Great, I'm glad it worked for you. :Applause:

Did you have problems on the ground on Norfolk ? Haven't heard about any continuing flights. Prepositioning 1604 to Adak.

Kiwi; TheOwls Nest has a prop fixer that has worked for me. It fixes all HTAI prop planes and some others too. (http://www.owlsnest.eu/maiw.php) Some others you just have to do one at a time. Hope this helps

For what it's worth, I've just uploaded a zip to the library that contains a basic terminal and firehouse for KCHO. I was pushed for time when I uploaded the airport originally and didn't think I would get the buildings done in time for the flight.

Luke: i'll be following along. Sounds like a neat idea. I will have two USCG C-130s in the air from both ends of the Hawaii - Dutch Harbor leg of your flight. One from Barbers Point headed north along your route, and one from Kodiak headed south. If you run into difficulties just give a call on Guard 121.5. We are 'Semper Paratus'. jmbiii (USCG Ret.)

Okay, I've just uploaded the BETA KCHO scenery to the library. It should be available shortly. I admit there is quite a bit to be desired . . . it's certainly not anywhere as good as what some of the good freeware scenery artists produce, but it'll give you someplace to land better than the generic FSX depiction. Runway 3 would be the choice if you pass over Tom's house coming from KRIC.

I'd love to be able to visit south of the equator to see those fly. And celebrate ANZAC day !

What a great collection!

Trucker; I won't be able to join the flight, however I have been working on photo real scenery and AFCAD for KCHO on and off for a few months. As CHO was Tom's and my 'home' airport, I had written Tom about it shortlty before he made his condition known. I had hoped to finish it before . . . Now only the tower/fire station are missing and night textures for the terminal. I will put together what I have and upload it as a very Beta/WIP prior to the flight so you all will have a place to land. Jmbiii

Oh you kids. 1943

Today is my 70th. Like the original poster, THibben, said, when I started FS the lines on the screen were green ! Then the big jump to magenta, cyan, and red ! Keep going all you "oldies" ! Gotta go. The autopilot on my Duke is calling - time to get set up for the approach into CHO.

Here's a good one. I have double rotating beacons at the stock airports. Both towers are visible in daytime and green-white beacons at night. They are usually about 200 - 400 feet apart. I've searched the forums and have not found any thing on this subject. Has anyone had this before ? Does anyone have a remedy ?

I'm convinced on getting OPUS. Don't have REX or AS2012. Was going to try HDEV2 for the textures, however the sky textures cause FSX to lockup and quit. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to remedy this? JB

Flight simming since early eighties. Must have been FS 2 or 3. FSX on a high end machine nowadays. I'll be 70 in a couple of months. Divide my time between Flight simming, my BMW moto and the d**m lawnmower.
