[YMML Melbourne International Airport for Prepar3D v5 and v6 - Coming soon!]

Hi, will it work on P3D4.5?

Thanks

Ken

[Could we possibly have one new download for P3D 4,5,6]

It's been a long while since anything new has come for P3D.

I know MSFS is the choice of most but there are a few of us still on LM software.

Could somebody do Perth Airport Australia?  I believe it was "WIP" some years ago?

Cheers

Ken

[Caught me off guard]

You have probably seen this one

[THIS WEEK'S MEANINGLESS TOPIC (#165)(Nov 3]

Dad would drive us (mum and my two brothers) down to Lakes Entrance (east of Melbourne AUS) in a caravan.

Mum applied coconut oil to our skin so we could sunbake, we got burnt but eventually went brown.

You could swin in the ocean or on the other side of the sand dune in the lake.  A great holiday spot, topped off by banana splits for lunch.

Cheers

Ken

[The best advice I ever got...........]

We had a hermit who was called up to army service.  He never washed his underpants, just rotated them in his drawer.

Was discharged after a short time - incompatible with army procedures.

[How many members are there in the Orbx Forum?]

Thanks for the info and comments Nick, behind my question was the "read post" calculation, by this I mean less than half of one percent of members, assuming an averge of 400 people actually read the posts.   It is rare to see more than 1,000 actually read a post.

Regards

Ken

[How many members are there in the Orbx Forum?]

Nick, I recall some years ago membership excedded 60,000 with the arrival for MSFS how many are registered today.

Is there a place where the total membership number is shown?

Ken

[Easter Sale 2023]

Advise.

[all simmed out!]

You will see a Post from me earlier this year about not simming as much these days.

Meanwhile I have discovered Piano Groove see https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=pianogroove

If the link dosen't work put Piano Groove in the YouTube search bar.

I am DL songs with Jazz chords and playing them on my Technics GA3 Organ.

This is a diversion from P3D.

[I am not simming as much as I did in earlier years.]

I find that over recent years there has been a steady decline in the number of hours per month that I am flying in my simulator.

Is it that I have "been there done that" 

Is it that there are so many other things to do.

Is it that my wife says "you spend too much time on that thing"

Is it that the hardware building has ceased as I am happy with my rig.

Comments welcome.

Cheers

Ken

[Path to start list]

Some time ago I added UTlive traffic and Spad next to auto load when I start up, but I can't remember the path to this file.

I want to add another item to my start of P3Dv4.5 

I recall it is an XML file somewhere.

Can anybof=dy provive this path?

Thanks

Thanks to all who replied, most useful.

[Questions about buying MSFS2020]

I am still on P3dV4.5 and I am considering buying Microsoft Flight Simulator as all future developments seem to be for that platform.

Some questions

1  Where is the best place to buy it?

2  There seems to be lots of words about Xbox, is there a separate version for PC?

3   There are three editions Standard - Delux - Premium Delux which do you recommend?

Any other advice welcome

Thanks

Ken
