Yes Mitch, Each state has its own government and laws but each comes under the Federal Government for major policy like Health, Defence, Welfare etc., pretty similar to the US I guess.

Hi Mitch

Tasmania is the only island state of Australia. Australia has 6 states and one Territory (Northern Territory). We Tasmanians generally refer to the main Australian continent as the "mainland" .

Whilst on your Tassie tour you might like to visit the South West part which is a World Heritage area. You will see Lake Peddar which was originally a unique inland lake with white sandy beaches and controversially dammed and flooded for hydro power development in the 1960's. Also nearby Mt Anne and further SSE Federation peak.

I have flown a real C172 on a route Hobart-Mt Anne-Lake Peddar-Federation Peak and then coastal to Hobart passing Bruny Island. Its a nice flight.

Thanks for the info

Yes..it sound's so.  Does Australia have the Draft, in times of conflict?  Is military service mandatory, such as in Israel?  Just wondering...:)

Hi Ses

I've been trying without luck to figure out how to download the ortho files for Tasmania from Bing. Any chance you could give me a step by step (for dummies) guide and advise any software I might need

I assume it is possible to download in a suitable form for Orth4XP to convert for Xplane?

Is any overlay applied after that?

Any help appreciated

Hi Ian,

If you go to my Profile Page, you will see all my forum postings.  You will find (I hope, lol) all that you need from those posting. I have posted extensively regarding my usage and successes (some failures) with using Ortho4XP.

Cheers,

Mitch
