Bale-Mulhouse/Basel possibility?

Overloaded · November 16, 2016 at 12:15 PM

Bale-Mulhouse airport appears on the Airbus 380 glass screen map display with the runways depicted correctly. On an Aero approach it has no ILS, no real scenery view and it is not a selectable destination in 'navigation'.
It does have 2 NDBs and a VOR in Aero AF 1, in both PC and iOS Aero FS 2 and if upgraded it would need detailed runways and should have ILSs on runways 15 and 33. It is a few miles over the French border but it is the airport for the Swiss city of Basel.

The issue with Bale is that is has overlapping ground textures from three nations. Its not easy to find areal images that extend beyond the boarders of a country, thats probably why its not included with the switzerland scenery

That is unfortunate, the airport has great nav-aids and a pleasant mountainous approach from the south. The Basel area is a little bit light in large aeroplane airports. The locator NDBs would look good in the 380 and other working ADF aeroplanes.
