3 things I notice at most msfs airports nowadays

Featured Replies

1.  Many of them have one of the static planes spinning around on its prop. and

2. There seems to be a yellow Penske truck zipping around the airplane parking areas. and

3.  There are several non-descript 2 Ton trucks and 18 wheelers zipping around at a fast pace.

Are others noticing these as odd things?  Is this something the user can control?

Regards,

Ray

Hi Ray! I hope you are well. Yes, I see this all the time. I figure the guys in the yellow Penske truck are responsible for the plane spinning around belly up , like a cockroach hit by a can of raid. Now they are trying to make a fast get away but they keep getting cut off by the guys in the 2 ton trucks and now they are totally lost trying to get away.

GACS probably saw that on the news, he didn't just figure it out by himself. spacer.png

I am not seeing anything like that, but then I have airport vehicles and road traffic disabled.

I'm not so sure, GACS is a pretty darn smart dude.  Could be original thought. 😏

Hello GACS.  Good to hear from you.  I am not well yet, but on a slow recovery.  I will probably never walk unassisted again but my motorized wheelchair still gets me in some interesting places.

Regards,

Ray

Walking is over-rated. So is a motorized wheelchair. MSFS is best. It really gets you into more interesting places.
