I have watched a lot of his flights in the past and actually produced a few sceneries for some of his destinations. Mariama is not in FSX though, what are you using for that airstrip? I am currently doing a small scenery for that location though...... ya gotta luv it.
Trying to replicate the flight shown below, from Mariama to Wewak. but in a basic Cessna 152. Sweaty hands.
Same here Richard. I don't have the Kodiak installed currently so I have a nice BN-2 Islander that I've tested on this short airstrip and it gets in and out nicely.
I'll have the scenery done in a few days. I can send it to you via a download link by PM here.So I found out!
As an alternative I flew from Wewak to roughly the correct position of Mariama. Then tried to come down through he clouds to find a spot to land. I find FSX coverage of that area is very generic, so kinda dilutes the experience.
It is possible to add custom textures in ADEx. A little involved but I have added broken concrete; natural grass; green concrete; etc. for airports that had these textures. You can also add transparent and use the photoreal by labeling it "unknown" this is what I used in the past. John said he was going to add a "transparent" texture for runways, taxiways etc. but couldn't make it work to his satisfaction and now I guess with his retirement we've got what we've got which is great IMO.
Yea that's what I decided on. It isn't a photoreal ground texture, just a regular airport background with vegetation and some grass thrown in to mask some of the hard edges you get with those types of background. All in all for a quick 2 day turn around it came out pretty well. Nice thing about most of the PNG remote airstrips is once you place the runway there's little else you need to do as they are nothing more than a strip that a plane can land on and the villagers come out with vehicles to pick up supplies and then leave, (not all but some) lol.
