I've followed the instructions, including starting AIBridge, though they are all on the same machine. Lots of my AI showing, as usual, but no sign yet of John, who's flying from Channel Islands to Bournemouth. Having let FSC download from IVAO, I do have their ATC zone details diplayed.Gerry Winskill Gerry Winskill wrote:Frank,Good. The stickey ups do make a difference. I recall GC, on the UK Scenery list, being against any form of sticky up, when first VFR GM arrived on the scene(ery).Meanwhile, I'm sitting on the ground at Binstead, looking past the parked aircraft and the trees. In the distance, dead ahead, is an electricity pylon, with the VFR Addons' Abbey on the rise behind it. To the right of the pylon, across the Solent, I can see the stacks and columns of Fawley. To the right of them, even further away, I can see buildings and a chimney, on the skyline.We used to hope it would get like this but I was one of the many who didn't think it could happen. One of the major plusses of FSX is that distant buildings don't just disappear, or go untextured, thus increasing the realism.There's a downside. The 300' masts, in FSX, are about as difficult to see as Bones said they would be, some years ago. There are two, not mine, on the IOW that stand out. That's because they are FS9 and so appear black, which does make them stand out.Gerry Winskill FrankTurley@xxxxxxx wrote:In a message dated 05/08/2007 19:59:35 GMT Daylight Time, gwinsk@xxxxxxx writes:I've just landed at Binstead..... Well, slightly embarassing, I thoughtI had but found I'd mistaken a mown strip in the next field, to the West. Anyway, without disturbing the Abbot too much, I got out againsmartly and did a neighbour annoying circuit, over the Solent, to land on the real rwy18.When you do eventually spot it it's challengingly short, you have toapproach from the right of the centreline, to avoid the trees; oh, andthe hangar and apron are tucked in, behind the trees, on the Eastern side of the threshold.. Having said that, it's extremely satifying.Anyone else made it yet? It's quiet in that area, on IVAO, at the moment. A bit further South and the Jersey controller is having a dig at traffic not contacting him, in a controlled zone. Gerry WinskillHave done Binstead in FS2004, there is what looks like a runway adjacent, it confused me too. Quarr Abbey lies to the north, it looks like MS made an Easter Egg for it. I still have the last batch to do in FSX, I'm going to be planning these as per your notes. I was flying with the Sunday am VFR club earlier, managed to load the FSX ANO first, there was a lot to see from Milford Haven to Cardiff, no problems with the install or the readme.Frank T.-- No virus found in this incoming message.Checked by AVG Free Edition.
