wbunnell Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I have a several listings of Russian Military Air Force Installations, but no ICAO’s. Need ICAO codes to modify airfields, I cannot find any. In Afcad an ADE they list Russian cities, but no indication of Military Installations. Does anyone know where to look to find the ICAO’S?

il88pp Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I usually type the name of the city plus the word icao into google. Bremen icao Gives me EDDW pretty quickly. (Not sure if it's that easy for Russia though. With russian spellings and all.) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leuen Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 In Afcad an ADE they list Russian cities, but no indication of Military Installations. Tools like Afcad and AFX list the cities by countries. Clicking on a city all airports an ICAO codes are shown linked with the city name. Of course, it requires a lot of time.

ftldave Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Many, if not most, of Russian airbases will not have an ICAO designation. Got to remember the Soviet Union and, now, Russia has a long history and culture of secrets and minimal information sharing. They didn't want their military air fields to have IATA/ICAO designations. A good example is Engels Air Base, their biggest, most important strategic bomber base, that has neither IATA or ICAO codes. You're probably only going to find joint-use civilian/military airports in Russia will have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leuen Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 For my project to create a Soviet military traffic of 1960 I had to found more than 340 air bases including actual ICAO codes inside and outside Soviet Union. Up to now there are 43 for which I couldn't found any scenery. Maybe there are some of these in the recent releases of several regions. It isn't that hard as you might think. You just need to invest enough time. BTW, Engels has a code XWSG. Bernard Visit "The Old Hangar Forum" Visit "FS9 Vintage Flying Forum" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftldave Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 BTW, Engels has a code XWSG. XWSG isn't really an ICAO code, but a practical translation of a code the Russians use within their own borders. But, close enough for flight sim. Using the actual Russian identifier with Cyrillic "Ь" wouldn't work in MSFS flight planners, would it? From the Wiki: The letters I, J and X are not currently used as the first letter of any ICAO identifier. In Russia and CIS, Latin letter X (or its Morse/Baudot Cyrillic equivalent Ь) is used to designate government, military and experimental aviation airfields in internal airfield codes similar in structure and purpose to ICAO codes but not used internationally.

tiger1962 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 There are quite a few "X" airfields ready-made here in the FS2004 Scenery library by Andrey Anta, he's covering Russia region-by-region: https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/fslib.php?searchid=40779355 Tim Wright "The older I get, the better I was..."

Of the 300 FS9 airports used as former Soviet air bases, 95 are coded with "X". Finally it doesn't matter whether these are ICAO or FS specific codes. Most important is to find the right place.
