Backcountry Flying

[Cees Donker]

Hi guys,
I’ve been reading and studying and viewing a lot lately (since I'm pensioned and we're all mostly at home due to COVID) and returned to mud moving again. But this time I’m focusing on Backcountry Flying. I can’t thank Ed Wells enough for his excellent tutorial about scenery building. He's been a great inspiration to undertake this.
I’ve set a goal to do these strips:
Bernard U54
Flying B Ranch 12ID
Lower Loon Creek ID67
Upper Loon Creek U72
Thomas Creek 2U8
Stibnite ID41
I'll post screenies in this thread about the progress.

I share your enthusiasm for the back-country strips, but I don't have any experience in scenery creation. The elevation issues that Ed has mentioned were unfortunately a problem for me, apparently because I still use the stock FSX ground textures. Only his "Big Creek" worked without problems. Let us know how you deal with those issues.

Great news Cees. Looking forward to your flights and photos.

Good news Ed. Waiting with anticipation as always.

I think the most elaborate strip will be Stibnite. Adjacent to the airfield are some buildings and structures that are only visble from above so I’ll have to guess what these are and what they look like. ]
I felt that the standard filler objects didn’t cut it for me so I made some custom objects.
And I also had to conjecture what the structures look like! (WIP!)

Awesome Cees! I decided to do one more (Moose Creek_1U1).

"""Will these sceneries work in P3D 4.5 and/or 5.1?"""

I tried them in P3D 4.5 - sceneries work but you have to delete/deactivate the corresponding files in Orbx CRM, if you got them.

Only for customers that want a meal or want to stay in a cabin! Very much WIP!
