September 6, 201510 yr Commercial Member Best airport near my real world home. Bay Bridge is nearer, but a bit small for the aircraft I fly. I also fly out of Bloomington, IN (alma mater city) , and Indianapolis (a previous hometown) a good bit. Nice! I just recognized it and had to give you a hard time. I fly out of JYO, and have flown over ESN a bunch on my way out to OXB, and a few weekends ago on the way to CGE. I've almost flown to Bay Bridge a couple times, but haven't made it out there yet.

September 6, 201510 yr Kyle. Did you see the recent KJYO scenery by EC Simulations? Its in the library here. Looks excellent. I just installed it last night. Have flown into KJYO (FSX) previously but have a difficult time going there. Lost a good friend and business associate in an April 1997 crash on IFR approach to KJYO in IMC. After later reading the accident report I can only guess that he got his fixes mixed up and started his descent from one farther out than he though he was at. 17 has ILS now, but a couple of years ago someone from that area told me here on Avsim that in 1997 there was only a LOC approach. Have communicated back and forth with the guys at EC Simulations and hoping they will do KESN soon. I really like the work they have done so far. I am going to add their KTTN soon and fly up there (Trenton, NJ) as it is close to where I once lived.

I remember that one, actually. The approach was a LOC through about 2006ish, if I recall correctly. It was definitely a LOC when I started my private pilot training in 2003. Kyle Rodgers
September 10, 201510 yr Author I love fltplan.com because I can download all the stuff I need to my tablet, but FS Global is to expensive for me right now. I'm sure the answer is that I'll have to pay the expensive cost to get what I want. John Anderson Windows 10, FSX:SE I5 4690k GA-Z97M-DS3H EVGA GTX 950, 2GB
