Well getting back n the saddle or should I say cockpit is going well - and lots of fun!  I can land without damage 9 out of 10 times with the C-130, 3 out of 5 with the helicopter on an oil rig (Corpus Christie).  I got Emma and Diamond Point up and running.   I'm learning how to fly the HH 53 pave low and UH 60 helicopters.  I built a collective stick for my throttle to help fly helos, which helps.

Found my books with the instructions for  the stuff I had way back.  that's some good news and some bad.

I have the instructions for the 84 Charlie Knoxville Cessna 177 from flight one but no reg numbers documented... same for the  Piper Seneca V from FSD.  I had forgotten how realistic looking those planes were.
I did found my instructions and reg number for Geo Render 1 Ranger creek and flying M.  I remember going into Ranger Creek but don't remember flying M.

Also found reg number and instructions on Geo render 4 Darrington.    I went into the default today and (of course) it's not the same.  That's a nice pop over the mountains  from Emma and Diamond Point.   Can anyone point me in the right directions for Ranger creek and Darrington.

I found my instructions on Bryce Canyon (GR2) but I don't remember going there, I don't think that's worth putting back in.  I don't fly around there Salt Lake.

I've been doing lots of practice with the C-130 and making approaches to lots of places.  I still have a hard time without an ILS... but I'm getting, but that's the fun of it, right?

I want to thank Gary and all for all the help and advise getting things up and going.  It's been great getting back into the virtual sky.  Its both relaxing and challenging at the same time.

That's interesting Gary.  And they even modeled the real airfield the way it's is in FS!!!  That's quite a tribute to our hobby!!    It would be neat to see those places for real.  I have a sister living up there, but I don't get up at all.

I did some research on Diamond Point a while back.  I remember something about being a quarantine station.

I'd like to see Diamond Point and Ranger creek, they both look interesting.

N O T A M: To ensure that real world airfields stay the way we already have them in FS, please fly & "PIREP" these Georenders:

I posted some ZIP files at MediaFire.containing the freely-distributable installers for:


LAGO's Georender1:

Ranger Creek Airport (ICAO - 21W), Flying M Airport (ICAO - OR05)

That freely-downloadable  package at:  http://www.mediafire...dc2p1f8ci2zy8u2 ...contains:


* A ZIP of  the original (un-altered) LAGO "GEO1_201_ENG_FS2004" installer file for Georender1

* A ZIP of  the original (un-altered) LAGO "GEO1_202_ENG_FS2004_UPD.zip" installer file for Georender1 Update

* A ZIP of LAGO / VistaMare's updated Georender1 menu script file (install to: [FS9 install path]\VISTAMARE\LTA\ folder)



LAGO's Georender2:

Bryce Canyon Airport (ICAO - KBCE), Escalante Municipal Airport (ICAO - 1L7) < FS2004 only >

Hurricane Airport (ICAO - 1L8) < FS2002 only >


That freely-downloadable  package at:  http://www.mediafire...82nman11zh7hc5m ...contains:

* A ZIP of  the original (un-altered) LAGO "GEO2_200_ENG_FS2004.zip" installer file for Georender2

* A ZIP of LAGO / VistaMare's updated Georender2 menu script file (install to: [FS9 install path]\VISTAMARE\LTA\ folder)



LAGO's Georender4:

Darrington Municipal Airport (ICAO - 1S2)


That freely-downloadable  package at:  http://www.mediafire...w8e8yw0samvbbpz ...contains:

* A ZIP of  the original (un-altered) LAGO "GEO4_200_ENG_FS2004.zip" installer file for Georender4

*  A ZIP of Peter McLeland's Darrington Municipal Airport Elevation Fix of 2 AFCAD files for ICAO 1S2 (see his ReadMeFirst.txt file)

* A ZIP of LAGO / VistaMare's updated Georender4 menu script file (install to: [FS9 install path]\VISTAMARE\LTA\ folder)


CAVEATS: When re-installing / updating LAGO Georenders for FS2004...

1.) ZIP installer files are compressed; allow free space of approx. 2 -to- 3 times that size when installed to one's hard drive

2.) Use of the automated "Setup.exe" installer requires a "LAGO" serial number key ...E-Mailed to customers after purchase by LAGO


NOTE: Georender packages downloaded after purchase from simMarket reportedly also received a "LAGO" serial number key by E-Mail.


AFAIK, the same "LAGO" serial number key sent by E-Mail from either LAGO or simMarket will work for Georender installation regardless of whether ones Georender package was purchased directly from LAGO... or simMarket.



BTW: Those trying to resolve issues with sounds and animations in Georender sceneries (not with Emma Field):

Please see these threads for details on fixing issues involving the ViMa*.dll modules:

http://forum.simflig...__1#entry393865


NOTE: Near then end of the latter thread linked above, I posted a down-loadable copy of the last version of ViMaPlay.dll for FS9 Georenders etc. that VistaMare Software had available for download before that website went offline.


Please review the thread linked above before downloading this ViMaPlay.dll which IIUC, is only for FS9 Georenders etc.:

PS: I posted a ZIP file containing the installer for LAGO's Georender3 - Diamond Point (ICAO - 2WA1) at MediaFire via this thread:

Happy Flying !
