Jack Sawyer Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Was rainy but I flew to Avalon, it was nice. Does anyone else see trees in the road? Is this AUS or Vector? Just curious. Right on the beams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Hall Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Nice one Jack, Moorabbin was my 1st strip for Orbx, really steep learning curve, next time your back there check out all the buildings from memory well over 100 Mel’s just for the airport and Graham’s Au AI pack fills it with all kinds of GA aircraft aand lol flying local routes, I’ve often been in a pretty long que both taking off and in a hold pattern to land, a really good test of procedures.

paulb Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 A great flight Jack! . It does look a little bit wet there, still the Orbx people seem quite hardy and enjoying the rain! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussie123 Posted December 1, 2017 Share Posted December 1, 2017 Well - you got the weather right Jack. Maybe you are responsible? Just watching the morning news. Melbourne, and the State of Victoria, have had up to 120mm of rain in the last 24 hours (4.7 inches in US money). Flooding everywhere. Were you using a Real Weather program?

I read about that, 4.7 inches is a flood here. Hope no one got hurt in it over there. Yes, I use AS4 all the time so I reckon it was correct.

VH-KDK Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Excellent set Jack and It looks just like the RL weather we are getting at the moment. 60mm of rain on Friday night , 110 total Friday and Saturday. A few roads are now being closed in my area due to rising water but it is not expected to be too bad here although some other parts of the State may be worse.

Cheers John It was warm rain on Friday John but I was out in it yesterday afternoon and it was absolutely freezing once the wind turned to the south. The return of winter.

Sorry to hear Martyn and this is SO WEIRD! We're having the opposite with very very high temps! Is it Planet X, global warming, or aliens? I'm astonished, at least you're ok, thank goodness.

VH-KDK Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Thanks for that Jack, the weather has always been up and down. In the 18th century the Thames used to freeze over. I saw a programme about deep sea coral in Queensland which have evolved from a time when the sea levels were much lower. Anyway as long as there is money to be made by some..........

That's what I need, a super volcano eruption so I can finally get some darned snow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have Yellowstone, it's a massive super-volcano but if it erupts too many people would die so I hope it stays calm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
