Raw Grit: PNG Bushpilot Released

I'm glad you're enjoying the product as I am creating it, Glenn. It's been a labor of love for me and I will continue to expand it as well as creating new ones with the kind of quality you guys deserve.

Happy simming!:wavey:
Graham
 
Graham, That's great news although I do feel I have gotten my money's worth. I am enjoying finding my way around the area and some of the high altitude challenges. Now you have my curiosity up about the next product.

Many Thanks in more ways than one, :ernae:

Glenn

Yes to the above and my thanks too:applause:
 
Graham's work inspired me to go find some charts, which I have calibrated for FSMap and uploaded to AVSIM: http://library.avsim.net/search.php?SearchTerm=papua+charts. The download is in three parts, about 35mb each.

Description:
[FONT=verdana, sans-serif][FONT=verdana, sans-serif]Calibrated for FSMap, but scanned images can be used in other map software, such as FSM Moving Map (FSMMM) by Rana Hossain. Chart source: Topographic Maps U.S. Army Map Service, Series T504, original scale 1:250,000, date 1964-. Courtesy of the University of Texas Libraries, The University of Texas at Austin. Missing: I could not find equivalent charts for New Britain; for this island, a lower-quality chart is included. [/FONT][/FONT]

Fantastic! Thanks for the great maps.
 
I'm really grateful to the developers of this. They're doing a part of the world that has been completely overlooked and yet is some of the most historical and most stunningly gorgeous areas of the world.. Thanks guys. :D gotta wait till next month to buy but jeez i'm gonna love this when i get it :D :D .
 
A couple news items:

1. Terry Carr has created calibration files for using the charts with freeware FSMMM (FSM Moving Map); now in the AVSIM file library, accessible with the link I posted earlier.

2. This morning on Vimeo I noticed a video of mountain flying in PNG that features two of the airfields in this package, FANE and ZEN. See http://www.vimeo.com/3593510.
 
I am enjoying PNG greatly!

What I really want to know is.... You modeled about 1/2 of the airports, when ya gonna do the other half??? :jump:
 
A dozen more completed with new features such as hand-drawn rivers and coastlines. No exact ETA yet though, but checkout pics at www.islandsim.com from hereon untill release date.

Cheers,
Graham
