WWPlague Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 I like the paint scheme. I see one door on the port side. Non turbo engines? Slower, but you dont use all that fuel just on taxi-ing. I guess not a big deal at a smaller airport, no waiting 10 min for your turn, after departures and landings. Fadec engine control? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWChunk Posted May 25, 2019 Author Share Posted May 25, 2019 Yep, non-turbo pistons. There is a turbine version of the Duke that’s also a hoot to fly, but every now and again, I just want to drag this bird out. I like the early 80’s paint scheme as well.

WWChunk Posted May 28, 2019 Author Share Posted May 28, 2019 (edited) Took the Aero Commander out for a spin. From Felts Field (KSFF) to Bonner's Ferry (65S). Edited May 28, 2019 by WWChunk a semi-colon is not a colon...when it comes to code ;) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWGriphos Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I've looked at this model for XP11. I think I have enough big twins though. Nice flight over nice country. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWGriphos Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Sunny SoCal, it looks like. Orbx released PNW for XP11. I’ll probably get it when it goes on sale. Most of the best sim flying I’ve done was in their original PNW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWChunk Posted June 25, 2019 Author Share Posted June 25, 2019 Nope...Half Moon Bay to Cloverdale. TE Washington looks amazing from about 2000 feet AGL, but some of the screenshots when the aircraft are down low do not look good at all, is that just how ortho scenery works?

WWSandMan Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Jealous of the V-Tail flights... Mine has been collecting dust recently. Some issue with P3D, crashes every time I start. Really don't want to do the whole rebuild scenario, but I may have to. ((pout!)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWChunk Posted June 25, 2019 Author Share Posted June 25, 2019 As much as I like P3D, it requires almost as much maintenance as FSX did back in the day. At least in IL-2, I can just fire it up and fly. But...the V-Tail is f'n gold! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWGriphos Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Yeah, how ortho works. That’s why desert areas are so much nicer. The detail is small, and you can get pretty close and it still look good. Even very good. You’ve seen some of my shots of interior SoCal and Nevada. I’m about 1000 AGL in quite a few of those. I regret buying Southern and Central England from them for that reason. I fly low, and it gets pretty messy a lot of the time over that scenery. I debate uninstalling it. Takes up a lot of hard drive. I shouldn’t have bought any of the England stuff in either sim. Oh well. At least XP11 is pretty pain free. Lots of updates, but mostly everything works right away afterward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWChunk Posted June 26, 2019 Author Share Posted June 26, 2019 Thanks for that tidy explanation Griph! TE Washington looks incredible in most shots, but not good at all in others. It is my new home state though, so once I get X-Plane, it's going to be a must have. That being said, P3D still looks damn good, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WWChunk Posted August 19, 2019 Author Share Posted August 19, 2019 Been awhile since I fired up P3D. So here's a trip from 0S9 --> KBVS --> 74S --> KORS. Enjoy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWFawlty Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 (edited) I've taken that ferry a number of times. #10 Looks like very familiar territory Chunk, nice Edited August 20, 2019 by Fawlty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWChunk Posted August 20, 2019 Author Share Posted August 20, 2019 Thanks Fawlty! I took my wife and kids up there this past weekend, and it was fantastic. The ferry ride was fun and we took a whale watching boat out to the south of Lopez Island and spend an unbelievably amazing hour watching eight members of the southern resident orca pod play around in the Salish Sea. Once in a lifetime stuff. I also spent way too much near KORS watching planes come and go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
