Frank .A Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Hello everyone, these are a few shots I took of Town Site Drome which is a now closed aerodrome in Alice Springs. I have made the airstrip myself but the photoreal is provided by Orbx's amazing YBAS Alice Springs Airport. I came across it while doing research for a book so I decided that a might "spruce" it up a little bit. Downhill approach, here. Dangerous, indeed!Almost down! That grass is awfully long!Engine cut and parked up near some clutter...After looking around, I decided to taxi back to the threshold and leave.Full power and bouncing off the uneven runway, half a foot in the air!Up, up and away!Thanks for looking. You can download (and I recommend that you do) at the OZx downloads section. Search up "Town Site Drome v2". In case you can't find it, here's the link: http://aussiex.org/forum/index.php?/files/file/3816-town-site-drome-v2/Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank .A Posted June 10, 2013 Author Share Posted June 10, 2013 Thanks for the feedback. It could've put a bit more effort into it but unfortunately I couldn't find any actual 3D termite mounds in the libraries that I used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Excellent Frank. Don't worry about the long grass though. I think you will have to put a roo bar on the moth if you are going to land there regularly. Thanks for the link . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Dropped in there yesterday in the newly released Antonov An-2 to check it out ... scared the crap out of the resident roos .... and amazingly got off again. That thing gets airborne after a couple of wheel revolutions - it's incredible. Nice piece of work Frank ... & thank you. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
