Welcome to Return to Misty Moorings! Feel free to introduce yourself here.
Hello! I'm Dan, and I handle stuff on the server side of things around here, mostly the technical stuff like the broad-scope design, security, functionality, and patrolling the forums in order to ban spambots. ;D My father, Doug, handles updating the webpages with all the fun scenery and content!
I've been working in the IT/Web industry for 20+ years now, and really like working on projects like this where the community is such a big part of it.
Feel free to PM me with any questions or suggestions you may have for the site on the tech side of things.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hey guys,
Just signed up. An avid FSE pilot! I can't wait to start flying Misty again!
-
Just wanted to say Hi and thanks for getting Misty going again in FSX.
-
Just flew in from FSE as well. Looking forward to getting to know everyone. The new place looks great but love how it still feels like the Misty Moorings I once knew.

I'm very excited to be back at Misty's. Thank you for all that you have given to the flight sim community.

:) Hi -I'm Lou from Spokane, WA. Congrat's on the new site and exciting scenery. I'm one of those blessed folks that lives in an area that has been "touched" by the hands at Orbx.

Hi, I'm Rob from N. Calif and spent part of last summer in SE Alaska. RTMM is a dream come true. Love the look and feel of it. Like the old Misty but only better!

-
:'( I'm so happy I could cry. To see the positive early response and old and new members in the forums. Well I'm all choked up.
So glad that we have a "Misty's Place" to call home again. Now if we can keep that ol' "Misty's" and Emma Field feeling going, then we've really accomplished something.
Glad to have you here,
Brad

Designer Paule here from beautiful downtown Fayeteville NC. One cruise excursion in Misty Fjords got me hooked! Comparing Pacific Fjords to my actual pics, priceless! Glad we have Misty Moorings!
-
Hmmm, I guess I am not new, so not much text to spare. ;)
Great to be back guys !

Hi there Folks, Just checking in here as a new guy to Misty Moorings. My name is Twig and I fly the 185, Kodiak and Beaver in SE Alaska.
As a long time member over at FSEconomy.com there are alot of bush pilots over there that are so excited that you guys are back up and running. Looking forward to many new things from here. Thanks :)
-
Hey everyone. I'm Charles. FSX and ORBX fan. Congradulations on the new site!
I am a general aviation enthusiast. I like to watch Ice Pilots and Flying Wild Alaska. I have been sim flying on and off for years and I am 40 something years old. If finances hold out, I am looking at getting my pilots license next year or at least starting on it.
I look forward to using this site. I used to visit the old site but quickly realised I had missed the FS9 boat. Hopefully this site has the same level of success and then some!
Charles.

Greetings everyone,
I am looking forward to some interesting flights and enjoyment of this wonderful work.
I chat with Bill Dick from time to time and he mentioned that Misty would be coming.
I hope he is around from time to time. I also look forward to this repaint of the Beaver.

Hi
I'm Jack, a Swede living in Spain. Thnis is going to be interesting and fun.
Good Luck in the future with the site.

Greetings to everyone! I finally was able to activate. Nice to have one of the "old" places back.

Hello everyone, glad to see Misty back up and running! I made some comments on the ORBX boards when PFJ was released that it was like going back home, and it was, but there was something missing still, and this was it. glad to be able to fly to a bunch of spots from the past FS9 days the c185 and supercub are gonna get a workout! so thanks to the new staff, thanks to ORBX, thanks to Holger for creating all these great sceneries and thanks as well to Francois who published the first Misty Fjords scenery. this is a great place to fly.
-
Wow! I just found this site this morning and I am amazed at what is available. The site is stunning and easy to use. I am pleased to see that the support provided is so complete for each mission. A joy to use and participate in.
I have been into FSX for only about two years and am an avid ORBX - FTX user. I tend to spend my time with bush aircraft such as Beaver, Twin Otter, Bush Hawk, Cub, Kodiak etc. This interest in these planes stems from my other passion when the snow is down and ice out, instructing canoeing and guiding wilderness canoe trips. The Beaver and Otter have taken me into the headwaters of some great rivers. Retired from the service, I also like to take the C130 and fly contours and nap of the earth in this (and all FTX NA areas) simulating SAR type missions.
Outstanding work on the site and I look forward to countless hours of stimulating flight simmimg. A huge ``Thank You`` to all involved in getting this up and running.
-
Greetings,
Glad to see the site up and running. Looking forward to seeing and flying with other low n' slow pilots. Off to peruse the site and see what is where.

Hey Paddler, welcome aboard. I'll share a secret with you ... don't tell any of the guys. Although we hope everybody enjoys this to the fullest ... we did it so WE ALSO could spend hours flying around in our favorite place! My "joy" in doing the site was getting to fly to the new areas as Brad and Kim made them. I felt like some kind of pioneer. Having made Misty Moorings previously, I thought I knew the area pretty darned well ... but I'm seeing places I have never saw before. Sandspit? (sounds like something that should be illegal!). What a cool place ... and if you look it up and see a real pic of it ... it is exactly as it really is. And it gives us a new "base" and some brand-new areas to go explore.
The additional areas ORBX/Holger put into PFJ expands it beautifully. Ever wonder what was "behind" Stewart? Check out the Elliot Fire Base ... there's a whole new world hiding back there for us.
We're also glad the page is "up" ... we'll fix a broken link here and there ... but now we can finally take a weekend and go fly this thing ourselves! We will be right there off your wingtip enjoying this too!
Doug
PS and Welcome to all the new folks ... great also to see some old friends showing up. (Don't stand too near the paint bucket, we're liable to hand you a brush and put you to work! ... FREEware is another word for "volunteers welcome!" :-)

Hey Guys, Glad to see Misty back...looking forward to joining in on the fun.

Hey all-
Benjamin (Bman.) here. Been flying around PFJ / NRM and PNW with CVEARL up above. We tore it up last night in fact and have a great flight in PFJ last night (Carenado 185). Looking forward to seeing some of you guys out there.
Cheers-

Hi, I'm Marc. I live in Sydney, NSW, and am an OrbX fan. Having bought PFJ a few weeks ago it's great to have a base in Northern America now to do some bush flying and explore that beautiful part of the world.

Hi, my name is Joe. I'm from Germany and love to fly in the this beautiful piece of the world. I'm glad to be here and want to thank you for creating Misty's Mooring for FSX. I hope it will be a wonderful time ... :)
With best regards,

Hello RTMM community,
I was a fan of Misty Moorings in FS2004 already. Now I'm more than happy that "Return to Misty Moorings" is opened (again) to all backcountry pilots. I like to explore the hinterland with little planes like Piper Cub, Birddog or Skywagon.
Brad and team, thank you very much you for all the effort and enthusiasm you bring in to keep this new site running and also for creating these new sceneries.
I know it also depends to a large extent on the fans to support you. Hopefully this will bring us back to a vibrant freeware community.
Good luck for the future.
Many greetings

Hello to all pilots and simmers- first of all thank you for your great work.

Ran out and ordered Pacific Fjords... Can't wait to use the site.
If new site is better than "old" Misty Fjords you will have a lot of members.
Also bought Pacific Northwest and Northern Rocky Mountains and will wait for you to expand!
Great Site Team...Thank You...Ray
-
Received my copy of Pacific Fjords and eight other FTX boxes today, and am greatly looking forward to exploring the Misty area again in FSX. :D
Thanks to all involved in getting this site up and running and enriching our FlightSim lives.
Yors in Appreciation,

Hi to the MM Team,
Congratulations on a great site.
I'm from TASMANIA which is an island state of Australia.
I love the Pacific Fjords produced by ORBX and now your add ons will make it even better.
The wife and I worked on the SKY PRINCESS as entertainers plying through this area
for four months of each year in 1999 and again in 2000. Juneau, Ketchikan, Skagway
and Sitka are places that will stick with us forever. I have always felt like I "belonged"
in this part of the world. Alas the wife did not; so when we did our first trip to
Devonport on the Spirit of Tasmania, it reminded us of Ketchikan, and so we moved there.
However; every night I can now go to places I did not get to see in the Pacific Fjord's and
Misty Moorings landscape. Thanks again... as Oprah would say ... I LOOOOVE IT!!!
Cheers Hank

Hello,
Just another newbee checking in and excited about finding the Return To Misty.
I was a past user of the MM fs9.
This will prompt me to reinstall fsx and buy some orbx products.
From what I have read and seen so far, this is a great place to be.
-
Guess I've made enough forum posts now, so I should introduce myself ;). I'm Glenn, hail from Ontario, Canada, and am a former RW Bush Pilot (Beavers, 185's, Otter, Aztecs, stuff like that). My virtual home is Don's "Bushpounder". This place here is fantastic and I'm ecstatic that the folks here have done what they've done for us and have opened this great site. Nice to see everyone here. Oh, and if you hear rumours of me and spandex, they are started by a rogue 'individual' over at Bushpounder (but don't worry Don - I promised I wouldn't mention your (Don) name ;D ).
-
Hi
I'm Alex from the UK another ORBX fan. Looking forward to the challange. The site looks great.
-
Hi,
I´m Klaus from Germany!
Congratulations! The site looks really very nice!!
I love the orbx sceneries for this region and have also installed the Tongass Fjords.
Just downloaded your sceneries and enhancement. Can´t wait enjoying the Pacific Fjords with them!
-
Aaron from Denver here checking in. Great to see you guys back and can't wait to start exploring. Much success to you!

Greetings from Montana!!
Thought I would say Hi....... since I'm new here to the Forum !
My name is Mark , I'm from beautiful Kalispell, Montana.
Been flightsimming for over 10 years now and enjoy the Bush Flying experience.
I have 40hrs realtime logged in a cessna 172. Unfortunately the FAA rejected my 3rd class medical cert. so no solo, no PPL, and have not flown since.
Purchased Pacific Fjords yesterday from ORBX.Looking forward to flying the Missions I downloaded today !
Take Care !

Hello, Dontay here from Portland, Or. I just wanted to stop in and say hi to everyone here and also thank the Misty Moorings team for developing this great site!
-
Hello, "One-Eye" from KEWL here...
Well, no - Chris Brisland aka "EagleSkinner" actually. How long is it since I last flew "The Moorings"? I even had a base up on the glacier at the time (thinks: I really must finish that off one day) It's nice to see the Moorings back for "X" and I am really looking forward to installing the locations and getting back down to some fun flying. FSX has been a sad place without places like this.
-
Hello to Everyone here;
From NE Ontario Can. Found this new site as advertised on home page of Flight Sim. Have been enjoying all of Orbx addon sceneries and I can only hope they keep going the rest of Alaska,Yukon, NWT and Canada including the borders across to the Great Lakes. The addon sceneries are awesome.
Misty Moorings is awesome in FSX. ;D
Thanks to everyone putting this site together.

well all i can say is,,lol its about time 8), WeDGe here, minus the N45F...i{ you might remember me as the short hops in misty fjords guy) have to say i was alittle upset when tongass came out .the scenery was yes great but it kinda divided the group because the 2 scenerys really needed one central website, then fsx came out further dividing us misty flyers.....but all thats in the past and i always look to the future...outstanding job on the new site doug and dan...and great to see old friends chris the mad eagle skinner and the like..i wonder where phil the snowman clayton hiding ;)
after mistys old forum died out i ,ve been around the world twice in fs9 and am now doing a very long euro trek tour visiting every airport in europe all 1700 of them...I just ordered the pacific fjords , accidentally the boxed version so now i have to wait to get started :o.here at the return of misty fjords ...i just hope my 3 year old win xp quad core .2.4 mhz cpu and a nvidia gx260 card can handle this awesome scenery.....if not i,ll just have to tell the wife ,its my 50,th birthday coming up and i need a new rig...... ;Dhopefully once i get this orbx scenery installed and my fsx configured properly.ill be posting weekly mission for people here to enjoy..i just love flight planning ..thats of course if its ok with the managment....also my friend over at Midnight aviation might be able to hook us up with a multiplayer server...if i ask nicely...if anyone would be interested in such a thing..lol.tks againe guys for the early birthday present.and hello again in advance to friends old and new..cheers and keep the blue side up WeDGe

Greetings from the panhandle of Texas. My name is John. Always being behind on the curve, I missed out on MM for FS9, finances as they were at the time. Looking forward to hopping around the Pacific Northwest now. Thanks for the site and addons.

Hi friends, I am Werner, just another simmer from Germany. I am retired already from business and got time without end for sim and fun. My area previously preferred for simflying has always been central europe and therefore I am newbee to everything in your part of the world!
Best regards!

Werner, Du auch hier?
Well, there sure are new "old faces" cropping up around, aren'T there? Wedge, I think Bill Dick still has contact with Phil. I've shot a message off to him/them that the moorings are back, we may well see them here before long...
-
Well it sure is great to be back home.....Im ken aka beaver1 from the old site.
Congrats to all on the new site.

Hi Wedge !
Phil wrote me a few weeks ago that he is taking a break from simming after keeping up the Emma Field Member List all these years.
-
Wow Nice to be back! Ales from Miami here.
A few "faces" I recognise. Hi WeDGe - loong time no see! Remember flying with you and the Professor years ago. You are the reason I bought the Mentor at the time. Thanks for that! Still have it in FSX now.
Hi François and CBris!
It's been many years since I used FS9 (been FSX and Orbx for some time). Old-timer at MM and happy to be back.

Jeramy from Utah here.
Flying in from fseconomy.com as well. Great place to fly, where you earn virtual money flying assignments, great time!
Love the scenery, got it all installed yesterday and did some sightseeing. Beautiful job to the entire development team!
-
Hi Jeramy, nice to see some fellow FSE fliers here, this is a great way to expand the FSE experience too!
-
I also fly with FSE and Com-Central and enjoy all of this scenery. I am from Tennessee but was in Alaska in 1959 as a forest fire fighter and now enjoy visiting the state with virtual flying. I have about 60 hours of real flying but that was about 30 years ago. We are planning on doing some bush flying with Com-Central and will be flying in RTMM areas. Looking forward to that. I am retired so have lots of time to play with all these goodies. Really enjoying it. Thanks for all the hard work that is being done on this scenery. It is a blast to see it.

been enjoying the ORBX and FSAddon sceneries both, and kinda neat to find a place where other like minded individuals hang out.. Currently reside in Idaho at the upstream end of Hells Canyon, but lived in AK for 20+ years.. looking forward to some good times, good planes, and stunning scenery!
-
Hi,
I'd like to thank all your efforts to bring back my Loved Mistymoorning!!!!!!
In my VA Alaskan Winds we have lot of flights to/from here.

