Shalom and greetings all my pals, As all of you know that huge numbers of bush planes, helicopters, and twin propeller planes used PABE Bethel airport to run round trip relief aid flights between the airport and many many tiny or villages with tiny airports to drop off much needed supplies, to pick up wounded citizens affected by the natural disaster called Typhoon Halong, and to evacuate any survivors. That got me thinking. The PABE Bethel airport has good runway distance enough for big jets to fly supplies from PANC or PAFA to PABE and pick up survivors to fly back WITHOUT REFUELING to the two mentioned big cities. BUT BUT BUT the problem is that PABE Bethel airport has extremely limited aviation fuel reserves. The airport gets fresh supply of aviation fuel twice a year BY BOAT always on fall and spring to avoid frozen ice on rivers. The twice a year fuel supply is sufficient for normal flights out of PABE. HOWEVER, because of the Typhoon Halong disaster, there was massive massive stream of bush planes, tri-propeller planes, and helicopters doing relief aid and rescue flights which posed an important question: how to satisfy FUEL HUNGER of sheer volume of bush planes, tri-propeller planes, and helicopters. PABE airport's normal fuel reserves are NOT designed to handle incredible number of flights. HENCE my theory on how PABE airport solved the problem. Bear in mind it is my theory. Presenting emergency fuel supply flight from PAEI Eielson Air Force Base located approximately 26 miles southeast of Fairbanks to PABE Bethel Bethel Airport located three nautical miles southwest of the central business district of Bethel KC-10 heavily loaded with aviation fuel ready for emergency fuel flight Taxiing to runway Airborne on climb to FL360 heading westward Still climbing with nice background view of full moon Still on ascend with amazing background view of sun Now cruising at FL360 Sorry Cannot resist brilliant colors of sun view Looking out of cockpit window where you can get COMBO view of sun and famous 20,000 ft high Mount McKinley mountains Passing the Mt McKinley mountains Descending from FL360 to 10,000 ft Passing through clouds at 7,000 ft during descent from 10,000 ft to 3,000 ft Passing Ptarmigan street of city of Bethel on final approach to runway 18 Don't you hate ultra strong Alaskan winds preventing any plane from making touchdown?? Sigh sigh Gonna reduce throttle power Also the FSX default birds flying in background was worrying me. Do not want bird strike in my plane full of explosive fuel!! Few seconds before touchdown blowing snow dust TOUCHDOWN Don't you love snow blowing behind the plane? Front landing gear making very slow and smooth glide down to runway while blowing snow dust Did I say front wheels STILL making very very very slow and smooth gliding down? Front landing gear finally made runway contact Arriving at cargo apron waiting for fuel trucks to come and pick up fuel to be transferred to the airport's fuel reserves Thank you for viewing. Stay tuned for next flight. Regards, Aharon

Unter Einstellungen müssen die Pfade auch richtig eingestellt werden.

Hallo Helge, ich bin mit Ortho4XP noch nicht allzu lange unterwegs. Allerdings habe ich mich der Einfachheit für die Binary Version entschieden. Die ähnelt aber zumindest in der Handhabung der Script basierten Version.   Wenn es nicht allzusehr in die Tiefe geht, kann ich dir hier bedingt helfen. Zu deiner Frage des Ablageortes: Du mußt in der Startmaske unter Base Folder eintragen, wohin die Kacheln gespeichert werden sollen.

  Du hast dir bestimmt im Vorfeld überlegt, in welcher Region du Kacheln haben möchtest.  Denn 300GB Speicherplatz sind für Ortho4XP nicht viel. Ich habe D/A/CH und Nord Italien als Kachel erzeugt. In Summe sind das 97 Kacheln. 

It is working fine in XPlane and FS2024, but not recognized in FS2020. Cannot assign it or anything in FS2020 or change any settings, none of the switches and axis show up in settings.

fast and reliable as always, thank you so much

Hallo zusammen,   ich habe mir Ortho4XP 1.40.11 installiert und es läuft. Aber es meldet, dass Verzeichnisse nicht vorhanden sind. Ich habe heute mal 3 Kacheln (heißt es so?) im Zoom Level 17 erzeugt. Es ist gelaufen, aber er hat eben Verzeichnisse als fehlend gemeldet und mir für jede Kachel ein Verzeichnis in X-Plane 12 angelegt, jedes ca. 10 GB groß. Aber da will ich sie nicht haben.  Am Wochenende hab ich extra Platz geschaffen und auf einer nvme-"Platte" 300 GB Platz geschaffen. Wie kann ich Ortho4XP überzeugen, die Daten dort abzulegen? Und was muss ich noch wo einstellen? Ein deutsches Tutorial für 1.30 auf Windows hab ich gefunden, aber der Vortragende war so schnell und hat die Maus so bewegt, das ich sie nicht einmal gesehen habe.   Danke für Antworten.     Viele Grüße   Helge

Copy the whole page content from https://notams.aim.faa.gov/nat.html   Paste that in the PFPX manual track entry for NAT.   Save the data as a text file for future use if really required, the entry is however retained in PFPX until removed/overwritten.   For the save function to work using the above link requires the tab formatting to be changed.

Hi, i´m struggling to get manual track updates into PFPX, I copied the whole track message provided by simbrief into the scratchpad of the Tracks Tab. Unfortunately Save option is greyed out as well as TRK on the World Map. Can someone help me, or rather, show me the correct way to insert tracks? Thanks a lot for your help Thomas

Is you computer not recognizing it or is MSFS not recognizing it ? What do you mean exactly ?

Good day all, I just plugged in my Sierra TPM for the first time and my computer is not recognizing it (Win11) with FS2020. Tried different ports, but it works fine in XP12. Any thoughts?
