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 Fall 2017 edition only.

Festival repository
I'm going to create a repository to store OpenRadar files/ground networks/Route Manager files just after the Spring 2017 edition ends; the link will be posted here.

Flight/ATC planning:
Pilots and controllers are invited to register their flight plans/sessions at Lenny's website.
---
Charts:
We will use the official AIP Italy charts; you can get them from the Eurocontrol EAD Basic Web site (requires a free registration) or from the ENAV AIP Italy Web site (requires a free registration: the form is only available in Italian).
The first alternative is recommended as you can access all European AIPs with a single set of credentials.
