Thanks for the awareness! I put Chris´s picture here once again, though y´all know the airport already. I couldn´t take a picture there, because I was the driver when we passed the runway.

Chris.D Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Hi Gerold, Yes, both VH-RYT and VH-BFS are there but they don't go to Fraser Island in the sim. RYT goes over to Bundaburg and back and BFS goes to Cairns (YBCS) and then on to Innisfail (YIFL). I had to de compile Traffic_FTX GA Traffic.bgl to make sure. You can often see BSF at Hervey Bay if you start a flight around midday. Orchid Beach airstrip in the sim is out in the ocean with a water runway. and there is nothing on the beach at Eurong. I think that when I finish my South American adventure, I should make some new .bgl's and fix this situation up and have some planes landing on the beach again. I had all this in FS9. A real life story,, Some years back, one of our summer tropical thunderstorms came through the bay, and before they had time to put RYT in the hanger, the wind picked her up and threw her against the shed wall. Lots of damage. Got some pictures somewhere, a sorry sight. RYT at Hervey Bay. TZR flys up to Lady Elliot Island in the sim OK. The time I took the shots.

Chris.D Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 (edited) Its Saturday here, so I had a mess around with Orchid Beach and the Gippsland Airvans, both RYT and BFS. The airport works OK and the AI fly in and out, on time. The Aussies will get this. While getting YOCB Orchid Beach going, I discovered an "Easter Egg" in the scenery, a bloody Dingo with a baby in its mouth !! . Sick sense of humour, but I did have a good laugh. Here you go. RYT included ! Edited February 6, 2021 by Chris.D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't be serious, I can't believe someone put that there. I am going to have to find one myself. Have you looked around Uluru, I wonder what is there. Maybe a broken down combi on the Stuart Highway too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, I am no expert in Orbx airfields in Britain - I was slightly disappointed from the quality of the region packs so I did not invest much more there. So I have to make some wild guesses... There are not many hard-surfaced airfields in the portfolio. My first suspicion would be Shoreham/Brighton? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stiletto2 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Gerold, so you don't have to wait for Boetie to wake up, it is definitely EGKA. Here is a P3Dv5 pic of EGKA taken in the same basic spot: Rod 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfko Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 (edited) First of all I would say this is in Australia, because so far I have only seen this innovative method of using garbage bins for a cordon in Australia.

Rob Abernathy Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 You guys are good! It is S433. Even with the current snow I thought maybe that red/white building would give it away.
