Jack Sawyer Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Had a delightful flight from KJAC to KDIJ which is over the mountains, it took me a while to circle to altitude to cross the tops of the snow covered granite but it was worth it. Now with OF2 I'm really enjoying the sim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Beautiful bright and breezy set Jack. That must have been a very enjoyable flight over the mountains in your Cessna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't touched 3.4 in a dog's age and was thinking of uninstalling it. But not till I get my two choppers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have too much freeware that I like that cannot be used in V4 so my V2.4..... no stop laughing, my v2.4 will stay installed. Too many pay ware airports to toss away as well.

adambar Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Driggs is used as an alternate airport for planes in the winter in case Jackson Hole is closed, just a little tidbit of info. Gorgeous shots Jack! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question, how does OF2 allow you to enjoy the sim more? Hi John and thanks. OF2 helps me because I can fly the same scenery with maxed out sliders without worrying about OOM's or VAS, so the sim looks a whole lot better. Makes me very happy.

Thanks Paul, I think I've arrived, no more OOM's, VAS, and I like the PTA the way it is. All I might do is darken up the ground shadows ever so slightly. 5 hours ago, stewart1 said: Well Jack I enjoyed your trip and your screen shots look super regards stewart Thanks Stewart! 4 hours ago, ftwd said: Fabulous pics Jack, I really enjoyed this set Cheers, Nathan.

Great set of shots Jack, not sure what other chopper you have but the 530 may not be too far away, last update (2 weeks ago) they were working on a “start in the wind issue”, when that is resolved it will be released. I miss mine also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottb613 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Hi Jack, Some fine shot's in a beautiful area - hah - you should be good at 12K as the regs don't start until 12.5 although people are affected differently by hypoxia... LOL and A2A models it but I've never tested it... Keep up the fine work... Regards, Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the first time it happened in the sim, I was climbing over mountains in SAK and the screen went black, I thought oh no, not another PC problem. But A2A is brilliant to do this. When I flew hot air balloons our policy was O2 at 10k feet no matter what but we seldom went that high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
