Some of the strips shown above we have covered in our upcoming PNG experience here http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/80470-aypy-jacksons-international-papua-new-guinea/

 

Of most interest is the 'worlds shortest flight'...(video 3) at just 45 seconds the Kagi - to- Efogi is a ride to remember, landing checks are done before takeoff, gulp

Ha. Knew you would show up this this one Timmy.

This new PNG development is exciting news.

HA!!  You know me to well Trev.  Those Friday nights flying PNG with the OZX Flying Club was great fun.  It maybe on the cards again real soon?

Looking forward to the PNG addons..I fly in the area in the sim sometimes and always find it a bit disappointing, so these new addons should make a difference. I saw a mention of Holgermesh for PNG somewhere..Is that new, or a part of the Aus mesh? Teecee.

Heres a great 1080P video of flight from AYPY Jacksons >> AYKO Kokoda in the Tropico Caravan, you'll be able to replicate this exact flight in the upcoming PNG pack


 


Low level seat of the pants flying too :)

Top videos - flying from AYPY to AYKO was always a challenge in any aircraft after about 1000 hrs, when the clouds gather, the winds blow and the daily storms build-up and continue most days through to about 1700 hrs.

Yeah, and also gotta be careful of mornings, slippery dew under the wheels and sun in your face
