A Rare Classic Amphibian...

[petermcleland]

Well I've finished here now and just having a walk round to check things over:-


Even got a windsock now...

The final few shots can be seen tacked onto the end of my original thread here:-

Well, Quite a lot in those screenies that I don't seem able to find in my installation (Pump attendant, big blue barn amongst other stuff)

Anyway regardless of that I was wondering why the copilot needed 'alcohol' ???

Yes, well spotted Jim...At present the big building over on the other side of the bay (Marine Services) will only show for those who have Freight Dogs installed. I'm afraid the people belong to someone else so only I have them...I do have plans for using the principle to display my own people and then I'll share them, but I've not really got into that project yet.

I don't think you have the beach hut yet either Jim...I'll do something about that one soon...Let me know about any other bits...There is an old hermits hut up in the trees off the military apron. And of course the Ghost Tower...Have you seen that yet? It will appear in the right circumstances where that gravestone is on the beach

Well, I don't see the beach hut, but I do have the Hermit's shack:


Unfortunately, assuming things have to be done 'by the book' to get the ghost tower to appear, I doubt I'll be seeing it ;-)
although I assume it is somewhere around here:

Yes that is the gravestone below you Jim...I note that it is not textured (I will look into that).

Download this file:-

Ignore the recorder.dll and .ini file as you have later versions...just place the .frc file as instructed in the ReadMe. Then make sure FS9 is NOT running before you work through the 12 points of instructions...The first of which is "Start FS9"...it is essential that you DO NOT already have FS9 running and therefore start at instruction 2.

Work through the 12 points EXACTLY as written...you will enjoy the result and get to see how a precision hover is done

Very impressive :o

I knew you would enjoy that Jim...Don't forget that you can pop into the VC in that recording and watch the controls move :drinkers:

:o

really??!

Right, here goes!
Always fancied being good at helos

That is one of the joys of a Recorder file...You can use all the FS9 views with the "S" key and you can pan and zoom as much as you like...Far superior to a video and the sharable file is VERY small. There are many other advanced stunts you can do with that Recorder module as well

I've moved on now to seaplane base number two:-


Airborne and heading away from SPB number 1 for an 800 mile flight.


My Seaplane Campsite will be on that ground ahead.


It is a few days later now and all is pretty well complete. The Traffic is functioning well and...

They are at the bottom in my latest reply

Looks like a good place to chill out

What time is the Braai and campfire?

[petermcleland]

What time is the Braai and campfire?

Hmmm...That's a good idea Jonesey...I'll see if I can find some suitable bits to make one.

Meanwhile, I've changed the windsock positions to one at each end of the water runway, mounted on the Dolphin that is on the "Taxy Out" side:-


It is shown on the right of the picture here...The strobe still flashes every 2 seconds at the top of the dolphin.


As I touch down there is a Beaver waiting to go and he has a good view of the windsock at his waiting position.


I'm berthed here on the refuelling dock as another Beaver taxies towards the dolphin winsock.

I have retrofitted these to Seaplane Base One as well...I think I should fit them at PAMF as well.

Thanks for looking :flying:
