Orbx Releases FTX: NA KCMW Cushman Meadows

[OleBoy]

Once I'm able to afford this I'll pick it up. Considering the temporary demise of Emma Field. . .this is by far the best choice to begin holding Fly-In's and other such get-togethers.:salute:

I've got ORBX PNW, and am seriously considering getting others. If things would have worked out prior to Xmas, I would have had the whole works already. Unfortunately it didn't work out.

This talk of a fly-in sounds like fun. I recall many from back in my r/c days!

I tried my best Oleboy, if you want to talk special deal this time around maybe just shoot Adrian an email at info (at) flightsimstore.com ?

ok, so I can buy groceries next month. . . .I've got chips and dip to live on til then, lol. I had to have this and will install when I get home at lunch. Hooray!!:salute:

 

[Felixthreeone]

Rest assured, Falcon..it is worth the sacrifice! Great scenery!

I stirred in the open forum, again. It won't happen another. (period)

My apology

 

[falcon409]

Oh yea, I love this place!! :salute:

 

[OleBoy]

I bet there are a few post cards derived from images like #4 and #5. The countryside in this area is majestic. If the trees were just left alone

Yep, it is a majestic area of the country and Bill has really made it our own personal vacation spot.

I noticed that "Snapper" doesn't recognize it though as you can tell from the imprint on the screenshots. Hmmm.

I'm not sure of your meaning? And a note; I just realized I could right-click the images uploaded to SOH and choose "view-image", and they get bigger like any other. I learnt something new today. DOH!!

 

[JayKae]

Some awesome screenshots in here

@oleboy, no apology necessary mate, I did not see it as stirring, I just wanted to react to see if we can help you out this time, nothing more and nothing less, I always see the glass as half full

 

[falcon409]

I'm not sure of your meaning?. . . . .

Snapper will autoprint your location (airport, or closest airport) in the lower right of the screenshot. It doesn't recognize Cushman Meadows as an airport though, instead, it gives the proximity to the closest airport it does recognize. . . .in this case "Sanderson".:salute:

It could be a problem that KCMW isn't in the stock FSX database (for obvious reasons ). Do you know if there's a way to rebuild Snapper's internal database, or does it get its airport data some other way?

 

[jdhaenens]

You should be able to make an airport stub for KCMW without defining a runway. Even if a runway becomes necessary, put it in the forest/hills around the field (one foot by one foot).

Better yet, make it a water runway at the lake's edge. That way it will be in the database and not disturb any of the elevations of the airport.

Oh make no mistake, there's a full AFCAD for KCMW, and WA40 (the water runway), too. I just thought maybe they weren't being indexed by Snapper somehow.

 

[Astoroth]

Snapper has it's own internal airport database. Iit doesn't get the airport info from the sim, just the longitude and latitude, which it then compares to it's database to pull the closest airport from....

 

[Astoroth]

I'd rather be flying, but that will have to wait until I get this tractor fixed....

Absolutely fantastic job you did with this package, Bill, Thanks!

That explains it, then.

Hey Boxcar... long time no hear!

Beautiful scenery as always with Orbx... must have!

Thanks, TuFun. Been out most of the time on family matters for much of the last year+.


Got a question, peeps: After pre-paying for Cushman on March 11 @ FlightSimStore, have yet to receive the software on CD. Did my pre-pay only include a download? (Yes, have already filed a "ticket" with FSS but have yet to hear back) For years I've never knowingly ordered any flightsim software without the CD/DVD. My understanding when ordering in advance was that the price paid included the title on disc too, though as a brain-injured vet things get confused sometimes... the written word can be excruciatingly difficult to absorb. For any knowing the answer to this & taking the time to respond, thanks in advance. Am so looking forward to having the time to finally "fly" in & out of this outstanding addon.

Boxcar,You can check your order at FSS,If it says "Direct Download" then I believe that's what was pre-ordered.Usually the DVD comes out a few months later.
