Viet Nam, Cambodia, Laos

Are there any good sceneries of any type for this area? I'm using P3dV4.2.

Thanks.

Hard to find ...

Laos: rather nothing ...

Cambodia: There was a VDPP by ONet for FSX, which sits somewhere in my archives. Have to try it sometime

Vietnam: some freeware for FSX going around which I have not managed to get to work

But A_A's VTBS and VTSP work quite OK in P3D4.1 (I have not gotten around to install 4.2 yet). Also his VTCC freeware is OK.

Hope this helps.

Hi. Thanks for the reply. Who is A_A? It would be interesting to get some sceneries for this area and go explore. If you get some running in 4.2 perhaps you would give me a heads up. I flew rotary in that neck of the woods a long time ago.

All the best,

Dave

Hi Dave,

you can find A_A-Sceneries on Simmarket, as said, I got VTBS and VTSP to work in 4.1. WMKK works too BTW.

You can find some freeware sceneries (including some of the semi-military airfields) on the IVAOTHAI website http://www.freewarescenery.com/fsx/thailand.html

I live about 16 NM N of VTBU.

A340Bangla....Thanks for the info. I'll look into this. I'd like to spend some time flight simming this area including Thailand. If I can find some interesting scenery i will. 

VTBU...I'd forgotten what the ident was for. Just looked it up on Foreflight...U-tapao. I flew out of there for a short period many years ago. Spent a few weeks in Pattaya at the same time. I've often wondered what it would be like to spend our Canadian winters there.....

Plenty of retirees from your corner of the world here

U-Tapao is still partly military, but sees a lot of civil use nowadays, Air Asia and Russian airlines...

What's it like for cost of living to rent a nice condo apartment, food etc? I enjoyed me time there....but it was for work and someone else was picking up the tab. Thanks.

Hi

Condo rent can be anything between 5000 Baht up to 200'000 Baht depending on size and location. But 10 - 15'000 will get you a goodsized one in a location at or not far from the sea.

Cost of living is a similar spread, depends if you can live on street food or need the food comforts of home.... I know of people (Non-Thai) who make do with 30 - 40000 Baht a month (including rent). 1 US $ is about 32 - 33 Baht at the moment.

I am moving to retire in Bang Saray late 2019 ☺️

Greetings,

 

Been awhile since any of us have been to this thread. There is now a couple sceneries for Viet Man for V5. Does anyone know of some for V5 from Cambodia and in Thailand U-tapao?

 

CaptVirtual...did you retire as planned?

[A340Bangla 40]

As far as I know there is nothing for Cambodia and Laos... I have VVTS and VVNB.

CaptVirtual - if you are now in Bang Saray let me know.

For modern time or historic scenery?

I'm now using P3dV5.

Modern or historic....The selection is kind of small so I would be open. I would like to get Phnom Penh(sp?), Siem Riep and U-tapao. In a past life about 30 years  ago I flew out of all three for awhile.
