I really love what you have done for Michigan Flight Simulating! My
laptop still runs FS98 and I run your older Michigan airport files
(still available on www.FlightSim.com, bonaav35.zip is my brother in
law's 1969 V35A)there. Of course, I have your newer stuff.
FLYING M
I have been too busy to e-mail you, but last July I visited 3L7
Flying M airport in Lincoln MI. It's a 2200 ft grass strip. I took a lot
of photos so you (or somebody else) could model it for Flight Simming. I
also walked the entire runway centerline with my GPS on for the most
accurate location. There is only 2 or three buildings, trees, and a
powerline with orange balls. The airport owner thought it was pretty
cool that I wanted to have 3L7 modeled.
The default MS scenery for Flying M is mostly the "duct tape on a
ping pong table" that we had back in FS5.0.
Cheers,
Bruce Freeburger
