This wiki page lists all information required for participants to the FSweekend and the EHAM Historic Multiplayer event.

Flight Information

Charts

All charts that you may have to use on your flights are available at http://ais-netherlands.nl (AIS Publications > Integrated Package). Please note that these are the most up to date charts available, so certain situations might not have been changed in FlightGear (EHAM, EHLE and EHVK taxiways should be correct though).

Frequencies

TODO

Weather information

Weather information can be found at the KNMI (Dutch Meteological institute) website.

  • METAR current weather at airports
  • TAF expected weather at airports

Scenery

Martin is generating new scenery for the Netherlands at the moment, including the new airport layouts (EHAM, EHLE, EHVK). The scenery will include OSM data of the following shapefiles:

  • motorway
  • trunk
  • drain
  • river
  • canal

EHAM Historic Multiplayer event

Since the organizers of the event have requested to consider the commemoration of 100 years of powered flight in the Netherlands, our idea is to have a historic aircraft gathering at "Schiphol-oost", the eastern tarmac of EHAM (parking positions A11 to A31), that runs along the 04/22 runway. We will probably keep running AI traffic at EHAM during the event, which will be using the other five runways, so all multiplayer aircraft should be using runway 04/22 for arrival and departure.

Public opening hours will be between 10.00 and 17.00 CET (09.00 and 16.00 UTC), so ideally that should be the time with most multiplayer activity.

All liveries can be found at FlightGear Liveries, but a package containing all Netherlands related liveries will be provided soon.
