Good video, that! But if it's not Mach Loop that's the big surprise - then what else? The Menai bridge? The Newport Transporter bridge? Abertillery sheep auction? Cardiff Central station?

:dunno:

All you need for a Mach Loop are two hills and a valley in the middle. One would like to think they can afford a terrain mesh for Wales *-)

I think all of your suggestions are great though. It'd be worth paying to get em :lol:

Maybe a short strip just west of the Menai Bridge, where you are actually parked up and tied down before you can finish saying "On final Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch" ? :wasntme:

iechyd da :cheers:

No they're not! And you're right - Mach Loop would be easy to recreate and 'the cost of licensed data' is meaningless. So my point is that there isn't anything else in Wales of interest to flight simmers so it MUST be the Loop and they're making up bullshit to put us off the scent! Ha - too clever for them aren't we? I'll bet it is Machynlleth.

Better do a helicopter in Prince William's colours ready for Valley :lol:

Oh - and Mike. Shut up. Don't give them silly ideas :lol:

Ian :)

I used to have this in FS9 but it seems the possible chances of our capitol being flooded in FSX doesn't exist and it's gone 8)

I wonder if the 'special' isn't Llangefni market on a Thrusday. Be prepared cause it always rains on Thursday in Anglesey :lol: Nip back sharpish to the Ben Lech Hotel for a quick snorter than back to the caravan and who cares :lol: BTW.. the landlord comes to Aldridge in the WM to have his Aston Martin serviced ;)

The F-15's were height restricted for quite a while, not sure if they still are... At least the next scenery is nearing release, hate it when its ages between the volumes...

Hi Mike. Your mention of Llanfair'pg, reminded me of the story of a couple of tourists who stopped off for coffee in the village. They asked the waitress, " could you tell us where we are, and can you say it very slowly?"

The girl replied, "Buuurrrr ... Guuurrr ... Kiiiiiing"
