Airport Tracks using GMap-Pedometer

[mandretti39]

I have created a few tracks that run on airport runways, some I have posted before, a couple are new. All run clockwise, except for Monterey Peninsula Airport.

Detroit City Airport: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=218314

Monterey Peninsula Airport: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=218323

Paris Airport: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=218372

Sacramento Executive Airport: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=218340

St. Paul Downtown Airport: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=218349

Teterboro Airport: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=218361

Westchester County Airport: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=218367

What do you guys think of them?

Detroit - Simple. I think the straights are a bit too long.
Monterey - Not bad for an airport circuit.
Paris - Not bad for an airport circuit.
Sacramento - I have mixed feelings on this one.
St. Paul - I like it. Not bad.
Teterboro - A little bit 'too' simple I think. Reminds me a lot of Silverstone's Stowe Circuit.
Westchester - I like it a lot.

All up, good job.

I like Monterey Peninsula Airport the best. I suppose that when you think about it, airport circuits have limited space, so wouldn't be easy. nice job.

Cardiff International Airport:

Here's one of Edinburgh International Airport.

http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=219601

It uses sections of the "old" short runway along with the parking ramps for the Freight Terminal (Formerly RAF Turnhouse). The main runway and terminal are well away from the circuit layout...zoom out and you'll see what I mean.

Circuit is anticlockwise with the pit straight starting at the marker

I did an airport track all the way back in 2003. Check out my post here.

That Paris track is only one of three airports in/near Paris, by the way.

Guys, circuits on international airports are no-no's. There's no way they'd be shut down just for the sake of autoracing. You're better off picking slightly smaller airfields.

Well I suppose your right. But then again, they are fantasy tracks.

Most, if not any, of my tracks do not use international airports. I use smaller airports. I was criticized about this before, so I strayed away from them.

That wold be very good if you included the old ingleston track in it, which is just across the car park.

I know. My comment was directed towards the tracks of jab and SBF .

How big's Burke Lakefront (in terms of status as an airport)?

[ScotsBrutesFan]

Edinburgh and Cardiff have International status simply because Great Britain is an Island, and even the shortest of "regional routes" involves crossing borders.

In saying that a regular Transatlantic service began this week from Edinburgh to Atlanta, so I suppose it's status is increasing all the time.

Not very big. It's used primarily as a General Aviation (Light Aircraft) field, with the occasional charter or corporate flight. It totally lacks commercial service, which makes it perfect for this kind of thing.

Cardiff hasn't actually been an "international" airport for long, but I better leave it alone.So, instead, I've done this at Filton Airport, Bristol (it's not a major one!!):
