Here be Ice Maidens!

Post by Airspeed »

A few months back, one of our members said that if anyone wanted to do a really easy airport, then they could model an icy location, which I don't remember the name of.

On the OzX site, Wilkins YWKS in Antarctica, is available.
Yep, the scenery's pretty sparse. The weather looks weird.
The brakes won't stop you, and steering can be done by differential throttle, but rudder on the ground has almost no effect.
You don't need ORBX Australia to instal, but I couldn't make it work by following the instructions. I Created a Wilkins folder in Add on scenery, then a Scenery folder in that. The 2 bgls went into that folder, then I did the usual Add area. Did a take off in a Lockheed P3 Orion. Finding the landing strip again was quite challenging, had to resort to GPS! :$

Sorry to hear that you gents in the UK are having such atrocious weather. The World's going/gone crazy. Landslide in Cornwall(?) killed a lady, heavy snow closed schools, folks can't get to work.
And down here, we've had damaging winds ripping up trees and buildings. They have also been using the term "tornado" for what hit Eastern Victoria. Caravans and holiday huts were torn to pieces and carried some distance. In the past, the Weather Bureau has said that we don't have them here. Like I said...crazy.
Cheers, Mike.

Its been pretty bad Mike... unless you live in Gods country, Tyne & Wear has been a bit cold and blowy, but dry as a bone the past few days. I think Newcastle should be the new capital of England :lol:
