Thanks a lot, Matt!
I was trying to figure out how to get a kneeboard-operable briefing to work; thanks for the help on that one!
(Though I ought to point out the FAA doesn't have jurisdiction in British Columbia - the agency is NavCanada.
)
The only problem I have with it is that if I start the flight from the flights app. icon; the briefing shows up fine, but if I start FS9 first; then select the flight from 'Flights'; the briefing doesn't display. :( Lol - I'll figure it out.
Didn't know about Bush Flying Unlimited before you mentioned it - looks like a great group!
As for a livery I'd like to make one; but that's just a bit down the road yet - I'm pretty miserable at making new textures so that'll be a learning experience.
Cheers!
Oops forgot this was in Canada. I sent you an email with the .html file attached. I tried it and it works OK for me. Hopefully it will for you.
I've been flying for BFU for about a year now. It's a little more serious than WGA but has it's fun jobs now and then too. Check out the last one I flew "King Of The Wild". That was a long one but fun to write up. Another good one is the series about "Sister Heather". It's buried back some weeks but a search should bring it up. I think there's also a copy on the BFU PIREP Hall Of Fame.
If you are looking for some flights of to fly yourself you are welcome to go over and take a flight at BFU. just make sure you post one too. They don't mind a competitor taking a job or two. I have my own charter service "Wolf Charters" although it's not as shoestring as WGA.
We fly a Lake Renegade and a Super Otter.

I'll take a look at the textures for the AC500 and see what I can come up with for a livery. It'll be mostly just editing the original textures a little. Kind of like someone painted over the current livery and scratched in the WGA.
Just tried Flight One. You maybe overdid it a little on the weather. I was flying almost blind most of the flight. ;D How I ever made it to the right airport and got on the ground I'll never know but I managed it somehow. Never did see Quesnel. Visibility it was zero zero at for that portion of the flight. To get the destination airport to let me land I had to file an IFR flight plan. Of course without a Nav Radio flying an ILS approach was an adventure and a half. :o Jerry Stumf refused a complementary flight back. Said something like, "If I ever decide to fly with WGA again somebody just shoot me." Probably because I had to fly so low to keep the landmarks in sight. Oh, have Jethro check the landing gear. I think I picked up a squirrel in one of the LG bays. ;D
Somewhere over the outer marker (I think).
Finally have a visual on the runway.
