"IKAROS" airport

[Matt Wynn]

Roger... uploading this to SoH library now... excuse the poor quality, i'm on a 6 year old rig that refuses to do what it's told and theres no replacement PC in sight for me yet...

 

[Dimus]

Nice!!!

Wish I could actually fly that one. I'll settle for the virtual one for now...

 

[Matt Wynn]

so wheres next Dimus? LG01 (Μεσολόγγι)? a nice smallish place right near the Rion-Antirion bridge... in fact that bloomin' bridge needs making... such an iconic bridge and it's missing...

shame i cant really run FSX or i'd get that bridge made... but i do wonder if it ports from the FS2004 HSP Base Scenery......

Attractive looking scenery here. Thanks for your contribution. BTW, the grass looks cut so somebody should probably move that lawnmower

 

[W. Bleddyn]

It's a great little airport! I took my favourite sightseeing plane for a few circuits.

There's still some left around the edges. The real one:

The bush and entrance cover on the terminal main gate have been added after these shots.

You're giving me ideas there Smoothie. That bridge can't be so hard to make. I happen to work for the company that certified the construction and I might be able to find drawings. It could go well with an Agrinion airfield scenery.

First though I will make the small "Papadopoulos" ultralight field just 2 miles north of "Ikaros".

I'm very glad you guys are enjoying this.

 

[Matt Wynn]

yeah i almost forgot about that ultralight field, theres a lot missing from Greece that is so iconic... some things like Meteora, the Rion-Antirion bridge heck at a push Rhodes Harbour and Nisyros... the latter there being a dormant volcano right next to 'home' for me, Kos... and the less said about the lanclasses the better

but i do love that bridge, especially at night and when looking from about half a mile to a mile away on the shoreline... a pic that demonstrates my point below...

 

[Dimus]

You're making this too hard for me to resist... OK I'll start the research.

For Rodos check this out:

There are more stuff for Greece from GAP but most are for FS9.

 

[Matt Wynn]

yup i still use my FS9 mostly, don't yet have a PC capable of running FSX how i'd like to so it gets neglected...

my FS9 has mostly photoreal covering the Dodecanese and Ionian, MIGHT try to see if they match up well to X as nisyros look bang on the money...
