The Ghost Tower...

[petermcleland]

The Gravestone has surfaced again on the beach...


...and in the right circumstances the Ghost Tower appears over it.

The Flight with the Ghost Tower visible can be saved...but when you load that flight again, the Ghost Tower has vanished

Peter,

The airfield is obviously haunted. I think you should sell up and move on...........................

Well I have been putting up with it for about 8 years and I've got rather fond of it...I was always surprised at how few users in FS9 ever saw my Ghost Tower...Most never ever saw it

Speaking in my own defense . Flying (introvertedly) as fast and as low (as per) all my concentration is focused on not becoming a ghost myself.

The Beach Hut is now restored...


...along with its pontoon and refuelling point...


...for Seaplanes.


Talking of Seaplanes...Here is the Beaver at Longview Ranch...There are a line of quacking ducks swimming under the tail.

They're all great shots, Peter. The airfield is coming along very nicely indeed.

But that last shot is stunning. I'd love to see those little ducks. Be careful when you taxi out! I read that the ranch comes with a fair bit of land and a nice little airstrip up in the hills which is ideal for picnics. Have you found it yet?

Ian the starboard wing is pointing at the threshold markings of the runway, this side of the house. Tomorrow, I will try to take off from this narrow strip of water, which is not very long. Do you mean there is another airstrip?

By the way I noticed a number of brightly coloured butterflies fluttering around and there are country sounds as well as the quacking of those ducks...A female with a line of ducklings trailing behind and a lone male hovering around

Yes 49OR in the mountains, a short flight away according to the sales blurb at the top of the page.

I've just bought a large plot of virtual land up in the San Juan Islands of PNW. Diamond Point, a recreational airstrip by the sea and the scenery covers a large area with a dirt strip plus a water runway a few miles away. The ORBX stuff is very good value for money! I also picked up two free airstrips in Alberta for my Northern Rockies and one of those has moving people but no bugs or ducks, sadly

Oh yes...Diamond Point is another great Georender Scenery and the real life place is a rich man's airport where there are a lot of expensive houses with personal hangars. I loved that scenery in FS9 and built a special Traffic package linking it with Orcas Island, which had many good animations. That is really where I got the idea for Turf Green
