Great looking scenery Don.

Looking forward to installing it :-)

I just (virtually) bought a Supercub in Yakatat and I'm in the process of moving it to Fairbanks at the Chena Marina. I intend to fly it in FSE making v$ in central Alaska.

Thanks for the screenshot!!

How about Tongass Adventures.....

or, Tongass Fjords Discovery Center and treat the website like a Forest Service Center where one comes to find information about the area and get downloads etc.....

[Scenery ADD ON for TF!]

Look'n fantastic Brian!! Thanks :-)

[Not very good performance]

Good idea on the clouds Victor.

I use the HIFPS clouds provided by Chris Willis (I think thats the author) and I get about 19-20 FPS at Sitka running AS.

Thanks Peter!! Just picked it up from SimMarket :-) Thanks for your reply...

[TAWS in Little Bandit...]

Peter, fantastic shots!!

Quick question, how do you like the Simflyers GPS? I've been looking at the GNS 530/430 package and the package that has the MX20/GNS480.

(Yes I know they are reskinned versions of the default GPS :-) )

Thanks in advance!!

[Troubles with Realair Cessna 172...]

Thanks for the info Scott and sorry that didn't fix your problem with the RA 172.

Thanks alot Jeff!!

[Troubles with Realair Cessna 172...]

Hi Jeff,

What I posted may not fix Scotts problem. It sounded from his post that he may (I'm guessing here as he didn't state where he was flying into) have been trying to get the 172 into a strip with a short runway. During testing of FSCargo, Japp ran into a problem with the Carenado 182RG and the "full_flaps_stall_speed=50.00000" in the aircraft.cfg file. By changing that setting in my Carenado 182RG cfg file to 49.99 it solved the problem.

So yes, it may be more accurate to say "in the range 0 - 49 for all short. med and long runways" because if the full_flaps_stall_speed is set to 50, then you can't use that plane to get into any short runway.

If anyone out there has the Realair 172, could you check that full_flaps_stall_speed setting and report what it's value is? Thanks!!

[Troubles with Realair Cessna 172...]

Hi Scott,

About the Realair 172....It sounds like a similiar problem with the Carenado 182RG that Jaap solved for us. I hope he doesn't mind, but I'm going to post his solution instead of plagerising(sp?) it lol...

______________________________________________________

Just to let you all know: there is an issue when using Flight One's Carenado Cessna 182RG Skylane II. This plane is unusable to fly to cargo areas on airfields with a short RWY's (FSCargo's declaration of it) and cannot be used to fly to those nice little rural airfields we all know, for instance Emma Field, Sky Harbor, Wenatchee, Skykomisch etc. etc., all with short RWY declarations I pressume. When you use cargo area files with only short RWY's you get the FSCargo error that there is no suitable assignment possible for this plane, change to another plane etc (or whatever). This problem can easily be overcome. It is caused by the following:

When an assignment is generated, the full-flap stall speed (FFSP) of the current aircraft is checked and:

1) if in the range 0 - 50 KTS, all short, medium and long rwys can be used

2) if in the range 50 - 100 KTS, only medium and long rwys can be used

3) if above 100 KTS, only long rwys can be used.

(all Maurizios words).

Now, when you look into the aircraft.cfg file of the Carenado you see this (under [Reference Speeds]):

full_flaps_stall_speed=50.00000

And this is in the category 2) and 3) above. So generating assignments for short RWY's is impossible.

When you change this 50.00000 in 49.00000 in the aircraft.cfg file your problem is solved. And... what's 1 mile per hour in a human's life .

Maybe this problem will pop up in the FSCargo support forum. This is the answer for it .

Sorry for this long explanation for such a minor problem.

I just emailed them asking for one.

[Some Misty shots using the new BirdsEyeView beta textures]

Well, I can see that the rock textures don't look anything like my rock textures.

Koorby, thanks for the nice pics.