Hi Beaver,
you live close to home, I have a brother in Lewiston, grew up in Elk River (about 70 miles NE of Lewiston) Retired from USN in FL (no snow) and come back to ID each summer to visit. Taking the jet boat trip up the Snake River to Hell's Canyon Dam is a great trip for anybody to experience.
-
A viewer told me about the site revamp and some of the great new projects in the works here, so I thought I'd stop by.
I'm Archammer, the host of 10 Minute Taxi. I'm looking forward to seeing the progress here at Misty Moorings.
Great work so far, and stay in touch!
-
Thank you for RMM! ;D
I had actually forgotten what a wonderful time I had with MM. :-[
So many fun bush flights over the years.
It's like an greeting old friend you haven't talked to in a long time.
The good memories of flying in this area shared.
The new memories to be created as the friendship continues once again. :)
Thanks again!
-
Hi, Im new here and looking forward to getting started. I fly on the OZx site when I can (not often enough though) and look forward to flying with you guys. Gudday to the Bushpounder crew who helped me make a shakey start into flying BC and Alaska and now I cant get enough of it. Quite a few familiar names here too. Awsome scenery Brad and all others involved.
Regards Quigs
-
Hi all
I return to misty ... after a few years off...
a pleasure to be back with you all
see later
;)
-
Hi everyone!
Fantastic site!
I have been an MSFS junkie since 4.0 (even found a copy of the first release and played it a little). I have only a few hours of actual flight time, but I love flying. If I was able to make a career out of it, I would!
MM addon scenery is amazing. It adds so much life to the sim. Looking forward to all that unfolds here.
-
Greetings all, I am Tom, an old FS'er from near Boston, MA. Love to visit the ORBX areas. Thank you all for creating a lush and scenic place to explore.
Currently I am on an Earthrounder flight in my Bonanza V35B. Just leaving Fiji. Got to get up to Misty's Place

Hi, new guy from central PA. I, of course, am a low and slow fan. RTMM will enhance my flying experence. Much info to digest. I better get on it. Lynn (ACE86)
-
Hi, I'm new to Misty Moorings.
I've installed your hard work and I have to say it is Amazing! Your group of people are very dedicated and must work many hours on these addons. Thank you for your hard work I love what I've seen and I'm not sure if I've even scratched the surface yet. Your group has put new life into my FSX experience.
Congrats on your new site!
Mike
-
Greetings from Canada, eh!
You can consider this something of a preemptive strike since, at the moment, I am unable to run FSX on my antique system and therefore I don't get to fly through any of the wonderful new Misty Moorings' scenery. However, I'm taking early retirement (40 years is enough!) at the end of April and one of my first priorities is to purchase a new computer with enough oomph to do justice to all the hard work the team has done.
I did do some flying in the FS9 version of the area and was very impressed with it then. I'm salivating with anticipation at doing some under the auspices of FSX. In the meantime, I'm building up a nice collection of discs and downloads in preparation for that happy day. I've been going into withdrawal since I had to uninstall FS9 last year to gain some much needed HD space (77Gb, over half a million files!).
Cheers,
Mike
-
Two new Mikes eh?
On behalf of the boss and the rest of the team, welcome gents and enjoy - at whatever level.
Not just Mike and Mike, but to all recent arrivals. Please collect your baggage in hall A. You will find suitable transport outside.

Hello, I am Jeff Greene. I am 48 years old, and have been flightsimming for over 20 years. I have flown just about every kind of craft out there, from A380's to hot-air balloons. (In fsx, not real life.) I have spent countless hours inside the aircraft.cfg and panel.cfg files of my various planes, forever fixing things, or trying to get them to go faster, etc. I don't care about realism, or aviation rules. I just like to jump in and go.
I live in the Pacific Northwest, in Washington State. I'm just south of Vancouver, BC. I was drawn to Misty's Place, like a bear to honey. I love the scenery so much. Lately, I have been drawn in by a challenge to make the autopilot work on a boat. I did it, and now it is so cool to cruise the waters of the "fjords". I can be found in the "Misty's-On the Water" section usually, posting my progress towards some goal or other. I'm not usually a forum type of guy, but this one is so "me". I feel like I've found a home. I've spent some time in Aerosoft's African Airstrip Adventures, and if you know what that is like, you know I have some "bush" experience. Almost all of those airstrips are sloped, pitted, hilly, congested, and the occasional elephant or giraffe will be walking down the middle of the runway. So this place is a piece of cake. I look forward to seeing Misty's community grow and develop into a great site, with like-minded people coming together to enjoy some virtual experiences.
I make brass and aluminum boat parts in a 100+ years old foundry. Here is a video that Ron, my coworker, made of us while we were working. I am in dark blue coveralls. ;)

Started wit FS in -98 and now using FSX.
I'm very glad to have found this site and I know it will give me hours and hours of fun.

Hi Folks - good to see the Misty Gang turning their amazing good work to FSX. I guess it solves a small issue I had: wether or not to go for PNW and ORCA'S, or go for PFJ and wait for PAKT? ORCA'S was my first ever add-on for FS9 so I have some nice memories of flying around that area. The availability of Vic+ and continued updates to CYYJ has kept that interest going... and I found that I could run ORCA'S for FS9 in FSX with only a few glitches - mostly the mesh not lining up, but hey... sometimes needs must!!
Just recently, I've dusted of the old joystick and done some splashing about in the default Beaver around the Tongass area. So I guess with some great looking location files provided to liven up the area, I guess I will have to raid the plastic and go for PFJ. Some of the locations look really familiar...
OK - out of time just now. The final two episodes of "The Killing" just about to start on BBC TV here in the UK...
Regards / "Foggy"
-
Hi there Foggy and welcome.
There's no either/or decision with anything that comes out of the OrbX / FtX sheds. All their stuff is good; no buts. And then there's Vancouver, Tongass and Misty that fit in seamlessly, along with existant and planned airfields - even PAKT as a separate field. Heck, if you're up for a long flight, Aerosoft's even got Dutch Harbor on the market...
There's only one "rule" and that is "there are no rules - just have fun!" Enjoy your stay in the Moorings Foggy, whether it's for a spot of banter in the bar, some aquatic frolics or even a drive round the countryside, not to mention the flights in and around the almost fifty locations dotted around the Moorings. Maybe you'll even meet some of the other members during an online MP session.
-
Hi One-Eye, so this is where you've been hiding!! I wondered where you had got to.
Re. choices of sceneries, I KNOW there's really no choice... my bank manager >:( thinks different. So for now I think it's going to be PFJ. I just hope the black box of electro-gizmo thingies, laughingly called a 'puter, will be able to take the strain.
I got Tongass for FSX some time ago; it runs reasonably well at "average" settings with just some juddering around the heavy scenery areas, e.g., PASI and PAWG, but seems to manage ok out in the back country.
Cheers for now / "Foggy"
P.S. I seems Vagn did it :-\

Hello all Im Ian from the UK.
I have been into flightsims for as long as puters came about, my first was on the Spectrum! I was a member of a vintage VA for a while and was a co founder of a CFS1 squadron some years back.
I too am an ORBX fan and was amazed at the quality of the work here at RTMM what a great site!
The work you guys do in making these great flights is excellent and adds a great deal of feeling to the whole area.
happy flying
Ian
-
Ian,
gald to have you aboard. Welcome to RTMM. I believe you will find enough to keep you flying in the 'bush' for a long time to come on the Scenery page.
At the moment the workload is being directed to the CIRP (Cambria Icefield Research Project). When it is ready it will entail a complete package in itself with much to do and see. Doug is hard at work all the time on the project. Practice your ski procedures so your ready.
Oh .... almost forgot, being the "New Guy" you have to buy the beer!

Ian,
Welcome aboard on RTMM!
I´m sure you will enjoy all the great sceneries here on RTMM as I do !!

Thanks for the welcome chaps
Spud beers on me when next in Mistys :)

Hi guys'
Only registered today, love the site, scenery is amazing work in an amazing area.
Can't wait to start exploring and hope to meet and chat to you all soon.
Cheers

Welcome to RTMM Reggy. Have a great time and be sure to take your time. That's our only request. So many people want to blast through and make their stay here a whirlwind of "I GOTTA SEE EVERYTHING NOW"
Find the time to enjoy the flight, dispatch, boat trip, etc. We put a lot of time into "Getting from here to there" so, look around as you fly, please circle above anything interesting you see below and take it all in. There's no need to rush things here. You're now living on "Misty" time!!
Brad
-
Thanks for that Brad,
It will take a while to get everything set up properly with so much on offer but I can't wait.
I couldn't agree more though, no point in people putting so much effort in to quality and detail if your going to fly past it at 250knts looking 2 miles ahead.
Cheers
Reggy
-
Reggy, welcome aboard mate!
RTMM is suburb in the respect that you can install one scenery and spend a few days fly to and around it exploring and when you have seen what is there in all its glory then install the next one and start over from square one again. It is the adventure not the destination that makes RTMM such a great place. A lot of the destinations (most in fact) do not show up on the GPS or map in FSX you have to 'navigate' to get there, again the adventure. Do not overlook the boat adventures either because it provides a complete new experience from anything you have probably ever seen with FSX. The perspective on the scenery is so different and interesting that you will wonder if it is the same sim.

Welcome Reggy,
I echo what everyone is saying about the MM area. As great as the individual sceneries are, it's the getting there that makes it so fun!
-
Reggy ...
And if boats are not enough, soon you'll be able to take a hovercraft or a jeep out onto a glacier discovering what the word "vast" really means. Pre-planned gps routes out over the ice, out of sight of all civilization checking weather instruments and going from ice station to ice station. A completely different experience. I guess you could say we're a "full service flight sim site!" :-)

Cheers for the welcome guys, can't wait to get started only problem is I might never want to leave. Looking forward to getting to know everyone in the process and hopefully sharing some stories and experiences along the way.

No,I'm not an ex-logger. About four millions years ago I fell out my Uncles barn. He yelled "Timber" while I was airborne; the rest is history.
Seen a post on the Ozx forum's regards the rebirth of Misty Moorings and came over to take a look. Ended up DL CJ's Bed and Breakfast along with the Plan-G csv.
Outstanding scenery and excellent website and forums. Kudos to all that were and are involved in building taking care of this place, and of course the folks building all this scenery.

Welcome Ken,
Only hear a wet week myself but don't think I'll ever leave. You may think you will never download it all, it's worth the wait, amazing is all I can say, use real time weather and you will never see the same view twice. One tip in case you have not spotted it yet go to "The Object Libraries and Settings" at the bottom of the http://return.mistymoorings.com/scenery/ (http://return.mistymoorings.com/scenery/) page and make sure you have the latest version of the five object libraries needed.
Cheers, Reggy :)
-
Hey Ken,
A warm welcome from me as well.

aka Dragnhorn

Hey Thanks Reggie and Draghorn. Appreciate the reply.
And thank you Reggie for pointing out the libraries.

Yes a big welcome from the crew here at RTMM. We're getting ready to put out our latest project called CIRP. (Cambria Icefield Research Project) It's been over two months in the making but we think you all will like what you see once you get it. Helicopter operators and fixed wing pilots will have a lot of challenging destinations to visit up on the ice around Stewart, BC.
Until then, welcome and enjoy all of our offerings. And please, spread the word. The more the merrier!!

Hey Ken,
also a big welcome here from Germany!
Have Fun! 8)

Hello, Kia Ora, Everyone.
Unfortunately I have been very ill, and lost some of my memory, but my wife tells me I used to belong to Misty Moorings some years back but I cannot recollect it. I absolutely 'love' this part of the world and being able to fly it, is just wonderful.
I wish I could be of help to you all, but I can't, as I am severely disabled. To see the scenery, this web page and the organisation, you should all be so proud of yourselves.
I am so humble to be a member, and wish you all the very best from the shaky Isle's
Regards, Ka Kiti Ano,
Jim.
-
Jim,
welcome aboard RTMM. Sorry to hear of your health problems but glad you enjoy the scenery etc. Even more important is the great bunch of people who are members including yourself. Lot of things to read about and explore on the site so I doubt you will get bored for some time to come. Again, Welcome Aboard Jim.

Jim,
welcome here on RTMM from me, too. Im glad and very honoured that you found back the way to RTMM! If you look for some fun and nice sceneries to fly in a spectaculous region
of the world!!
But best thing is, this community comes together with fellows from all over the world...so it`s a international community!! .. I´m from Germany...And now, New Zealand is also aboard! Great!
Again! Welcome here in our community, Jim! If you have any questions! Post it! We will help you!
-
Jim,
We're glad to have you back to Misty Moorings. I hope you find some great times in the FSX incarnation of MM, and hopefully C.I.R.P. will take you on some incredible flights as well! As Klaus mentioned, the RTMM team is scattered all over the world, and everyone is more than happy to lend a hand to get people up in the air (or on the ice/water, as it may be!), so just hollar at us if ya need anything.

Hi, Folks:
My name's Jon, and I live in Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia, Canada. That's just outside the provincial capital area of Halifax/Dartmouth, and probably of fleeting fame for being the boyhood home of Sydney Crosby, of the Pittsburgh Penguins (fwiw, his home was on our street) ::)
I must say that I'm quite astonished at the obvious amount of talent and hard work that's gone into producing MM ! Moreover, it's so obviously a very friendly place, and I've a strong suspicion I'll be spending a great amount of time here -- and I'll tell the Missus it's all youse guys' fault for making the place so irresistible!
So many thanks in advance to all those who've made all of this possible. F'sure I'll be "seeing you" around.
-
Hi Jon,
a warm welcome to you here on RTMM! Glad to have you here aboard! Nice to meet you! Greetings from Munich, Germany! ;)
-
Hi Spud thanks my friend would you be the same spud at another VA the same one I belong to (FA) ;)
Oh oh caught again! I be him!!!

Jon,
glad to have more new blood on the site, welcome. Oh by the way get the missus to join too that way your not the new guy who has to buy the beer til the next one signs up!
She will love ya to death for that!

-
. . . She will love ya to death for that!
Ye-e-e-e-e-e-e-s-s-s (spoken with an overlying tone of supreme doubt).
But I'm halfway there, I s'pose; she works the E6B and reads the instructions on the rallies we enter together -- the GAAR (and its offshoots) plus the current World Rally, compliments of DC3 Airways.
But . . . I kinda suspect the fine line would be crossed at the suggestion of joining a VA. :P
-
Hi Spud thanks my friend would you be the same spud at another VA the same one I belong to (FA) ;)
Could there be two "Spuds" out there? :o (I wonder.) Welcome to RTMM Paul. ;)

Hello! Im Olivera Sandro AKA Skkuda. (Argentina)
I used to frecuent ORBX and Aerosoft forums And I hope to be also here!
Great work with CIRP, wich I recently started to enjoy.
Cheers
-
Hi Olivera,
Welcome to Misty Moorings. I am also an Aerosoft forum member. I haven't been there much since coming to Misty Moorings, though. Thanks for posting the screenshots. Glad to have you here from Argentina. Keep the pics coming.
-
Glad to have you aboard Olivera. I believe you will find a great group of people here at RTMM. Your screen shots of CIRP are very good and after you add the sounds and blowing snow effect the realism will be complete. When you have the rest of the stations installed be sure and try some of the ground based plans because you will be amazed at the rendition of the scenery from down in it rather than from the air looking down on it.
8)
-
Hi Olivera,
welcome here on RTMM. Liked your Lama screenies very much. Have lots of fun with cirp and don`t forget looking around the nearby mountains with your heli. You will find there some nice additions! ;)
-
A big welcome to all the new faces in da place! Been absent myself for a bit ( new PC and installing everything) and just now got CIRP installed. Now to activate it all and fly, hover, boat, crawl, whatever... :-)

Hi,
I'm Nils from Northern Germany, avid virtual bush flyer and enthusiastic real-life private pilot.
I recently aquired PNW and PF after spending countless hours in the Tongass Fjords area, and now I am very happy to finally have a good bush flying scenery for Western Canada.
I registered because I want to say thanks to the authors of these nice add-on sceneries to be found here at MM, plus this website is a nice-looking place; quite appealing.
Safe flying, pilots.
-
Hi Nils,
big welcome aboard here on RTMM!!
Hope you will have lot of fun here!!
SERVUS from southern Germany!!! ;)
-
Nils,
welcome aboard RTMM I think you will find quite a lot of great scenery to enhance FSX and Pacific Fjords. As the new guy of course you have to buy the beer and German beer is world famous as some of the best!

