August 26, 20205 yr I thought I'd enjoy a nice flight in the 172 over the Scottish Islands from Benbeculla down to Barra, which as those from the UK may know has it's runways marked out on the beach. http://www.hial.co.uk/barra-airport/ However... I tuned in the NDB and arrived overhead only to find the tide was in and so I couldn't land ! Not a complaint, the real airport suffers from exactly the same problem and is only usable at low tide, as I don't expect the tides are simulated that particular airport will remain out of use. I just thought I'd mention it in case anyone else was planning a visit to this famous airport. Absolutely beautiful flying to be had in this sim up in Scotland over the highlands and islands. 787 captain.

Plus reef breaks, different types of swell conditions based on distant winds, offshore vs. onshore winds effecting how the waves curl, and then add a surfboard rack to the Icon A5!!!!

August 26, 20205 yr At EGEU, Stoney Lane, the canal has flooded over the runway. Mind you, we've had some rain lately. 😄

August 26, 20205 yr If I can find it (failed in my first attempt), I want to see how the Grüner See in Austria's Styria region is represented. 1-2m deep in winter, and a country park, 12m (twelve) deep with everything submerged under meltwater from May to July, with benched, paths flowers and even trees submerged. Will it be a small 'pond' or a large lake, assuming it doesn't change by season (yet, at least)? Talking of Scotland, I did fly my A5 to Ailsa Craig but didn't see anyone collecting granite for the world's curling stones!

August 26, 20205 yr Yea .... flutterbys are great. I also want some aircraft behind clouds, snakes hiding under bushes in really long grass and just where are the crocodiles???

September 21, 20205 yr @jon b Looks like you can go back there now. As the developer says, it's concrete sand but at least it's solid ground.😉 OS: Win11 Home; Mobo: Asus TUF Gaming Z690-Plus WiFi D4; CPU: Intel i5-12400 (Alder Lake) 4.4 GHzRAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR4 64Gb (4x16GB) 3600 MHz; GPU: MSI Radeon RX 5700XT [8GB] SSD: Corsair Force MP510 (for OS); 2x 1TB & 1x 2TB Sabrent Rocket Nvme PCIe 4.0 (one for sim, two for addons)HDD: Seagate 3TB (Data); Seagate 1TB (Programs), ASUS TUF Gaming VG32VQ1B Curved 31.5" monitor, 1440p, 38Mbs ethernet Fulcrum One Yoke, Honeycomb Bravo throttle, Thrustmaster Airbus TCA sidestick & throttle, Logitech Pro pedals, Xbox wireless gamepad (1st gen)
September 21, 20205 yr I spent three days flying to a salt pan near one of the world's oldest deserts, only to find it under water. 🤔
