The page has three parts:
- Undocumented airfields and interesting objects
- Directory of cities and places
- Instructions how to jump directly to a location in Flight Simulator 2020 using the bold coordinates.
The listed departure airfields are suggestions, of course you can also start at any other airfield. By clicking on the link "Route" the direct route from the airfield to the target is displayed in SkyVector (skyvector.com). If necessary, however, control zones, restricted areas etc. must be flown around.
Points of Interest in Bavaria (Bayern)
Amberg: Former Army Airfield
Former US Army airfield, closed today. In Flight Simulator the old hangar exists as a building, but the former runway is covered with trees, so it is no longer usable. The landscape as a whole looks wintery.
Ansbach: Katterbach Army Heliport (ETEB)
The US Army heliport Ansbach-Katterbach is currently (August 2020) not designed as an airfield in Flight Simulator 2020 and cannot be selected. However, runway, taxiways and parking facilities are shown as ground texture. The bold coordinates will take you there, see intructions at the bottom of this page.
