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.

Special Server Maintenance
Just when you think you have everything running some what better...
You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.
- November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
- November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
- November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
- November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.
If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.
To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.
Thank you for your support.

Another question. How does the pilot fit?

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

Now that cracked me up!!

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.
