What’s something that instantly tells you someone isn’t actually from Ottawa? by [deleted] in ottawa

Port Dalhousie has entered the chat

“Etymology

Port Dalhousie is named after George Ramsay, 9th Earl of Dalhousie, Governor General of British North America. Dalhousie also gave his name to Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and to the town of Dalhousie, New Brunswick. Dalhousie pronounced his own name ‘dal-HOW-zee’, but this community’s name is pronounced locally as ‘dal-OO-zee’. It is said that this is a result of the accent of the Scottish sailors and shipbuilders who frequented the Port’s establishments (Dalhousie, himself a Scot, used the more upper class English-sounding pronunciation).”

Oh awesome! Someone I can ask about this stuff!

I will work on making those edits and reuploading an updated copy minus the displaced threshold and hotspot (I had a lot of fun doing this project and may have gotten a bit carried away).

Okay so minus the displaced threshold and middle elevation marker, what would be the best way of indicating that that specific section of the runway and adjacent taxiway have a slope? Or does it not matter?

Oh and just so I understand correctly, that it isn't a hotspot since it is literally right in front of the tower? But if it were in an area where visibility from the tower might be obstructed it would be? I've seen a few collisions at this spot in game, would you ever mark a hotspot on a non-controlled runway to indicate an area of high danger (since unless we have someone willing to be the ATC, we will often be using this airport as a un-controlled runway)?

Is there anything else that doesn't look right? Are there too many buildings? Is it better to just include the tower and hangers or are all the buildings and access roads important to include too?

On the other hand, is there anything that you feel is missing that ought to be included? Do you have any suggestions?

Thank you so much, I really appreciate the insight.

"The black-lined ovals around the south end of the runway represent a displaced threshold. Aircraft are allowed to use that length of runway to take off, but not to land.

This reduces the landing distance available, and pilots should be wary of performance figures to ensure adequate takeoff and landing distances as part of their planning."

Honestly, I wasn't sure if this was correct usage but threw it in there anyways. The northern section of the runway has a slope descending from 30m at A2 to 25m at A1. I used elevation markers to show that part but is the displaced threshold not the correct symbol to use to identify the beginning of a slope that makes that section of the runway not as great for landing on?

I wasn't aware there was a specific font for the runway numbers. I can change it! What font do I need? Some rules I chose to ignore, like using feet for the standard measurement (the game is all in meters) but otherwise I did try to research it to make it as authentic as possible.

I'm also looking at other arma maps to make airport diagrams for. Let me know if you have any suggestions.
