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 2016 edition only.

Festival repository
I have created a repository to store OpenRadar files/ground networks/Route Manager files - you can find it here. Pilots and ATCs are invited to install its contents before participating (see the instructions in the README file within).
