Nah. Scenery is Pirates Island for FS9 from SimV. I'd give you the page, but it's not showing up in the search right now. I found it earlier by doing a google search, but that ain't finding it either. Must be some of those 'tweaks' still being done. Aircraft is Mike Stone's PBY-6A. I'm still working on the repaint. Got a little more to do before it's finished.

I hadn't noticed how massive the file was, (53 MB!), until I noticed that the Progress Bar wasn't going to stop scrolling any time soon... :o... ;D...!

Paul...paused my present flight waiting for the download to finish!.. ;D...!

Well, Patch, me old Shipmate...;)...

After planting this island (somewhere) in the Caribbean Sea, and spent that past hour endlessly wandering around trying to locate it...

..how about supplying we simple Land-Lubbers with a set of coordinates for it... ;)...!

..(...Or the nearest Airfield).

When I find it, I think I will plant a NDB (or VOR) Beacon on the highest point, to be able to navigate to it by Radio*... :)...!

Paul...lost, somewhere in the Caribbean Archipelago...without a Sail!.... :'(...!

* ...with the aid of FS Navigator... :-*...!

.... ;D... ;D... ;D...!

Patch...!

My life is slowly ebbing away trying to find the exact location of this Pirate Island which I have spent what seems like days downloading and installing... :(...!

I have spent a whole afternoon searching the Google Maps for a possible area, Wikipedia for details of local Islands, U-Tube for instructions, and "flying" aimlessly around the Caribbean Islands...
...without success... >:(...!

I am surprised that the scenery designer gave no details whatsoever of precisely where it could be found after the installation!

Paul...Lost in a Triangle... :'(...!

...any chance of uploading a Map, etc, showing the exact location of the Island?

If you installed it properly it should be listed on the menu. :P :D

PIRI works in FSX, too, except it's a frame rate killer, and it appears that there is a "hard deck" about 1,000 feet ASL.

Don't forget to explore. "There be a cave filled with treasure and heathen totems, there is!"

Ta Doug!.... ;)...!

What was throwing me, is that it doesn't relate in any way to the Google Map location where I was searching... :-[...!

..and I never thought to type it into the "Go to Airport"..."Pirate Island"... :o...!

...much too bloody simple!... ;D... ;D...!

Sorted now...Ta again.. ;).!

Paul...that's used up most of my day now!... :o....!

.... ;D....!

P.S.....I'm definitely going to stick a bleedin' great NDB Radio Beacon in the middle of the Island!... ;D...!
