Andy - is that 26th AussieLand? Or are we looking at 1200 Saturday 25th for California?

Since 1900z would be 1200 PDT I would think he means 1900 z May 26 / 1200 PDT May 26. The 1900 z flights have been on Sunday for North America last couple of weeks also.

Sounds like a fun flight between rallies. I'll try to be there!

Hello Guys,
I will try to be at MPEJ in time , with a float plan.
Any idea where to find a Panama country scenery to improve the FS2K2 standard one?

Hello guys
Thanks for the flight. I did not see many ships , may be there was a day off.
I did understand you all have installed and use FSNav.
Do you recommend it?
Regards

Greetings Emile:

> Thanks for the flight.

Glad to be able to fly with you. Panama is an interesting place to fly around. We'll have to revisit it again.


> I did not see many ships, may be there was a day off.

The reason why you didn't see many may have to do with your scenery density setting. What's counted as scenery varies from scenery module to scenery module (.bgl file), but objects such as aircraft and ships are usually the first to "go" when the scenery as scenery density settings are reduced.

Hope this helps and hope to see you in air again soon!

Ben

All you guys ..please accept my apologies for not hosting the Pamama Flight (as I was supposed to do) but, simply overslept and thx to Robert for standing in.
I agree with James Emile,.. FS Nav is an interesting and challenging program..I have had great fun sorting it out and using it, especially on a second monitor.. well worth it.
Regards all,
Andy
