There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.

I got an email that PC Aviator is having a Memorial Day sale this weekend, as I imagine many others are.
Also somebody pointed out that Flight 1 is running a 30% off sale on the Islander in that thread...
Just stopped by again. I think the reason Aerosoft didn't put a VASI on Rwy 22 is because there isn't one. There is what is known as a PVASI or Pulsating Visual Approach Slope Indicator. It is set for a 3-degree glideslope and the single light rapidly flashes white if high, slow white flash if on glideslope, slow red flash if slightly low and rapid red flash if too low. I don't think there is one in FS, at least I haven't encountered one. But some sort of VASi there would have been nice. Otherwise it's a great free addition.Yes, the Aerosoft Catalina scenery is "demo" product for Aerosoft's larger "U.S. Cities X - Los Angeles" scenery but it's a complete package for the island. I think the marketing approach was to give you a taste of their L.A. package using Catalina as the example. Having done about 75 trips over to the "Airport in the Sky" when I was flying the LA basin during the 1970s and 1980s, I find KAVX and the scenery around the entire island to be a faithful reproduction.
I would note, however, that the Aerosoft add-on has no VASI on RWY22 (unlike the real deal) and the approach path to this particular airport really benefits from having an approach aid to rely on. I am not a power user of the Scruffy Duck ADE utility, so I never had any luck adding the VASI. Nevertheless, even without the VASI it's great scenery (even if Wrigley's DC-3 isn't parked in the hanger).

I stand corrected. There is one at the default Catalina in P3Dv4. Not sure about FSX though.

There is one at default Catalina and I saw another at Houston West airport (KIWS).I am not aware of a PVASI in FSX, I think such a thing would require custom coding.
It is set for a 3-degree glideslope and the single light rapidly flashes white if high, slow white flash if on glideslope, slow red flash if slightly low and rapid red flash if too low.
Right. I read it wrong.Not exactly : steady white on glideslope and steady red if slightly low.
