Here's one designed with Luis in mind. Under a bridge. Enjoy. I hope the problems we've had with the caches the last few days are fixed. Nothing to do but try.

Loki, the Steam Flight community manager, has posed a very interesting news : he proposes the community to submit new aerocahes for the game. The post : https://news.microso...-cache-too.aspx Here is the important part of the information : "In order to create an Aerocache we will need the following information: Name of Aerocache Search hint (to let you use in game bing search) Hint (“On the East coast of X” ect) Real world Latitude (DMS/decimal) Real world Longitude (DMS/decimal) Altitude (meters/feet ok, please call out which you are using) Difficulty; Very Easy, Easy, Medium, Hard, Very Hard Experience point value Screenshot of place you want the …

High altitude caldera. The name gives it away. Don't forget to use your mixture control. Enjoy.

"Microsoft Flight has detected a corrupt installation and will close now". This has been happening to me more and more now. I think in the near future I will not be able to clear it out. The only thing that I've done prior to this happening, was purchase and download the Maul. The only other person on here that has brought this up is 188AHC and I am wondering if anyone else is experiencing this, and if so, how to fix it? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Finally went back and picked this one up. It was the only waterfall that I could not collect before. Easy with the Cub, got it first try.

There have been a couple of posts about the link in this thread issuing an unsafe warning. I don't know if the link has been compromised or what at this point. The thread has been active since July and this is the first that has been reported. I'm not going to say if the link is bad or not since I haven't opened it. If the OP could look into this, it would be appreciated. Until then, open the link at your own risk. The thread has been locked. If you have any comments on it, please place them here. If it turns out the link is bad, I'll delete the link from the thread. I don't want to delete the entire thread as there is some good info posted by other members. …

I think that I can safely say that I am the only person in the entire world who has flown to Seattle in Flight. Not that this is much of a distinction, or that there is anything worth bragging about. :rolleyes: I started the flight at Annette Island, the southernmost point in the Wilderness Alaska scenery pack - no point starting such a flight in Barrow! :lol: Of course, I used the Cub, because that is the only airplane that I fly anymore. But, this did not last for long... My plan was to fly in short stages (I only have time for about 20 minutes of flying a day) and land at any strip that I could find. At first, this turned out pretty well. Prince Rupert Airpor…

Look for the small light marker on the NE shore of the big island. I don't remember this one but it should be good for some sightseeing.

Flew at 10,000 feet directly toward the destination marker. About 26 miles out of Adak just under 9,000 ft the co-pilot says something to the affect of."Aircraft ahead, take evasive action". Before I could make a move he says. " Guess we were lucky, he did not see us, you really skated by this time". I never say anything! This is the first time I ever even came close to being intercepted. Maintain present course and enter a normal traffic pattern when ready. I used the Carbon Cub for this flight. Very hard to keep on course even with no wind. Once I got the wing tanks balanced out it was better but I still had to keed an eye on it or it would slowly drift off to one s…
