RUNWAYS 35L/17R & 35R/17L AND AI TRAFFIC
Additional to the main runway (35C/17C) Graz features two grass strips left and right of the main runway.
Both can be used by the user as well as AI traffic. Runway 35L/17R is mostly used for gliding, parachuting
and small GA activity while runway 35R/17L is used by GA aircraft parked on the south apron GA parkings,
but also by the 'Luftrettung' helicopter based at the new yellow hangar south of the aviation museum.
In order for FSX/P3D AI traffic to use all 3 runways in a realistic fashion we needed to assign different ICAO
codes (LOWG/LOG1/LOG2) to all runways and assign unique parking spots to each of them. We included
traffic files for default FSX/P3D aircraft to make plenty of use of all runways so you should have quite a lot
of GA traffic and touch-and-go's on both grass runways.
You can use all 3 runways as well. Just make sure you select LOG1 or LOG2 in the aircraft / AirTraffic menu if
you want to use runways 35R/17R or 35L/17R.
If you have any questions on how to use the runways or want to know more about the technical details on
how/why AI aircraft use different runways don't hesitate to contact us or post on our support forum (see
above).
MILITARY AREA AND AVIATION MUSEUM
Another curiosity (apart from the three runways) at Graz Thalerhof is the former military base in the west
of the airport. It was closed 2008 and can't be accessed via the still existing taxiway Y because of the fence.
You can still take a look at the huge hangars and facilities for the Eurofighter jets that were based here for
several years.
At the eastern part of the airport, between the maintenance hangars and the Luftrettung hangar you can
easily spot the aviation museum (Österreichisches Luftfahrtmuseum) with a considerable collection of
historic aircraft. We included most of the models in the scenery like the Saab 29, the Mirage III, the famous
Antonov An-2 or the huge Transall C-160. Just like the real aircraft you will not be able to fly them, though.
