Currently my Kodiak and I are in Port Hardy British Columbia. You are making me calculate just how long it would take to get to Australia. Awhile, is what I have come up with lol.

Thanks again for this Rock. Did the flight this morning in the C170 and it was gorgeous on my new system. Had just turned on ultra clouds and a great partly cloudy sky. Going to go down the coast to Brisbane from here.

Just purchased this today.  I had encountered this developer when I was a beta tester for Pro ATC X. Forgot all about this program over the years, but I see has done a lot of work on it, and has increased the number of ATC  clips dramatically and it syncs to what your comm radio is tuned to. Sounds great.

Wonderful video and landing.  The water and sand really are that colour around Hill Inlet and Gulnare inlet.  We beached our trailer sailor on a sandbank in the middle of Hill Inlet for a single night.  Beautiful sailing in there watching all the stingrays move away, but gosh the tiny sand-flies where nasty.

Anchoring offshore a bit in a decent sized rented yacht much more civilised when did that a few years later. 

There is a floating platform on the outer reef to the east of Whitsunday Island that can be reached by boat and helicopter.  You hear the helis going back and forth all day - wonder if someone will do a scenery rendition one day?

If you had waited a few days - Auscene will have a new Hamilton for you to buy - and will be better than the vanilla 

you landed at - did you notice - on the way in  - that the huge Marina that Hamilton is famous for  - was all under water

Honestly - in a lot of respects - this Aussie update was a joke - and yesterday - you flew over a 9 year old Gold Coast

I'm sorry, but I have to ask. But, do you not know about commas, periods and sentences?

I'm sorry, but I have to ask. Where in the  heading for this topic did it include anything about a request for grammar criticism.

Thanks Harry !! for that - just what I needed this morning, I presume  - an American -  commenting on an Englishman's Grammar👴

 

BTW - your number of posts are a little devilish !  🤣

Yep!  I think it is universally accepted that MS / Asobo have done very well with this world update.  I really like it.

I took a few flights over Hobart Creek last night (from your previous video), and really enjoyed it.  I flew down the coast from Mackay.

I had CTD's here and there, so I had to keep loading back in, but I have since traced the problem. 
It was not MSFS related but due to my new PC build and the memory profile.  My RAM is failing Memtest occasionally - had about 12 Memtest errors in 10 minutes!
I will tweak the RAM profile until it is stable and solid tonight, then I might follow your route down the coast! 

To those wanting the detail, I bought 32 GB of 4400 D4 (four sticks), but it won't do the XMP profile, or even the lower 4266.
It seems the manufacturer only guarantee this for the paired kits, so two sticks at a time or just the 16GB of RAM; it simply won't hold it with four sticks / 32GB. 😕
I have taken advice and have a profile with looser settings to try tonight.  I will give it a good few hours on Memtest to prove it is stable before trying again - then back to the gold coast!

I had a 16gb Corsair vengeance pro fail last week - that’s the first memory stick that’s failed on me ever - at least with the ones I own, experienced many when I was in IT.

ive since replaced with another pair, but the Corsair is under a lifetime warranty apparently so should be able to replace.

Nice video and airplane. Always been a fan of the Kodiak.

Here is a cool pic of it alongside the Cessna Caravan.

The scenery does look great! The water is very realistic! Look forward to a clip from the next leg!
