The [[FS Weekend]] is the largest flight simulator event in the world. Each year it takes place at the first or second weekend of November, this years event is held at '''7 and 8 November'''. The event is held in the Aviodrome musuem, located at [[Lelystad Airport]], the Netherlands. Since 2006 FlightGear has been represented each year, by a small team of enthusiastics, and this year will be no exception.

===Airport Diagram Generator=== | |||
Every wondered how pilots know what exit to take on the runway, how to get from the gate to the runway and how the tower can tell them what route to follow? Well, they use maps, like you and I use in daily life when we need to find an adress. Instead of streetnames, the run- and taxiways have numbers and a letter of the alphabet (eg. 28L, S1). | |||
The [[Airport Diagram Generator]] is a Java application capable of generating [[:Category:Airports|airport]] diagrams using FlightGear data only. These diagrams are [[GNU GPL]] and can be used for all kinds of purposes whether you are [[ATC]]ing or flying. The diagrams contain a schematic layout of the airport (taxiways and runways), ([[ILS]]) frequencies, navaids and so on. | |||
