Rodger Pettichord Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Hi Folks. Quick question--I have tried getting the PNG Emo Mission freeware. It downloads and installs and appears in the Scenery Library just below the Orbx Library, but does not appear in the actual program place-selection list or on the map. This is true for both FSX Steam and P3D4. What am I doing wrong? Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was at one time a google map or kmz file of their locations, but off hand I don't know where that is located on the Orbx site. Perhaps someone knows where to find it.

I do know that the mission is about twenty miles from Kokoda on a heading of 220, but when I flew that, there was no there there. Maybe I ought to be a little more thorough in looking? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodger Pettichord Posted July 20, 2021 Author Share Posted July 20, 2021 Thanks Tim and Gerold. I will give it another try this afternoon. And, Gerold, the detail approach info is very helpful. I'm flying the sites as research for a novel I'm writing, so this leg-up will help that project a lot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did find the waterfall landmark but no Emo Mission. I ran the nearby slopes with a Stinson 5 low and slow, but no joy. APEO is properly below Tapini in the library. Will try in P3D4 tomorrow. Also found a 2015 Forum Thread "AYEO EMO Mission, How Do I Start?" which also worries this question. Will persevere. Stiff upper lip. What ho, eh? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
