wolfko Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 After Landon's post about the hill I was completely on the wrong track, assuming it might be Walter Sutton's. But due to Greg's post about the logs I knew I was wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, that hill near 1S2 has messed with me many times when turning around to land, so that is how I knew which hill it was. Cheers!

I should have had a closer look at Rob's pic to realize that the mountain was too big to be the one at Walter Sutton's. Also I completely overlooked the tree logs. 1 hour ago, Sniper31 said: But, that hill near 1S2 has messed with me many times when turning around to land, so that is how I knew which hill it was.

Rob Abernathy Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Got one more for you. PNW but I hope I don't make it too easy. I'm sure John knows what this one is but here's another hint for everyone that's not sure yet. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Heaton Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 I got it - but I Cheated via Google and Central Discovery Must try it sometime since I simulate using the one further to the South quite a bit when I'm in PNA in my Comanche 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Abernathy Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 John thinks he knows which Orbx airport this is but didn't give it away. Anyone else? I have another one to post but not until there's an answer to this one, or maybe we've all lost interest in this thread? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say: "Yes" - we are still giving advertisements for Orbx products, even if it just the freeware additions to PNW. Plus, we can compare how good this stuff meets reality! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
