Lovely bird, loud, slow and not so agile, lots of rudder and yoke inputs to keep her rolling.

Add-ons used:

Alabeo Waco
ORBX PNW
REX Overdrive
Shade & 24 Hour ENB
Accufeel also works with this bird

She sounds great.

She flies great.

Don't try this at home.

Course set for Bowerman. Wish she had a gps Undecided

Well worth the money

Fantastic shots !

When you're flying over Ranger Creek, just follow that valley that gets around Mt Rainier. Go to the south side of the Mt, you'll find Packwood not far away. A lovely quiet little airfield

Down the valley there's another one, with grass/mud runway though. And in the mountains nearby, there a nicer airport, not so visible until you get really close to it... 39P or something really similar, I can never remember. This area used to be my favorite area back in the FS9 days, together with Concrete. Now with FSX and OrbX PNW, it's even worse Grin

Got bloom ?
Got mountains ?
Got damage ?

Thank you for the heads up on those bush strips.

I added the default GPS to this bird as a 2d pop-up.

A little frustrating to fly an area without GPS when one does not have flight maps.

Works a charm now, so I could go visit those strips.

PNW makes everything better! Great Shots! Try flying through the mountains in Idaho, (my back yard Grin

) and see how you do with that! Wink
