    Description

    Hey,

    I started making this pack after I saw the "Latécoère 631 Commercial Flight Plans" by OTBU

    While it was first intended for the Laté631 operations, I plan on expanding this pack in the future, with other hydrobases just as the ones used by the B314 Clipper.

    I added random ICAO, matching the country identification, please tell me if there is any conflicts.

    DISCLAIMER: This is ONLY "Runways", no custom buildings or anything.

    All names are those used back in the days. ie: Port Etienne, now it's Nouadhibou.

    Hello! In MSFS24 Dinner Key (KDK1) ENHANCED SCENERY has an icon of a common airport while its a hydroport. Its scenery looks not good (spiked and messy ground textures) . Also there's a graphics bug on the world map when zoom in to this port. Could you please fix or remove it at all?

    Hey, sorry for the issue, sadly I don't have FS24 (I have it, but not the PC for it lol). I will ask a friend if he can fix it and reexport with FS24 SDK ! hopefully he can do it soon!

    As a reference, the runway setting for Batavia was set to 'concrete' instead of 'water.' A huge rectangular concrete structure has appeared on the water.

    @Flymob Fixed and updated, the issue was that I gave la Rochelle the same ICAO as Les Hourtiquet ;)

    Also making the Lac de Vers-sur-Marne, will be uploaded later tonight (as "Fictional Hydrobase" package)

    Great !
    What about Paris vincinity ?
    A ficticious hydrobase such at "Bassin de champ fleuri" between cities of Chelles and Champs-sur-Marne in east suburbs to load city of light parisian passagers ?

    I spend some time to land and take-off from there with the "Laté" but fed up to use slew mode to place the plane...

    Hi!

    Well this project is only for hydrobases that existed back then, but I can make the "Lac de Vaires-sur-Marne" if you want :) (it will be another upload, since it's fictionnal, but can lead to a future pack of fictional bases if you have more ideas)
    FlymobSupporter

    almost 2 years ago

    Yes that's it Lac de Vaires sur Marne, funny in LittleNavMap it is named Bassin de Champ Fleuri... Definitely have more hydrobases even ficticious is a plus for our big flying boat to ensure a better landing process and visit the world.
    Personnaly I intend to experiment the "Ligne Noguès" Paris-Saïgon with the "Laté" (perhaps one day we will get a Dewoitne 520,,,). My father came from Viet-Nam to France in Constellation (quite expensive on market) 70 years ago a long journey. Your hydrobases will help greatly to build my flight plans
    Thanks a lot
