Turning inside the basin to land at HYL

Just a touch of power

So, unstrap from your ejection seat, climb down out of your aluminum spam can, walk away from that glass cockpit and come on out to some grassroot flying in a bugsmasher.  Here are a few you might have fun with.

There are many more aircraft on wheels, skis and floats that can be downloaded from the Simviation site to have a lot of fun with.

Just saw the topics. Nice little flight you've done there. FSX can be really pleasant for this kind of flight, exploring the area has never been so interesting, even with default scenery.
And MoCat sceneries are really excellent. I just wish the textures would load faster, the scenery causes great stutters for a second or two everytime the buildings appear on the screen. It's related to the textures, if I understood correctly. I was given the instructions to solve the problem, but never took the time to try.

[color=#000000]It's not the first time Doug has posted a shot from the MoCat scenery. Which caused me to try it. Unfortunately, it appears it is FSX 'only', as none of the structures showed up. But I had to try it because it looked so good, just the type of scenery I love. And I have often found FSX aircraft/scenery to work in FS9, but not this one. :(

Great shots Doug.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.
