gday David ... i apologize for not responding at the time to your landing praise at Watt's - lest you think i am immune to such flattery it is amazing how such small things boost one's spirit. on the other hand i must show my appreciation for the detailed planning you do for the briefings of flyins like these two at Watt's Bridge. to challenge our VFR flying it might be good for you to sometimes give us waypoints and landings only and some general flying guidance for the route. perhaps you could sometimes set a particular sim time that we should all use. i will share my method for the VFR flyins. since we are flying day.vfr i set sim time as local - x based on our nominal 1000z departure time. i might want the experience of landing a half hour before sunset or other particular time. BUT if i was asked for time by ATC or another pilot, i would call xx minutes past the hour current UTC. wind and weather have been said to be tricky but for me it is either current VATSIM wx and wind or fair wx and current VATSIM wind. i check a few wind sources to get a current wind picture for the flight. sometimes ops trump wind as for example last night at Southport with the wind SW pilots chose 01 for takeoff. okay then. join the traffic flow. regards joe

style settings are doing a weird invisible thing on links. for the following events also.

I'm so glad that "Beaufort West" and "Beaufort East" are named for ease of communication.

along with many others i really enjoyed this event. i think that this 'scaled down' event, smaller area, closer airfields, atc available, has the potential to include more small aircraft in the mix of real world flying situations. the briefing could include a few points for smaller aircraft [2, 4, 6, 10 seat] to encourage those pilots to fly in such events. being able to monitor the centre frequency is an excellent way to involve smaller aircraft in the flying atmosphere. one issue was that some larger aircraft did not use CTAF frequencies as the briefing described. to a pilot on the CTAF this is the same as a pilot not making a call. then follows a scramble to find out what frequency the other aircraft is using and make unnecessary calls to establish pilot intentions. if there are a few aircraft in the airfield area that could become a bit tricky. let us have more of these style of events and i encourage all smaller aircraft pilots to discover how they can muchly increase our flying enjoyment.

can anyone say which of these fields are available in FSX scenery? thanks.

that's 0830 pm ADST

gday. another item of note is the broadcast area - Old Bar to Port Macquarie which would make Old Bar coms 118.1

yeah, it's a bit like deja vu all over again - - - - - - - - - - - - - >

the link to OZx AUS V 3.5 is to the last zip in a series of zips which will likely not work without the full series the complete series is at https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/fslib.php?searchid=75989058 though as Robert Fluke has noted https://orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/174134-flukeys-airports-auv2/?tab=comments#comment-1525479 there may be trouble if you have Orbx AuV2 installed. others are wary - Orbx Au2 + Other Add on Scenery i have not seen any [trouble] yet but i am very conservative with installing scenery. i install scenery into folders so that it can be turned off for debugging.

there are many glitches, broken links when installing Alan Blencowe's Complete Scenery Collection Alan Blencowe's site is at http://www.alanblencowe.com/
