Anyone have an interest in things "down under?"
I have TTs for Ansett and Trans-Australian for 1975. Anyone interested in coding them? Note: on both of these there is no differentiation between 727 and DC-9. Each airline used both types and they are merely listed as JET.
I've also got Air New Zealand, same year, but I should be able to knock that one out myself.

Sure would be nice to have "period" flightplans for them, but unfortunately I know nothing about coding them. Some of us are just "paint" guys.  I also just finished a 1960's Air New Zealand DC-8 that's pretty nice. |

I actually have both Ansett and TAA mostly coded. Maybe I'll do them after BOAC, since there's interest. Both timetables are from the 1970's, I don't recall the years right off the bat.
Take care,
Kurt

Excellent!
Then I won't bother with these Aussies. I'll still do Air New Zealand 1975 unless someone is working on that as well. But I want to do my Latin airlines first.
I'm really looking foward to your BOAC and I think you mentioned TWA. Those two will add major realism to the 1970's skies (and tarmacs).

I'm thinking someone said they have TWA nearly completed, so I was thinking of something else to do after BOAC, and those two Australian carriers will do nicely.
Take care,
Kurt

Take care, Kurt You're right, Kurt, it was RPM who is nearly finished with TWA. Well, I'm still looking forward to it. Wow, BOAC and TWA coming soon! Great!!! Andy |

Hi,
I just submitted TAA for 1961, but it is an abridged version with only "major" airports listed. I think that's OK, because 90% of the minor airports not listed are not used as default AI airports anyway (mostly in the outback and on New Guinea).
Hope this helps,

Hope this helps, But if anyone wants to take on the task, it can be done - I converted Chisashibi Airport in Northern Quebec to AI-capable for Nordair. I did it because in '73, Val D'Or-Chisashibi was their last DC-3 route and since I'd gone to the trouble to paint the plane, I had to make sure it would be seen flying...  |

Hi, Yeah, if anyone wants to convert the 30 or so remote airports not listed in my TAA timetable, I'll look for a complete version. And most of the planes used were smaller than a DC-3, so those will need to be created and painted too. Take care, |

That does bring up a good point... the flightplans I almost have ready for 1970's Ansett and TAA only include 727, DC-9, and F-27 flights. And I'm going to have to simply divide the jet flights in half between DC-9 and 727 since they aren't specified.
Take care,
Kurt
