Checking out the amphibious Beaver in the Bella Bella area ...

Thanks for the nice feedback guys. Much appreciated. One more for the weekend ...

I wanted to sart messing with winter to see if it were possible:

Still working on Autumn textures, seems the autogen will need to be slightly modified since it has its own trees.....Also UM will need a slight upgrade to make the urban areas seem more fall like:

Yes.. now not only you have to keep the torque or EGT below limits.. but also the RPM. More fun!

Hi Colin, Indeed, Recuva's ability to detect "deleted" files depends on what it sees in the partition table - which in your case has been overwritten / blown away / edited. But it's free, and is ok for simple recoveries of accidentally deleted data. The tool I have in mind on Hiren's CD isn't Recuva AFAIK. The CD has evolved over the years with some tools being dropped and some being added. I'll check tomorrow when I get in the office as to the name and version of the tool in question, and I'll have alook around at home, I might have it handy. I've looked through the app listing of the current Hiren offering, I am not 100% convinced I see the app I have in mind. I'll dig it out and confirm either way for you. Cheers James

Be nice if you can perfect that John...the only thing I miss from my long uninstalled MFS are the seasonal variations options.

Hi mj12345, awesome, was wondering what was happening with the tail group. Ryan M's photo is what I was on about....the from wheel is crazy forward, although if you are going to alter the final position later then please ignore my request Slainte, Andy NZCH

JS32 all over Turkey last night. One of these days I'll manage to get some traction and head towards home (NA).

I feel for you, Colin. Same thing happened to me with the 747. Luckily, i had most of my files saved in dropbox as ghost images and was able to retrieve them. Not meaning to make this sound like an "I told you so!", but if you're going to make something for X-Plane, or anything else, you need a back up drive or some other kind of backup (cloud). Not doing so is like swinging on a trapeze without a net. Best of luck in getting your stuff back.

One drive in the computer acts as the live, "production" drive.Another drive in the computer as a hot backup for my data, getting daily updates.A third drive (external) which is updated every month or so remains offsite... just in case.I've had hard drives die on me, and I've even lived through an apartment fire (*rat bastard neighbor falling asleep smoking) - haven't lost one bit of important data in a decade. If the data on your computer is truly important to you, a strong backup plan for your home computer data is quite a cheap insurance policy.... especially in this day and age of digital family photos. This is something you don't often think about until it's too late, as Colin is now understanding. Learn from his situation. Back up your data.

Three strikes. You're out.

Since you asked for it, here are a few new shots of the amphibious Beaver flying close to Juneau, Alaska. Hope you like what you see ...

Page Field (KFMY) is a popular GA airport in Fort Myers, Florida. It's a perfect airport for flight training, where I logged 20 hours or so back in 2000. Since then the airport has grown, both in aircraft population and infrastructure. If you are into GA flying, or business jets as large as 727s, this is the hub for you. Page Field is also a great airport for cross country flying. Located in Southwestern Florida, it's easily accessible to Orlando, Lakeland, Tampa, St. Pete, Palm Beach, Vero, Miami, Key West, Naples, and it's nearby companion, KRSW. My goal was to make this airport as realistic as possible for the sake of practicing IFR cross country procedures. This is my first airport scenery endeavor, and I did my best to recreate FMY and its infrastructure, including a usable Class C airspace, for X-Plane 10. Here's what I came up with: Completely accurate airport layoutCustom Objects, accurately representing facilities including Base Ops (FBO), hangars, tarmac layout, parking lots, etc. Multiple starting points for single/multi-prop and jets, including hangar space and tie-down spots. Global lighting attached to every building.ATC pathsTaxiway and Runway signsOpenScenery X for aircraft population only (grouped and labeled; easily removable in WED)The only thing I'm missing is palm trees and some small shrubbery. I've tried some custom objects, but haven't quite taken to them yet. I have an orthophoto, but I'm not including it in the first version. I'm in the final stage of testing the file and organizing the folder contents. I hope to upload by next week. Let me just say that I am so grateful for the many of you whose how-to posts have been a huge help! I do have one logistical problem that I can't solve. Any ideas how to move what appears to be the airport VOR or glideslope beacon (as shown)? It doesn't show up in WED, and it's not where it *should be.* I'd like to not have to move the taxiway (which has only existed at FMY for a couple years now)

I've started working on the ortho-underlay for KFMY. Thanks to Chris K I managed to keep WED 1.2 from crashing as I placed the ortho TIFFs and downsampled to 4096 pixels. I took a look in X-Plane, and my jaw dropped. It looks so life-like. Here's what they look like without any manipulation: I plan to remove some buildings and shadows and "lay some sod" around Base Ops, as the photo was taken during its construction. Then, I will probably DDS these, as I did notice that having 6 4096px PNGs absolutely killed my FPS with textures rendering at "very high." Once this update is finished, I'm moving on to...ahem...the international airport.

And I will be buying as soon as it is out... NorCal + Oregon + Washington = awesome. Above + SoCal + Arizona = dream.

Remlap By the time you've taken the time to visit this website, typed all your questions, read the answers, retyped the same questions again, read the same answers again, then typed yet again a question on the same subject; just to have us remind you that you need to seek permission from Aerosoft before redistribution.. ....you could have finished the entire project and been flying around it by now. - CK.

redid the main cockpit area and added 2 of the three seats in the cockpit and added the engineers panel and made the nose gear
