Lebanese Road airfield of Halat

[Bremspropeller]

Do you guys see a way to create an "official" road airfield in the city of Halat, based on the historical one (abandonned in the early 90s)?

nullNote the Falcon 50 parked next to the Aeronavale Etendard IVP (16F, Aircraft no. 117) that landed on this road airfield in November 1983.

Right now, the area looks like this:

General vicinity.

Looking north-south at roundabout the position of the photos above, showing the northern runway threshold.

Looking south-north - somewhat similar to the position of the very first picture, but at a higher angle.

I think building the roadbase could generally be feasible and it would be cool and quirky. What do you guys think?

As for having the map show the area with the runway markings, etc - besides a mod, I think this would need to be done by the devs. The good news though is that the Dev's are very active when it comes to updating Syria - it's the best map by far in DCS - so there's hopefully a good chance that they will be able to accommodate this into the map natively.

I think it's a great suggestion and hope the Dev's take this on board! 

As for now - if you place a FARP there (or invisible FARP) along with the 4 units required for a FARP to run, you can land a plane along the road, taxi up to the FARP and you will have the options available to you (rearm, refuel, etc) - so you can have it functional, but the dividers down the road will make things very difficult.

Edit: hmm... does scenery remove also remove divides and powerpoles from Roads? If so - a small script could be all that's needed to make this quite usable as is - without the road textures being changed.

Looks like it's long gone.