Hello, i'm Paul from Argentina, i usually fly helicopters. This is a nice site and very good work with the scenary of CIRP and MM. Keep up the good work.
-
Welcome Paul. It's good to have you here. There are a few of us flying helicopters around lately. You'll fit in great here. CIRP is perfect for heli adventures. Have fun. ;)
-
Hi Paul,
a big warm welcome aboard from me,too! ;)
As my avatar indicates, my passion are the helicopters! So, I´m very glad others find the way to RTMM and CIRP with choppers, too!
-
Paul,
Glad to have you aboard RTMM. Probably better weather in springtime Argentina than here in the northern hemisphere. I'm in sunny Florida and had a low of 38° F last night. I never had the pleasure of visiting Argentina just Brazil. Keep the shiny side up Paul.

Well, thought I give a shout out too after reading some interesting posts here how they discovered the site and bush flying. Stumbled into flightsim back in 2002. Actually got introduced to it back with FS3 but it didn't take (too busy chasing girls!).
I'm what I call a "closet busher". Keep saying I'm gonna get more involved in bush flying but flightsim seems to take me into so many directions it never gets the attention it deserves. Mostly doing scenery design lately and building out my "simpit".
Caught the bush bug back in 70's when a buddy came over asking if I wanted to go to the beach (I live in socal... I mean Southern California, :P ) So I said "What beach, Newport?, Huntington?". He says "How about the Bering Sea?" Being only 15 at the time I said "Sure, why not." Amazingly, my folks said it was ok! So the next day me and my 19 year old friend took off in some old Toyota Corolla heading North. Next stop... Anchorage, what only 2000 miles away. ;D
Most amazing experience driving up the left coast of the US, then onto the Alaskan Highway (which back then was all dirt), through Canada. Let's see, we hit a moose, bent the frame of our car, cracked the front windshield, broke my glasses. So we looked pretty beat up after a few weeks on the road pulling into towns like Haines, Whitehorse and Skagway.
Finally got to Anchorage and immediately headed for the water. Dang, it was butt cold so we only went in for a few minutes, played some tennis, ate some grub and the next day we headed back home (I know-I know but I was teenager. What do you expect?). Alaska has been with me ever since.

Hi Clutch,
welcome here on RTMM! Great story on your trip to Alaska!

Hey all, I go by Propdriver or by Pete, wife has other names for me but we wont go there.
Love helo's favorite is Cera212 or any oil burning radial fixed wing But I will fly anything depending on mood.
Have leached the heck out of your downloads so I though I better join and say... THANKS for the great packages.
I do not fly real world, medically not allowed to. So simming is my sky :)
Anyway, I wont bore ya with too much detail, catch you around the Virtual skies and bars 8)
-
Hi Pete, welcome to Mistys.
-
Hullo, Pete:
Hope you enjoy this place at least half as much as I do. Marvelous gang of gentlemen, here.
See yuh around !
-
Hi Pete,
a big welcome here on RTMM!
Great choice with the Cera212. I love all their Helis! :D
-
Pete,
glad to have new blood on board! No one else has mentioned that the new guy buys the beer!
Take the time to study all the information here on the site. It is amazing how much has been made available. Take your time getting all the scenery, each one will prove an adventure all by itself.
Welcome aboard.
8)
-
.
Yeah, I think that's a good point, regarding the scenery. I had a rare moment of sanity when I started -- copied Dispatch 001, and just downloaded the scenery for that one dispatch. Then the next, et cetera.
Makes a lot of sense, Spud.
-
Jon,
great minds think alike! :o
::)
8)
-
Jon ... good for you!
Yes, that's why I made that Dispatch 001 ... hoping people would see that using that process is a good way to add things. Many of the scenery locations on the RTMM side have a trip tic with them. You check the "map" icon there, see where it is, if you want to fly there, then you download the zip ... you get the map, the flight plan, the scenery, etc. Then fly it. You don't need EVERYTHING ... and some people think they must put it ALL in to make it work. The whole idea of RTMM and CIRP is "getting from here to there". It is great to have a nice scenery location to leave from and arrive at, but 90% of your time will be in the air "getting there". One of the reasons we "place" scenery where we do is so people will get to see unusual and breathtaking scenery ALONG THE WAY.
So for anyone starting out, just pick what you want and run that one ... then from "there" ... pick another one, add it and fly that one. It makes the whole experience a journey ...

After getting a new PC, this is the way I'm going about reinstalling everything. Even with my ORBX stuff ( and I have all regions, plus most addon airports) I've only installed one at a time to fly circuits, explore the area, enjoy the scenery. After a few NWT sceneries (Yellowknife, etc), I'll start reinstalling all my MM sceneries. Actually, I just have to reactivate them, but one at a time and getting into the different Dispatches, Trip Tics, maps and all. It'll be after the start of the new year before I'm done......gotta love it!
-
Thanks for the welcome, is there a multiplayer server here?, where are you flying guys?
-
Hi - Jim1245 here - I did a lot of flying in the "old" Misty Moorings and really enjoyed it. Discovered the return a while back and decided to give it a try. I'm working my way through Plan G and just downloaded the 50% off REX. Seems to be a lot to learn so I might be asking a few questions. The site seems really well organized so I promise to try and find the answers before posting.
-
Welcome back Jim. Glad to have ol' timers around! ;)
-
Jim ...
Use the Site Map and do a "search" on that page for what you might be looking for. If you don't find it there, then ask us (please!). This means either we have something that is not clear or we don't have a reference to it on the Site Map ... which we want to be complete for folks just like you. So sort of help us "beta" that thing ... we'll put in what is missing. Often we have things buried deeply in the site that folks can't find, that is the purpose of the site map. We're still "digging" for our own buried treasures! :-) But save yourself time and ask. We should be able to point you to the answers or, if we don't have them we'll create an answer, post and document it on the site map.

Welcome aboard Jim, glad to have the newest member buying the beer!
The site is a 'gold mine' of information about RTMM and like Doug says it is probably there ya just have to find it! There is so much to do in Misty's world you will be busy as the proverbial 'one armed paper hanger' just flying to all the great scenery provided by the developers. Just take it one bite at a time and have fun 'getting there'. It is the adventure that counts.

Brandnew to Misty Moorings although active in the NA Orbx world. Now with PAKT I look forward to exploring this part of the world. Now to figure out how to make this work ;)
-
Hi! Best advice from me is to install the required libraries first. Then just take on one location at a time. My choice would be to install Misty's Place first. Then fly there from Ketchikan. Then install any other place you choose. Just that one choice. Fly from Misty's there. Then back again. Then select a new place. And on and on you go from there.
Enjoy.

Hi. I'm Bill Schneider. I've been a long time fan of Misty Moorings and it's the main reason I never deleted FS2004. I glad to see that you have done Misty Mooring FSX. I do have one question. Where do I find the download for Misty Moorings FSX?
-
Hi Bill, check out the "scenery" link at the top of the page. Take some time to read through the forum first though, as most questions you might have are answered already within. Welcome to Misty's.
-
Hi,
My name is Rod "Stiletto2" Jackson. I have been flight simming for many years and really enjoy bush flying. In addition, I have developed a little FSX scenery here and there and, years ago, was active in improving scenery for Falcon 4.0.
Right now I am finishing up a project that will be submitted to RTMM and will feature one of the first scenery addons to an ORBX Airport product.
After the release of the wonderfully done ORBX PAKT and Service Pack 1, I still felt there was room for additional scenic detail along Ketchikan Harbor. I was especially focused on the area of Ketchikan just northwest of the cruise ship docks where Tongass Ave swings away from Water Street and heads up the harbor coast. There you will find numerous float plane docks/businesses involved with floatplane transportation etc.
I got a real good look at it in 2010 since that is where the Coral Princess was docked and I was staring out from the stern and looking down at all the activity on these little docks. ORBX PAKT (SP1) does not detail any of this along the harbor coast. So, I decided to add a fictitious floatplane tour and transport service named Eagle Air to that area. Before I knew it, I created pilings/boardwalks and multiple buildings around Eagle Air to try and capture what I had seen when I was there.
I also felt the autogen in that area was a little thin so I filled in some of that and before long had added objects from downtown Ketchikan all the way northwest to The Plaza Shopping Center area.
So after adding over 300 objects to the Ketchikan Harbor area, I am just about ready to submit the Ketchikan Harbor scenery addon for PAKT (SP1) to RTMM for final review.
If you have been looking for more detail in that area, this scenery addon may be for you. And what fun it is to take some of those tourists off the cruise ship, pick them up at Eagle Air and fly them out to places like Dan's Hideway, Thorne Bay Island Retreat and even Misty's Place.
Stay Tuned......
Rod
-
Welcome Rod........you'll love it here. Lot's of nice folk and great scenery in the PFJ area. Your enhancement will be a welcome addition to the Ketchikan area. Like you I was there in June of 2010 on the Golden Princess cruise ship. Wish I could have stayed longer and taken a float plane tour from Eagle Air! :-)

Hey Teecee,
welcome to RTMM like ORBX stuff this is a low n' slow heaven. Be sure and install all the required library files first and I recommend Tongas X if you have not purchased that as yet. For RTMM members Francois offers a discount on its purchase, just search this site for the information. (Sneaky way to get folks to find all the goodies!) I'm just over the hill in Pensacola from you.

It's OK, Harry, It's only virtual beer. So make mine a double. ;D Welcome to Misty Moorings. This is a good time to just go through EVERY forum we have. Take your time, and check out the threads. When you are finished, you will be a wise old sage, in the ways of Misty. Many, if not all of your questions have been answered already, and the solutions are waiting to reveal themselves to you. We are happy to help if there is something that comes to mind. Now about that beer . . .

Hello. Another new member here. I recently switched from FS9 to FSX (finally have the PC that will run it). But I missed all the Misty Fjords and Misty Moorings scenery of FS9. Until I heard about this place. I'm as happy as a kid in a candy store. Great work. Downloaded most of your add-ons and enjoying my flights again. Thanks.

Welcome and Mahalo Maui Bob,
I spent my honeymoon in 2004 on the Big Island and Maui. Did the "Road to Hana" trip and saw the final resting place of Charles Lindbergh. Then we did the sunrise bike ride down from Haleakala. Both amazing excursions. We plan on returning someday.
Hope you enjoy your time here at RTMM.
Brad

I actually have Lindbergh's autograph on a photo contained in a copy of the menu for the 'Official Banquet in honor of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh' held in the Hotel Statler , Buffalo, NY, on July 29, 1927. Got Jimmy Doolittle's kicking around somewhere, too.
Oh, and Aloha, Maui Bob. Welcome aboard.

As a former member of Misties, and a great admirer of the hard working folks that have brought this beautiful area back to life, I just want to say a huge thank you.
I did a multiplayer flight yesterday for the first time, and we were astonished at what has happened here.. the Orbx scenery is magnificent, and ALL the addons are fantastic. Buddy and I were awestruck by the vistas, and amazed at all the great little strips that have been done for the area. It's great to be back.
Keep up the good work guys. Teecee (Terry)
-
Hey TeeCee,
welcome to RTMM. With the scenery within the ORBX PFJ/PNW areas this is the best of both worlds and the team is becoming more proficient on a daily basis with new skills and knowledge gained. If you like low n' slow with bush as the mainstay this be the place!
Oh and now that Aloha Bob is no longer the new guy I'm sure he doesn't mind that you have to buy the beer!

Hi TeeCee,
Many thanks for these kind words.
And welcome, I'm pretty sure you will enjoy all new sceneries from the team.

I live in the UK, I've never been west of the Mississippi, but Return to Misty Moorings feels like coming home :)
Hi, I'm SkipperMac, aka Norman. I've been flightsimming since the late 80's, but haven't been doing much for the past year or so as I was driving my old pc just a bit too hard with all the goodies ORBX provided (and some extras from Brad as well) in the Pacific North West. So I bit the bullet and built something more suitable ... then bought a house which has taken up too much time since the new year. But finally I got my "flight station" sorted, downloaded ALL the Misty scenery (ok, I haven't installed CIRP ... yet!) ... and here I am.
Good to be here, good to see FSEconomy being talked about, and good to be flying again ... virtually.
-
Hey Norman,
welcome to RTMM and to being the newest bloke to buy the beer. I know what you mean about pushing the system with all the excellent scenery from ORBX and RTMM. My old system sheds a tear every time I fire up the sim anymore.
Enjoy the 'the journey' to all the little places RTMM provides.

Thanks Spud. The beers are on me ... virtually 8)

I barely ever register to forums but this just have to be complimented. Great work and really there is bunch of us out there that appreciate the effort. Just some minor thing, I find your site by looking for Dodo skin and of course it is the great skin, but you are hard to find and easy to stay with, so i think you must make yourself more visible to the world.
Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the kind comments. We should have even more visitors soon because PC pilot magazine is planning a feature article about Return to Misty Moorings written by Peter Stark. It will be in one of their upcoming magazines soon. So keep a look out for it.

Signed up a few days ago, so hello everyone. My virtual FS career goes back to 2002 and before. I flew basically airliners (still do) but it seems to be shifting towards bush flights. For some reason the American North-West coast has my special interest. Have flown most of the globe from Terra del Fuego to Siberia, but here's where I always come back to. Hence, its pure logic to join Misty Moorings. :)
-
Welcome to Misty's Place, Slowhand. It's good to have you here. Since I found Misty's a year and a half ago, I rarely fly out of the area. It's got everything, runways, terrain, weather, eye candy, missions, flightplans, picture gallery, AI traffic, Virtual airline, and all you people . . . too much good stuff in one place. :D
-
Hello to all of you !
Two months ago me and my wife were so lucky to enjoy the astonishing nature of British Columbia. A.o. in Vancouver we made a great scenic tour with the DHC-2 Beaver and became fans of this beautiful plane ! As a 500+ hours FSX-enthousiast I would like to fly more on this bush-plane (or similar) and discover the beauties of the 'Misty Moorings'-area.
Happy flying !
-
Ho GoBeeCee!!
Welcome aboard here on RTMM!! :)

Hi there, GoBeeCee, and welcome to the nicest place to fly in FSX.
Your forum handle reminds me of a family anecdote: About ten years ago, on a typical Canadian crappy-weather day in early March, my wife looked out the window to see a scrawny young black cat eating some "ugly food" we'd left out for the crows. She figured it was pretty doggone hungry to be eating that stuff, so she put a bowl of kibble out for it. The cat vanished when he saw her.
The poor little guy was obviously feral -- or close to it -- but he came back during the night and licked the bowl clean. Next day, the black cat was there, hiding in a nearby bush, and we fed it again.
Each day at supper time, we put a bowl out and I could watch "The Black Cat" through the window as he ravenously devoured whatever we'd put out for him. Our two indoor cats got into the act and watched the daily proceedings with great interest.
In the interest of laziness, "The Black Cat" got shortened to "Bee Cee". But even that got modified over time to "Beecie" -- accent on the first syllable with the same inflection as "greasy".
As the following winter approached, I built an insulated "house" for him and installed it under some foundation shrubs, whereupon Beecie spent most of that winter sleeping under the snow, and feeding at the front door, twice a day during winter.
One rotten, scabby-weather day in February, we opened the door to put his bowl out and Beecie stumbled inside. He shook-off the snow, looked around and decided to stay.
Being worried about disease and bugs, a quick trip to the vet was in order, but we were surprised to find he had zero problems! So we brought him home and he's remained contentedly as one of our indoor cats, ever since.
He's getting a tad old now (we estimate he's 12), but he still has the honour of being the most affectionate cat we ever had -- bar none -- which is kinda at odds with his initial feral state. Nowadays, in our new apartment, he snoozes each afternoon away on "his footstool" on the sundeck.
Unfortunately, Beecie still tends to eat like he's still a starving waif, but overall, he's a happy, if somewhat fat, cat!

