Hueyman Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Hello dudes ! I don't know if this has been already posted, but I found ( and just starting to watch right now ) a show that looks to be very interesting ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zy9_pZrT1GA I know there are some serious bush flying enthusiasts around here, such Bamboo Cougar and such ;-) That really makes me want to use the Carenado Caravan, as well as the incoming Beaver for SMS ! Sadly, what we miss here is good african ( or any bushy land ) sceneries and appropriates missions. Hope that market will develop a bit in the times to come, making accurate airplanes is not the only thing that bring entertainment ... missions a la FSX could add a huge added value to X-Plane ! ( hint hint !! ) Good watch 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hueyman Posted October 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 You have the Caravan, the C185, soon the Beaver and maybe one day my own PC-6 ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pryoski Posted October 15, 2013 Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Australian Outback (Northern Territory, Western Australia, Northern Queensland, the Red Centre, South Australia etc) and Papua New Guinea has some excellent bush flying as well . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hueyman Posted October 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Yeah that's so true ! And PNG especially is the kingdom of Susi Air and their Turbo Porters ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hueyman Posted October 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2013 Tons of great PNG ( and over bush places ) videos here : , on the venerable Pil' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pryoski Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 (edited) Hey Valentin, that last video is in West Papua (technically not PNG) ... the signs were in Indonesian, and the Porter has an Indonesian rego. Have fond memories of the PC-6 ... brilliant plane ... but the model I flew as baggage had steam dials. Of course also looking forward to you finishing yours (I hope it has steam dials!).Hope it doesn't take too long.

Hueyman Posted October 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 Yess you're definitely true sorry for the mistake about location, I admit I don't know very well those areas ;-) The one I look after is one of the oldest in service so yes it as standard needle instruments. It really depends on what I'll do in the next months, now I have a lot of spare time so I can work on it up to 9hours a day, but there is so much work to do and when it's your first plane, learning plane maker, Blender, Photoshop, animations etc ... it's a mountain of work, but so interesting ! Anyway, this TV show of Bush Pilot is really sweet to look at ;-) But I can't see the whole season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mario Donick Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 Thanks for this video recommendation. Very interesting! I really like that the style of the documentation is not as hectic as in some other shows (e.g. in Flying Wild Alaska), so it's easier to follow even for a non-native speaker. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APUtech Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 (edited) It's a great show. I learned to fly in Alaska back in the 70s, and it was really cool to see some places that I'd either been to, or flown over in my time overseas. Bush flying ain't for everyone, but once you get it in your blood, there's no getting it out. Great post!
