I made my first flight yesterday. Upon take-off I made a right turn to make a low pass over the airport before heading to Calgary, then suddently I was surrounded by birds....... Wow..... I had a quick look down to see if anything looked as the hudson river, just in case ....... No joy.... only nice fields with hay balls.

But fortunately, the electronic birds spared my Citabria and I proceeded without any more incidents..

Nice touch Vlad.... Appreciated... !!

Thanks a lot orbx and Vlad for this great little airport! The immersion when taking off from this narrow runway is unbelievable! And all this for free!

And cvearl, thanks for the charts, much appreciated.

It does bring into focus, for me at least, a need for FlagFlow technology. Seeing a flag stuck out like a piece of cardboard....
Anyway, I digress. Terrific work and FREE! :D



I'm a complete layman, when it comes to scenery design, so the following maybe nonsense. Wasn’t it possible to create flags out of windsocks or, let’s say, to give windsocks the shape of flags? This would let the flags flutter in the wind.

Apparently it isn't that easy, but the guys are working on it... Thus, for now, just a static Meaple Leaf... :)

Sectionals you might want to hit up a Pilot Shop for paper versions of Calgary VNC and Vancouver VNC and Prince George VNC and lastly Edmonton VNC.

Oh and if you are a user of Real World Weather.... Before you fly CEN4, better check. :)

Vlad,

You really outdid all the other freeware, as good as it all is. Often went down to High River and love the town. The area looks ultra real. Fine, fine job my friend!

Kind regards,
Stephen

Still very dissapointed waiting for NRM payware airports, but there freeware ones are fantastic. They take a bit of the hurt out of watching areas AFTER NRM already getting high quality payware while we have been neglected. :(
