Together with Farnborough the Paris Air Show - also known as Salon du Bourget - is the greatest aviation exhibition in the world. I tried to reproduce this show as it was in 1961.
Initially I had three posibilities to place the aircraft where they really were:
- either create an separate Afcad with parking codes for each AI. But these codes should be added to aircraft.cfg too. And the code line consider just one entry. Also there isn't any warranty that aircraft will respect parking codes.
- or converting the aircraft to static objects. Regarding the hugh number it would be a pharaonic work.
- or creating an Afcad for each aircraft, which would allow an exact positioning. And that's what I finally have done. An Afcad with parking und runway of 100 ft for each aircraft - forty four totally! I think that has never been before with FS. Anyway the show is normally deactivated for daily traffic.
Here how the static aircraft exhibition looked like (repaints might not be historically acccurate of course):
Some aircraft are missing - like the French Hurlet-Dubois, the DHC U1-A and the Kaman Huskie among few other. BTW, adding to much people will inevitably cause a CTD!
