dtpp/search/ Only for the US.

PhantomTweak Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Another great site is AirNav. it has great detail, you can make and save flight plans, every thing. I use it all the time. Pat☺ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Had a thought...then there was the smell of something burning, and sparks, and then a big fire, and then the lights went out! I guess I better not do that again!

shanwick Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Why not just do a Google for "[insert name of airport here] AIP"? That's what I do and I get the charts I need in 99% of cases. Dijvid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old_wombat Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 That certainly works for Australian airports! The very first Google hit is Air Services Australia, which is the government body responsible for AIPs. Steve from Murwilllumbah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyDaveIowa Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 In the library search for FSX Airport Chart Gauge. Read the comments, there is a specific way to build the data base. A link to the method is there too.

Hi Steve I recently replayed a DC-3 cockpit CD I bought many years ago featuring VH-MIN of Dakota Air Services. I noticed that it was filmed at Mudgee airport!!

old_wombat Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 You don't say! We've been in town for over six years now and I have never seen a DC-3 at our airport. The biggest (and loudest) I've seen is the occasional C-130 Hercules from nearby RAAF Richmond. My wife and I have both on separate occasions been in the various DC-3s of Dakota Air at their home base on the NSW Central Coast. I don't particularly like it. The plasticiser "smell" from that vintage vinyl fake leather makes me extremely nauseous. But my wife absolutely loves these old planes, and a husband's gotta do what he's gotta do ...

shanwick Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Yep, I do say!! Just looked at the CD box and it was copyrighted in 2004. Never been in a DC-3 myself so can't comment on the "smell". However, my cat's litter tray is in the room where I do my flight simming so I'll leave you to imagine what my Beech Baron smells like :p Dijvid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