Welcome Slowhand & GoBeeCee. This forum is tops if you like bush flying in the ORBX Pacific Fjords, FSAddon Tongass Fjords and (soon) ORBX Southeast Alaska scenery areas. There are many RTMM addon sceneries to experience and RTMM even provides missions both for planes and for boats.
Make sure you bookmark this place for there are also many good things to come in the future. The RTMM team is a dedicated group and should make your stay very enjoyable. Doug Linn, our fearless leader is on vacay right now, but I am sure you will be hearing from him when he gets back in a day or two.
If you have any questions just ask and you will get a response pretty quickly.
Have fun!

Hello to all of you !
Two months ago me and my wife were so lucky to enjoy the astonishing nature of British Columbia. A.o. in Vancouver we made a great scenic tour with the DHC-2 Beaver and became fans of this beautiful plane ! As a 500+ hours FSX-enthousiast I would like to fly more on this bush-plane (or similar) and discover the beauties of the 'Misty Moorings'-area.
Happy flying !
Hello GoBeeCee,
You're in the right place, that's for sure. Welcome to Misty's. When I read your screen name the first thing I thought was, . . . they must be from Vancouver, or close. I live in Bellingham, just south of the border. I also am a beaver driver (virtually). The Aerosoft beaver X is my weapon of choice. Again, welcome.
-
GoBeeCee,
Welcome aboard RTMM. I'm sure Slowhand relishes your showing up 'cause' the new guy has to buy the beer, so he's off the hook now.
I think you'll like the crew and adventure here at RTMM. We are new and growing all the time, take your time and read and study the posts etc. here and you will be amazed at all the guys have accomplished in the short amount of time since RTMM became a reality.

Thank you all for this warmhearted welcome !
No, I'm not living near Vancouver, and yes, I'm inhabitant of a small town in the southern part of Holland, near Eindhoven. The nice story about the 'Black Cat' BeeCee strikes me since I do also intend to stay a 'while' on Misty's place.
So, a virtual 'cheers' on my account ! :D :D
Kind regards,
GoBeeCee
-
A warm welcome to GoBeeCee and SlowHand from me as well in N. California. They call me Black Hands, but that's a story for another time when y'all have bought a few first rounds of brew! ;D

Hi. Hope to get along with all of you.

Hi cyrilrask47!!

Hello from a hot n humid Bangkok
what are the 3 must have aircraft for misty moorings?
Im flying the wilger and kodiak for bush flying
great site and friendly folk , I like it here so far
-
Zoran ... welcome aboard. People are flying about anything that can get in the air and maybe float without sinking! Sort of "your" choice. If you go to the enhancements page, there are some great repaints to download there of some of the favorites here at the site. Glad to have you aboard.
Doug
-
Thanks Doug , I've found a thread for aircraft and reading it to get a feel
-
I absolutely love the Carenado C185 "Bush" package. Also the Carenado, Cessna "Stationair" 206 package that they offer with the amphibians in it.
I also recommend the Flight Replica's Super Cub package for a huge selection of Bush planes and amphibians, float planes, etc. Top notch.
Also, make sure to get the "AccuFeel" addon and use that with your aircraft too. Nothing like landing on a grass or dirt strip and hearing your plane groan and creak as it rattles across the ground.
Welcome to RTMM and we hope you stay around.
Brad
-
Welcome Zoran,
There's alot of reading to do, so grab a cup of whatever you drink and settle in. It's nice to have people from distant points around the globe. Glad to hear from you in Bangkok. I'll throw my 2 cents in on the plane issue. I use the Aerosoft DeHavilland DHC-2 Beaver X amphibian mostly, but also get a kick out of the Piper J-3 Cub and the RealAir Scout amphibian. Oh, and there's alot of chopper work to be done, so the helicopter of your choice is also something to consider. I have several, from the MD500 to the EH101. A DC-3 repaint is available for Misty's also. So many planes, so little time.
See ya around the forum. 8)
-
Hi Zoran,
Welcome to Return To Misty Moorings. You almost have to check in every day there is so much happening. Lots of great scenery to explore. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.....you will find that helpful response is usually pretty quick around here.
Have fun!
Rod
-
wow Active forums are hard to find. Did some searching and ended up with the seabee for freebie and handles as good as some payware craft http://www.premaircraft.com/ delete the link if not allowed
I have been living in bangkok retired (50) for the last 5 years and to say the least its never ever boring except the heat, probably why I do my flying in Alaska ::)
-
Zoran ... know what you mean about the weather. For about 4 months the RTMM team was working on CIRP ... the ice stations, up on the glaciers above Misty Fjords. (Brrrrrr). When we were finished, most of us were flying in the tropics for a few weeks just to get warmed up again! :-)

Hi. My email says jsapair but call me JJ if you would. I live in Nor Cal and have I've been an FSX simmer for a few years now. Came across RTMM a while ago but didn't have the Acceleration Pack. I do now. Bought a new hot rod 'puter and pretty much dedicated it to simming. If you want the basic specs its a full tower, water-cooled case, i7 3820 quad 3.8 ghz, 16 gigs RAM, Nvidia GTX 670 2gig GPU. I just downloaded and installed the FTX PFJ program and now I'm ready for some RTMM flying. I also enjoy flying the heavies on ILS but the low and slow small planes in the NW is where my heart's at. What I enjoy the most about simming in general is, on my airlines, the pilot can have a cocktail or two :)
-
Welcome to Misty's JJ,
It's sounds like you've got a good machine there. I'm glad you're getting it together. Bush flying is great fun. As Spud always says, "New guy buys the beer". Cheers. ;)
-
Count on a 6 pack of warm O'Douls from me. I'm a whiskey drinker myself. Got run over by a whiskey truck when I was 9. Been with the driver and his family ever since, although with a slight limp. Heard my parents were with the circus but never could confirm that.
-
Jeff, speaking of machines...yikes..you've got one. I went from a basic Dell desktop to having one built from Cyberpower. My wife was out of town when I ordered it. The thing is a monster. Now I can't find my wallet and I sleep with one eye open. Probably a coincidence.
-
Yep, my machine is a collection of parts I ordered online and assembled myself. Best one I've built yet. 8) I'd still like to get a couple more monitors though.
-
I investigated that route and found it cheaper to go this way... I thought. What I didn't realize at the time was they had a physical presence in CA. Tax and shipping to the tune of $300. I'll deal with it though...great machine regardless. Take care pal.
JJ
-
Hey JJ,
Welcome to RTMM. I know you and I have already chatted but I am happy to see you introduce yourself to all here. I think you will find that we are a pretty active and helpful bunch.
I have to agree with Jeff on multi monitors. I currently have 6 monitors, two desktop computers and a laptop in use for my "cockpit".
Hard to believe my setup (except for the graphcis board) is now over two and a half years old. Luckily, it had a lot of power to begin with and still does pretty well. These are the detailed specs:
i7 980X @ 4.01 Ghz | Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R | 12 GB DDR3 RAM | EVGA GTX580 3GB | 2x 256 GB Crucial SSDs | WD 1 TB HD | 3 ViewSonic VX2240w | Matrox Digtl TH2Go @ 5040 x 1050 | W7-64 Ultimate | TrackIR 5 | Prjct Magnta GAIFR Panel on AMD 3400+ & Hannspree 19" | GoFlight GF166A x 2 & GoFlight LGTII | Saitek Pro Flight Yoke | Simped Rudder | TM Cougar & TQS | Headset for VoxATC | Acer 18" & Keypad for GPS | T2330 Pentium & Acer 15" for Plan-G
I am looking forward to seeing some great scenery screenshots from you. Have fun!

Hi all of you,
My name is Jan and i'm from the Netherlands.
I'm in to flightsimulator for a long time, it started when i told a friend i liked to navigate and wanted a game where i can do that, so he told me about FS98 and then all off it begun, i am the type who like the good all planes like the DC2, DC3, C47 Grumman Goose and so on as long they make noise and leaking oil.
I always as i remember loved being around in terrain with water, hills and forest, so the bushflying for me was born and where is the place to do that, i don't have to tell you, because you're there...........
I think you guys are lucky when you live overthere.
Greetings from a flat country ;)
-
Welkom! Wij hopen dat u hier genieten van uw tijd op Terug naar Misty Moorings. ;) Als het nieuwste lid, moet u het bier te kopen! 8)
For those of you that don't speak Dutch, including myself, using Google Translation is fun. (Welcome! We hope you enjoy your time here at Return to Misty Moorings. As the newest member, you have to buy the beer!!
I hope I don't cut and paste something that isn't what I meant it was to be. I always worry about that. Like if I say, "It's great to have you here", I worry that it will come back in some language as: "You're not welcome here." Or something completely opposite of what I wanted to say.
But anyway, welcome to RTMM Jan and we hope you have a great time here.
Brad
-
Morning, Brad
Thanks for the welcome, and yep your dutch is ok, mixed up some words but the meaning is the same.
and now for the beer i will buy it for all of you, if you gonna pay for the ticket then i bring it personelly, one way will do. :-[

Hi Restless,
Welcome to RTMM. I think you will really enjoy this site. There are a lot of friendly people and you can get a response pretty quickly.
I live in Florida and it is pretty flat also. Kinda hot now but great in the winter! The good news is that the temperatures are much cooler in Misty Moorings area and the bush/hills/glaciers are a lot of fun.
Look forward to hearing more from you in the future.
Rod
-
Welcome Jan,
We have members from all over the world. It's good to add another pin in the map for Netherlands. You're gonna like it here. Get a cup of coffee and read the forums. Any questions you may have will be answered. I advise to take your time and install a couple of destinations first. Then fly to them, and add more each day. There are, I think, about 147 or so locations now. Install the object libraries first so everything will show up right. See you on the screenshots thread. Welcome again. 8)

Zoran, JJ, Jan,
been while since I checked the forums so I'll also add my welcome aboard to RTMM with the rest of the guys and gals here. Bushflying at its finest for sure. I guess Restless (Jan) is the latest newbie and has to buy the beer until replaced with the next "Bushie" to come to RTMM.

Good morning to all of you guys,
Thanks for the welcome,
Jeff i already installed a couple of the sceneries and fly only around your neigbourhood.
And for you rod, i know a little bit of florida, been there some times for vacation (Bradenton) and for my work a couple off times to build up the boatshow at FortLauderdale.

Hi Jan,
It is a small world since i live just 20 minutes east of downtown Bradenton. Should you get back into Bradenton, let me know and you really can buy the beer! ;D

Hello fellow RTMM simmers,
I'm new to Misty Moorings, but not to FSX. I've been downloading some of the RTMM scenery and objects and getting things set up within Tongass Fjords, PFJ, and FTX PAKT, and I have to say . . . 'Thanks' for all the hard work and effort that has gone into this project. I've had a ball today just flying into some of the locations, such as Misty's Place, Yes Bay Lodge, Hollis, exploring new details within Ketchikan Harbour, etc. So much fun!
I live near KPDX, in the rural Oregon (USA) countryside. I hope to hang around the forum and learn a few things, and maybe even contribute a little.
By the seat of my pants,
Ted

Welcome Ted.
Contribute a little?? Sounds good. Contact Doug and let him know what you have in mind. Always looking for people interested in contributing to RTMM.
Brad

Welcome aboard Ted,
good to have yet another bush flyer at RTMM I think you will find a 'second home' with the great bunch who sit around the bar at Misty's Place and swap flying yarns while enjoying that virtual 'cold one'. By the way, you do know the new guy buys the beer! Looking forward to your efforts for the group.

Thanks for the warm welcome! Seems like a great bunch of folks and I look forward to making your acquaintance. BTW, the next round's on me!

Welcome, Ted!
We look forward to your interaction and any future contributions. I bet you have been flying some of the ORBX scenes in your area. I just flew into the updated Stark's last night and the new coloring is superb!
You will find everyone quite helpful so if you have any quesitons...just post 'em and you will see a response pretty quickly. I am sure you will enjoy some of the great scenes in Southeast Alaska courtesy of RTMM as well as the great ORBX and Tongass Fjords scenery packages.

Hi Rod,
I live just a few hundred meters from 7S3. I thought I saw you buzzing the back of my property! ;)
Anyway, I've been getting familiar with the RTMM area by simply running some flight plans from Misty's Place and PAKT. I'm really impressed by all of the add-on scenery. And I already thought PFJ and Tongass were already excellent. Now they've really come alive! What fun!
Thanks to all for the welcome.

Hi Ted,
A big warm welcome here on RTMM from me, too !!!! :)

A warm welcome to all the newcomers. I'm still recovering from a bad hangover, after all the new rounds of virtual beer! :-)
Ted, that must have been you posting the flipped aircraft at Starks over at the FTX forum. I'll be driving past Starks on Monday, traveling up to Seattle. I may have to make a small side trip and actually see it for myself.
Again, welcome all.

Patrick,
welcome to the RTMM family. Great bunch of folks here and I'm sure you will enjoy all the adventure of "the journey". And remember the new guy has to buy the beer.
NeptuneP2V7 brings back many memories for this old Naval Aviator. When I was a very young sailor just out of boot camp I was stationed at NAS Los Alomitos and begged a ride in my first Navy airplane on a weekend. It was the P2V. 20 years later I made my last flight as pilot in command in a Navy aircraft and it too was the P2V-7 training reservists at NAS Glennview.

Hello Patrick,
Thanks for this nice travel.

Its Tim here from OZ and I just wanted to say hi and to introduce myself. I thought it was time to do some flying around PNW/PFJ/Tongass Fjords after flying OZ/NZ and PNG.
Please let me congratulate you chaps on an outstanding website!! It looks like soooo much fun and am very keen to sink my teeth into some fantatsic adventures here at RTMM.
Thank you very much for letting me register.
Kind regards.

Hello Tim. Welcome to RTMM.

