VH-KDK Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 I can just remember visiting Cayuga Lake and Ithica almost 60 years ago. Here is the first half of a flight across the Finger Lakes in Central New York State. OLC NA, FTX Trees, Vector, P3DV4, Alabeo Saratoga, REX TD EE, PTA Adams 2.5 REX version. 1. Starting the journey from 1NY0 Wallbridge. 2. Acouple of communications masts poke through the low cloud near Cardiff. Not looking too good for the flight. 3. Getting a bit of a lift at Otisco Lake but not too sure if I should proceed as we are flying over the town of Amber. 4. Skaneateles Lake is the next one and the town of Mandana on the far bank. 5. Leaving that pesky low clouds and the first two lakes behind. 6. Owasco Lake. Auburn can be seen in the distance at the head of the lake. 7. 1NY8 Killian Airfield at Scipio Centre can be seen here. 8. NK74 Match Mate is under the Saratoga as we approach Cayuga Lake. 9. Cayuga Lake is the second largest of the Finger Lakes. Passing the town of Aurora. 10. Seneca Lake is the largest of them. Seneca AAF along with the bases buildings can be seen. 11. Willard is on the left and Dresden just out of view on the right as we fly over Seneca Lake. 12. KPEO Pen Yan Airport and the town of the same name.

Leyland Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 There's a small free scenery for Taylor Field (by Jon Davidson. http://appalachianscenery.webs.com/ at the usual download sites such as Flightsim.com) which is roughly on the location of the Curtiss museum at Hammondsport at the south end of Lake Keuka. Seems to work fine for me in FSX and P3D2 (and probably other versions). Finger Lakes is a good area to explore, both in the sim and in the "real" world, been twice!

Stillwater Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Your narrations are always fascinating, Martyn. You seem to have been at every place on this planet, with so much local knowledge! 50 minutes ago, Jack Sawyer said: By the way, what is EE? Enantiomeric Excess, Jack, gives the ratio of original and mirror compound in a mixture of chiral substances. Don´t know if this was meant here, though...

Look your left hand and your right hand, Jack: they are "chiral": Identical, but you can not paste one over the other, because they are like image and mirror-image. The same is true for any chemical substance, like Ibuprofen or Tartaric acid. Your hands should have an Enantiomeric Excess of 0, as you have the same number of right and left hands. If not, let me know ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along with JV, EE was the vehicle registration mark for Grimsby in Lincolnshire! REX TD Enhanced Edition Jack. I saw someone else using the abbreviation so I thought it was a good idea with less typing. Cheers for your comments. 5 hours ago, Stillwater said: Your narrations are always fascinating, Martyn.
