The Fifth Runway Sunday (KATL) {5/19 2100z-0100z}
« on: April 13, 2019, 03:27:13 PM »

Atlanta has a special fifth runway that is hidden on the south side of the airport. This beautiful slab of concrete is used a lot in the real world, however on VATSIM it does not get as much love as it should. So between 2100z-0100z (5pm-9pm ET) on May 19, 2019, we are going to try to change that; Atlanta will use 28/10 as its primary runway for departures and arrivals. Most sims will not have this runway by default. To be able to use runway 10/28, these are some sceneries that you could use:

FSX/P3D: Freeware: https://library.avsim.net/download.php?DLID=195841 (AVSIM Library account required)
P3Dv4 Only: Payware: https://imaginesim.net/product/katl-atlanta-p3d/
X-Plane 11: Payware: https://store.x-plane.org/KATL--Atlanta-International_p_365.html
X-Plane 11: Freeware: https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/28877-katl-hartsfield-jackson-atlanta-international-airport/

If you are unable to use runway 10/28, please note that in your remarks.

Why would you punish the flying public so?

A clever marketing ploy to get us all to update our scenery.

Runway 10/28 is a punishment? Why? It's always a primary runway...

The freeware FSX scenery does not work on P3Dv4, to fix it, throw the bgl into ADE, click lists, then taxi links, then hit the reset button. Now re-compile the scenery using the SDK and you should be good to go

X-Plane 11 default scenery comes with runway 10/28.

KATL was last updated in the X-Plane Scenery Gateway in Dec 2018 by Litjan.

It is a excellent scenery for KATL, its free & you get it by default.