HI Tim,

Hello Tim,
Welcome on RTMM, you come to the right place if you in to bush flying, if you see the ADDONS they produce over here, it's really great fun to have them, you need more than two eyes for all the candy.
I'm sure you like it here. ;)
Jan
-
Tim,
welcome aboard RTMM. As many others have already said there is so much to enjoy and experience here. Read up as much as you can on the methods recommended for installing RTMM scenery and do not be intimidated by the sheer volume of what is offered. One bite at a time will let you "eat the elephant" and have a great time at the same time. RTMM is a vast experience to be savored slowly and deliberately.
Of course like the new guy everywhere your expected to buy the beer! ;D

Welcome Tim :)

Ditto, Ditto and Ditto. These are the most prolific bunch of designers I've come across on any virtual site. I've found that any problem I've come up w/, there is some one here that can offer good advice on solving it, so far it's usually not following instructions that has been my biggest downfall
-
WOW!!!
What a very warm welcome from you all.
Thank you. ;)
Now off to download some RTMM stuff and get stuck into some seroius bush flying.
Oh.... Do you guys do any multiflying?
Cheers.

Tim,
in the past there were a few multi-player efforts but lately they seem to have disappeared. There were servers for it at one time but I'm not sure anything is available any longer. Anybody know for certain?
8)
-
Tim,
not really multiflying as you might have asked, but you could Northern Air Charters a try.
It`s a Virtual airline related to bush flying, especially dedicated to the RTMM areas we love so much.
It`s not an offical part of RTMM but the founder of Vnac, Chris Losh, is very related to RTMM.
Vnac`s regulations are very open minded, so it`s in a lot of aspects different to other VA`s.
You might look here:

Hi Guys,
Spewin about the multiplayer thing..... Oh well will check out corbu1 sugestion. Thank you for the heads up.
I have one question? I have downloaded dieters Plan-G files, but "Misty's Place" and any other place with an ICAO does not appear with a "airstrip" icon?
What am i doing wrong? Should I ask this question in an other part of the forum?
Cheers.
Tim...

Should I ask this question in an other part of the forum?
Yep. ;) I think that question has already been discussed in the forums, actually.

Tim,
do not forget about the 'search' function to see if the same or similar questions have been addressed in the forums plus the forum titles give a clue as to what type of question are posted in them.
In this case let me direct you to the Misty's Place section (click on that at the top). In the table shown pick Database updates and download the "cvs" file by Dieter. They will update Plan G so it shows all the RTMM location in the various scenery areas the cvs files cover.

Hello!
I found you guys in the PC pilot mag. Your site looks fantastic. Ive been looking for mission and adventure type of flying. I however use prepar3d and also the fsx to p3d migration tool. It has worked so far with all addons Ive tried. Please tell me that Ill be able to join your system. I would like your guidance
thank you Lee 770-883-4514

Hi Dan and the gang. I am like a kid in a candy store, so many things to do. :P
Like dental12 I found your site through PC Pilot.
Thank you to all those people who have spent their free time to make the Orbx scenery come alive.
Beating about the bush has never been so much fun. ;)
-
Hi dental 12,
a big warm welcome here on RTMM!
I´m sure you`ll like this great community here.
We discussed P3D already in some posts. I personally didn`t try switching from FSX to P3D.
I´m not sure if all the software and hardware on my computer will work without problems using P3D.
If you have questions feel free asking... :)
-
Hi jeywhy,
also a very big warm welcome here on RTMM! :)
Great, you liked the PCPilot`s article.
Just like around here on the forums....take some time...there`s much to discover!
-
Hello Dental12, hello Jeywhy,
Welcome at RTMM.
As klaus said, take all time to discover the RTMM sceneries.
We will get soon, we hope so, a new area for which we have many ideas.
OrbX SAK will be a very nice country, a nice place for bush flying, and we are impatient to add there what we have added to PFJ and Tongass.
Cheers,
Xavier

Hello Dental12, hello Jeywhy,
Welcome! I think you will find RTMM to be a fun site with a very responsive staff. Don't hesitate to ask if you have any quesions or need help with a particular scenery package.
Rod
-
Uhoh!
I can see a problem from the new publicity bringing in fresh blood to RTMM. We will just have to require all newbies to buy one round of beer so nobody slips through the cracks with multiple new RTMM members joining the ranks the same day.
Welcome aboard to Dental12 and jeywhy as already pointed out we are like a big ol' family 'round' here. Need to know something just ask. I can say with certainty that you could spend at least a week just reading and becoming familiar with all the great content available on the board before you even downloaded your first scenery location so dig in, enjoy and let the journey begin!

Hello to all,
I post this from Belgium where I've discovered your site and all the possibilities you offered...
A new return to VFR for me...
Thanks, and appologyse if I make mistake in English, it's not my native...
Jean-Mi
-
Hi Jean-Mi,
welcome here on RTMM! Gretings to Belgium!
You will soon see there`s pretty much to discover here. Take some time and have a look around here.
... and English isn`t my native, too.
The only mistake you can do is not asking questions if you have any. So, always feel free asking if you are in need for help!!!
-
Hi Jean-Mi,
Welcome to RTMM! Don't worry about the language we just want to help when you need it or just chat whenever you have a comment or question. I think you will find this is a fun place to be. Take your time and enjoy all there is to see.

Jean-Mi,
welcome aboard RTMM and a return to VFR. Low, slow and under the weather for the "journey", as you become familiar with RTMM and all it has to offer I think you will rarely fly the 'tubeliners' any more. I'm sure if you have a question it will be answered without too much of a problem due to language difficulties. We will work it out I'm sure.
Belgium has excellent beer I understand. This is good because the new guy has to buy the beer! ;D

-
For the beer? No probs, i've lots for you...
But only Leffe (May be X-Mass Leffe?)
Just... In my PC6? Lots of beer?
OK I read, Try and Ask if Q???
Jean-Mi
-
A big welcome to the newest members! I'm sure you'll find many enjoyable hours of flying and discovering to be had here.
-
Bienvenue Jean-Mi !
Leffe is a good idea. By 6 !
Safe flight.

I've dusted off FSX, some ORBX files and Tongass X, signed up and walked thru the Dispatch door.
What a great site! I "should of, would of, could of" years ago but WWI, WWII, Korea, IL-2, Falcon 4, DCS, all had me flying and fighting.
What a pleasure to fly "low 'n slow" without getting blown out of sky or having to constantly "check 6".
Old habits do die hard though. I'll be using Plan-G as a kneeboard to navigate with for a while.
Cheers,

Hey plug_nickle,
welcome aboard RTMM! As you have already discovered the 'journey' is the icing on the cake. With over 130 destinations to fly to that makes a lot of 'journeys' to enjoy. Of course that is only part of the package with AI shipping and A/C to make the journey even more interesting it just never seems to end. The development team is constantly at work bringing new and better things to RTMM.
Of course Jean-Mi will be happy to be off the hook on buying the beer because as the "newbie" your on the hook for keeping the bar stocked. ;D
An Old Fighter Duel call sign is familiar to me. My 'Spud' comes from my real life call sign as a Naval Aviator. I hail from Idaho so it was a natural progression for my call sign.

Hi plug_nikel,
welcome here n RTMM!!!!!
Give low and slow a try!!!! It´s much fun in this beauiful location! :)

The bar tab is on me 'till the Dispatch door opens again.

Welcome plug_nickel,
Take your time and look around. There is a lot to do here. Everyone is quite friendly and very willing to help. If you have any question, don't hesitate to ask.

Hi,My name is Ron from Ottawa,Ill.I have not introduced myself yet but have been using the forums.I have been flight simming since my Tandy 1000 a long time ago.I love this stuff and enjoy all the people I have met thru it.I am old,but I have been doing it a long time( downloading and installing etc.) so please have patience with my inquiries. Thanks,Ron
-
Hi Ron,
Welcome to RTMM. Thanks for coming over to introduce yourself. As you've already found out, we are happy to help. Ottawa, Illinois eh? At first glance, I missed the "Ill" part. It's good to have another middle US'er with us. Happy holidays everyone ;)
-
Howdy Ron,
Welcome aboard RTMM. Your in luck as Fishbone just posted about a new sign he will be adding to Misty's Place announcing Happy Hour. With the new guy having to buy the beer it will help save some dough!
As Rod says any problems or questions just jump on the board and ask for help. We will do our best to help out.

Hello All
How on earth does an ancient old South African like me wind up at Misty Moorings?
I have been an admirer of Holger Sandmann for more years than I care to remember.
Now that I have reached as stage in life where one asks what is important, my answer would have been "get a PPL and go shares with someone in a light aircraft. Unfortunately I am not able to do that anymore - at 60 years old my eyes just don't cut it anymore. So I decided to return to Flight-Simming again, but more seriously this time. If I can't do it for real then I'll just have to make flight simulation "as good as it can possibly get". I have just built a multi-monitor setup - 9 monitors powered by 5 high-end PC's, and now it's time to get stuck into some serious flying.
Since Holger Sandmann is now attached to ORBX, I started raking notice of ORBX sceneries. This means I would have to look at Australia, New Zealand in the southern hemisphere or the Pacific North West of the Americas in the norther hemisphere. Australia and NZ are a South African's natural sporting enemies, so I would have great difficulty relating to either place. I am also passionate about spectacular sceneries, so here I am. 8)
May I be so bold as to ask the first question:
I have never done any bush-flying in FSX before. My FSX experience has so far been on heavy jets and old multi-prop (notably A2A B377) aircraft. I realize that to fly seriously around RTMM one needs to become very proficient with one's virtual aircraft - i.e., another lengthy learning curve. So, my first question: which aircraft do most of you use for Bush Flying? I am currently looking at A2A's Piper Cub or Aerosoft's BeaverX.
Greetings from Cape Town at the Southern tip of Africa

Hi Dave,
a big warm welcome here on RTMM!!!
Our community is growing more and more international....Wow, that`s fantastic!
Wow, ....9 monitors and 5 Pc`s built together to one setup....Man, THAT IS A SET-UP!!!!! :)
You must have rented a hangar to build it up.... :)
Just look around here, download the goodies you find...fire up your sim... take off, and you will soon realize the misty`s region is a very special and unique place for flightsimming.... :)
Again, welcome aboard and have fun!
-
Thanks for your warm welcome, Klaus
Actually, the system is very small and compact.
Attached is just a small quick Pic of the system.
If you count you will actually see 11 monitors.The two on the bottom left are not actually connected to the Wideview system, but instead they are connected to the Wideview server via WideFS where FS commander is linked to the system. So, if you like, there are actually 11 monitor and 6PCs in the entire system.
Biggest problem is that it gets rather hot in the room because it is so small! :P
-
Dave,
Wow, I´m speechless.....Looking really great!
Thanks for the picture! I see you built up your own construction to attach the monitors.
:)
-
Hi Dave,
A big welcome from me. Don't mind my Hog, I couldn't afford a Harley. :-\ Lot's to explore here and plenty of help to get you up and running. Both your aircraft mentions will fill the bill nicely. I have both the A2A Cub and Aerosoft Beaver and love them. The new Tri Pacer from Lionheart Creations is a fun bush plane as well. Even the good ol C185 Amphipian (from Carenado) is a fine choice. There are others as well.
-
Welcome aboard Dave,
RTMM is a great 'home', friendly, helpful folks who are always eager to help out with any question you might have. Just as the aircraft question you have already asked.
I must say I'm more than amazed at your 'cockpit' photo. :o I can imagine the heat generated by that many electronic gadgets running. :P Have to keep a good supply of cold brew handy. :) Speaking of which you do know that the 'newbie' is required to buy the beer at Misty's Place until being replaced by the next member to join us? Belly up to the bar boys and girls Dave's buying.
8)
-
Wow Dave, that's some rig you got there. You know we're all drooling. Except maybe Rod. He's set up pretty fancy too. Welcome to RTMM. I'd be happy to tell you that I am a beaver driver. I fell in love with the Aerosoft Beaver X last year, and fly it almost exclusively. I have a thread in the screenshots called "Beaver Shots", if you want to have a look. (it's the thread with 1600+ views, can't imagine why.) The A2A cub is nice too, for a stroll through the scenery. If you have any questions or problems, (that aren't already covered in the forum) just ask. We love to solve problems. It helps everyone. It will be interesting to see your FSX screenshots. ???
PS-Thanks for the beer! ;D
-
Hey,I missed the part about buying the beer.First 8 rounds are on me,then I have to crash(bed I mean haha).Tomorrow I need to shoot a hole in one and buy another round.This place is getting better all the time.Ron
-
OK, I'm buying - Step right up to the bar at Misty's Place, Ladies and Gentlemen - Barman, bring on the virtual beer if you would be so kind...
Thanks for the welcome and aircraft insights. I'm looking for a great plane that I can spend some serious time learning.
- The A2A cub looks like it is exquisitely modeled, but is it not too slow for getting around the whole RTMM area?
- The Aerosoft beaverX looks faster and more complex, but it seems to be a port-over from their FX9-version. Does this manifest anything negative? Lovely screenshots, Jeff - particularly those using the Fed-Ex paint. Your excellent "Beaver Sots" post reads like a review - very useful.
- I looked at the advertising for the Lionheart Pacer but couldn't find a review anywhere (bad Google, bad boy ;) ).
Anyone else have any experience with either of these three aircraft?
By the way, is there any way of buying a real round - in the form of a donation - surely this wonderful site has expenses ???

I'm just a member here of several months, but I'd like to welcome the new members to RTMM. These are some wonderfully talented and gracious folks who are always willing to lend a hand when needed. And they've been known to down a pint or three on occasion! ;)

Dave--The A2A Cub is a standard setter and a joy to fly on shorter low-and-slow runs. On the other hand, the Flight Replicas Super Cub offers bush and amphibious variations and has considerably more power for maneuvering and slightly longer flights.
The new Lionheart Super Pacer PA20/22 180 is a very nice rendition with custom gauge panels, floats, bush, and tri-cycle variations, and good power. It's a joy to fly. I think Lionheart has done a great job. I do wish it had an amphibian version, however. Regardless, I find myself flying the Super Pacer a lot lately.
The Beaver has those wonderful classic looks, with decent power, load capacity, and range. But, Aerosoft's BeaverX, IMHO, is a little long-in-the-tooth. I really wish A2A would consider a remake of this classic plane.
Carenado has the Cessna 185, and I think the 206 (neither of which I have flown), but lots of people like them a lot. On my list for future purchases.
If Carenado's C-208 had an amphib model, it would be another great choice. But, alas, it doesn't.
There is a free version of the Pilatus PC-6 Porter that is quite good. Definitely worth a look.
There are numerous other very worthy bush flyers available, but the one that seldom gets any time inside my hangar is Lionheart's Quest Kodiak. This plane really can do it all. It has the power (750 hp) and speed for longer flights, tremendous load capacity (10-people plus cargo pod), and the amazing capability for landing or taking off on <700 feet. It comes in wheels and floats/amphib variations, HD textures, and of course, a Garmin G1000 triple glass cockpit. Definitely my go-to bush flyer.
Those are just a few options to consider. You will absolutely love flying any of these in the Misty Moorings. I hope to see you in the skies!
Safe flights,
Ted
-
Hello Ted
Thanks for your detailed reply. This kind of post really helps.
I have a question:
I had a look at Lionheart's Quest Kodiak and some reviews and it looks really good. Having some glass cockpit familiarity, this looks less intimidating to me than some. However, does your argument against the Aerosoft Beaver not also apply to Lionheart's Quest Kodiak? It was last updated/patched in 2009 and appears to be another FS9-to-FSX updated portover. Is the aircraft FSX quality?
How does she fly? And even more importantly, how good is it for sightseeing - (after all that's what RTMM is all about, is it not?)
Dave

We're getting off topic here. May I suggest you make a new thread or pick up a conversation on an existing thread about the planes, as this is the "Introduce yourself here" thread. Thanks. ;)

Hi guys,
Dom here. Just want to say hi. Been a fan since I purchased the original Misty Fjords for FS2004. Since then I've purchased the FS2004 and FSX version of Tongass and love it.
I joined today, really just to say thanks for all the work you guys do. I'm mostly an X-Plane user at the moment as I primarily use OSX now, but it's your scenery files and enhancements which always bring me back to FSX, so I just want to say thanks for all your hard work
The A.I shipping I downloaded today is amazing!!
Many thanks.
Dom

Thanks Dom and welcome back!

