January 12, 20233 yr Author If we have time left over at the end... there is an optional extension to KORS... 🙂 Bert
January 12, 20233 yr Bert, Can you ask the instructor to NOT wear the window-pane plaid for this flight - those slacks hurt my eyes! i7-6700k • Gigabyte GA-Z170X-UD5 • 32GB DDR4 2666 • EVGA FTW ULTRA RTX3080 12GB

January 15, 20233 yr Note: Also need the RTMM LIbs which support the BC LH scenery. https://return.mistymoorings.com/z20_homepage/index.php (PS: Just added a few changes on Jan 15, 2023). (New Express package also updated on Jan. 15, 2023)

Vancouver scenery: https://flightsim.to/file/41597/vancouver-improvement-mod Main file and Part 2 LOD 20 Modification to my scenery recommendation... suggest not activating the "Main File" and only activate "Part 2 LOD 20" from the CLI4D Vancouver package if you are using the SamScene scenery. At the cost of some Asobo PG buildings in the older part of the city, the scenery loading stutters (at least on my system) are pretty much gone. You can go for a test flight out of CYVR and try with and without if you have the time ahead of our flight. Edited January 16, 20233 yr by Bert Pieke Bert
January 16, 20233 yr I plan to fly the amphib Beaver since two of the airports are seaplane bases and three if I land at in Fraser River Flying Beaver Bar & Grill instead of on the runway at CYVR. | Windows 11 | ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z790 HERO | i9-14900K | RTX 4090 | 64GB CORSAIR VENGEANCE DDR5 | 4TB Samsung 990 PRO M.2 | 2x 4TB Samsung 990 PRO M.2 | CORSAIR AX1600i ATX Titanium | LG C2 42 Inch 4K OLED |

Yup, that would work too 😉 In that case the SamScene package is "very" highly recommended.. Edited January 16, 20233 yr by Bert Pieke Bert
January 17, 20233 yr Author A slightly more detailed sightseeing route can be found here... https://www.dropbox.com/s/8rrilb7z1ykjrr3/VFR Pitt Meadows (CYPK) to Victoria Intl (CYYJ).zip?dl=0 Saves me from directing traffic, although I will still plan to provide the commentary 🙂 Bert
January 17, 20233 yr Author One more... The PG scenery leaves a "half cruiseship" at the pier when Samscene is loaded. With some help on the Mamu Discord forum, I have been able to replace that with a new cruiseship.. Looks much better. 😉 Unzip and add to Community folder. https://www.dropbox.com/s/gfcehndbj65g434/zzz-vanpier.zip?dl=0 Bert
