Readers of this site know that over the past few months I’ve transitioned nearly entirely from Prepar3D 3.4 to X-Plane 11. I’ve done so having spent a significant amount of money on Prepar3D add-ons: The A2A 172, 182, Piper Cherokee, and Piper Comanche Various Carenado aircraft, my favorite being the Cessna 177 Cardinal ORBX Vector,…

I’ve recently created some homemade orthographic photo scenery for Utah, as well as scenery for KPUC Carbon County, and did this flight to try out both.

I’ve been working on a few strips on-and-off for the past few weeks. I posted Clearwater yesterday, and here’s KPUC Carbon County. Also known as Buck Davis Field, KPUC is just outside of Price, Utah. A regular stop on the UPS / FedEx route it should be a good strip for FS Economy folks, and…
