teecee Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Dear lord.. I just took my first and last look at the default FSX Red Heart... in particular, The Alice.. A bright blue river (which flows about once a year if you are lucky, and is most certainly never blue).. houses on the top of Mt Gillen.. Highrise buildings.. and a bright green airport.. Never again, until Orbx works it's magic..Roll on Orbx Red.. Teecee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Bosch Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Yes, my very first FSX flight was from my home town of Broken Hill. I was very disappointed to find the place reduced to a few huts and the beautiful red soil a kind of straw coloured mess. Even Stephen's creek, which has about 1 foot of water in it every 10 years, is a nice blue river! I too am hanging out for AU Red. I have dibs on building this strip. It's where my love of flying was born! Oh ... and this one if the FTX team can get Menindee lake next door too look as dry as it currently is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderhead Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Too right Teecee, I lived there for five years and saw the river flow seven times. They say if you see it flow more than three times you are a local! Anyway, I never noticed any buildings on top of Mt Gillen in all the times I have climbed it excepting the transmitter and airnav installations at West Gap at the southern end of the escarpment. Though, having seen many sunrises and sunsets up there I would love to build a discreet humpy on top! Thankfully, for the sake of the mountain's beauty that won't be allowed. I cannot wait to fly Red along the West MacDonnell Ranges, to Gosses Bluff and low and slow back along the Finke River - the oldest river on earth. There is so much to look forward too!! Brad.

teecee Posted July 10, 2008 Author Share Posted July 10, 2008 I had seven years in the Alice... best years of my life.. it's a fantastic place to live.. and hopefully will become a fantastic place to fly.. some of you guys that like to drop dirt strips here and there might like to look at the Territory.. every mission and station ( and there are heaps of them) have one.. just a simple dirt strip usually.. not even a shed, though this is not always the case..
