olderndirt got a reaction from Dominic Smith in Scenery Review: Grand Arctic Scenery XP12 by HSimulators
Following up. I contacted Marco at HSimulations and he very kindly sent me a download which included the install .exe. This solved my problem but it was not what I downloaded from Xplane.org.

olderndirt got a reaction from Sean McLeod in Impression Review : PAEN - Kenai Municipal Airport, Alaska by NorthernSkyStudio
Familiar ground. In January of 1974 I made the opening announcement "Kenai tower is now in operation". At the time I was on loan from Merrill tower in Anchorage and the new chief had been a supervisor at Merrill. It wasn't blue then and the airport was a lot less than it appears now.
Here's me, spring of '74, in front of the new tower with my little Clipper.

Keep their fingers to the fire - bought this and found it not bad. The cockpit looks a bit off - the panel just doesn't look real but then so few of them really do.

Back in the day, I flew a '235' before it become a 'Charger' and 80/87 was still available. Best of the Cherokees.

August first and not a shred of evidence they still exist.

I received an email for the flash sale(s) and took advantage - see they've become partners in the MSFS group which could be the end of their XP endeavors.

Ten bucks more than XPlane itself - believe I'll just struggle along.

Another fair review. Spent several minutes in the right pilot position fighting the collective then it dawned -left side is where the action is, why have right side controls if they don't do anything important? I agree it could stand a bit more refinement but for $25 it's not a bad deal.

While I'm sure it's top quality based on owning their Mark IX but talk about diminshed expectations when they revealed this one. They were already in my warbirds niche and I expected something with 12 or 18 cylinders as their next offering. The still forthcoming F117 doesn't do much either - I think they're misdirected but hopefully will recover.

I once had a Cessna 140 that, in the Alaskan winter, you primed 'til gas ran on the snow (carb prime rather than cylinder) then hurried around a carefully marked trail to shake hands with the prop. When the engine fired you hurried back along your carefully marked trail, continued pumping the primer 'til it ran smoothly. This was a difficult start.

Why can't you set the idle RPM with REP, at the carb like in RL? Just kidding .
