dr.coolgood :	(09 September 2010 - 01:27 PM) Another brilliant example why to use standard formats that any computer can read.
old51crow :	(09 September 2010 - 12:47 PM) Ouch HDL, I wish I could help with that. It seems you kind of stuck in a holding pattern until you locate at a windows 7 capable computer.
brian young :	(09 September 2010 - 12:47 PM) Maybe staff have a 7 comp. available?
HellionDarklord :	(09 September 2010 - 12:41 PM) that's the problem. the DVD is formatted with windows 7 file formats and windows XP computers at the library can't read it.
old51crow :	(09 September 2010 - 12:40 PM) Yes, zipping does a world of good sometimes.
old51crow :	(09 September 2010 - 12:38 PM) You should be able to upload the file with out the computer being to read the file format, as long as it sees it as recognizes it is a file.
brian young :	(09 September 2010 - 12:38 PM) Or just zip up.
HellionDarklord :	(09 September 2010 - 12:37 PM) I'm at the library... won't help me cause I don't have any internet at home for the moment.

All right, this week's fly-in will be in Libreville, Gabon (FOOL), on August 17th, which also happens to be Independence Day in Gabon.

Custom scenery for this, and many other African airports, is available from the XP-Africa site. Enjoy!

Hey Everyone,

It's time to announce the next Fly-in. I know it's a little late but with work this is going to be the new time it's going to be posted. This Sunday, August 24th, we're going to visit Anchorage, Alaska (PANC). I know we've been to Alaska several times, but it's such a great flying state and I couldn't pass up a chance to visit on the day that it became a US Territory

.

Here's the link to the discussion topic

I hope you can make it!

I'm sorry I'm so late this week. It's been busy at work. for this weekend we're going to visit a region that we haven't see in a while. It should be a nice area to explore. Please join us on Sunday in Pago Pago, American Samoa (NSTU)! I hope to see you there

Hi Everyone,

I hope you guys enjoyed last week

. This Sunday is just a random idea I got because we haven't been to this place since June and I figured that we're due. So this weekend we'll all be gathering in Adelaide, Australia (YPAD)! It should be a nice area to explore and it'll allow you to do flights all over Australia and New Zealand. Also, you can check out this scenery pack with some small airfields around Adelaide, located here. And Adelaide is included in the aussie scenery pack as well.

The discussion topic for this Fly-in is located here

I hope everyone enjoys the location

It's been quite a while since our last visit to South America, and since we know you like good scenery there's a perfect place over in southern Argentina, close to the Chilean border. This week's fly-in will be at Comandante Armando Tola International Airport, El Calafate, Argentina (SAWC). Custom scenery for the airport is available in the download manager, and the surrounding areas look great in global scenery, especially the nearby Los Glaciares National Park.

Oh, and make sure to have the "runways follow terrain contours" option turned on in your rendering options for this fly-in. Otherwise, you'll get water climbing uphill at nearby Lake Argentino. Those of you with older X-Plane versions will accordingly need to have the "flatten terrain" option unchecked.

Enjoy!

Hi everyone,

I hope you guys enjoyed the Argentinian Fly-in last weekend. This week we're going to travel far away from South America to the Middle East. So on Sunday, meet us at King Khalid Int'l Airport Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (OERK)! You can find some scenery here and it converts pretty well into x-plane. I hope you enjoy the location. For those of you who enjoy a long haul flight, feel free to try coming in from last week's location

Hi Everyone,

For this weekend we have a good location to honor Columbus Day. It really just gives us an excuse to visit an island that we haven't been to yet. So this weekend we're going to go to, Port au Prince, Haiti (MTPP)! Haiti is on Hispaniola which is where Columbus first landed in 1492. It should be a nice location for a Fly-in, it has some good default scenery so have a great time, I hope you like it

Sorry for the delay, busy week for both Marc and myself, and my net connection was down for a while as well.

Next Sunday's fly-in will be at Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport, Mumbai, India (VABB). Suffice to say it is one of India's most important airports, serving a city of at least 13 million people. Some of you may be more familiar with the city's former name of Bombay, only changed as recently as 1995. Again, no X-Plane native custom scenery seems to exist, but the MSFS scenery pack available at http://www.simviation.com/fs2004scenery79.htm can be converted. (Some cleanup work may be required as is usual with conversions)
