One from OrbX that is right up my alley........

This is Longview Ranch (OG39) and also included is Land's Inn Ranch (49OR)

Land's Inn is a great place to operate a crop duster out of........look out for cattle wandering across the runway Shocked
...

See the butterflies?
...

Longview Ranch is used by the Forest Service as a refueling and water filling station....
...

It can accomodate large USFS fire bombing aircraft such as the DC-10......anyone know where to get a good fire tanker repaint for Tom Ruth's DC-10???
...

Hangin' out on the tarmac....waiting for somethin' to happen Wink
...

Longview also has a 3200X120 foot artificial water runway, which makes for some challenging water landings.....look at the baby ducks Cheesy
...
OrbX hit a home run with this one as far as I'm concerned.....thanks 4 looking Smiley

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Great shots. How is the framerate? Somehow most of the Orbx airports have a big impact on my FPS.

It causes a hit on my system........I lower my autogen to normal and my FPS lock to 20 to keep it smooth Wink

Slick set Charleston! 20 locked and normal autogen is my everyday struggle-to-enjoy-it settings, but a new PC is in the works that should improve that situation...

Hi Chuck... Smiley

I have two ORBX Sceneries:
-FTX NA Blue USA/Canada Pacific Fjords
-FTX Pacific Northwest

Tried to do a flight from both the above locations you did your flight from and there was no buildings or other scenery, just the runways.

The State of Oregon, is that not in one of my ORBX Sceneries or is it part of Tongass Fjords or another ORBX Scenery Package?

Hey, Doug Cool

Unfortunately, Longview Ranch and Land's Inn are both in the Central Rocky Mountain area of the OrbX sceneries. Also they are not included in the main release. They must be purchased seperately Wink
