June 25Jun 25 Starting some work on this while waiting for more sources needed to finish the air museum in the KPRB scenery.Santa Ynez is the airport serving the wine country of the Santa Barbara area, ranking among the favorites of many GA pilots in southern California. Have had to take a few liberties due to some difficult terrain, but it's turning out OK.6cd85e82d2896512b276075cf51391e781ef13fc.jpeg (1761×888)b744619bfa8b419a929b416a4d7f66ae72c0a7e1.jpeg (1784×902)7d0827cff6853a4c0e6efbfadf5782a2d6c26d0d.jpeg (1655×886)dd400a5aa11caa27e07833ce88947a1eb4131815.jpeg (1645×904)0379125e1a0d11bc99135ab863cf287ebd0d3a3f.jpeg (1622×821)

June 26Jun 26 Nice, a payware KSMX. I am really interested to know who that developer is! 😁 In any case, your Paso Robles, the San Luis Obispo payware, the unannounced KSMX and the free L52 from vbazillio. The region will be a VFR heaven especially with Say Intentions.

I am just trying to get the ones that haven't been done out there well enough to represent.
June 27Jun 27 By general acclaim, the far West Coast of California has the best weather in America. It's the winds blowing off the oceans as the planet spins that causes this.Northern California: San Francisco monthly highs are from 46 to 72 F (8 to 22 C). Very mild but will get too cold some days.Southern California: San Diego monthly highs are from 67 to 78 (18 to 25 C). Very mild but will get too hot on some days.Central California: Santa Barbara is located almost exactly in between those two cities, 50 to 65 F moanthly highs (10 to 18 C). It almost never gets too hot or cold.
