...but if i want to make a nice short flight from somewhere close, what are my scenery choices for that?i would love to have a short 300-400nm flight to end up to PADU but cant seem to find any ...any ideas?

Hi!Fly the chain :) ....start at Sand Point (PASD) or Cold Bay (PACD) or even out at Adak, and fly into Dutch, then in/or out to other Aleutian airports...then/or home to PANC. Get real weather reports then manually load in visibilities to simulate overcast (FS can't do it on its own), and ceilings...then have fun!P.S. I have Aersoft's Dutch X, and it's wonderful, especially if you've ever been there--really captures it!BillKGSPAuthor, DVD, "Electra! Queen of the Aleutian Islands, www.flyelectra.com

NICE..PANC as i see doesnt have scenery for FSX...What about the other 2 you propose?

Were in luck soon panc will have a payware of high quality for fsx http://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/43317-anchorage-preview/ in the fourms they talk about wanting to release in June its a bit of a wait but im sure it will be worth it.

Only basic stock scenery...I've developed some "instant scenery" for these locations, which mimic the bases...but these are tiny destinations in hard-to-reach places, so there are no gates or sophisticated buildings there, even in the real world :)Bill

Use activesky Evolution, no need to manually put in weather

Thanks for your idea.So, ASE, will automatically create zero-visibility conditions while you are in a thick cloud deck? That's the condition in the Aleutians, but I find that REX, for example, keeps a 10 mile visibility while flying through clouds--but one can still see around and down--hence no real simulation of overcast.In order to overcome that, I manually adjust "in-cloud visibilities" to near zero while in the cloud deck...is that an option for how ASE would work? Would love to see how to set that up automatically!ThanksBill
