Just what I needed tonight Adam, thanks. Back in the mid to late sixties we danced to many of those slower songs when you could hold them tight................

A fun part of this thread is that I now have installed CYTZ to have a look around this area. May not have done this except for this forum.....thanks guys!
I have a couple pics from a trip to Hawaii that our partner Adventum Tours have covered an airport. Does this meet the criteria to post?

Just went there to check. Looks like it sits up high from this angle. From the other side it looks flatter. I've been to St George area but not right at the airport itself but this is what it looks like to me in the sim. Same for you?

Try looking at the Return to Misty Moorings website. Along with some great Orbx airports in Alaska they have many bush strips, Forest Service locations and other goodies. All freeware.

From my observations the msfs world map has the stars. The OC Discover map is showing circles with aircraft symbol.

I just checked and can concur with John.

I've watched him on Facebook a bunch of times. The look on the faces of the gym goers is priceless.

My all time favourite spoof movie!
I remember testing for Radar Contact (along with Rob).
Our 'virtual co-pilot' was nicknamed Otto
All the best,
John
Forgot all about Otto! lol

I guess I'm with you guys on the best part of flying is perfecting the two bounce landing, then staying on the runway.

Can't say for sure, but I think you'll be pleased with the update.

Welcome back into flight siming Cathy! Recognized your name and face right away.
I would recommend the Store version and go Premium. A lot of newly released content seems to come out first for store edition and sometimes much later for the XBox version.

My parents especially my mother as my dad died young. Since my interest in flight simulation 2 gentlemen who led me in the right direction in airport design and took the time to make my projects better - Al Gay from Flight Ontario and Neil Hill. Unfortunately both are no longer with us but I still hear them when I am designing an airport.
LarrySpent a lot of time at Neil Hill's house pouring over scenery creation up in Lynnwood, WA Miss that guy!

I'll bet the screen was taken with photogrammetry turned off.
Idaho Fire Lookouts beta 1 Rob A
in Idaho Fire Lookouts - Microsoft Flight Simulator
Posted
Installed beta 1 via OC with no issues.
Performance is excellent for obvious reasons.
The area of these fire lookouts is stunning!
After hours of testing I still need to visit them all again just for fun.
Observations:
Not sure additional windsocks are a good idea if they are not there IRL. Flags, smoke, etc should be enough at the ones without a sock. I say keep the realism and let the pilots check weather, winds, etc before flying into them. Some of the crashes are almost as much fun as a good landing. 🙂
Overall the detail is amazing. How you created and placed all those rocks with so few issues is beyond me. Great placement of vegetation, animals (though a few squirrels in easy to spot places would be fun). Haven't had the chance to run the roads in the Juice Goose yet but will next.
Like Darryl I found a few sites had the runways reversed on the world map.
IDSHE
IDTBM
IDSML
The snow issue has already been explained and I'm seeing the same.
I'll have to revisit IDPPL to confirm what Darryl sees as to no rwy outline on world map.
Some notes:
IDTBM
rwy starts reversed on world map
Parking 1 should be a Helicopter start?
IDPYP
Runway starts ok on world map
Snow piles showing on start. Checking weather options cleared them.
Parking 1 to be heli?
Flag, windsock, smoke accurate
What a great place to go camping!
IDTMN
Runway starts ok on world map
Parking 3 is next to the runway but Parking 1 and 2 are far away and appear to be the beginning of the Trinity Mt Hill Climb. Not obvious at first as they are a bit aways from the lookout. Parking 2 could be set as H?
Did manage to get off the ground (barely) with the Zenith STOL but landing is tricky.
Gap under this rock. In general I found very few instances of rocks with gaps. Some that stick out might seem to float at first glance but look ok to me. I've spent a lot of time in the Sierra Nevada mountains and also the Rockies and boulder/rocks jutting out are normal. The overall look of the rocks placed is great.
IDSHE
Runway starts reversed
windsock ok
Parking 2 ok but Parking 1 upon spawning my aircraft slid down the mountain and crashed! As a general note some of the rwy starts are not advisable at all since if you spawn on the downhill end you'll never live to tell about it. I wouldn't change anything as any pilot would be advised to check the area out first before ever attempting to land there. Actually in real life you couldn't just "spawn" on a runway start in the first place.
IDPPL
Starts ok on World map
windsock ok
Parking 1 should be Heli
No texture morphing in this area for me.
IDSRP
Starts ok on World map
AMSL vs AMGL issues here too.
no other issues
IDMFL
Runway starts ok on World map
Snow mounds on ground on first spawn
Rock may appear to float but is normal for these mountains.
Found an elevation seam but minor
IDSMA
Runway starts ok on World map
all good
IDDML
Runway starts don't show on World map, just white dots and mousing over I see they are reversed
Snow mounds on start up
windsock and smoke effects accurate
This stands out for me. An untended campfire!! Maybe just add a person standing nearby?
IDSML
windsock ok
have to revisit start positions
Floating rock but very minor. You would have to be looking for it to find it.
IDDWL
Will revisit, can't find my notes!
Noticed the bird and box are elevated
IDBGB
Runway starts ok on World map
Parking on should be H ?
Be fun to add something on the laptop!
