December 3, 201510 yr CZST KEGE KFOT KSTS and all are eye poppin'..... Originally I thought yeah, yeah...what could be rendered around Sonoma, Californina... ....plenty, and excellently so! Love these 35 percent off ORBX sales every year..."...have a holly, jolly, Christmas, a most happy time of year...." Burl Ives's voice crooning that... Can't wait to complete California to the south....and that was also the impetus for KSTS, and KFOT. A full 'state fly over' from Palm Springs, or San Diego. KSFO already in the hangar....
December 3, 201510 yr Yerterday I bought NCA even though i was taking a break of Flightsim... Oh well... Cheers N.-
December 3, 201510 yr Commercial Member So far just KSTS and KSEZ for me but there's still a month to go and I also want KSQL before it's over (and SCA the minute it's released even though it won't be on sale). Credit card's still warm from the May sale, lol. Also grabbed REX Wx Architect while it was on sale, haven't tried it out yet.

Jim, I thought you grabbed about a month back, KEGE...cause of that post I had, that had that video of a woman and her two children being flown via private jet to KEGE. That's what pulled the trigger for me...had to experience that approach as he did...and an excellent 'yawn' job he did of that, for sure! You should grab it...it is truly gorgeous! Oh..and the approach? A nice challenge dropping down between those two peaks...
December 4, 201510 yr Commercial Member I did, Mitch. I think I've flown that approach to the point of obsession, lol. It's always the drop between 12,900' at AQUILA and 10,400' at WEHAL that gets me (with a stop at 12,200' theoretically but that never happens unless you're flying a Skyhawk). I either don't descend fast enough and then I'm too high at the airport - or I descend fast enough but then I'm too fast to land. Go around, back to Kremmling VOR, try it again... I've pretty much got it down in the F406 now but I can hardly imagine doing it in a 757 - even worse if you couldn't see anything! I agree on the gorgeousness, lol. If you don't have Sedona it's pretty cool too - and no snow! I've just barely glanced at KSTS so far, just fired up the sim to make sure it showed up. I think a high & fast flight in the JetProp between KSTS and KSEZ may be in order for this evening. :smile:

I will have to look at that guys approach again.... As that battery company says: Sedona..yep, got that! I'm pretty well done, except for Southern California. I also think that I shall wait until ORBX has P3D v3 pretty much transferred over, before I make a jump in that direction. I never went to v2.5, so v2.4 (ORBX loaded) will do the trick. I can only feel for the guys and gals that have moved to v3.0..and have most of their ORBX library, languishing. Not ORBX's fault...it all takes time.
December 4, 201510 yr CZST has an equally nice companion called CYBD, not too far away from Stewart. KEGE looks good on top of the MSE ultra-res Rocky Mountains scenery. (Guess you could just combine it with ORBX Global Base as well. ) What happened to AVSIM

(Guess you could just combine it with ORBX Global Base as well. ) I got that (CYBD) last Christmas...and as you say, most excellent. I'm pretty well, airport'ed out....lol. Just need to grab S.C. when it pops out in the next few days...and FSX and P3D are going to be considered, like the stocking on the fireplace....stuffed... Cheers, Ses
