Streamlined panel for Grumman Goose G-21

File Description:
This panel streamlines the cockpit and virtual cockpit (VC) views in Lynn and Bill Lyons' Grumman Goose G-21 (cc9g21f2.zip). Why mess with perfection, you might ask? I like the Goose a lot: it's elegant, versatile, and has great views for VFR sightseeing. But on my system, the virtual cockpit's a bit sluggish. There's nothing wrong here with the airplane: it's just what happens when you try to run a complex piece of software on old hardware. Rather than give up, I decided to reduce the number of gauge objects, first in the cockpit (which I don't use very much anyway) and then in the virtual cockpit (which is where you should be flying this great old bird anyway). I also eliminated some of the hotspots. With fewer gauge objects, there are more system resources left over for the sim. The result, on my system, is smoother flying. While I was at it, I also replaced the magnetic compass with a VOR gauge. I know that's unrealistic, but that's what I did.

Soaring at Elmira, NY

File Description:
It is a summer afternoon, August, and the thermal activity has picked up in the Elmira, NY area. Might just be time to pull out your Schweizer 2-32 and make a tour around the area. We use Harris Hill 4NY8 as our launch site but there are several neat ones in the area such as KELM,NK52 or even NK47. Of course there are no real boomers in thermal activity as one finds out in Marfa or Odessa in West Texas but then this is fun too.

Alamagorda, New Mexico 'Try the Ridge Soaring'

File Description:
Alamagorda,New Mexico is ideally suited for ridge soaring when the moderate breeze is coming from the west. With the mountains just to the east of town you can spend an enjoyable afternoon soaring along the ridge line and getting a great view of the white sands to the west. There is some thermal activity out over the desert floor but you must be careful since Holloman AFB is out there and also the White Sands Missile Range. All ridge and thermal lift was installed manually using the Thermiek thermal program.
