Everybody and his brother has the Orbx AuBlue Demo, but I still thought these shots were special enough to share... This is where I'm a "Virtual Rutan 61 Long-EZ owner". ATC, Long runway and nice GA ammenities. I also love Orbx's freeware aussie traffic. Runs surprisingly well!

watching the AI make a steep (yipe!) approach and bumpy (omph!) landing. I'm in GA parking, just above the 172's left wing...

Gotta love the colorful line-up of aircraft parked on the apron! all real AI traffic too! Not static!

Thanks for looking! C+C welcome! 8-)

Nice shots. :)
Makes we want to do some flying down there, it's been a while. I have the Rutan for FS9 but have not tried to see if it works in FSX or looked for an FSX version. It's a nice little bird.

Great shots! The Rutan is something not often seen around here, so it is nice to see something different!

Funny, I just so happened to fly out of Launceston last night! Didnt happen to see an F7F takeoff, did ya?  ;)

Thanks Larry, I have the Alphasim Rutan 61 for FSX, however I don't know what the situaton is with them... wonder if it will be made available as freeware? :-? anywho, it does seem to be a rare bird... I'll try to feature it more for you guys!

@Skunkworks - You're making me want to dust of that movie!!  :D :D :D

@GtiRob01 - the Tigercat? yeah I was the little white-winged fool lined up on 32L, after take-off you would have seen me somersalting in your wake...  :D ;D
