Avalon to San Diego


Jack Sawyer

Recommended Posts

Orbx SCA, Trees, KAVX, KSAN, Scenery Config Editor did the rest.

Spring, 1300 local, AS16 on, Adam's PTA 21_11.

It was fogged in at Avalon or else I would have toured the island so I went straight to KSAN, did an ILS landing at 09, ILS freq 111.55, took off and toured the area.

Sorry for so many but this is a nice area.  FPS were ok and VAS was better than expected.

There's only one request I could make, if it's even possible, can you make it so I can land on the carriers?

And Matteo, if you read this, I can say it was $ well spent.  I really like what you have created.

Pretty darn nice Jack!  Especially like the ships.  How FPS friendly is it?

Very PDX.  Got most on average 30.  VAS was awesome too, however, for good VAS SEC must be utilized.

Dandy set of shotz in a fabulous plane! The landing flare shot with crosswind is my favorite!

Thanks Erik!  Yeah, major real weather crosswind, caught me off guard.

Jack, just to ask a dumb question, what is VAS SEC?  I am familiar with VAS, but not the 'SEC' part.

Wonderful set Jack well flown.

Top class scenery too, I especially like the ships.

Thanks Martyn!  Yes, the scenery is excellent, worth my ticket for entrance.  And yeah, I always love the ships now that I have that AI freeware someone here, no idea who now, turned me on to them.  Makes it even more immersive.

Splendid set of shots!

 

The PC12 is for sure a nice bird for such a trip. 

 

May I ask one thing? How did you manage to integrate the GTN with its frame and original size into the VC?

Tried it myself, but only managed to get the display to show up in the standard gps. 

Would be grate, if you could post the corresponding area in the panel.cfg.

 

Fly safe and fair weathers!

Hi PDX, VAS is virtual address space, the 32 bit limitation we all have to work under, for now...

 

SEC is a typo, sorry, it's SCA, Scenery Config Editor.  Found it in PMDG's 747 introduction, it's free and it's awesome.  It allows you to create folders and load only the scenery you'll be using on that flight.

 

So I have folders labeled:

Wales

UK

Australia

PNW

CRM

Alaska

SCA

Scotland

Ireland

 

Etc.

 

So why load all that stuff you don't need and load just what you do need, and when you run FSX or P3D it loads in two seconds.  And it saves you from the dreaded (for now) OOM.

In the latest version it instalIs natively.  You may want to update it at Carenado.  I only know this because I bought it coincidentally like two days after they updated it.

They have simple instructions to install it.  Good luck!

Nice shots Jack, great variety -- what you done in all of your [and others] images is convince me not just to buy KSAN, but that Matteo makes great stuff! Be nice to know what he has his eye on for the next release!

Thanks Mike!  Yes, it's worth it and not too bad on VAS and I too can't wait to see what he has up his Orbx sleeve!  You go Matteo!

Great shots Jack.  Again, you are playing with my credit card!  I'm sitting on the fence waiting for LOWI , but I might just have to give myself something to cheer up with!  I was in KSAN recently on business and stayed in the Marriot Hotel on the front.. It is actually modelled in Matteo's scenery as the 2 quarter circle towers near the marina.  Great stuff..

Great series Jack! :). I like the fog in the earlier shots. Super landing! That scenery is amazing!

Thanks Paul.  Yeah, I was surprised to see it with AS16 on and it looked great.  I was gonna tour Catalina but it was socked in.

Thanks Kev!  Must have been nice, I visited there several times in the 80's.  I think LOWI will be out this weekend, I feel it.
