VH-KDK Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 I took off from Mount Isa and headed off west to find some of the strips in the area. Well after doing a few orbits then re checking the co ords on Google Earth, I came to the conclusion that the strips were absent. Checking the Add on scenery folder in P3D confirmed my worst fears. I hadn't installed them yet. Hopefully I will try again tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodger Pettichord Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Hey Martyn. The whole flat place looks like a landing strip to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Mc Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 A good excuse to go on another flight once you get them installed, although as Rodger Mentioned, fair chance there is somewhere flat enough to set down out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks can be deceptive but a good place to be if your engine(s) give out. Just make sure you have an EPIRB and plenty of water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are quite a few strips in the set Michael so some bush trips on the cards. Plenty of places to put down but the roughest place to land would probably be the dirt roads with all their corrugations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
