Not more than 48 hours later, I was sitting in the Campbell airport terminal, a beat-up canvas bag over my shoulder and plane ticket in my hand waiting for the Q400 to fly me back south. With the Jetranger I flew all summer, C-FEBG, its blue and white paint and worn, but well-cared for cracking plastic, all tied down and tucked away, I headed to the one hotel in town and got some much-needed rest in a real bed. We offloaded our gear and the camp equipment, attached the wheels and pushed them into the hangar just as the first flakes of snow started to fall. Our brief reprise would be interrupted by the camp manager and we would stumble out of our tents, shake off a hangover, and attempt to choke down some breakfast and black coffee while wiping the dew off the windscreens and doing it all over again.Īlthough, all good things must come to an end, and so, as the leaves started to change color and the brisk northerly winds started to turn frigid, we loaded up the helicopters and did our last flight to Campbell River to put them to bed for the season. The summer was filled with long hours sitting in an old Jetranger leaning out the door with a load of equipment or fighting my way into tiny logging pads during the days and at night we would medicate our sore buttocks and hundreds of insect bites with a proportional amount of beer.Īfter the crew was sufficiently lubricated again, we would stumble back to our tents and try to steal a scarce five or six hours of sleep. A friend of mine called me early in the spring and informed me that a small logging outfit was doing clear-cut work and long line out of a tiny airport up in the mountains. It had been a long spring and summer season up in British Columbia. Also, the narrative enclosed is only for entertainment purposes, the people are works of fiction and the locations and businesses are coincidental, please enjoy. Although, for those of you who wish only to see the review, in parts where I discuss the scenery specifically, will be italicized. In light of how much work went into ORBX’s scenery, I felt that a review that was as well crafted, interesting and engaging as the scenery, was deserving. It's easy: each solution is a single file, not a bunch of different files that should be installed in different directories with different conditions.Author’s Note: This particular review, I wanted to do something a bit different and a bit more complex. Use solutions created by simmers, create your own solutions, share your work with other people. You can download a solution from the/a file, save, rename, make your own packages. All three components could be understood as a coherent whole (package). xVision offers you a quick and convenient way to control these resources without manually editing/copying files or any other confusing rubbish.Įach xVision solution consists of three interrelated parts that affect the visual component of virtual flights: textures, Lua scripts and shader tweaks. If you have ever developed your X-Plane visuals, you know that good results can be achieved only by using good textures and FlyWithLua plugins. Please take this into account when considering purchasing/using xVision. Such changes may cause one or even all shader tweaks malfunction. Shaders are "bleeding edge" technology and may be changed by developers with next release of X-Plane in an arbitrary manner. One of significant part of xVision (shader tweaks) based on undocumented and unsupported X-Plane interface. Some functionality of xVision (shader tweaks) may be broken in next X-Plane releases. XVision Vulkan edition supports X-Plane versions 11.50-11.55r1.
