You really should. Its free and the quality is that of Tongass & Misty Fjords and you have to pay for that!
Thanks for that Peter, it all seems to work ok and the Budgies like their new home too

I will have to move my FSCargo point over here, although have the "pickup area"a bit bigger so I can squeeze onto the stand along side. It looks a good place to load up when doing bush flying. I've acquired the Freight Dogs scenery so I've got a few more detailed airports in the area to call into

Jonesey, no need to move your cargo point...just make an extra one and give it a slightly different name like "PAMA small freight"...those three marked parking spaces just short of the area are only used by the Taildraggers Club on Saturdays I think it is...so you can have your pickup area right across them and close to the goods...You will practically never see the Taildraggers and they will be no problem.
BTW...let me know if the "Wigwags" are working for you...They seem to get a bit tired here after a while and the two lights start flashing together instead of one at a time :roll: I would also like to install all the other blue taxiway lights but not the ones with the rods behind them that I've used to show the airport edge...Trouble is that they don't light up for some reason, so I'm working on it.
You should also find some new vehicles around the place
BTW...I've noticed that particular Emerald in my machine has had a new prop fitted on one side and it has not got the black and white marks painted on it like the other prop...I guess the chaps haven't got around to it yet :roll:

I didn't think of that... will do it now
On mine the new Emerald livery has 2 photostrobic props but the large freight door version has a normal one nicked from another aircraft
I often used to see them at Liverpool with odd props and even odd doors!

Ah! OK then that is how mine is so I will leave it
BTW...Have now found a nice working taxiway light and am starting to install them all...a lot of them :shock:

Sounds good
Off topic:
Have you seen the new Eclipse Ultra light concept jet? Check out their website for details. It looks quite nifty, I wouldn't have thought it possible for a jet smaller then an Eclipse 500 or Raytheon Premier

I rather like the mockup of the Cirrus V-tail jet:-

Indeed. Piper are also making one too.
Maybe the future of GA is pressurized jets with 300kt+ cruise speeds...
I want somebody to make one with as much thrust as its MTOW
