the Pan Am Terminals

[crisger]

Greetings to all here, i am new to FS and new here, and wanted to say hello. I have been quietly researching and gathering resources and add ons for months now, and finally got my FS9 fired up and running four days ago, and you can all imagine what a pleasure this is. I am a naval history buff and devoted student and this interest covers flight and of course the Clippers which have long been a delight and fascination for me, having grown up watching the PBY's and other seaplanes in San Diego in the OLD navy days....and having family in the Navy afloat and aloft in both the big wars and since. well, i am now flying Mike's beautiful B 314 Clipper and i found Real Stars and Real Moon and hope to try my hand at nav the old way......but i need terminals. I found the very nice scenery set for terminals for FS2002 but i cant get them to show up in FS9, is there a way to convert them that is ok with the makers and will work on 2004? I own 2002 as well as FX but my main install is FS9 because of the plethora of add ons and range of sceneries.

They are from this page:

www.bluegrassairlines.com/bgas/clip_feature.htm

and dl are here :

www.bluegrassairlines.com/bgas/hangar/2002.html

I am very hopeful, and appreciative, and am wiling to put my shoulder to the virutal wheel if this will take some additonal work and it woud be ok with the makers....if they read here.

thanks again for this great forum and the BGA resources. Wanted to say hi here, and will hopefully be around as time goes along, a lot to learn. thanks

You are looking for floats_02 updated in 2007.

I haven't had any problems with running fs2002 scenery in FS9.

Sometimes the shoreline is slightly off. I've noticed this at St Lucia.

Bill, thanks so much for the fast reply. I am eager to see these if poss. I did load that file up and activated it, but my problem is i dont know how to find the locations in the create a flight list of airports. I am a very new noob, i plead.... and i looked thru the whole list looking for the names that were on the pan am terminals, and did not see them under the states or the names... i will check again. is there a id number to put into the id slot? thanks for any help, and please forgive my ignorance, i am an eager learner...

but i see i think this is a new file set? i will try . thanks sooo much.

You need to contact Bud's Bud. He's our resident expert on Naval Aviation History. He lived it - flew PBY's in the Pacific and R4D's in Europe.

Crisger,

The float based don't show up on the airport/city/state list.

Click on the "Search add-on scenery" button to see a list.

I believe Honolulu is some where on down wind.

I have my Sikorsky VS-44 setup with a compass and bubble Sextant and an old DF from the Lockheed vega, no GPS.

it is very rewarding to see that little island show up on the horizon with type of naviation.

You all have FUN
