John Lovell Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 In addition to Tim's Murray Island and Tree Top's Torres Straits, this is gonna be amazing! Love these challenging airstrips and the real sense of being in the altitudes with those volumetric mist in the mountains. Can almost feel the humidity.. and the hanging laundry.. of course a change of underwear will be needed after attempting to land on these strips! Top work guys, absolutely love it!

Tenpin Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 As long time Pacific Island Simulations advocate it is really comforting to know that you and Graham are good friends and all. Can't wait to hit my Paypal account for this one. The immersion just continues to be enhanced. The PSI's PNG combo package is a outstanding classic with 41 airstrips that will meld into this. Thank you for all your hours of dedicated work to bring this about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many different subjects of interest, the people, the cabins, the short runways, all promising to be lots of fun.

Tom Schroeder Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Wow! After flying to regular fsx airports for about 30+ years (yes, I started with sublogics FS II for MS-DOS!) I really enjoy the small bushstrips and airfields around the world, f.e. the small OZx strips which are working very well in P3D2! And now some more by ORBX, that's fantastic! Thanky you guys!

rayharris51 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Hello Paul, Could you be so kind as to PM me on how you got PIS' Raw Grit/Bush Trekker to work with Vector/FS Global 2010? I posted the issue in the "Vector" forum but never got a reply. I would like it very much to have PNG working again as I use to do a lot of my flying there but Vector destroyed it for me. Regards, Tim... ========================================================================================================================================================= Hi Tim Don't know if you still have this problem but I managed to improve the FTX Vector coast situation at AYMD at least, by going into the following folder: ...\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimMarket\PNG Bush Flying\PNG Bush Flying\Scenery by removing and backing up all files with 'coast' in them. This should work for all coastal airports. I'm sure you could have a play around with these and other files and improve issues near airports. I'm going to have a play when I get my new PC next week. You may lose some of RawGrit's lovely nuances of course but there always a trade off if you mess around with things. I would be prepared to pay extra for a Raw Grit FTX vector compatible update, but I get the idea it's complex.. FTX global and vector are already showing massive improvements in PNG for me.. Hope this helps Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
