    This is Murray Island situated between Northern Australia and New Guinea.  Its Orbx freeware but the airport is listed under the old ICAO code YMUI.  In P3D 5.2 the code is now YMAE.  NIck helped me resolve the conflict between the codes.

    Another view of the island with the airport in sight.

    Here is the airport.  this is about all there is to it.  There are some birds fluttering above the nose of the airplane and what looks like a giant Venus Flytrap on the right.  I guess the guy  on the bench is waiting for somebody to pick him up.

  2. I have all the west coast TE.  The colors need adjustment in P 5.2  and don't match well once you go eastward out of TE but I don't think it is as bad as it is in X Plane.  In general its too dark but can be adjusted out.  I don't have problems with frame rates of resolution.  Eastern Washington, Oregon and California seem too brown but generally there is not much out there anyway.  They did a better job with Washington and California than with Oregon which is to bad since I live in Oregon.  With many cities in Oregon the streets are blue.  Medford Oregon is particularly bad but Klamath falls is actually very nicely done and doesn't have the blue streets.  The parts of the three states that are west are much greener in nature and look much better in TE.  

  3. Nick,

    This is a screen shot from YMUI Orbx freeware island airport between Australia and New Guinea.  I am probably the first person to go there since 5.2 was introduced. This seems to be a conflict with YMAE.   I'm guessing the solution is to remove  the file for YMAE but I could not find said file.  This is perhaps another instance of ICAO code change.    Can you point me to the location of the file that has to go,  if that's the solution.  Keep in mind that I have no other installations of P3D other than 5.2  This is a bit too much like something Salvador Dali would have done.

  4. When I wanted to try flying around Australia I did a search for Australian registration skins for the Stationair.   I found one for Australian Air but it was from the MS 2004 version of the Stationair and I could not make it work.  The British registration version was one of the best looking repaints so I used it.  Carenado produced the Stationair for MS 2004 then upgraded it for FSX then upgraded it again for P3D.  They seem to have gotten all the bugs out.  Its a beautiful airplane and I think its one of their better efforts.

    Hopefully, they will figure out a way to get it into MSFS. 

     

  5. Nick,

    I was able to find two files specifically related to S07 and removed them to a new folder outside of P3D.  below is a screenshot after removing the files, and when I ask P3d to load KBDN.  When I ask PD to load S07 I still get something like this but with the second ghost airport below, even after removing the two files.

     

    The two files I was able to find and remove are:

    ADE_FTX_OR_S07_Bend_Mun_CVX.bglADE_FTX_OR_S07_Bend_Mun.BGL

     

    I was not able to find any vector files specifically related to either S07 or KBDN.  Keep in mind that I never loaded earlier versions than 5.2 of P3D.  Also, I have all the Orbx west coast regions as well as all the North America True Earth regions.  I have to admit I find the file structure somewhat confusing.

     

    Any help you can give will be much appreciated.  Bend is a fairly large city in Oregon and the location of the airport makes it central to Oregon.

  6. When I built my new computer three months ago I saved the SSD with all the FSX "stuff" on it and installed it in the new machine as one of the drives.  I can access all the files but  FSX won't run on the new machine.  I still have the original installation disk and some day I may reinstall FSX,  but for now I am enjoying P3D.

  7. They are making some progress in controlling the fires.  But even so today around Medford the smoke is really bad. The problem in Southern Oregon and Northern California is that during the summer months we get mostly dry lighting storms in which there is more lightning than rain.  That and the unusually dry weather for Oregon plus the unusually warm summer days we are getting in recent years.
