Untill today the four diehards have signed up for the next leg of the Tropic Traders Tour! If all stays the same, we'll be flying WATO to WAAT on Wednesday the 30th at 19:00 houres Zulutime.
As usual I took some time to prepare the route. First of all - I'm the owner of just a VFR-chart of the BENELUX - I explored Skyvectors to set out the route and found out that WAAT is not recognized. No problem, that happens all the time, especially when it concernes small airfields. The second and to my opinion more reliable source is Ourairports.com! Makale airport (WAAT) is known... 4.4nm SSE of WAWT (Pongtiku airport). Zooming in on the mapview, no airfield, airstrip is found. Maybe Makale is ressorting under Pongtiku airport! The third source, Aviationtools, tells me different: WAAT and WAWT are two different airports, with different locations!
FSX shows only WAWT.
Problem?.... no problem at all! Just created an airstrip, platform and some local buildings and hangars! Makale airport excists from now on! Who said that the world isn't makeable. The question remains and perhaps will be answered when arriving to Makale airport, will Flightlogger except this destination or not. If not, Pongtiku is just 4.4nm further away and perhaps within F
lightloggers range?
I hope this doesn't cause that much trouble as WATO did... or was it WRKO! :-\
Meet you again next Wednesday on Mumble!

This airport changed ICAO codes between FS9 and FSX, and never got upddated in X-Plane. ;)
FS9: WAAT
FSX: WAWT
XP9: WAAT
XP10: WAAT
Airport name in all sims is Pongtiku, in the "city" of Pongtiku :)
(Same situation with WATO: only WRKO in FSX)
So there is no need for additional scenery packages; the airport exists in all sims, under different names, maybe. And Flight Logger, should be able to handle the ICAO aliasing correctly.
EHM-2758 Peter:

See you then guys!