Hi,
well, I'm Rudi and stumbled some weeks ago over beaver and MD500 repaints called Misty Mooring. I liked the nice style but didn't go deeper what's behind Misty. Today I came across the paintings again and got curious what's behind this name.
I'm in some way overwhelmed from all the wonderful sceneries you've done. I installed Misty's place and like it much because I'm a great fan of the areas PNW, PFJ and Tongass and now I'm here.
Short comment to my person. I'm a retired German living in Thailand now since more then 6 years. I guess in 2004 I had the FS9 but stopped playing with it. In 2012 I saw my old Joystick and installed FSX. I've more time now and I like flying Helis in FSX but also small air-crafts like the Beaver.
Thanks
Rudi

Welcome Rudi
I'm also new here, and am still finding my way through this enormous site.
The guys (and gals?) here have really put in a huge amount of work - the site needs nearly as much exploring at the RTMM area itself.
This site is a prime example of how wonderful our hobby really is.
-
Hello Rudi,
Welcome to RTMM. Yes, exploring the forums is the best way to get started around here. If you have questions, just ask. ;) Everyone here shares that love of the Orbx fjords and the bush flying. 8)
-
Welcome Rudi! Glad you're onboard. I'm sure our resident helicopter fan who's also from Deutschland will chime in here soon.
"Hey Klaus! Come on over here and meet Rudi! He's buying the next round at Misty's Place."
Brad
-
Hi guys,
thanks a lot for the warm and friendly welcome. I feel very fine here and to read all the great information keep me busy for a long time.
I already downloaded some great sceneries and I love them all. Just did a flight to Aiken Camp with my MD500 in Misty Mooring painting and guess what - I could make the landing in front of the house! I don't know if I can do it again. ;D
Maybe I can ask my technical question here for short. I read here that one should use the old Plan-G version it would work better for our needs. I installed now both (V.2/V.3) and can't see why V.2 is better. I like V.3 much more but as a rookie I may not see the advantage of V.2 yet. Can somebody enlighten me?
Thanks a lot for the wonderful Misty website
Rudi
-
Hi Rudi,
also a big warm welcome here on RTMM!!!! :)
Great seeing an other helicopter fan found this beautiful place here.
Take all the time you need and take a look here. You will soon notice there`s a lot to discover.
The RTMM sceneries should keep you busy for quite some time, I`m sure.
Regarding your question about PlanG:
We recommend v2 because there`s google maps used for displaying the maps. We found this much superiour as the maps are very accurate. Their level of detail fit very well for vfr-flights in the misty`s region. PlanG v3 is using now OpenStreetmap data. Openstreets based maps are less accurate than the google maps charts.
A big "Prosit" from Munich, Klaus
-
Hi Klaus,
what a funny coincidence: I'm from Munich too but live now in Chiang Mai/Thailand. "Prost" :D
Well, about Plan-G V.2. I just noticed that I can't get any map on the screen because of an occurring script error. I guess I need to use V.3 and live with those maps.
About flying the Heli. I'm just a beginner with these air-crafts but it gives me a lot of thrill and fun. I'm trying hard to improve my skills. Since I've a G940 control unit it's improving a lot.
Thanks for the warm welcome and "Prost" from Thailand
Rudi
-
As Klaus already posted, PlanG v2 (latest version) provides a much better and more accurate map than v3. That's a big advantage for VFR flights.
(I you can't get the v2 map at this time with your installation you cannot compare.)
- did you install as administrator?
- you must have latest IE9 version installed!
- follow instructions on page 105 in the PlanG user manual
- reinstall DotNet4 and/or Microsoft SQL Server Compact 4.0
Dieter
-
Hi Dieter,
thanks for the hints to my problem.
Well, step by step.
- Of course did I install as admin
- I've already IE 10 and Windows 8
- The recommendation in the PlanG manual didn't fit for me and the MS website said "it's not for your system"
- I already had DotNet4 but did the MS SQL Server Compact 4.0 but nothing has changed after repair PlanG V.2
The script doesn't slow down the PC, it's a script error. I guess I'll stay with PlanG V.3. Better to have a not so good map than no map.
Anyway thanks for taking your time
Rudi

Welcome aboard RTMM Rudi,
always great to meet new folks. Glad your enjoying the scenery so far it is some wonderful work by our developers. You did not mention anything about installing all the required libraries in your introduction. Be sure and explore the site extensively and if you have not yet installed the libraries you will need those ASAP to make the scenery display at its fullest potential. Look in Misty's Place (top of page menu) and click on Object Libraries for a complete rundown.
Of course as the new guy you will have to buy the beer so everybody head to Misty's Place and belly up to the bar! ;D

When flying helis it`s important you have the right settings for your contollers in FSX. Your controller settings should be set to very sensitive (sliders all the way to the right). If not your contollers will always act with a small lagtime. helicopters must be controlled very smooth and with very small and precise contoller inputs.
If you are interested a step deeper in heli flying in FSX, you should also visit hovercontol.com. This site is exclusively for heli-pilots in flightsimming. You will find there lots of help.
Link: http://www.hovercontrol.com/ (http://www.hovercontrol.com/)
-
@Klaus
thanks for the hints. I'll try flying with most sensitive settings and feel the difference. I already knew the hover control website and like their suggestions. Their freeware heli is a wonderful piece.
@spud
Well, I already installed all the basic scenery libraries recommended here from Misty and start to enjoy the nice trips or missions. This may keep me busy for a while. ;)
The beer today is all on me, of course. ;)
Cheers
Rudi

Hi guys!
Brand new here, but quite familiar with FSX and FTX, but was looking for a "reason" to go out and explore.. I think Misty Moorings is exactly what I was looking for!
I think my libraries are all set up correctly, did a nice flight from PAKT to Misty Moorings (the ICAO for MM is escaping me right now) and was quite impressed! What a beautiful approach over the water!
Getting settled in for my first mission (or Dispatch I think you guys call them?) and I'm quite excited. I'll try to post some screenshots in the appropriate forum when I'm all done.
So far I am very impressed with the website and Misty Moorings in general, you guys sure have a lot to offer, and the attention to detail and the little stories that accompany everything are fantastic. Thank you guys for doing this!
Happy flying!
-
Hello AK416,
Welcome. Thanks for taking the time to say hi. Misty's place is PF20, and the water approach is PF21. The dispatches will take you on a tour of the cabins, as you "inspect them" and show you where they all are. Getting there is all the fun! I like the taking off and landing parts the best. ( . . . and the trickier the better for my beaver.)
;)
-
Welcome and happy to see you here. Our fanbase has been growing but we still keep it personal. And we take it personally too. And in this case, it's not a bad thing. Any help you need with our stuff and all you have to do is ask. We'll probably be able to find a resolution to the issue.
Now all you have to do is take your time, try to see the sights, read the narrative and take it all in. Oh, and buy the next round at "Misty's Place". That's a given. Right Spud? He'll be in here shortly I'm sure. Whenever another newbie shows up, Spud will belly up to the bar alongside. He's our resident whip cracker when it comes to what goes on around here and enforcing rule number one. Which is the newest member has to buy a round for everyone in "Misty's". :D
Thanks for the kind words. We appreciate it.
Brad
-
AK,
don't listen to those guys. I'm just a pussycat, but .... I will have that cold one at Misty's Place thank you.
Unless I had a few too many with Rudi I believe the Dispatches list which scenery you are required to have for each. I'd recommend doing one dispatch at a time with its associated scenery. That method will help with trouble shooting if there is a problem.
The shotgun downloading it all and installing will make it a lot harder to determine where there may be a problem. Slow and careful will always let you know there is a problem somewhere before your scenery library is loaded up with the 100+ destinations RTMM has to offer.
Welcome Aboard Mate!
8)
-
Welcome AK. Hope you have many good flights here with us. A great place to find spectacular Alaskan scenery and great guys n gals to share your experience with.
-
Thanks for the warm welcome :)
I did the first dispatch last night and was amazed! What a great time it was. It was quite nice to fly and learn some back story on the general area and specific locations. The music was a pleasant surprise as well, and worked quite well!
I have been doing the dispatches one at a time, and installing the necessary scenery as needed, and disabling the stuff I'm not using for the dispatch. I love the details like the orcas and dolphins, the diving birds and jumping fish! Admittedly, a trout gave me a good scare when landing at the first cannery, I was not expecting that haha!
This is really my first single player experience I have had aside from a few of the tutorial and default missions included with FSX. I have been a long time simmer, but only got into flight simulation about January this year. I flew briefly in FSX before moving over to Microsoft Flight and really enjoying the multiplayer aspect of flight sim. A few friends and I who enjoyed flying together eventually created a community around it, but once Microsoft ceased development, we transitioned to FSX and now have quite a popular and active community! (I wont plug the site here, but it is in my profile if curiosity gets the best of you :)) I think I may have to introduce our community to Misty Moorings, as we are all big fans of Orbx and specifically the PFJ/PNW area.
Had a fantastic time on my first dispatch last night and looking forward to starting my second here shortly. Thank you all for making this happen, I really appreciate all the time and effort you guys have put into this. What a great experience, and all for free! So far, no troubles to speak of, had to do a bit of googling to find one or two of the libraries as some of the links werent working, but really was no trouble. Everything seems to work fine as long as you read the instructions first! ;)
Thanks again everyone, sorry for the long winded post, I'll try to be more brief next time. Happy flying!
-
Thanks for the kind words about the missions. I'll keep making more, then! ;D (I'm working on #4 now) I enjoy making them, and it really shows me the "lay of the land". Be sure to install Xavier's new Yes Bay Lodge before flying dispatch 2. ;)
ps - I really enjoyed reading your "long winded post". Keep it up. ;)
-
Hi ak416,
a big warm welcome here on RTMM from me, too!
stay here and look around. You will find here ton`s of great goodies for this beautiful region in FSX!
you will soon notice all the stuff will keep you busy for quite a time..... :)
Sounds great about your community. They are all very welcome at any time!
New Guys....new beer!!!!!!! :D :D :D
-
Hi guys,
just to finish what I said about the problem with PlanG V.2. Now I installed it on my old laptop with XP SP3 and it works fine. I connect with WiFi to FSX and can watch it beside flying. Now I see and agree that the Google maps are more accurate in detail.
Thanks
Rudi
-
That's great news Rudi! Glad to hear you've found a solution. Maybe that could be added in a FAQ section for PlanG for others as well.
-
Salut everyone!
I am Peter Legere from Squamish. I fly FSX, ROF, and IL-2. I belong to the WingWalkers (virtual) Combat Squadron, the oldest virtual squadron in Cyberspace. I live at the head of Howe Sound, halfway between Vancouver and Whistler.
I heard about this place this afternoon from a bunch of folks from Europe I met and flew with this afternoon. I'm gonna have a look around now, and report back to the Squad.
-
Welcome Peter,
And hello, from Bellingham, Washington. You're just across the border from me. Glad to have you here. Let us know if you need any help. ;)
-
Welcome aboard RTMM. As Jeff says don't be shy about asking questions the guys are all great about helping if they can. One thing to do is read up on the site there are many things offered to help you get started foremost among them is obtaining all the required scenery library files etc. They are the life blood of RTMM and should be your first task.
Now of course you know as the new guy you buy the beer at Misty's Place? See ya next to the fire.

Hi Peter!
Welcome here on RTMM!! Nice to meet you. Great You found your way to Misty`s.

Good day,
Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Jordan, I am 25 years old, I have my CPL(H) and I am currently flying in RL out of Fort Nelson,BC CYYE. I have been playing FS since I was about 10 with CFS and FS98.
I have many payware a/c such as most of the PMDG and the Cerasim helicopters.
I found this website by accident today while looking on Vatsim and Northern Air Charter. Am I ever happy I found this! The scenery addons that your community has produced look amazing! I just bought Acceleration when I read on the website that it is a requirement, since I only have the regular FSX right now.
Looking forward to picking up all of the required ORBX and Tongass Fjords then head up to those mountain pads and Remote cabins!
In advance, thank you to all who have made these amazing addons.
Jordan
-
Welcome Jordan,
I believe you will find a great group here at RTMM. If you like low, slow, in the trees flying you have found the right place. Take some time and explore the site, you will be surprised at the vast amount of information available besides the scenery. Now that SAK has been released by ORBX you will want to get that as well. RTMM is already at work on scenery for that region. We work PNW, and SAK by ORBX as well as Tongass Fjords X and they all fit together like a glove.
Oh, just in case you didn't know the new guy buys the beer so meet us at the bar at Misty's Place ASAP. ;)

Welcome to RTMM Jordan. You're gonna love it here. ;)
-
As you've already seen, we have a keen affection for the "FNG" at "Misty's Place". Also, to add to what Spud said, our creme of the crop region is "Pacific Fjords" by ORBX/FTX. That's our bread and butter area for sure. We're just now beginning our exploration into SAK along with everybody else.
Klaus is our resident staff "Whirlybird" fan and I'm sure you'll get some input from him on where to fly choppers at in our scenery addons.
Have fun and welcome to RTMM
Brad

Spud, Jeff and Brad,
Thank you for the warm welcome. I will be sure to contact Klaus to find the best places to fly my beloved hanger of Bells.
Looking forward to see you guys around the lakes and rivers.
Jordan

Hi Jordan,
also a big warm welcome on RTMM.
Great, we have a helicopter Pilot now in our community!
Just look around here on RTMM Site, you will found lots of interesting stuff here.
Check your PM! ;)
Klaus
-
Welcome Peter and Jordan,
There is a lot happenng at RTMM and plenty of scenery to see. With the release of SAK, the staff is hard at work on things to come for that area, but for now there are many, many hours of flying ahead of you just to see the scenerying the Pacific Fjords offers not to mention Tongass.
Have fun!

