That’s why we pay you the big bucks.
Great! Should be fun. ![]()
Awesome.
According to https://www.antipodr.com there’s not too much in it whether I go east or west.
Right…a sight change in the admin for that. Cheques are now to be made out to “The Hangar200 Sailboat Fund”
Those wishing to set up a monthly deposit, I can PM you with the PayPal info.
Of course it is all Tax Deductible!

Excellent! Two airports instead of one and we get to type Pago Pago for the next 3 months. I like it.
I swear Beach you are like a pet owner waving your hand over here while the chew toy is behind your back the whole time…
Hmmm… Need to check this one against the range I’m showing for the PBY… May have to get creative… Still, looks like it’s going to be fun!
(now, to start thinking of ways to incorporate both rugby and scuba diving into my story…)

Guys, you better pick up the pace! The Bell is currently parked in Thompson, Manitoba (CYTH). I’ve been at it real time, current time and actual weather. I am about 14 hours into the trip with roughly 90 percent to go. (Did someone say “range”). I am not crazy, I takeoff as soon as I get out of bed, put her on autopilot, set a timer, make and drink coffee, go run, watch the news and go back to a windowed x-Plane when the timer dings.
It’s pronounced “Pain-go, pain-go”, right?
Excellent choice, oh fearless leader!
This airport is a couple islands to the east of Pago Pago - included in the ORBX scenery - looks like just your speed length!
Sigh… Another tile to add to the OrthoXP download…
Time for a new hard drive…
Sowwy… ![]()
You can pay me back in beer next time I’m in Charlotte. And I’m bringing the dog, and daring you and Marissa not to fall in love with him and want one of your own. ![]()
All right, Pago Pago it is! Time to create the official thread and let the AARs flood the forum gates ![]()
Sadly I’m being shipped overseas for work until early November so I may be a little late to the party… I had so much fun last year, I hope I can do it again.
P.S. Santa’s got some BIG payload this year.
Spoiler alert: my wallet has been PMDG’d.
Well we need to have at least one 747 on this trip seeing as she just turned 50. ![]()
The ol’ lady! Proper outfit too now she’s moving into the cargo world!
So, ah, I’ve got the scenery pack and all the associated libraries installed, along with some of the meshes that @fearlessfrog had given instructions for installing a while back, and it’s not loading.
Help?
Could you be more specific? What scenery packs? What simulator? What instructions from Fearless Frog?
Bit hard to help if we know nothing ![]()
If I had to guess, it probably has something to do with the scenery.ini file and the loading order of the stuff. Pretty much any time I load a scenery package, I reorganize the scenery.ini file using this awesome little tool. It is “auto-magic” in that all you do is run it, then close it, and it writes a new ini file with the proper ordering of the ini file based on whether you have added custom airports, meshes, or orthos…
I highly recommend it - but I would definitely, definitely back up your current ini file in case it doesn’t work well for you.
An official announcement and AAR thread will be going up today guys. Look for it later this afternoon!
