• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

What ICAO name for a US air base in France 1950 - 1967 ?

Hello !
I am trying to do a project on an American air base in France, between 1952 and 1967 : Dreux Air Base. I found on the internet a plan at 1/5000 and the historical approach and aérodromes charts, with the LFOX location indicator.

Currently, this ICAO code is assigned to a very real aérodrome, and well materialized in MSFS.

I did not find an ICAO assigned by USAFE for Dreux Air Base.

I gave the project the ICAO "USAFE" which is accepted by MSFS.

If I write, it may be to find out if someone somewhere knows what the ICAO given by USAFE was.

Or give me an idea for an ICAO.

Question : will an ICAO with K make MSFS put the project physically in the USA ?

Regards,
Marc
 
Hello Marc,

J'ai eu le même souci avec Grostenquin ... Et tu ne dois pas dépasser 4 lettres pour ton code ICAO.
A force de chercher, je me suis aperçu que la lettre 'M' n'était jamais utilisée en 2ème position et pourrait très bien indiquer 'Militaire' dans le code, d'où mon choix de 'LMGT' pour Grostenquin !
Pour Dreux, essaye donc 'LMDR' par exemple, ce code n'existe pas dans P3D, donc je pense qu'il est également libre sans MSFS.

Actually you can use 5 characters for the ID, but Devmode forces 4. But 5 compiles just fine, and shows up fine in the sim. I suggested to Asobo to increase the number to 8 or even 16, but as with most requests, it falls on deaf ears.
