Dune Film Update

[Daube]

Is there any way to fly in the DUNE scenario without being on a mission?

On the avsim forums, I think I have seen somebody mentioning the GPS coordinates of the Dune scenery, which is somewhere in the middle of Africa ? I haven't checked if it's correct or not.

This is going into a meme generator later today!

As for control settings. Does anyone know if it affects saved profiles, or just the default settings?

Default only what i have discovered

The rocks are there but not the sand I think.

Penty of dune fields in Namibia for free flying.

Another question. How does the pilot fit?

I just went for the middle of the Sahara

More stuff I don't want. Why no Masters of the Air update?

It's Microsoft and they don't do guns. So a B-17 with thirteen searchlights poking out of it would look stupid.

The pilot looks too small for the scale of the aircraft.

From the movie, I think its ok:

Thank you. I could not find a scene in the film that showed a pilot very well.

There's now an add-on that adds a runway (ICAO "DUNE") near the hidden scenery in Sudan, if you want to do some free-flying in the Dune scenery. (Doesn't have the sand effects, though.)

Oh! Cool, thanks for the pointer.



Trapped as one is inside the Insect Sim, you may as well do all the Challenges, eh?
I thought I'd really cracked it with my best of 2 and a half minutes, then I saw the scoreboard Top Ten at under a minute.
Is this meant to enslave you I wonder

Its quite straight forward to add Dune sand effects. All it needs is to save a flight in the Dune area (actually you can add sand anywhere in the world! See the linked video), a quick edit of the FLT file to add a config line of text, save then load that FLT file. Sand as far as the eye can see!

The linked video shows an english summary of the instructions in the description (video is in Italian). It also lists the coordinates of all of the Dune missions/scanarios/tutorials.

That can be said for a lot of pilots over they years in these sims.
