Finally found one you had not posted shots of. I just don't know if it's Snow Dog Tours or something else. But I'm pretty sure it's  one of MoCat's because of the P.O.W. flag.

Scenery is Joe Taylor's Alaska Airports. It's about half way between Grayling and Kaltag

on an island in the Yukon River, ESE of Unalakleet. It's not on any map, so I have no idea of the name.

Edited:





Those barrels don't give off much light at night. But they do mark the runway, if you can call it that.






Back home at Unalakleet.

Thanks for looking.

Thanks Pepe.

I took some shots last night at dusk, but they were just too dark and the fire in the barrels didn't show up.

Wow...wonderful Larry...my kind of hangout...

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

Nice shots indeed, and nice choice of airplane too

About half way between Grayling and Kaltag you said ? That's in Alaska, so it must be Snow Dog Tours version 4. I have to check that place, it looks lovely 
Thanks for the indications of the place.

By the way, don't you get a huge performance impact when the scenery objects get in the field of view ? I had a dramatic FPS loss during what seemed to be an "instant-loading" of the scenery each time I stop watching it and look at it again after some seconds.

However, I managed to kill this performance impact by converting the textures to DTX1. The only problem is that I used a mass-conversion tool to do that, very handy, but the program "forgets" to tilt the textures upside down, so all the textures are now inverted :/

Well, it's not really a hit on FPS in fact. Once the textures are loaded, then the FPS is ok. It's the loading itself, at the very precise moment when the scenery gets visible, that cause an important freeze of the sim, despite my SSD drives :/

Now I managed to solve completely the problem though.
ConvIm (from the same site as DXTBMP) to mass convert the BMP originals to normal 32 bits 888 BMPs.
Then I used IrFanView to mass-vertical-flip all those pictures
The finally, I used again ConvIm to convert those flipped pictures to DTX1. Too bad I don't have the choice for DTX3 or something better :/ But it works, I lost a bit of details (fences not transparent anymore), but globally it's ok, and the scenery loading is not a problem anymore.

I hope your glasses are working better than mine.

Patchz, on Flying Wild Alaska, Jim Tweto lands the Cessna 180 on a small strip with water on both ends. (a few times) Any idea what the location is? I can't remember where it was and I'd like to check it out in the sim for myself.

Sorry Doug, I missed the 'my kind of hangout' the first time.
Are you sure? Those are not rockin' chairs in front of the tent.
