"Which one is the 'any' key?" It's the one nearest where your thumb is at the moment. Oh? I'm sorry, didn't realise... :lol: Good to read all these experiences. I'm a Steamer, and although it irritates by forever phoning home, the content has always delivered flawlessly. Won't hurt to stay with it, then.

Well done Bruiser, you are recalling a bunch of old members! I've just been going through my post history. Since I joined in 2009 (and haven't been here since) as an avid flight simmer I've gone to flight school, got a PPL, CPL and ATPL credits, built a career outside of aviation, launched a start-up.... and just last week I built a new PC for MSFS 2020. Quite a pleasant surprise to hear from this place again and marvellously timed also. Congratulations on your PPL, CPL and ATPL, Michael. While I haven't gone to flight school myself (yet), I did manage to get in a trial flight with the...

Considering all the map data is streamed for MSFS2020, and that is the lure of the sim, if the 90GB download is an issue you're going to have problems further down the line.

Today's pirate is tomorrow's last resort... don't get me wrong, if they steal stuff to circumvent either copyright or income I'll join the lynch mob. BUT browsing through this possibly valuable resource, bets are off about the legitimacy or otherwise of the contents, at the time! A conundrum.

I prefer the smaller airports to the bigger ones, but that is an outstanding demonstration of what can be done.

Imgur is pretty good as well BG ....and free.

hmm ok, so distribution of species is controlled, as are areas...I think we can add custom biomes so maybe that's the way. The biomes need to be quite accurate, spatially, as plantation pine is essentially a mono culture not a distribution. ...its hard to get to grips with how it all comes together without full documentation

I can't actually remember if I completed the main hanger models at nwp but they'd be too basic by msfs2020 standards anyway. Lidar derived terrain is available for this area so, once the terrain sdk is available , it will be possible to update

It was raining at Ardmore the other day in the sim when I loaded it up. It was just after a band of showers passed through in real life too so while that might have been coincidence it certainly seemed decently realistic.

Yeah, at the moment it's taking up too much time, as I'm meant to be working on P3Dv5 installers, and I keep just wanting to try something in MFS.... Still, I think I've got NZCH for v5 sussed, I just want to try some toned-down ground textures, as P3Dv5 tends to have a very different tonal range. I can certainly see a time when MFS is the only real simulator, and I can't wait to see some of my objects working in it. I've had only positive results, it worked like a charm in my old PC, and works so much better in the new one. I'm aware that not everyone has the same experience, but that was...

Thanks Andrew Just done a quick flight from NZWB to Omaka using the saved cache all went fine. Have even got my thousand yr old Microsoft Sidewinder joystick working.

Great pic of BXH and parked on the old gate 16 at Wellington I think. Brings back memories of heading out head down into a howling northerly or southerly carrying the loadsheet out to the Fokkers. Tap on the fuselage and shout the take off weight to the captain when he opened the window. Head down to the rear stairs, get the head count off the flight attendant, who sometimes got confused between a 40 and 48 seater F27 :D Back the flight deck with the final loadsheet then back to the office to recover..............fun times.

Good stuff, so good to have regular updates. Fun times :)

Required Specs are quite modest I wish!!!! I am on laptop. :lol: :lol: :lol: :D :D :D :D Regards, Aharon

Bugger I posted the wrong link! My apologies.
