if you look carefully in that last video, you see a mountain in the distance that stands out, almost like a volcano. Perhaps that helps! 😅

Yes, 76, noticed the mountain is much higher than surrounding range - thought it might Mt. Rainer and we were SE but the earth colour - that lovely rose-brown clay put that out the window.

Yes Shack - reckon you're right with that.

I've had a look in Italy, South Africa, North Africa, Spain.

Please don't spread leaked footage - that's the reason, why we now have the screen full of watermarks since today

Errr,

NO.

You're so wrong about that.

And I'm not a callous person - I'm keeping a very keen eye on the whole thing.

Peace...

We're just all getting well in to the new sim.

Got it, takes almost two hours but it was a lot of fun

And....there should not be a runway there!!

 

Place is pretty near Redding Municipal Airport, CA, (RDD VOR 108.40 is active, so the place needs to be near..)

It looks like an old RC airplanes airstrip

That would explain going early in to the tree tops....

You got a google Earth Lat/ Long for that?

Bang on Mamu. Nice one.

I shall fly there - I shall take the Piper Warrior off that runway - designed for Model Aircraft and fly that left base (after avoiding the trees and the river) like a hero heading for that mountain which we can surely confirm is; Shasta in the Shasta Mountain Reserve.

Kudos to you and bloody well done. x

Any posting of watermarked Alpha pics WILL be removed!

I hope you don't mean the official MS approved screenshots? 

[Shug 210]

MS have their own site where the pictures are posted so I doubt they'd be too upset with Avsim banning posting of watermarked screenshots 😉

Just looking back at this this morning mamu.

How the heck did you find it?

It's not even an airfield.

It's just a strip some guys take RC aircraft up from.

- there was RDD VOR (108.40) tuned in NAV1, therefore take off location shoud be near redding

- take off heading was 122/124, so i searched for similar runway nearby, no kick

- in the video, the guy take off (on the left theres an highway and a river, sort of) this was a nice clue

- left turn 90 degree, now you can see some square lakes/ponds (another clue)

- another 90 degree left turn, and then the guy in the video looks down the right Windows: boom, Redding Airport there (crossed runway): from this spot i've gone backward keeping an Eye at the clues above...and i find a runway where there should not exist an Airport.

All this work, and we have a 5min video...kudos to Shack95 , he's able to find spots from Just One Little picture!

Dear Sherlock (Mamu) Holmes,

I am, as ever, in awe of your methods and the fact that when you point them out it seems obvious as to how your came to your deductions.

Yours,

Dr. Watson.

p.s: You left your opium pipe in the lavatory again and Mrs Hudson has been "at it". This means we won't be getting any supper this evening...again!

Shack95 is like the Professor Moriarty of MSFS2020 location investigation. His powers seem supernatural.
