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.

Right. I read it wrong.Not exactly : steady white on glideslope and steady red if slightly low.
