    New Bush Scenery (FS9)

    in GA & Bush Flying

    Posted

    I have started to mess around with the sim again after about a year off. I have a scenery in the works and should have her ready to go shortly. I will post more about it after it is tested. It will be available at my site as FREEWARE, as all my other work has been. Tight bush is back! :lol:

    EZ Scenery Question

    in Tongass Fjords FS2004 Support Forum

    Posted

    Hi all! I have jumped into this Tongass / Misty / Glacier Bay with both feet. Infact, I relocated my VA there because of the scenery. This is TRULY the ULTIMATE in Alaskan scenery. I do have one question. I downloaded about a million EZ files for some of the add on sceneries available for the area. I read some of the readmes, and they indicate that they can go into one folder. I also read some others that indicate they should be added as a seperate scenery item. That sounds unusual to me. Should I go ahead and dump ALL the files into one BIG scenery folder so it only has one scenery entry?

    My thanks once again to Holger et al for all their work on these FANTASTIC sceneries, and also to the add on authors for doing a fine job keeping their sceneries in the same pattern and style as Holger's. I went to fly for a fifteen-minute flight the other night and after two hours I landed. It is addicting!

    Thanks for any info you can give to me.

    Prost!

    Man! That has to be the mother of all rocks! I guess they had to blow it up to get it moved. Imagine what that puppy weighs. Pretty close tie with my mother-in-law! :wink: Guess they'll have to make the sign a bit bigger now! They are SERIOUS about rock slides!!

    If it's Canadian dollars, it would not be a bad price.

    But compared to similarly sized aircraft it is expensive in US dollars, unless they quite severely change the aircraft to make it a lot more than it was (more quiet, more luxury and equipment, etc.) and thus heavier...

    But of course it is a niche aircraft, making a higher price possible as there's hardly any competition (else those old Twotters wouldn't likely be flying today).

    Closest is probably the PC12 which is smaller and less ground clearance (plus being single engined is illegal for airline operations in many countries).

    Even in U.S. dollars it's a good deal. Look at the price of USED Beech King Airs. They seat less than half that (19), and a 25-30 year old one costs right at a million.
