===Dubai gets busy=== | |||
After looking jealously at the greatly enhanced airport Schiphol ([[EHAM]]) and the latest highlight Gatwick (EGKK) Mike [[User:D-SKY1|(D-SKY1)]] decided to create [[Interactive_Traffic|interactive traffic]] for Dubai International Airport (OMDB). Based on the existing airport layout in FlightGear the traffic pattern for taxiing between gates and runways and a timetable for runway usage have been created. Although no nice modelwork is done (yet) a big bunch of scheduled flights is now added to this important hub in middle east. As OMDB is home port for Emirates Airlines (UAE) only Emirates flights are included. Within the next weeks more schedule flights for AI traffic for OMDB will be added. During the process of creating AI traffic he tried to stay as close as possible to the real life timetable for Dubai International Airport querying several sources for double checking. | |||
As Emirates Airlines is one of the most important customers for the Airbus A380 (UAE just ordered another 30 units of A380) the Emirates Airlines livery has been added to AI aircrafts. | |||
Additionally some minor errors in several traffic files concerning changed [[ICAO]] codes for some airports have been removed. | |||
All changes are available via GIT from now on. | |||
Enjoy the enhancements and always follow SIDs and STARs to prevent collisions ;) | |||
