Hi all

It's my first attempt at a scenery, but I think it has turned out well - I will issue an update when I've leaned how to change the coastline.

But this CPH airport should be just right for your BEA Comet 4B, Trident 2, etc.

The old 1950's terminal is included, so there is room for the Vickers Viking as well!

Best regards

Jens

This is excellent - are you sure itâ€™s your first attempt?
Thinking back to the response to a 1960's Heathrow release, I'm amazed that you haven't been flooded with replies from CBFS - I can only assume, they're all caught up in the floods.
My only small concern, is trying to park 'nose out' from the terminal - the turn is very tight.

Many thanks for your hard work.

Regards

Kevin

Hi Garry

But surprisingly little was said Thinking

That's because it is on the VA section and not everybody belongs to it.

It is a very nice scenery, although there are some issues with the AI planes and parking slots. Further info at http://www.calclassic.com/cgi-bin/yabb/ ... 1185019580

I don't think there is 'an issue'. I think he activated the scenery two times.

best regards

In the real world the turn was very tight as well, often requiring full deflection of the steering tiller to turn the airplane. Sadly FS's inability to simulate sidewall forces and traction doesn't help this. The other big problem is many aircraft don't have properly setup contact points and nose gear castor so it is even less able to replicate the real-world turning radius, making maneuvering in the old turning spots even more difficult than it should be.

Hi Jens

Sorry about that! I haven't seen anything wrong with the AI traffic. And, again, many thanks for the wonderful scenery.

Best Regards

Thanks for the replies guys,

I agree with Ricardo, I almost never look past 'Escorts and Stewards'.

Chris,

Thanks for the explanation - still difficult to manoeuvre in FS9.
