Jack Sawyer Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 P3D 3.4 - All Orbx and new 2WA1. Made a flight to W28, Sequim. Was another very nice short flight. I always like to read the manuals as I love aviation trivia, and I like to see who did the beta testing. Anyway, last night, reading about Diamond Point I was thinking how nice it must be to own your own plane and live on a private airport. Some people have all the luck!

flyingleaf Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Very nice Jack. Yep it must be nice to have your "yellow" plane sitting in front of your house. But I noticed the grass could do with some cutting with your "upside down yellow ceiling fan". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice to have a yellow plane like this but I'd much rather have a real Bell 404 upside down ceiling fan! 2 hours ago, oldboy43 said: Very, very nice Jack. Thank you.

VH-KDK Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Quality takes of some of the best ORBX scenery in your yellow peril plane. Appears it could do with a bit of TLC though. Hope you are enjoying yourself with your new airports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neil Hill Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Hi Guys, I did the photos for Diamond Point, 2WA1. It's quite a place. I got to talk with several folks in residence and they seemed to love it. You can see water on 3 sides and the weather is great (most of the time). I'm glad you enjoy the airport.

Cheers, Neil Thanks Neil! It's outstanding, I would love to live there, or even just visit. Imagine living on your own private airport? It would be a dream come true.

Turboarrow4 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Very nice set, Jack. Have been there yesterday, also. (Unfortunately only virtual). This part of the ORBX world is the one I fly the most when I go low and slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to go back with AS weather on and see if I can experience some of those winds. And they're right in the manual, looks can be deceiving because the runway is so narrow.

Neil Hill Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Hi again, On the day I took the photos for 2WA1 I also did photos for WA45 which I think is part of the same package, but even the default PNW version looks quite good. What is unique about WA45 it includes a WATER rwy, and this on the side of a hill, overlooking Discovery Bay. I like to never figured out how to get there to take the photos as the road to it is a small rather obscure dirt road (see GE). Cheers, Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Sawyer Posted August 10, 2017 Author Share Posted August 10, 2017 Nice Neil, if I had to walk there I would I like airports so much. I wonder why they made the road so inaccessible? I mean they have to drive to the airport, unless it's just a fueling stop for gas and a $100 burger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Hill Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Hi jack, This is pretty much a private strip. The owner of the one home that is there had a 2 engine seaplane and so he build the water rwy. I think he'd passed away by the time I got there but the family still made sure it stayed full of water, I suppose for others to use. It makes a cool small airport whether using the grass or water runways. I only ran across 1 other combo grass and water airport and that was in Oregon.

That's really interesting Neil, this is why I love it here, I always learn so much. Sad about the owner though but glad the family kept it going. What an amazing life that must be to live like that.