Hi, I'm peebee (Phil). I've just signed up. I've been flight simming for quite a few years now but only really got into bush flying when I installed Orbx PNW.
Regards peebee

Peebee (Phil),
welcome aboard RTMM you have found one of the best 'homes' for low n' slow in the bush for FSX scenery possible. We are continually working on more and better scenery for our 'core areas', PFJ, SAK and Tongass Fjords X. Take your time and browse the site and discover all RTMM has to offer. Be sure and download and install the various scenery object libraries that the scenery requires to display properly so your experience will be successful. Great group of people that are helpful and friendly, always willing to help if you have a question or problem. Just keep it high enough to not scare the wildlife! ;D
Oh and lest we forget, being the "New Guy" you will have to meet at the bar at Misty's Place to buy the beer! ::)

Hi Peebee,
Welcome to RTMM. This is a very friendly place so if you have any questions just ask. Have fun!

Hi Peebee !
Pleased to welcome you at RTMM !
The land of The Misty's Bar, rough landings and cold beers !
:) Cheers,
Xavier

Hi Peebee,
welcome here on RTMM!!! :)
-
Hello guys!
I'm brand new here, have been 'simmering' since a year now, so i do have not so much experience. But i managed to install all the recommended things, puuuuh, hard work. But in return i had the best flight ever(Dispatch#2). Thank you so much, i am very impressed with the website. Best regards from Germany, Konrad
-
Welcome Konrad. And thank you for taking the time to install the object libraries and such. Yes it's a painstaking process but now, you can fly to anyplace we've ever done and see it as we designed it. That's worth it I think.
So enjoy your time at RTMM and be sure to stop by Misty's Place and do what all FNG's have to do, buy everybody a beer!
(I wish Misty's really existed, because I'd never have to pay for a drink again!)
Brad
-
Hi Konrad,
nice to meet you here at RTMM.... O.k., I´ll take a cold beer ...Prosit ;)
Just look aroung here and feel free asking if you need help.
You will see there are tons of stuff to discover....So take some time for it.
Have fun and also best regards from Germany!
-
Welcome aboard RTMM Konrad, good to see you have a handle on getting everything needed to enjoy the wonderful scenery available for RTMM.
Wow, Jordan, Peter, Peebee and Konrad are going to make the bar at Misty's Place really jump. Saddle up boys and girls and grab a free brew on the 'newbies'!

-
Hello Konrad,
Welcome to RTMM. Glad to have you here. Hope to see you around the forum from time to time. Post pics of your adventures. Thanks for flying dispatch #2. I really enjoyed making that into a mission. ;) There are many more dispatches waiting to be flown. 8)

Hi Konrad,
Welcome. As you can see we are a friendly bunch. Feel free to ask for help whenever you might need it and don't forget to share pics when you can. Have fun!

Hi Konrad,
Servus...........Hey, that`s pretty cool !!!! You live in the same town as I do! ;)

Wow, wow, wow, just did my second flight (Trip Ticket Owikeno Lake Area), you do a fantastic work guys, i will never go back to Germany!!! :D
-
Hi I'm John, just love this site and hope that I will be able to spend a lot of my time here.
I'm a P3D user and would like to say that so far everything (Tongass Fjords, 9 of the 12 objects) work very well
using the Estonia migration tool. I might need some help to find the last 3:-)
I have Orbx PNW,PNJ and SAK so will be busy exploring everything that Return to Misty Mooring has to offer. Well done everyone involved in making such a superb site.
Cheers
John
-
John,
welcome to RTMM, great group here I think you will find. As far as 9 of the 12 objects working, I assume your speaking about the scenery tester at Annette Island. What are the 3 not working for you? Do you have Tongass Fjords X scenery from Silver Cloud Publishing? That is a must have because it fills in the gap between PNW and SAK along the coastline. The RTMM scenery uses objects from TFJ X libraries for some of the scenery we do. Acceleration also has library objects that RTMM uses so that should be added to FTX if you do not have it.
Now all that boring stuff out of the way the gang will meet you at Misty's Place bar so as the new guy you can buy the beer! ;D :D ;)
8)
-
Hi Spud, thanks for the warm welcome, if we are ever able to meet then I would love to buy you a drink as the new boy:-)
Yes I have the wonderful Tongass Fjords X so I have so much to explore. Just installed the Toongass Fjords AI shipping package which is awesome.
The 3 objects that I am having difficulty obtaining are nos. 4, 9, and 11
-
John,
I assume you did the downloads and installed the libraries as instructed in the Scenery Object Tester Section for those three numbers. Can you verify that those 3 libraries......OZX, Woody's EZ Rocks, Boulders and Snowdrifts and RWY12....are indeed entries in you Scenery Library.
The entries in you scenery library should be something like....... OZx_NA, woody's EZ_rocks_Boulders_snowdrifts, Rwy12 Library.
It depends exactly on what you named the folder with the Scenery and Texutre folders in it. I tend to use the default names that download.
Rod
-
Hi Rod
Thank you for your response. Yes I have the Scenery Object Tester installed. I did not find it too difficult with 9 of the objects but my problem with the remaining 3 is what to download from the sites which are shown.
With object 4, the building, when I go to the OZx site indicated I just cannot find it! what is the file/name I am looking for?
With object 9 the EZ-Scenery Instructions are for FS9, do I ignore them and install it as FSX, actually P3D for me?
With object 11 when I locate this is says that it is for FS2004, is that the correct file to use, see http://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/fslib.php?searchid=8568443?
John
-
John,
yes the rwy12_1.zip says it is for FS2004 and so does the EZ-Scenery file but the objects all work with FSX as well. Use caution though with the install of ez_1.zip here is a cut n' paste from one of our read me first files about installing it:
"2. The ez_1.zip file, once it's unzipped, will give you an executable file for installation.
3. MOST IMPORTANT STEP!!!! Install the files via the .exe file to a TEMP folder!! NOT DIRECTLY INTO FSX!!!! This installer was made for FS9 and might cause issues to FSX if you install it there by default! (We're not 100 % sure if it will, but it wasn't made for FSX so we avoided that and created a temporary folder for this file to install the scenery library to first.
4. The result will be a folder named "Addon Scenery". Inside of this folder is a folder named "EZ Scenery Library".
5. Take the new folder "EZ Scenery Library" and make sure that it also includes it's three sub-folders, (new-mdl, scenery, texture) and install that into your FSX "Addon Scenery" library and then don't forget to activate it in FSX as the normal scenery file INSTALLATION steps in the readme.txt show you."
FS9 (FS2004) scenery objects work fine in FSX. The one thing with FS9 files are AI files. If you install FS9 AI files into FSX they will prevent FSX AI files from working. There is a program that will convert these FS9 AI files in your FSX installation and fix things just fine if you accidentally do ever install FS9 AI files in FSX.
Now the OZx libraries are hard to find due to 'stinkin' thinkin' at the OZx site. Here is what to do to get the files.
1. Click the link on the Object Libraries page which takes you to the OZx site.
2. Click the green Download button at the top of the page.
3. Click on the black Agree & Download button.
4. The resulting screen has 7 files that can be downloaded but you only need two of them.
5. Download OZx_Libraries_1.0_install.zip
6. Download OZx_LIB_v1.1.zip
7. Install these two libraries into FSX.
8. Silently cuss under your breath about OZx making it so durn hard to figure out how to get the files!!!
Enjoy the other three objects in the Scenery Tester and in RTMM scenery.

Thanks for the advice Spud, I will start hunting the last 3 down and let you know how I get on.
John
-
Finally I have the last 3 objects installed thanks to you Spud so I am "good to go!". At last I can get back to a bit to flight simming ;)
Thanks again for such super support.

No worries John it just what we do here at RTMM if we can.
Glad your all sorted now.

I tried one or two of your sceneries just to see what was what and WOW!! Now I've downloaded every RTMM scenery I can get my hands on and having a total blast. (Still have a lot to install yet. Having too much fun exploring!) Your sceneries, web page, layout, everything you guys provide is top notch and fantastic. I felt that I just had to donate a few dollars in appreciation, which I've never done at any other website before. I'll probably spend the rest of my life tooling around in my Beaver exploring all of the places you have created. Keep up the fantastic work and thanks a whole lot! Now back to the cockpit for more seat time.

Welcome aboard Steve. Now head on over to "Misty's Place" and get that bar tab all set up 'cause you get to buy the next round being the new guy.
Seriously, we appreciate all your support and hope you enjoy all that we have to offer. Which is considerable.

Welcome aboard RTMM Steve,
if you have any questions just ask and one of the folk 'round here' will have an answer most likely. See ya at Misty's Bar! :o

Hi Steve,
Welcome to RTMM. We are a fun group and are always willing to try to answer questions when they come up. Feel free to ask if you have any issues with our scenery.
Enjoy!
Rod
-
Steve...welcome. Keep us posted the kinds of things you are enjoying, the parts you have most fun with, and little things we could do to make it easier for someone new to RTMM. Feel free to start a thread in this at Misty's Place if you like. Those of us who have worked with this from the beginning sometimes forget how daunting this process can be for a newcomer. Welcome and enjoy!

Greetings!
Just discovered RTMM earlier today and decided to register while waiting for the Flight Replicas Super Cub package to download. I've seen references to this site and Tongass in many other forum posts and reviews but never checked it all out until now. Very fascinating!
I'm looking forward to learning more. Recently built a new system with FSX in mind, added FS Genesis, UTX, GEX, REX, as well as Orbx PNW and CRM. Also just loaded Plan-G for the first time. Looks like I'm gonna' have to get PBF and Tongass! I think this will all keep me pretty busy until, say, 2015?
Pretty impressive site here. Lots to learn!
Bruce
-
Welcome aboard RTMM Bruce. Low and slow is the mantra here and I think you'll like what you find. Be sure and download and install the required libraries first because they are the key for seeing the scenery in all its splendor.
Be sure and take some time and explore the whole site because there is so much information and content it will take some tome to absorb it all.
Now the gang will meet ya at Misty's Bar for that beer the new guy has to buy! ::)
8)
-
Hi Bruce ... well, it's about time you showed up, we kept laying hints for you on the other forums :-) Seriously, I'm sure you'll have a good time here with us. There is a lot of depth to this site and it can get frustrating. The most difficult part is getting all the object libraries downloaded and installed (as Spud so deftly points out). But once that is done and you start flying the area, we hope you will be amazed. We have a lot of fun putting this together for the community ... if you run into a problem (and odds are you will because of the complexity) ... just drop by here and we'll be very quick in giving you a hand. Don't fight the frustration, answers can come quickly from the RTMM forum ... no such thing as a silly question.
Doug
-
Hi Bruce,
welcome here on RTMM.....have fun discovering all the goodies provided here.
I´m sure you will like it, and there are tons of stuff to find.
-
Welcome from me as well Bruce! Make mine a Ginger Ale. :-) Lot's to explore here so take your time and enjoy each piece. My all time favorite is just a short hop from Misty's Place to Aikens Creek. Very tricky landing, but great fishing!
-
Hi Bruce,
Welcome to RTMM. There is a lot to see so take your time. If you have any questions, don't hesitate too ask. We are a friendly bunch.
Rod
-
Thank you for the welcomes!
So yes, I do have a beginner's question: Should I first purchase and install Pacific Blue Fjords before any of the required object libraries, or does it not matter the order I do these installs?
-
Hello Bruce,
Feel free to start a thread in the appropriate section for the topic you're asking about.
And . . . welcome to RTMM.
(I think installing the Orbx PFJ first is a good starting point. Laying down the carpet, so to speak, before bringing in the furniture. ;) )
-
Hi All, just checking in. It was from 'Highground's' constant nagging that I showed up here, so you can all blame him for this.
I live in Syracuse, NY and just getting re-started in flying (been sidetracked with trains/ships and radio things). ORBX is on order
and should be here Saturday (at least that's what they rumor says).
Jim
-
Hello Jim,
Welcome to RTMM. 8)
Highground,
Thanks for the nagging. ;D
-
.
Shamus, you made it, at long last! Good to "see" your ugly mug!
As you'll soon discover, there are many very nice people around here in RTMM-Land, as well as no shortage of astonishing talent. About the only advice I can proffer is to start small and go slowly; don't be in a hurry to "get it all". You'll see.
-
Hey Jim,
welcome aboard RTMM. As already said pretty nice group around here. Any questions just ask somebody will have an answer. Like Highground says it is like eating an elephant ya gotta do it one bite at a time. One exception to that is the required libraries those you need to get them all as the first thing you do so the scenery will show up like it is supposed to.
Now for the really important information for new guys. You have to buy the beer at Misty's Place bar. Belly up boys and girls Jim is buying.
8)
-
Hi Jim,
Welcome Aboard! You are going to love ORBX scenery and the RTMM addons just make it better! Feel free to ask any questions you might have as you get started with this area of scenery. We will try to help with whatever you need! Take it slow and enjoy it!
Rod
-
Thanks all for the greetings, and I do have a question, but will post it in the appropriate section. Been a long time since I've flown, and it's nice to get 'back in the saddle'.

Hi Jim,
a big warm welcome here on RTMM here from me, too!!!
Please note: I´ll take a nice cold beer at misty`s bar .......... ;D

Hi I am Mark from the UK. I have been flying Misty's for a good while. I even have a link on the fs9 site www.beaverair.net . Glad to be back and now on FSX and FSEconomy where Beaver Air Charter is proud to be flying around the Misty Moorings scenery while earing money. Beavers are our Aircraft throughout. Well done Misty Moorings for your superb site.
Kind Regards
Mark
-
Hi Mark,
Welcome back! I just took a look at the Beaver Air site....a very well done site! If you guys are all from the Southwest corner of England, you must be awfully cold in Alaska. ;D
I am wondering if you are going to open up a base further North now with ORBX SAK out. I am sure FlyUK is going in to PANC or maybe PAMR. There is a lot going on in SAK so get ready.
Rod
-
Thank you Rod for the Heads Up. Yes, we are a small group that love VFR and the Alaskan views. The two main pilots are in fact Training Instructors for Fly Uk. My friend is the Cargo Operations Manager for the VA & we have a 6 leg Cargo route coming in to PAKT with a PMDG 747 for Beaver Air to take onto Yes Bay Lodge, Aiken Creek, Fleets Bay etc etc etc.
-
Hi Mark,
welcome back here on RTMM!!
you did build up a nice web-site for your VA. Great Job!
And I noticed, you :) :) :) also offer helicopter tours....
-
Good day to all,
I am Gert from the Netherlands. I've discovered pacific fjordS and Misty's moorings a short while ago.
I installed all the libraries and made my first flight from PAKT to Misty's Place.
Cloud at 1000 feet and a strong se breeze.
This is flying as it should be, really immersive and rewarding!
I want to say thank you to everybody who has contributed to make this possible, all the hours of developing the nice spots to visit etc etc etc.
I will visit the forum quite often, and fly with pleasure!

Welcome Gert57,
Make yourself at home, and read, read, read. And then go out and enjoy the beautiful virtual scenery of the Pacific Northwest. 8)
. . . and, thanks in advance for the virtual beer Spud will be telling you about. I was getting kinda thirsty.

HI Gert57,
welcome on RTMM!!!

