In my opinion, being able to competently skate using hockey skates is about 60 percent of the challenge to play hockey. I was always a better skater than I was a stick/puck handler. Growing up in a climate that had cold winters allowed us to set up a small ice rink during January and February in the back yard. It is amazing how easy it is to snap a water hose in half when it is 10° F! Rod

Played a bit of hockey in High School (unorganized) on a regular basis. Have watched a lot of hockey on the TV and have attended multiple professisonal games including Stanley Cup Chamionship games. I also believe it is one of the fastest and most exciting sports to watch or play. Rod

Welcome back, John! Glad you are doing better! Rod

Hi Carlos, This post was recently made in the Orbx Company Updates section of the forum: Rod

Have a great birthday, Richard and Capt Pugwash!

Don't do multiplayer and don't play video games. I only fly in areas where I have lots of custom scenery installed so that I never really land at a default airport. I am a bit of a do your own thing person when it comes to flying in the sim which doesn't fit well with multiplay. Rod

1) Yes, almost every day 2) Very rarely 3) Yes, here is one I took of a low pass at NZWF which is part of the new NZWF Wanaka Region scenery: Rod

Unfortunatley, I don't have a pic to post, paulk, so if you have another one, please post! Rod

LEBL Barcelona? It has those same stair step extension to the jet bridges that I see through the window of your first shot. Rod

I am all about realistic scenery so almost all of my spending is for scenery packages. I really only fly the classic C172. I determine the areas I fly in by picking a limited area (I like 90 minute or less flights with the C172) with a good density of small to medium size airfields as well as a few international airports and 1st determine if there is reasonable prolific scenery development active for that area. If so, I acquire all of the payware and good freeware sceneries I can for that area. For example, in England (my favorite place to fly), I focus on all of England south of line that stretches from Blackpool to Leeds to Hull. I have over 80 airports active in my Community folder for that part of England made up of about 60% Orbx distributed sceneries (BBD, Orbx, Pilot Plus etc.), 30% freeware and 10% other miscellaneous payware. I have been known to enhance a freeware package by developing a sister scenery package that adds things like people, static airplanes etc. to help make the airfield come alive. My scenery costs are controlled by the few number of small geographical areas I focus on. Some of the other areas that I fly in are the Pacific Northwest including Seattle, Vancouver and Victoria, the southwest area of the South Island of New Zealand, the east coast of Australia (Brisbane to Melbourne) and the three largest urban areas in California.

Love your screen shots, Emmsie, keep those artistic masterpieces coming! Rod

@Dragn Rodger is right! When somoene first joins the Orbx forum, X number of posts need to take place before the moderator intervention requirement is dropped. This is one way Orbx controls spammers. The "X" number varies randomly but it is never too high and it should not take that many posts for you to be free of moderation. Rod

I have the light also and have isolated it to the recently released EGLC v2 v2.1.0 from Orbx. I have submitted a ticket on it asking that it be explained as a POI or removed as a bug. Rod

Great shots of Medina and 1G5, Rodger! Thanks for the flyby! Rod
