DAVIDSTRAKA Posted August 12, 2019 Author Share Posted August 12, 2019 Thanks everyone for all the input and comments! This is awesome. I'm not sure how much detail I will get too but my original idea was to get more "out of the way" Americana so to speak. It will be interesting how it plays out. :cool: Senior Rookie Bragware: FSX Gold - Acceleration | HP Omen Obelisk Desktop | Intel Core i7 3.2 Ghz |16GB | NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 | 1TB HD | 256 GB SSD (Gaming Computer) REX Worldwide Airports HD AS16 + ASCA ORBX Global BASE ORBX Freeware Airports ORBX HD Trees [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downwind66 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 (edited) David - Here are a couple pics of my Road Atlas I was telling you about. One is East Coast, the other West Coast. Hope they come out okay. I will know as soon as I hit the Post button. Enjoy! - Rick All the cities I have flown into, are indicated in pink! This is one way of utilizing an "out of date" Road Atlas instead of the trash can! East Coast pic, the cities in pink have faded out. I have this on my floor (facing up) next to my computer chair and I guess the sun has faded out the cities. I can still faintly see them, but the pic doesn't show well.

Kirk Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 This is a great idea, David! I'm doing something similar... going to each of the four corners of the continental US, starting and ending south of San Diego. I was going to do it all in a C172, but, in the Great Lakes area now, I've moved up to a 182 to get along just a little faster. :D I'm really looking forward to following your progress!

CRJ_simpilot Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 David - Here are a couple pics of my Road Atlas What's a road atlas? What's a phone book? What's a phone booth? How do I make a call on a rotary phone? :D OOM errors? Read this. What the squawk? An awesome weather website with oodles of Info. and options. Wile E. Coyote would be impressed.

Kirk Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Wow! You’re in my neck of the woods now. When did you start? I started in October of last year. But I took several months off not too long ago. I'm currently at KTWM in Two Harbors, Minnesota. Prepar3d v4: HP Omen Desktop.

I'm currently at KTWM in Two Harbors, Minnesota. I can understand that! Finding time after work is my issue. House chores and Mom activities take away my flight sim time. Gotta do it though or things will fall apart! Will you be making a Michigan stop?
