Airside patio dining @ 94th Aero Squadron... fond memories of their beer cheese soup and listening to ATC piped in during dinner
My personal favorite was always the French Onion soup. Man that was good!

It's about time we get a proper VNY!
I've been working Line service here for the last 5 years, the details are incredible!Where are you working line service? I used to work at Clay Lacy many many years ago.
Really been looking forward to this one. Looks great!

If you install freeware addons, always check to make sure you don't have one the covers the same area as the scenery you just purchased. You will end up with models on top of one another and all sorts of other weirdness that others won't be able to reproduce.
Yup, there was another. I have not tested it yet but I am sure this will fix it. I knew I had a Catalina scenery there already, and I did remove it prior to installing the Orbx version. I did not realize that there was actually a second installed I had forgot all about. Thank you!

I figured it out , Nick, All is good now. Thank you.
What did you do? I have both issues with my installation.

I figured it out. If anyone else encounters this issue, you must log into your Orbx account ONLINE, not within Orbx Central. Select Account, then Update Account, and there you can select your state and country. Moderators, no need to reply unless you want to add something, but please keep the thread in case anyone else has the issue in the future.

I can not make any purchases because I keep getting a message "You must select a state to calculate any applicable taxes". I can not find where to select a state. I have clicked all over the screen, looked through my account settings...how do I select a state so I can give you my money?

Regarding Van Nuys (KVNY), please be sure to include the new Gulfstream/Jet Aviation maintenance facility on the North West quadrant. It makes a major change to the feel of the airport, but won't be shown if you are using source data more than about 18 months old. Also, directly across the runways, on the North East quadrant, is the 94th Aero Squadron restaurant. This is a really cool place made up like a World War I air base. The staff often wear period costumes, and there are mock up WWI fighters, jeeps, and other ground equipment parked outside. This is a favorite hang out for locals, and would be very missed by anyone that is familiar with the airport. Making sure that the Condor Squadron, flying the T-6's which are clearly parked outside near the base of the tower would be awesome as well. I flew with them a number of times. Back when I was there, they sometimes even partnered with the CAP, making them one of the last non-entertainment uses of authentic WWII aircraft, other than fire bombing and freight haulers up in the far North, and certainly one of the last using single engine WWII aircraft.

I didn't realize until reading your fields bio that you were involved with S43, Harvey Field.
Probably my favorite West Coast USA GA field. Attention to detail, the smoking BBQ, moving trains , 3 hot air balloons, & a tight field to get in & out of.
A no-brainer purchase if it turns up in MSFS.
TTM
No brainer for me as well

I like Arlington too, have been there a couple of times virtually. I would have to study it closer and then of course get high quality photographs of the main buildings and objects from someone living local.
I can hook you up with what ever pictures you need (hint hint)
There is a neat private fly-in community about 5 miles South East of Arlington called Frontier Airpark (WN53) with a 3800X50 paved runway, lots of local wildlife, beautiful homes.There is a local black bear population, and lots and lots of deer that hang out through the community, and hence, near the runway. Hummmm... MSFS comes with ready to use black bears...you could have a lot of fun with that.
I can hook you up with pictures there as well (hint hint)

Merci beaucoup Franck! Yes I love these small airfields also very much. They have so much atmosphere and authentic flair. That's why I stick to those!
Andreas, is there any chance of you doing Arlington KAWO ? It is in the same general area and just a little bit bigger, so that you can get the CJ4 in and out easily. They have a wonderful airshow each summer.

OK, I verified that Fast Lane is the ticket. I opted in to Fast Lane and then checked for updates and Central updated to 4.1.22.

Orbx Central detected my MFS Beta installation when OC updated to version 4.1.21.
I think that is the issue. I am at Orbx Central 4.1.14, and even when I click the 'Check For Updates" button in the settings, it returns that "No Updates Available". Perhaps I need to just delete Central and reinstall it from scratch.
Edit: The Orbx Central link on the Orbx Homepage lists the current Central as Version 4.1.14, so not sure how you managed to snag a copy of 4.1.21. You aren't running a MAC by any chance are you Gulfstreamtwo?

Welcome MSFS in Orbx Central,
I just got an update of Orbx Central and it detected my MSFS pre-installation. No products yet, but the entry and start page are there.
Kind regards, Michael
When I log into Orbx Central now it doesn't show any thing , not even available products, for anything except XP-11. No mention of the old FS product I have purchased or the Aerofly purchases or even that any thing other than X-Plane exists. Hummm...
-
Awesome news. Thank you Orbx and thank you for the discounts as well. I would also like to second porting over KHQM. Even if it moves from being Free to being a purchase like the rest, it deserves its opportunity.

Looks amazing. I'm not sure of the differences between SD and HD though, does it make a huge lot of difference, especially as I enjoy flying in VR? Thanks.
Yes, it does make a noticeable difference when you are down low. Get above a couple thousand feet and its all the same, but down low its really nice. I like to replay my flights and watch from the outside while I'm chilling watching tv. I really like the crispness when that the HD provides when doing this.

SUGGESTION Only: Being that you do have Gulfstream static models, wouldn't it be good to place some of them on the ramp of the Gulfstream facility, in place of the light singles that would never park there in reality?
Looks fantastic. Really looking forward to this. Great job!
