Finding the farm strips around Nelson, NZ
Thanks for commenting, John, appears not to be an opinion shared by the 158 bots that have also viewed the post! Appears the AVSIM Board is broken, too: some of the pictures appeared as links only when inserted as URL. Not worth the trouble it seems, especially since AVSIM stopped taking BBCode from FlickR, and FlickR doesn't offer a URL to insert. Pasting BBCode works everywhere else, and did for 17 years here, too.

Finding the farm strips around Nelson, NZ
The strips are rugged and quite difficult to find. The PAC 750 is the right machine for the job. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54263433981_b3f9152017_4k.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54263434026_1e6c14ea49_3k.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54263433966_b04ada0887_3k.jpg

Only one shot.
Aaaand... it's a lovely one!

What a treat to be taken through some of JanKees' extraordinary hangar collection! (That's a B-24 if I'm not mistaken)

It's a Grass Strip Kind of Day
Very well done series...somehow I associate Waco with Duesenberg, they reflect a different time do they not?

I just pasted the "Share" link from Flickr and the forum software automatically embedded it as per above. There's an offer while posting to "insert Image from URL", not sure what that does. I guess you have to do whatever works on your system, a little bit surprising from a site like AVSIM?

So from Flickr I had edited the BBCode which contains the string below, which I didn't realise is quicker if you use "Share". It would just have been a bit easier if AVSIM in changing the way it accepted screenshots, had mentioned HOW

Afterthought: be good to see if the Dreamscenery night lighting from Marketplace works over this update!

Discover London low and slow after WU XVII
We stayed in London recently, and from our hotel on Buckingham Gate could easily stroll around to many of these famous landmarks. We jumped on a Thames ferry to Greenwich, and I can confirm there are no sandbanks around the boats! When the sim update came around I thought I would take my helicopter out of EGLC up the reverse track along the Thames, to compare. Lucky I scrolled the posts here before posting what amounts to a duplicate trip! Great minds... great series of shots, high immersion and you'll agree the update nailed it with those few proviso's. Especially agree with you on HMS Belfast, it is such an iconic fixture on the river, right next to Tower Bridge; they really should put it in I dropped ORBX EGLC into the sim, and am seeing stutters for the first time ever. Maybe there will be a post-update mod.

Calgary Airport CYYC
Thanks for the tour! What a complex and extensive scenery... On balance I am wondering about the level of internal detail current in the sim sceneries. Sure it's great to see the departure boards and people (but never in convincing numbers) in the terminal, but I find I look at it all... once. Is the computing - and possibly cost - overhead worth it, long term? Any following flights start and end at the gate. Much more important in my eyes would be: is the airport train well animated? Does the scenery integrate well with the surrounds? Are the roads properly linked, does the traffic flow in a convincing fashion? All the stuff you would see flying in and out of, or maybe about, the place

I upgraded from AS v6 to ASE and have no problem with what I see in the sim. Perhaps I am not as observant...

Hawaii Helicopter AI Traffic
Probably best to head the payware route: UTT has EC120 and S-76 AI traffic packages worldwide. Flight1's Helo Traffic package lets you easily create your own as required.
