Thanks to some wonderful scenery by Pacific Islands Simulation ('Raw Grit PNG Bushpilot' via SimMarket,) I have been enjoying some bush flying in Papua New Guinea. These flights have a real adventurous feel to them, so I thought I'd share some of them here. I am currently still learning my way around the islands and this first flight was from Tokua (AYTK) to Sule (SULE) in the early hours of the evening. (Pictures from FSX) Getting ready to leave at Tokua.   In flight. Some beautiful scenery to be seen while flying around the Island of New Britain.   Check out that beach in the distance.     |

Graham Michael and team did a wonderful job with this scenery. I plan on dropping him a 'thank you' email. I'm looking forward to his expansion package as well. I just came from his website where he has pictures of the coming expansion package as well as some interesting pictures of his real world flight adventures.  |

I've really been enjoying this scenery and area. Once I know the area a little better I am thinking about starting a local virtual business there using JF's 'Cago Pilot.' Here are some more pictures I've uploaded of my flights in this area. This one from Sule to Bialla. (yeah, I'm working through the included tour flights to get to know the area.) Getting ready to leave. I like the colors of the livery on this plane.  Hey, is that fire a cook-out? Too bad I'm on my way out.     A tractor! Think they'll let me drive it some while the plane cools down? ;D  |

Looks quite adventures!
. . . in an area I've never been too - I'll have to check it out or is it just for FSX?

Just completed the last of the 24 flights.... pretty much just flying from point A to point B. Very nicely done bush scenery and had a great time doing it.
I flew the entire flight in the RealAir Duke.... yeah... not much of a bush plane, however, if the Hobbs meter in the Duke is accurate, I had over 18 hours just going from point A to point B.
I'm looking forward to going back now and really exploring the scenery. What a nice job the developers did with this little package!!
Cheers,

I've only done 8 of the flights yet, but I fully agree with you about the scenery. There's a lot of value in this package. |

There sure is...... looks like I'm going to move my FSPassenger territory from Tahiti to PNG for a while.... or perhaps just start a bush service in that area. (smile) Cheers, |

I've been planning to do the same thing with Cargopilot once I've finished the flights. ;D
