Here are some better directions to the 3 "hidden" airfields on the Stalingrad map.

Western Airfield (Karpovka?):
Head to the western part of the map keeping to the west side of the Volga. At the left hand edged of the map you will see two small rivers jutting out from the edge of the map, not far from each other. The airfield is located between them, just at the tips of each river.

Northern Airfield (Stalingradskiy?):
The easiest way to find this one is to follow the railroad the runs in front of Stalingrad heading north. Its best to just use the map as the railroad sometimes disappears if you're trying to following it in flight. Just before Yerzovka (sp?) there is a bend in the track. The airfield is located on the right of the tracks, just southeast of the bend.

Abganerovo Airfield:
North of Stalingrad at Rynok, you will see two railroads that cross the Volga. They only appear on the map as they are absent in flight. Follow the track that continues east as the other splits off and goes north. Following this track, you will come to a light patch on the map that is just before a bend in the track. Right at the bend of the track, the airfield is sitting right there.

Also the airfields tend to be easier to spot on the winter map. Happy hunting!
