I have a request for the developers: could you remove the middle plastic cones that separate the two runways of Hahnweide so to unificate them and make a single wider grass runway? In real life the runway is single, or at least so seem from many YouTube videos of Hahnweide old timers air festival. Please check this thing out.
Hahnweide plastic cones
-
Look at Hahnweide in Google Earth, it is near Kircheim unter Teck.
Runways in the flight sims always seem (edit bold type) to be far, far smaller than they are in real life.(edit that is, a visual illusion) Sims lack the fine visual clues and our sim’ flying is cruder so our flight path deviations are awful compared to how we would perform in real life.
I find it hard to keep sim’ speed down to realistic values especially as I was used to mph with bigger numbers than knots which are used in most sims.
(Light aircraft manufacturers liked to use mph, it helped with marketing. The 180 hp Cessna 172 and Piper Archers could cruise at 100 mph without flogging the engine). -

The cones were removed for the Hahnweide Old-Timer Treffen (OTT) festival but to my knowledge and as being a pilot who actually flew at that airport in the real world for many years I assume that the cones would be placed back to split the runway in two as it always used to be...
And to the comment on the runway size: No, the size is accurate. Again, for the OTT the runway may have been extended to allow the oldtimer aircraft to use the full length of the field. But the threshold is actually displaced quite a bit when approaching from East to West.
