My latest airfield for FSX flight simulator. This airfield is near Chiusi in the province of Siena, Tuscany, Italy. I have never seen any activity at this airfield in 9 years! The motorway is the Auto Strada A1 connecting the north and south of the country starts at 1.5 Our house and pool can be seen at 4.20 through to 4.40 we live on a hill at 310 M ASL with a panoramic view of both Tuscany and Umbria. FSX un tweaked, recorded in FRAPS at 29.7 FPS half size, unedited and converted to MP4 using Handbrake free software. Cheers, Mike

Thanks guys, Mike

Hi John, Thanks to you both. I use the FREE Airport Design Editor ADE 165 works perfectly OK, every time. Building airfields and or airports is not too difficult so have a go. Cheers, Mike.

Today I decided to build a new airfield, its just down the way from me, and opened up TCALCX software which worked perfectly OK in XP but refuses to work on my new Win 7 system. I spent hours searching the internet and could not find any software to replace the old XP one. Not to be beaten I then did a different search and found this brilliant web site. You just click on the map location zoom in to check your airfield or airport and it gives the height AMSL, how clever is that! This is the link.... http://www.altitude.nu/ So I now have another working airfield added to my colle

My local airfields near Perugia and Lake Trasimeno in Umbria, Italy. Homemade photo-real scenery in un-tweaked FSX flight sim. Recorded using FRAPS at 29.7 FPS, half size. No editing.

Hi to everyone and thank you so much for the kind words of support. I use the software FSUIPC which under the Miscellaneous Tab has a mouse wheel trim selection box, tick the box and away you go. Your main PC mouse operates in the normal way. Hope this helps you Matt................... Cheers, Mike

Trim wheel made from an old PC mouse, wheel is the plastic base of a DVD spindle with a wood screw glued to the axle which goes through a hole made in the side of the mouse and connects with the mouse wheel. Two cable ties fix the unit to the table leg. Cut out a piece of black plastic to cover all the works. ..................M

My journey around Ireland......................... This is the last project in making photo real scenery for FSX as my HD's are full. I have enjoyed every minute of the work and uploads and would like to thank all of you who have watched and passed on your comments and words of appreciation. I hope you enjoy this last ride....................... Thanks for watching..........................M

I don't have an IPad but this web link may be of interest to you. https://fswidgets.com/shop/index.php This is the home page if you then click on downloads you will find a list of FREE APPS such as Google Earth moving maps. Cheers, Mike

OK chaps ....................and now for something completely different.....................wilco.................over and out

Well Dai I have completed Northern Ireland and about half way through Eire at the moment. So its back to the Emerald Isle.............................Then I must STOP!!!!!?????

A trip to the local recycling centre is my first call, you will be amazed as to what computer stuff is dumped. I recently picked up what looked brand new a 600 watt PC power supply. Got it back to my workshop to find the only problem was the cooling fan was stuck. Ten minutes later fixed and a spare power supply on the self!!!! M

Hi Ray, I have tried out most of the web browsers over the years and always seem to come back to Chrome as it appears to be the easiest to use and fastest. Cheers, Mike
