Denman. Thereare some Easter eggs too. Cortez Bay, another Kenmore Air stop will beincluded in a service pack. YRC is now being tested and will be released (you have heard thisbefore) when it¡¯s ready. /images/notams/notams18/orbx0201/yrc3.jpgI should mention that Orbx YRC Refuge Cove Seaplane Base willreplace a quite old and not that good version of Refuge Cove that hadbeen posted on my blog. It's been removed, and if you happen to haveit you must remove it too because it¡¯s not compatible. Of course what you really want to see are the screenshots so herethey are; some of Refuge Cove, Squirrel Cove, Mink Island and two fromForbes Bay in that order.
