Tim Harris Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Hi Doc, Grab CRM region pack, loads of crazy bushstrips included, use the supplied Region KML to find your way around, Boise or McCall in Idaho are good spots to start from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geezer Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Yes. Idaho is a bush flyer's wet dream. You might also look at RTMM. Very nice but mostly VFR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Speechley Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 CRM is NA Central Rockies. RTMM is Return to Misty Moorings, which is not ORBX, so you need to buy it elsewhere. Type it in google and you should get their website. I stand to be corrected but RTMMs original beginnings was primarily done by a prominent ORBX developer. A hint would be 'Holgermesh'. So quality is as good as you have been accustomed to. I have both and well worth it for lots of exploring. RTMM if I remember rightly took a bit of 'massaging' during installation to have it play nicely with P3D. Certainly worth the effort though.

Matt McGee Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 I agree that NA Central Rockies has a bunch of great bush strips if that is what you're looking for. The Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness in central Idaho, east of McCall, is famous for bush flying. The Central Rockies scenery includes most of these strips, though not as detailed as Orbx's PNG strips. The NA Southern Alaska region is really good for bush flying too. Since you have NA Pacific Northwest, I would personally get the Central Rockies and Northern Rockies regions next. (And then keep expanding!) PNW, CRM, NRM will give you a large area of contiguous Orbx region scenery, with lots of spectacular terrain, and lots of updated airports. With the 47/31 sale on, you get the most bang for your buck buying regions IMHO. I you want to focus on buying Orbx payware airports within the Pacific Northwest, I like the area centered around Whidbey Island and the San Juan Islands. I admit bias because I live and have flown in the area since 2001. The area has one of the highest concentrations of Orbx payware airports. Open up the "Product Map" at the bottom of the Products page and you can see how many Orbx fields are there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gypsy Pilot Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 As you fly over a Region keep an eye out for the many small town and ranch strips that are in the scenery but not listed as an addon. I like to drop in for a visit just for the fun of it. Some of them are quite good when compared to their default ( not-Orbx ) examples.

ShawnG Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 do a youtube search for dewey moore idaho landings, then buy CRM and try it yourself. good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 FWIW RTMM is bush flying locations that utilize FTX regions, (PNW, PFJ, SAK) and FS Addon's Tongass Fjords X. While these regions are payware, RTMM locations (literally hundreds of landing spots) are totally freeware. http://return.mistymoorings.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
