Jack Sawyer Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Last night I made two flights. From YTMO to YBOU to YLLE. YTMO - The Monument, Queensland YBOU - Boulia, Boulia, Queensland YLLE - Ballera, Quensland The home base for this fellow's DO-228 is YMML - Melbourne so I'm getting there. This at YTMO ready for departure. Enroute to YBOU Now, miles and miles, and even more miles of desert? Is it called Outback? Arriving YBOU Departing YBOU for YLLE Lots more desert Scenic in its desolation. Arriving YLLE On final to an airport that's literally in the middle of nowhere. But it's cool!

Voyger Voyager, did you see my post in the other thread about me still not having a clue on how to use the scenery library sorting? It would be easier with a video. I liked the old method of dragging to where you wanted them. I just can't figure this method out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Jack If I understand your problem, this is what I did if that may help (sorry no video ) Go to Central 3 Hit the cog Go to the black entry box below "FTX entries should be inserted below", Click it, you should a list of all your addons Select the last/lowest of the third party (non OrbX) addons there and keep it in the black box. THEN Go to the black entry box below the "OpenLC entries should be inserted below", Click Select FTX now. THEN Save the whole shebang , bow to the crowd and exit the stage.

I think it would be good you post a ticket for support in FTXC3 area. My FTC3 only allows me to adjust the part that deals with where FTX-OLC blocks will be placed.

Thank you Dominique but what about the Tongass regions? How do I do that? I must be dumb. I'll try as you say as soon as I get a chance but I wish to heck someone, anyone would be kind enough to make a simple YT on how to do it and keep it as a sticky. I liked the old system way better because to me at least it seemed more intuitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the old system way better because to me at least it seemed more intuitive. It is simpler for me as I don't have Tongass and I agree that the drag me system of V2 was more intuitive. Logic is that the Tongass lines should be above OLC NA in anycase and the latter saved as such. Regarding Tongass and FTX, I am not sure it matters.

VH-KDK Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Top shots Jack, you are really in the outback here. Stayed overnight in Boulia many years ago, thanks for jogging my memory of some wonderful times. Managed to figure out the scenery library eventually, I am in the same boat as you Jack and find these things a bit of a challenge. 31 minutes ago, dominique said: It is simpler for me as I don't have Tongass and I agree that the drag me system of V2 was more intuitive.

Thanks for your post Dominique, managed to point me in the right direction , the penny finally dropped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Sawyer Posted November 4, 2016 Author Share Posted November 4, 2016 Thanks Martyn, as I was flying over Australia last night (destination Melbourne) I was still astounded to see such a vast continent basically uninhabited. My friend in the UK who routes these flights gets pretty creative sometimes but I love it because I get to see places I'd never see. For example, I have owned Australia for a while now but never fly there. I'm always somewhere else in the sim. So now I think I might like to sometime try a coastal tour of Oz and enjoy those sights. And last night when I landed at that strip in the middle of absolutely nowhere I was amazed it even existed! Gosh, what do people do for food? Medical care? Even postal mail? It seems the distances between towns is so great you'd have to fly there and even then it'd be a long flight! I wish I could visit both Australia and New Zealand. It would be a trip of a lifetime for me. It's now #1 on my bucket list in life, I hope I get a chance before I shuffle off this mortal coil. As for you finally "getting" it about the scenery library, well, I'm glad for you. I wish I could have that aha moment. Why on Earth did they have to change it? They must have had a sound reason and I'm not faulting Orbx, they know one heck of a lot more than I do. It's just (hopefully) only temporary frustration.

bernd1151 Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Jack, I flew in real life quite a few times from Sydney to Singapore on SQ. It was always a treat, sitting high up there, sipping champagne and watching this beautiful and vast continent pass by underneath. It was truly spectacular seeing this almost never ending "outback" from FL 380 in the comfort of a Boeing 747. Although I did it fairly frequently, I never got tired of it, on the contrary!

gumbypickett Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Some nice shots Jack. Isn't the desert scenery amazing, literally a few airstrips the odd ranch and not much else, and then transforms again in the wet season to a lush green with bird life etc. aaaaaaaahhhhh. cheers Gumby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know much about Oz but is there really a wet season that tuns it all lush? Must be quite a sight to see. 28 minutes ago, dolf8857 said: Nice set again Jack! Thanks Dolf!
