January 7, 200422 yr Author Cristian,I managed to flatten the terrain for my Pacemaker Landing Zone airport construction project. This is a military testing range in reality, but I have built a small, tower controlled airport here. I have added ATIS, Ground and Tower frequencies, a paved runway (the Pierce County model, since the real PLZ runway 16/34 is 3500 feet long by 60 feet wide), a section of taxiway, four AI parking spots (C-130, Citation, P51 dirref, WindhawkP), a control tower, all of the relevant runway and taxiway lighting, a couple of fuel tanks, and a hangar.Interestingly, I couldn't get any practising P51's to work here, but the Windhawk works fine. I suspect that the greater speed of the P51 results in a slightly larger pattern range than the Windhawk, and this may well have interfered with the pattern at Spanaway.I will post a few screenshots later on today.Chris Low.PS. This is the location of one of LGS' extra airports, but all of these have been removed from my install of FU3.

January 7, 200422 yr Referring to the requirement for all cookies to be accepted, I find this is not a problem. I use a wonderful little program called Cookie Wall. It's free from AnalogX and can be found on their web site - www.analogx.com. Easiest way to find it is to do a search once you are on their site. Basically it monitors all incoming cookies and can be set to automatically delete or allow cookies from any source, and it lists the others for you to delete or not as required.As to which area I like best, I'm hard pressed to decide. I suppose it must be Seattle as I do most of my FU3 simming there. No particular reason for that though, except maybe the colours seem a little more natural to me.Ches

January 9, 200422 yr Author Bogdan,Pacemaker Landing Zone is located just south of McChord AFB. I will post a screenshot showing the exact location later on today.Chris Low.

January 9, 200422 yr Author Getting satellite photographs is one thing, but they really need to be in colour....and then we have to find a way to incorporate high resolution elevation data. The Central Valley is flat, but the mountains are NOT :-)Chris Low.

January 10, 200422 yr Thank you. I must visit this area. I don't remember I was flying over this place.B.Adamski
January 10, 200422 yr Author Here is a screenshot showing a slightly modified version of my Pacemaker Landing Zone airport. I have adjusted the taxiway to make it parallel with the runway, and I have also changed the runway model from the Pierce County version to the Auburn Municipal version. The orientation is the same as the real PLZ (16/34), so I am OK there :-)Chris Low.
