I am also just about ready to fly the canyon.    It took a while to settle on the right scenery to use.  I am using the OZx Grand Canyon Photoreal and KGCN scenery (Version 2) for FSX Acceleration.  I also found an add-on to the OZx scenery here in the file library that should make the flight more interesting.  Some notes from the readme file: The extra Grand Canyon scenery "adds hikers in the nooks and crannies as well as situations where a hiker has "fallen and can't get up".  You'll also see legal and illegal campers, kayakers and swimmers and couple of kayakers that may need assistance.  If your not flying low and slow, (this means helicopters) you won't be able to see them."   This should make for a fun and Challenging flight.   Here we are in the Canadian AW Merlin at Page Municipal ready to start flying tomorrow.  We got a call late this afternoon that they need an additional Search and Rescue (SAR) helicopter to fly along the river and help search in the morning.     

Many thanks!

Congrats Bosss, 'et ardua ad astra'!

Thanks for it! Would you please say briefly how do you convert FSX/P3D scenery for FS9...   Thank you!

Ashgabat is a Conversion of the ARMI PROJECT Payware which you find on Simmarket for FSX / P3D and higher.  ASHGABAT INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT P3D4 For Bahrain I am using the Payware by MFSG which you find on Simmarket as well...  BAHRAIN INTL OBBI FS9 FSX P3D3-5

Spotted Series:  United, Boeing B767-322(ER), N676UA in Nice, Côte d'azur, France. 

Usually judging by the file size. Some examples, by texture size in pixels:   1024x, 32 bit: 4.00 MB (unmipped), 5.33 MB (mipped) 1024x, DXT3: 1 MB unmipped, 1.33 MB mipped 512x, DXT3: 256KB unmipped, 341KB mipped 256x, DXT3: 64KB unmipped, 86KB mipped   There are other ways to find out, but every other way requires additional software.   For reducing shimmer, you want them to be mipped.

Hey @Airbasil_1! Would you please say which scenery are you using for Ashgabat & Bahrain Intl. Thank you!   Regards  Rupayan 

I'm not familiar with Ublock but I'm open to anything that will keep Google at a distance.

SUCCESS! I've got the FSUIPC codes and it all works, magic stuff. 🙂   As is the usual way I doubt I'll have enough time to do Leg 01 today as I have to pack up to head home tomorrow, but I should get it done in the next few days anyway.

Well, my favorite pasttime cannot be discussed here.  But I've been enjoying various versions of FS, and this site, since 1998.

Yup... Flight simming!!!

Yes, I found it and it's all fixed.  I thought it was #3 but had not encountered this except on the Overland models which I often use and just reloaded.  Changing that one field to 0.001 is all it took and now all works fine.  Many thanks.
