Overhead Photos of NCL

im wondering if any had any photos of NCL airport from the air showing the Remote stands clearly and the new tower, they have to be from within the last year.

the need for these is to complete a modification of Newcastle Airport for Flight Simulator, so far i managed to modify it up to the remotes, due to google Maps being out of date.

Try www.ais.org.uk

You have to regester (takes a couple of mins) The ICAO charts are upto date

Log in and go to “Search” then “Aerodromes”

and hopefully find what you are after!

Microsoft’s equivalent of Google Maps has reasonably up to date pics of the airport, the ‘birds eye view’ shows the tower during construction, from multiple angles no less. maps.live.com. Not sure if this helps.

when were pictures taken on google earth ?

A year if not 2 ago, it doesnt have the new remote stands on, or the start of the construction of the new tower, even MS maps is out of date.

Have you tried Google earth??

yes i have been using them up to now but they are about 2 years out of date

progress so far:

first image is my current progress with google maps overlay to position everything.

and the second is the original that comes with the default installation of Microsoft Flight Simulator 9

Green circles represent parking spots, blue lines taxiways.
