• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    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.

Where's The Fire?

With all the nice fire-fighting aircraft available, I've been looking around for some forest fire scenery so I can put some of these birds to work. Haven't found anything. Anyone have any suggestions? Mark
 
Even better: LORBY-SI - FIREFIGHTER X FSX P3D

FireFighter X is a completely stand-alone addon for “Microsoft Flight Simulator X ®” and “Lockheed Martin Prepar3d V2/V3®”, running alongside your sim. It generates fires dynamically and enables you to put them out. Just start your flight at the airport of your choice, using any aircraft in your hangar. Adjust the retardant amount in FFX to suit your aircraft (mind the weight!), choose water or red chemicals as agent and you are good to go!

Fires will start small. But with a bit of wind, they will grow and spread, so don't take too long finishing your coffee. Fly over the fires, calculate your speed and the ideal drop approach, position and altitude - hit the trigger - watch the fires turn to ash and steam (provided you hit them). Or drop large amounts of the red retardant as barriers, box the fire in and just let it burn itself out. Running out of water? Scoop water from nearby water bodies. This is possible with every aircraft too - but only advisable with flying boats.
