  1. In your specific PFPX planing example, the "Route" entry in PFPX for NAT Track W...RAFIN 45/50 48/40 51/30 53/20 MALOT GISTI would be: RAFIN NATW MALOT GISTI. RAFIN is considered the entry waypoint for NAT W and GISTI is the exit waypoint> Here's a another example for NAT Track V, currently active at the time I typed this. V RAFIN 45/50 48/40 50/30 51/20 DINIM ELSOX EAST LVLS 340 350 360 370 380 390 400" The PFPX route entry for TRACK V is: RAFIN NATV DINIM ELSOX. Where RAFIN is the entry waypoint and ELSOX is the exit waypoint. (DINIM is considered part of NATV) Hope this helps.
  2. Was just about to raise the same question re the airport. Thanks all for the tip. One "delight of getting old" is remembering we're getting old.

    Hallelujah

    That is absolutely incredible!!
  4. We've made 3 trips to Hawaii. Each included time on Maui at Koa Lagoon Condo on South Kihei Road (about 3 miles south of Sugarbeach). Drove up to Haleakala and the challenging road to Hana (twice). The 2nd time on a tour, rather than drive, that circled the island. It was on the 3rd trip that we spent the day in Lahaina. We were seriously considering a return this fall and a possible stay in Lahaina to whale watch.
  5. Words will not adequately convey the feelings of loss. My first trip to Hawaii, several years ago, included several days on Maui. I stayed in Kihei. One day included a drive to Lahaina for a Luau (and wishing we had spent more time exploring old Lahaina). On a subsequent trip to Maui, again staying in Kihei, we spent a full day exploring Lahaina. I shall never forget the many historical sites and the banyan tree, now no longer there.
  6. I have Active Sky for P3DV4 and Active Sky Cloud Art. I have to confess here, I'm not sure why I have these particular settings. It's been awhile. However, I'm not sure what "getting some clouds popping into view in the distance" means. My "flights", 99% of the time, are at high altitudes, and clouds are always going to "pop-up in the distance". In any case, here are my Active Sky and P3D settings. I'd also suggest checking the HiFi forum (if you haven't already done so) https://forums.hifisimtech.com/ , AS-P3Dv4_ Cloud Options Maximum cloud laters = 6 Maximum cloud turbulence = 100 (default) Maximum cloud icing = 100 (default) Prevent thrunderstorms when CB reported = True Minimum cloud draw distance= 80 Maximum cloud draw distance= 100 Force BKN to 7/8ths = True P3D low cloud offset = 509 Multi-layer thunderstorm clouds = False Cloud Motion effect = True Cloud motion effect offset = 120 P3Dv4.5 settings: Graphics/Weather Cloud draw distance = 80 cloud coverage density=Maximum Simple clouds =unchecked Detailed cloud= checked Volumetric fog =checked Windshield effects = checked Thermal visualization - None
  7. The pilot actually called 911 from the plane after the crash and TV news has been playing portions of his conversations. He said he was on final to KGAI, had descended to minimum altitude for approach. and since he'd crashed into the tower, was probably lower than he should be. He was also alerted to his low altitude by Potomac Terminal Radar Approach Control.
  8. An update as of 1840 UTC: The pilot and passenger were successfully rescued around midnight (0500 UTC) and taken to local trauma centers with serious injuries related to hypothermia, orthopedics and trauma issues. As of 1800 UTC, the two survivors’ conditions have improved and one has been released from hospital officials reported. The plane has been removed and lowered from the tower and is now on the ground awaiting NTSB inspection before removal.
  9. I downloaded T2G's OTHH Sept 5, 2022 and yes, all the downloaded files are labeled "TAXI2GATE_OTHH-V1_P3D" (date 9/5/22). However FWIW, I just checked the properties for the installer, TAXI2GATE_OTHH-V1_P3D.exe The File Description is reported as "TAXI2GATE_OTHH-V2 Setup" The Product name is reported as "TAXI2GATE_OTHH-V2" The Product version is reported as "2.0.0.0" Also the scenery installed to the following directory "\TAXI2GATE - OTHH-V2 P3Dv4" I agree with 787flyer' comment, T2G tends to names files strangely and at times, it can seem confusing.
  10. To be a bit more accurate, its on whatever drive you installed the P3Dv4 sim. In my case, it is E:\ .
  11. That is simply amazing! As an early teen I tried to play the ukulele. The effort lasted about a week.
  12. Try this: Open ActiveSky and in the left margin, click on "Options" (a "gear" symbol). Then select "sim text message options" Then "Show in-sim text messages" Then, Remove the check mark from the box for "Show in-sim text messages".
  13. FYI, I used PayPal with SimMarket Sat May 7 with no problems.
