Land of the Midnight Sun

After watching Ice Road Truckers, I decided to take a trip from Coldwater to Deadhorse, in December.

Thanks Justin.
I had not planned to take any shots, but I've learned to go ahead and load FRAPS just in case. When I took off, it was so beautiful I just started taking shots. I need to fly more up there in the winter.

I love that beaver.  Custom scenery?

Happens to me a lot, I load up RapidShot everytime I fly just in case.

I know...I know...you are going to say...OOOOHHHH here he goes again....

I was thinking of your comment about watching "Ice Road Truckers"...

Did you know that the Beaver was known as the "Half Ton Truck of the North"?

Hi Larry...

I agree with you about an DeHavilland of Canada DHC-3 radial or turbine Otter for FSX....

Here are some specs if you want to take the time and read them....

From what I see the Turbo Otter will out perform a wheeled Kodiac even on Amphibious Floats and it is odd how closely the Kodiac and Caravan resemble the Beaver and the Otter.

Hi Larry you are welcome...

You must have been copying my post while I was adding to it....

That's okay...

Also while I have your attention I notice there are several great new float plane bases in the Scenery Downloads.

Now I have done those downloads with the FSX Rocks and Mountains, Trees etc.

[color=#000000]I don't know which ones you are referring to Doug, but the ones I have added work fine so far. Except Katie's Lagoon, which puts a number of buildings and other objects either in the air or partly inside a cliff. But I don't think that has to do with other addon scenery. I think it has to do with the anomalies I've been having, probably due to a corrupt mesh, which I have yet to locate.
