Missing Airfield from Italy map?

Hi,

I am currently trying to build an seow based on the Italy map.

I believe that I have noticed an airfiled missing from the database.

The airbase is located in I15 the nearest town being Villa Franca.

It is a "green" strip but does not look like a tempory one.

Am I correct?

If so, it has 2 runways. I have plotted a plane taking off and landing from each runway, gone into the .mis file and got the following co-ordinates

take off# 1 : 88921.62 142293.44
Landing #1: 87295.92 142284.73

take off# 2 : 88743.14 142173.48
landing #2 : 87099.88 142173.55

Both planes took off heading east and landed heading east.

You could be right - I have noticed that some of the airbase layout identifications for Italy are shaky too.

Is it just a case of adding it into my database with the co-ordinates
generated?

I guess I also have to work out what airfield type to give it? I have d/l the airbase document so it will just be a matter of finding the layout to match.

That's right, that's all you have to do. Please post your new airbase record once you have it sorted out.

S` Shades,
Can we add 2 runways for the one base? In the database I notice Memel, on the Kurland map is the same type (Type 23) but only has one record for t/off and landing coordinates.

Neg, unfortunately each airbase in SEOW can only support a single set of takeoff and landing coords, regardless of how many runways there are on the ground.

In the database I thought that there were 2 fields for each x and y. I took this to be for the two runways

What are the four fields for then please?

Hi Frior,
The 4 values required are the x & y values for the takeoff point and the x & y values for the landing point. You have to select which one of your two runways you want to use as the "official" runway and use those coordinates.

The header part from an sql query looks like;

Code: Select all

insert into Airbases (`Airbase_Name`,`Map`,`Airbase_Type`,`ATC_Mode`,`Takeoff_X`,`Takeoff_Y`,`Landing_X`,`Landing_Y`,`Station`,`Control`) values

Hope this helps

Cheers

It looks a lot like Memel Airbase in Kurland, so try this:

Villa Franca Field Italy 23 normal 88921.62 142293.44 87295.92 142284.73 n 0
