The Festival of FlightGear is a biannual "fly-in" event taking place in Spring and Fall:
- the Spring edition is held in March in a region outside Europe;
- the Fall edition is held in Europe and coincides with the FSWeekend "real world event" at Lelystad.
This first post will be the only one containing up-to-date information about the Festival and will be updated to provide you with links to the latest airport charts/ground networks/Route Manager files/helpful resources for the Spring 2016 edition only. The Fall 2016 edition will be planned and discussed in this dedicated thread.

OpenRadar/Route Manager/Ground network repository:
As usual, I have created a GitHub repository for storing OpenRadar routes, Route Manager files and ground networks. You can find it here - contributions are welcome.
Scenery development:
- RJGG (Chubu Intl. Airport): Horacio Contreras (from the South-American Group "ViveFG") prepared a GPL scenery for RJGG a while agon; IAHM-COL and legoboyvdlp, in collaboration with him, worked to improve the ground layout and submit the scenery to TerraSync. d-laser will model the tower and terminal with Blender. The Project3000 toolkit was also used.
