'Hand Over' true but they are 'built' at Paine Field in Everett, WA

One bad thing about putting on the years is that those around you age as well. My best and only friend for 15 years Simon my dog is nearing the end of life and I'll certainly miss his companionship, trust and affection after all these years.

Hi Neil, here are a few more. Unless I missed one or two, I've now checked all in the area.
TKL Taku Lodge
5Z1 Juneau Harbor
BQV Bartlett Cove
Question - Do you know what all will be in the 1.40 update?
OT question - I've seen that you are involved in making the freeware scenery. As you know several have been taken out so as not to conflict with payware programs. Most are from CA but also from AZ, NV and CO. Is it possible to get a copy of the freeware scenaries that have been discontinued?
And thanks for your help. I tend to get crabby when frustrated so just ignore my crap.

FWIW Taku Lodge is already done in the RTMM Scenery and prior to releasing Taku Lodge in real life was contacted to seek approval and RTMM was threatened with a law suit if it was released. After a long drawn out series of e-mails they finally realized this was for a freeware computer simulation and not for commercial use.
Although the Global Airports are freeware they are connected to a commercial enterprise (ORBX). It may be prudent to check with Taku Lodge prior to doing the scenery. (PS: IRL there is no land airport at the location only float plane operations)
RTMM also has done Juneau 5Z1 already. Although it is just a water runway the scenery is at PAKT so if you use ORBX PAKT that scenery will apply.

Neil, are you releasing these airports as individual packs e.g Pack 22, 23, 24 and 25?
So far since Pack 20 or 21 they seem to be bundled into a full package from 1 - **. With the last release there was no documentation indicating what the new airports were although there was mention of some documentation in FTX Central but I cannot find it. I used to enjoy each individual pack with its airport list and sometimes a KMZ file. With this information I would plan a flight that would touch base with all new airports.
While I appreciate your work I would like to see individual packs for those who already have the earlier packs but don't mind seeing a complete pack for Packs 1 - 22.
Pat,
The download via FTX Central v2 also includes the full PDF list of all airport in the NA Pack. The new airports are listed in BOLD to distinguish them. I could not find any PDF link Central either but after posting the problem here the solution is to Click SETTINGS / TROUBLE SHOOTING / RESYNC ORBX PRODUCTS.
The PDF link should then appear to the right of "North American Freeware Pack".

Nick,
I have to disagree with you on the 'spoiler' function allowing as much info as you want. I checked and it will generate the error message if you exceed two lines when I tried do so by simply adding lines titled "three" and "four" to text already in the 'spoiler'.

Hi all,
First of all we understand people want to show off their range of Orbx items but the signatures are getting out of hand.
While I was doing maintenance I ran into signatures that were more than half a page long so. These are the new rules:
- 500x150 max
- 2 links max
- 2 lines max
This will make for a much easier on the eyes look and you can still put some important things in there. Thank you for understanding
I have not forced it on members accounts, so please go into your signature settings and adjust your signature according to the new rules, thank you !!
Test of something, I'm not sure

To me that equates to comparing apples and oranges. Both are fruit but not the same thing.

Good morning Neil,
got a nice little grass strip for you. I used to fly out of here in Grumman American AA5's
83J Coastal Airport near Pensacola, FL

Just want to thank the freeware developers for all their efforts in providing the updated small airports around the world. This thread as the place to inquire and/or request airports to be updated is the best idea since buttered toast IMHO. Now if we can just get everyone to utilize it it will streamline the release announcement forums greatly.
Thanks once again.

Well after looking in the VOZ forums for an hour I finally found the correct site for these posts. The 'brain farts' are getting more frequent! I'll have to go back to the VOZ board and correct my request for where to find this thread.
Real Name:
Guy Maricich
I live in the U. S., Pensacola, FL. I have been fully retired for just over a year now. Retired Naval Aviator then went to work for the City of Pensacola and as I said retired from that job a year ago last Dec. Some folks know how I got my nickname, "Spud". After completing Naval flight training and being assigned to my fleet squadron, like all nuggets I was given a 'callsign' for radio, and drinking purposes. I was born and raised in the state of Idaho, for those that do not know its famous for growing delicious potatoes. In the U. S. spud is sort of a short name for potatoes and naturally My callsign was Spud. I use it still as my screename on sites.
The photo was taken back home in Idaho next to the second largest Western Red Cedar tree in the U. S.

Just catching up after being in hospital and rehab. for a bit and wanted to say that flying the Link Trainer was the norm for awhile after WWII and as a Naval Cadet pursuing my Wings of Gold I sat it the spinning tilting blue box a few hours. I prefered the actual aircraft personally.
