    This Week's Meaningless Topic (#169)(Dec 1)

    My suggestion would be to start in my home airport, EDDV. Then turn a little south for a city tour. Turn west and follow the railway line passing ETNW (Wunstorf Airbase) and ETHB (Buckeburg Army) before descending towards the river Weser. The lower you pass the Porta gate between the mountains, the better. And the easier to land on Orbx´ airport Porta Westfalica EDVY. Which is near the place where I work.

    One of the most interesting collection of member stories here, since years. There is another thread somewhere with "Forum Member" presentations, I just forgot the exact title, and it has been dormant for many years now.

     

    Before I start my little comments, I would like to remind of Terry @teecee Carr. With one of the most exciting stories, starting in York, UK, sometime mowing to mining in West Australia, then worker in a chemical plant in Tasmania, working on YMLT airport, before retiring in Jackson, MS. So sad he passed away some months ago.

     

    I just had a 2-month-job in road and warehouse construction, studied Chemistry, worked (still work) in that field in lab, plant management, purchasing, project management, auditing. All this iin Germany and Switzerland. So no much changes, compared to many others here.

    I will throw in a guess as I believe I’ve visited this airport several times in the past.

     

    Rome - Fiumicino?

    My compliments, what a good guess. I have been there earlier this year, but couldn’t recognize it.

    Blackwing - how to change the camera pitch?

    I don't think you can alter the specs of the default cameras. Here is a short vid on custom views

    Thanks for the hint, Stiletto. Indeed you understood me: I wish to change the default view (and I already use custom cameras - how could one fly without?).

     

    This change was possible on the Carenado 337, so I had a template. But it just did not work with the Blackwing, whereever the default view might get its coordinates from.

    Orbx Northern California True Earth ported over to P3D6 from P3d5.  All of my Carenado and A2A aircraft ported over without a problem.

    Good news. Let´s see what the future brings, I still like p3d very much because of the more challenging (and rewarding) piloting.

    Ken you spoilt all the fun now 😀 although, it does mean I will now have a lot of spare money for Christmas to spend in the Orbx Store on other better priced products. 

    Maybe you just try it, Paul, and report if it was worth. Or if it is worth JUST half of the amount 🤣...
