Thanks Henry for the prompt service . You have a lot of middle aged men here who are short on patience . Me being high on the list . LOL I wasn't trying to be critical of the upload speed but I must admit I am a little hesitant on the download library as IMO it's not very user friendly as others have mentioned .

These are a lot of fun and add a period feel to the older aircraft that we often favor.

Just an idea of the surprising detail, a small seaplane base in the Russels, a bit to the west of Guadalcanal.

Geez, Rich, you don't land a PBY at Rekata Seaplane base, you are going to have a rug dance with the CO for that!!

There's even more on the Russels, have you seen the Pavuvu Cub Strip for the L4 Grasshoppers (demanding to land!) or the big 1st marine division camp there?

Wifes will hate me.

Cheers,

Man, this looks great! Just downloaded. Next, install. Then, dawn patrol over The Slot...

I spotted that there is something wrong in the pictures here.
The beaches are missing. Could someone please copy the beach texture that is included in the package into the

\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Scenery\World\Texture\

folder and have a look at the beaches? Strange!

The beaches should look like the one on the picture below.

Ok, wait. Why are those guys from the crash and salvage department standing around looking at me waiting to take off? They're making me nervous!

This is a great package!

I can't find a beach texture... What's the exact filename? Maybe it didn't make into the release..?

**roger-wilco-66** · August 13th, 2010, 17:12

PRB,

its in the folder "alternative coastline" in the package and the texture is named

o_whitesand_ls.bmp

It should be a default FSX texture. I checked some images sent to me by beta testers during the beta phase, and there the coastline definitly showed up.

I'm still flabbergasted about that and can not reproduce it in my installation. It could be that some add-on sceneries that I do not have make adjustments to the FSX terrain.cfg, but that is only an assumption as of now.

The guys from the crash department expect you to torque roll and wreck your Wildcat on liftoff to have something to do (they are bored)!

Cheers,
Mark

Great job on this scenery. It makes flying around this area so much more interesting and fun!

Thanks!

I can't tell you what a huge relief the release of this project is for me, and I hope there are not too many errors in the scenery.

The best is - I get to fly again. Most of my time spent in FSX the last four months was slewing around and constantly reload the scenery database after updates. For example, I bought the A2A B17 when it was released, but the first time I flew this fine bird was today!

The best experience in developing this scenery was reading a lot of books and learning the history of this scenario while developing it, this was a great source of inspiration.

Another great experience was the willingness to help and the enthusiasm of many fine people here in the SOH community - cheers to you all! This really gives me the kick to plan new projects and work on my skills to achieve better results in the future.
