Hi there,....does anyone from you know, if the files: pngapts3.zip work with FSX, cause they are made for FS9........?
I tried all these png zip FS9 files for FSX...it works... but do NOT do..... it is nice to see all the houses and planes and sceneries, but the mix of FS9 and FSX is not as realistic as you would wish..... so its not worth trying....just waste some time....for FS9 it is GREAT though, but for FSX you should wait till someone creates the necessary textures and sceneries for FSX.....
good flights and happy landings....

A quick not for the FSX users who have used some of the freeware add-on scenery. If you haven't noticed, the runway at Goroka may be incorrectly named. Rwy 17 is incorrectly labelled Rwy 35 and vice versa. So now you won't get confused like I was - just for a minute though. Cheers Andrew

The old avatar dates back to Oct 09 whilst "barging" on the rivers and canals of France. This is a very recent (and clean shaven) self portrait taken with my iPad 2. Cheers Andrew

. . . The old avatar dates back to Oct 09 whilst barging on the rivers and canals of France. . . . . . . where you had so obviously been enjoying yourself. Whereas in this mug shot, you appear to have just been informed that your stock portfolio has been rendered worthless, and that you've somehow contracted a "naughty" disease.

Just a note: We are have to endure a nasty winterstorm here in Switzerland: "a coldfront from russia bestowed us with -10°C and adverse winds from the east!" That holds for the next days.. back I go to Australia...

Good on you mate! ;D (as the Aussies say) Just finished last leg myself a couple of minutes ago. I think this GAAR was one of the best ever! Indeed VERY challenging at times and certainly not boring. I liked the cargo- and fuel restrictions. It made you think twice about correctly loading your plane before you even were thinking of taking off. Compliments to Andrew. Cheers Paul

Due to floods we had about 3 weeks ago, I am still without ADSL. We have very limited and slow Internet connection and I am unable to submit my PIREPS by email.

Regards Johan van Wyk Johan, Sorry to hear about the floods and I hope you escaped without too much damage, if any. I must admit I was wondering what had happened to you. I have received your PM with your first few PIREPs. Just get them to me when you can. Cheers Andrew
