DOL Kliniska

Post by hawk_sh »

My next project is something that was in my mind for quite a long time, though I did not expect to end up in Poland.
I is a highway strip, in Polish Drogowy Odcinek Lotniskowy.
During my research regarding the Polish Su-22s I found several photos of Fitters and other Polish Air Force jets operating from highway strips during exercises. These exercises were cunducted regularly until 2003 utilizing the highway strip east of Szczecin in the northwest of Poland - DOL Kliniska.

"... a 2 kilometer long and 16 meter wide stretch of national highway in a forest clearing of 60 meters wide.
The center of the runway was strong enough to carry a 30 tonne aircraft. ..."
(from http://www.forgottenairfields.com/polan ... -s627.html)

More information about DOL Kliniska including some nice videos can be found here:
http://www.forgottenairfields.com/polan ... -s627.html
http://theaviationist.com/tag/highway-strip/
There is also a 1970s Polish movie featuring flight operations on this highway strip.


DOL Kliniska was recently reopend in flight simulator....

I have not found any evidence that transport aircraft operated from DOL Kliniska in the past.
However the Polish Air Force C-295s should be easily capable to do so. I added three parking spots for them.

I do believe this is the first time someone has done a highway strip. Those screenshots look great. Well done.

Looking pretty damn cool, Hartwig. I have a faint hope of doing something similar for the highway stretch used by the Belarussian Air Force some day. Su-25, Su-27, MiG-29 and apparently also An-26 have all been seen doing landings and takeoffs there.

Are you using a custom texture for the 'runway' (if you will)? Or are you using 4 taxiways, each with one solid edge line and and one striped edge line, to mimick the highway markings?

You are right, the 'runway' is made of an apron with four taxiways on top to mimick the highway marking.
The piano keys on each end of the runway are also made of individual taxiways with 'ice' surface.
The runway object itself is only about one meter wide and hidden between the highway markings in the middle.

It took quite some time to align everything and make it look as it is now.

Ah, I've been playing around with it a bit, and it's one of those things where thinking it up is easier than putting it into practice. Very clever idea with the piano keys, I might have to steal that :D

Unfortunately due to their FS98 style absolutely unsuitable.

Some time ago it did this Swiss highway strip used beginning Seventies and located on highway A1 between Oensingen and Egerkingen.
