Raw Grit: PNG Bushpilot Released

Very, very cool, and I confess, personal. Because, once upon a time, I was actually IRL in one of those Twin Otters, holding my breath and white-knuckling the seat as our pilot flew onto a dirt strip that began on the edge of, I kid you not, a cliff on an island in the Bismarks. Unforgettable.

I might have to get this if only to attempt a re-enactment.

You'll love this then. If you do decide to purchase you'll find yourself loading up on of the slanted cliff runways (try FANE), taking off, turning around, landing, turning around, taking off, turning around, landing...sheesh, I'm making myself dizzy!

It's pure gold...but pick your ride carefully or you'll end up like this little guy: :engel016:
 
I was looking at this earlier, love the idea and scope of this project. Would love to see a map with all the airstrips located on it.

Welcome to SOH Wantok!! :ernae:
 
Not fair...Its like dangeling candy in front of a baby.....:hand:


I wonder how all that scenery will do on the average rig?

Harleyman, scenery was built on a low-end system as reported in the Support page of the site. So frame hits are no problems.

Kudos and a malt-derived beverage for anyone who makes it through the entire missionary freight run on full realism and with crashes on the first time around!
 
Well, I made it into Gasmata! Gota love prop reverse! Great scenery!