Hi Gert,
Welcome to RTMM. There is a lot to see and do. If you have any questions feel free to ask and we will try to answer or help as best we can. We are a friendly group.
Have fun!
Rod

Hello Jim,
We are pleased to welcome you at RTMM. This is a nice idea to go back at flight sim ops, and to visit us.
Do you like to flight charters to all the USFS cabins, boat traffic survey, ice stations resupply, or bush flying, you will find all of these here.
Now, time for a beer ! Welcome at Misty's Place !
Xavier
-
Welcome aboard RTMM. As you have already discovered friendly bunch 'round here'. The site is extensive and loaded with great information and features take your time and browse everything. First order of business to enjoy RTMM is to get All of the libraries needed to see everything in living color so to speak. That will take a bit of effort and time of course but it is the starting point to the "experience" of RTMM.
Of course as already mentioned you will need some 'break time' so we will all meet you at Misty's Bar so you can buy the traditional new guy beers for everybody!
8)
-
Well, thank you all for the kind welcome.
I will try to frequent Misty's bar and join the good life.
Maybe it is better to splash some dough on the server upkeep??
Better than alcoholic beverages. They seem to evaporate into thin air or befog the keen airman's eyes.... ;D
-
Welcome Gert. Any donations are of course most welcome. Please know that we very much appreciate your help keeping us up and running.
Brad

Hello there to all from Johannesburg South Africa.
Found your site from a PC Pilot mag and what an absolute pleasure it has been, not only using the site, but the fast downloading and installations. The cherry on top is the delight at 'seeing' the various places in the Alaska area as I'm one who was born with travel feet - the love of visiting far away places. Sadly it has become out of reach to continue that sort of thing due to horrendous airfares. My thank you to the guys who put the scenery together and made it such a pleasure to fly around in what was rather a bleak Microsoft area. Tony
-
Hi Tony,
welcome here on RTMM! Enjoy your stay here...take some time looking around, and you will find lots of stuff here for the Misty`s Region. Have fun!!!!
-
Welcome from a fellow newbie to the group Tony! :)
-
Welcome and please take your time. "Look around... Choose your own ground."
Brad
-
Welcome aboard RTMM Tony,
as you can see we are a friendly bunch of flying nuts! I thing you will find more here than most sites on the web. We are proud of what the group has become and continues to be. Any questions, just ask.
Oh yeah, of course being the newbie you will have to set up the bar at Misty's Place for free beer for everybody.

Greetings from Berlin Germany, although I am from NYC :)
Love this website and all the work that has been put into it.
I have been flying mostly airlines in MSFS for as long as I can remember, but this place has revived the fun in GA and Bush flying.
Thanks!
-
Hey,...new blood! Welcome to RTMM. Low, slow and "in" the scenery is our mission. Good bunch of folks here that are helpful and friendly. Need any questions answered just ask. Be sure and obtain all the libraries first because that is the starting point for all the great locations offered in the scenery download section. Without the libraries you will not see it all.
So, Berlin huh? That means you should know beer which, as the new guy, you will have to meet us in the bar at Misty's Place and treat everyone.
The beer is on mmendez!
8)
-
Welcome Tony and mmendez,
As you can see, this is a very friendly place. Sit back and enjoy visiting some very beautiful places (and, as Fishbone points out...many more to come). Don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions or need any help.

Hello MMendez and Tony,
Welcome to RTMM from me too. Be sure to read through the forums, as many questions have been answered already, and the solutions preserved for all time. ;) Thanks for the beers. 8)

Haha thanks all.
Although I personally like the brews in BC better than in Germany. I'll just bring both ;)

Throw in a case of Bunnahabhain for myself if you don't mind

Hi everyone. Found this place courtesy of Jon H. I am just rekindling Flight Simming after a 2 year absence. This looks like something I have wanted for a long time. Have lots of files to install, yet, before I actually fly, but I am on my way.........cheers Al Pelletier
-
Hi Al!
A big welcome here on RTMM! It´s so good you found your way to our virtual home...because I´m so thursty for a good cold virtual beer...and yes, It´s up to you providing this stuff for us!!! :D ;)
Be sure to install all the needed libraries. For this read carefully the instructions on the web-page. If you have questions feel free asking....
-
Thank you so much. I have made a check list and I am in the process of installing everything. As for the cold beer, I see that you live in Munich, Germany. Can't think of a better place for a good cold beer on the planet ;)

Hi there, Danny!
Good to see you made the scene, Al!
Welcome to you both. It's a marvelous place to hang your hat.
See you around,

Welcome Al & Danny, you'll get settled in, in no time. Springtime in Southern Alaska is a beehive of activity.
Hey Jim, with over 50 posts, you can't be calling yourself a newbie for much longer. ;D
Thanks Jon, for the recruitment. Good work. Keep it up. ;D
-
Al, Danny,
welcome to this place guys! As others have already mentioned take your time, read and enjoy RTMM. The learning curve starts out abruptly with the libraries but after that is all low, slow and beautiful adventures flying BC and Alaska. Don't forget to add TongassX and if you'll search the forums a bit there is a discount on its purchase for RTMM members. It fills in a gap between ORBX PFJ and SAK plus being developed by Hoger Sandmann and Bill Womack is every bit as good as the ORBX scenery.
Now, gotta go find that steak truck and beer on the barbie!
8)
-
Thanks for the warm welcome! :)
-
Yay! More Newbies!! :o (Burp)
-
Welcome Al and Danny,
As you're already sensing, this is the finest place on the planet for bush flying "low and slow". The staff here is dedicated and selfless and a greater bunch of guys and gals you'd be hard pressed to meet anywhere.
If ever you have questions about a scenery package, mission, or who's supplying the next round, just ask. The response will be quick. I don't think these guys ever sleep! ;)
We're glad you found us. Happy flying!

Hi Al & Danny,
Welcome! This is the place to be. Lot's to do. RTMM really expands the fun factor in the PFJ/SAK/Tongass world. Take it slow and enjoy! Feel free to ask any quesions if you have them. The staff here is pretty responsive and very helpful.

Hello Everyone,
My name is Jerry and I've been flying computer sims since the early 1980's. It all started for me on the Commodore 64 and WOW have things changed.
I also blog about my flight sim activities from time to time and just recently launched a VA to focus on returning FUN back to the hobby of flight sim with a focus on bush flying. Looking forward to exploring more of RTMM.
Jerry
-
Hello Jerry and welcome to RTMM. I hope you'll get settled in fine, and find everything you're looking for here in Misty's Place. We always remind newcomers to read, read, read. The forums are a wealth of information if you dig it out. We also like to help if we can, so don't be shy.
Your VA sounds interesting, and I am sure to give it a whirl, as I did with the previous VNAC. (r.i.p. vnac :'( ) Good luck, and if you feel like buying a truck and feeling the wind in your hair, let us know. OK. ;D
Thanks in advance, for the round of beers. I like hefe weizen. ;D
Happy Memorial Day weekend.
-
Welcome to the group Jerry....I also started on the C-64...and you're right....BIG difference!!
Jim
-
Hi Jerry,
welcome to RTMM and the gang is already gathering at Misty's Place awaiting your arrival with the beer! C-64 type hey. Yep flight simulator was the first commercial software I ever purchased when I got my Commodore. I actually started with a Timex Sinclair 1000 but no FS for that box was around then.
8)
-
Welcome, Jerry!
Your VA sounds quite interesting. I took a quick look at the site and it looks good. RTMM is a great place to get little scenery addons as well as some bigger ones to enhance your enjoyment of SE Alaska and the adjoing B.C. areas. Have fun and don't hesitate to ask if you have any quesitons.
Rod
-
Hi Jerry,
a big welcome here on RTMM from me, too.
Your VA sounds very interesting. As you already noticed we miss vNAC a lot. So I´d like giving your vAL a try if there are helicopters in your fleet. As you can see on my insignia, the whirlybirds are my passion flying in FSX..... :)
And yes, I also like Hefe Weizen (or Weißbier as we call it in Bavaria). It is said, in Munich we drink Weißbier instead of eating bread..... ;D ;D ;D
-
It is said, in Munich we drink Weißbier instead of eating bread.....
not INSTEAD OF? You mean "while" :o ;D Just kidding.
I lived in Aschaffenburg for two years, in 1985-1987. I miss it. :'(

Hi Klaus,
I sent you a PM to get an understanding of the type of helicopters you were flying with vNAC. I'd be happy to include helicopters at vAL.

Hello, I'm Casey. FSX is my number one hobby. I enjoy finding and combining sceneries to get the most realistic flight sim possible. I was so happy when I came upon your site. I cannot wait to add these sceneries and fly through them. Thank you for helping bring our sim alive.
-
Hello Casey,
Welcome to RTMM. Hopefully you've been reading your way through the forum already. There's a couple of years of knowledge tied up in those threads by now. And we'll be happy to help when you have question, or a problem.

Hi Casey,
Like Jeff said....WELCOME! Hope you find many hours of enjoyment here at RTMM. There is so much to explore. Take your time, enjoy the ride.
-
Thank you jeff3163 and Dragnhorn. Loving the community already! I will certainly take my time and read on through. Looking forward to seeing all that you both already know and love. Thanks for the friendly welcome. Much appreciated!
-
Hi Casey,
Let me add my welcome too! I think you will find this is a very friendly place. Take your time and enjoy the ride! Feel free to ask any questions that you have as we are a pretty responsive group.
Rod

Casey,
welcome aboard RTMM, remember the newbie has to buy the beer so the gang will gather at Misty's Place for the party. Seriously, reading the site is the best advice for everybody because there is just so much available here that jumping into the middle will only confuse you for sure.
Starting place for downloads is ALWAYS the necessary libraries as everything is based on those files to display the outstanding scenery RTMM has developed for the community.
Have fun, ask questions and see ya at Misty's!

Greetings gentlemen,
It's nice to finally sign-up here. I primarily fly rotorcraft and occasionally GA fixed wing and now also becoming more interested in amphibians/float planes.
Your site is simply impressive and awesome! Probably one of the best flight sim sites I came across recently. Hoping for years of exciting adventures, discoveries and better appreciation of the scenic beauty of your covered regions through aviation and navigation in the virtual world.
Kudos for the great work and always keep the bar high in making the experience "as real as it gets"! 8)
Bravo Zulu,
Trex3D
-
Welcome Trex. Speaking of keeping the bar high, the new guy has to buy a round of ol Moose Drool for the rest of us. ;D Pull up a chair and immerse yourself in all the goodness of RTMM as there is a LOT to explore. Take your time to get all the required libraries installed first, then add sceneries a few at a time so you can enjoy the adventure of getting from here to there. There are a group of sceneries called "Legacy" that are a good starter for explorations. I know you'll enjoy your stay here and flying floats into remote areas will become an addiction. 8)
-
Hi Trex3D,
Welcome to RTMM. I think you will find this is a very friendly place. Also, an easy place to ask questions. Take your time and enjoy the ride.

Hi Trex3D,
welcome aboard here on RTMM!
-
Trex3D,
welcome to RTMM, I see the important things have been covered: 1) get the libraries first, 2) buy the beer at Mysty's Place 3) Have fun from 'here to there'!
Any questions just jump in and ask.
8)
-
Thanks for your welcoming remarks guys! It's well appreciated. I would certainly visit Misty's Place more often-better if there is a designated/marked helipad whether on the ground or raised or floating anywhere nearby just in case Misty's airfield is packed with parked amphibians or wheeled regulars on any busy day so I can also land any of my helos and maybe take some locals or visitors for a free quick tour around the area ;D
By the way, congrats for a very extensive collection of sceneries and other goodies to make the experience here more immersive!
-
Trex3D,
nice insignia you have! Great, we have a new heliguy here.
While there`s no specified helipad at Misty`s place at the Moment, there`s always a place for a helo Setting the skids on the ground.... :)
RTMM offers lots of sceneries with helipads included. Just a few examples, try CIRP-Bases, Owikeno Lake area, Doug`s Outfitters and much more....you will find really great places for your helos here. Just take some time and enjoy...
-
Hi Trex3D, Welcome to RTMM.
Jerry
-
Welcome to the group! Nice bunch here ;D
-
Yeah, sounds like a nice bunch considering the number of welcomes already :) Thanks again to the recent welcomers! Also to Klaus and Spud for the quick tips.
(EDITED: Off-topic exported to appropriate Misty's forum thread)
By the way, could anyone direct me to where I could find AI flight or sailing schedules, if any, for both RTMM and CIRP sceneries (except the AI shipping project which I haven't installed yet)?
Thanks again.
-
Hello Trex3D, and welcome to RTMM from me too. We'll get you all squared away on the AI traffic, and boating, and helipads, and whatever else you need. No sweat. We're just having fun here. 8)

Hello Everyone,
I'm a long time flight simmer, but a low-no time bush pilot! Found this site through Jerry Taylor's Virtual Air Logistics organization which I also recently joined. Looking forward to trying this Alaska flying on for size. Thanks to all who have contributed so much for those of us who love flight simulation!
Larry
-
Hi Larry and welcome to "low and slow" RTMM! Yes it a different kind of flying and in a beautiful area of our world. I started the old Misty Moorings site 10 years ago because I went up there and saw it first hand...and wanted to go back every day! So this was the next best way to visit and enjoy it. We get so used to the structure of flying in the real world...schedules, altitudes, airways, angels...at RTMM, we kind of toss all that off and just fly. Remember Jonathan Livingston Seagull? (Great little book). We are sort of leaving the "breakfast flock" behind and flying for the love if it rather than the necessity. Hope you enjoy this new FSX environment as much as we do. Welcome aboard. Enjoy the journey.
Doug
-
Welcome! I couldn't have said it any better as Doug just nailed it describing why we're here. As we always tell everyone, start with the object libraries and install those first.
http://return.mistymoorings.com/object_libraries/index.php
This takes up the most time during your early introduction to RTMM and can be confusing. We're here to help so just ask if you find something out of whack.
Once you think you have the object libraries all installed, verify that using our library object tester scenery. It's on the same page but a little bit down the scroll bar.
After that, I'd get the Legacy Collection of our scenery, install that and then take off, fly to Misty's Place and take care of that first round of drinks!
See you and have fun,
Brad
-
Welcome Larry! It's party time again at Misty's ;D

Welcome Larry. They're a nice bunch of fliers here.
I'm not; I'm the grumpy one ;)

Hi everyone, I'm Gerald from the Melbourne FL area. I have been flight simming since FS 4 in the late 80's. Have always been fond of Alaska and Alaska flying, especially the PAJN-PAKT area and love the "low and slow" bush flying so TFX and SAK are my favorite areas. RTTM is a great site and I appreciate all that everyone does for us!
Hats off to Dan for getting me up and running on a weekend, sorting out an activation problem. Great customer service, thank you!
Looking forward to many years of Misty's!
Gerald

Welcome to RTMM Gerald & Larry,
You guys won't find any other FS site that makes virtual bush flying "as real as it can get" plus the top notch sceneries, addons and friendly bunch of guys in here. Don't forget to drop-by at RTMM's homebase Misty's Place (PF20) and try their halibut or poached salmon which simply are out of this world :P
Also, don't forget to chip in or donate at least a buck (better if more) when you pay for your bill at Misty's Bar & Grill. We are raising funds for a new helipad construction project for whirlybird bush or tour pilots who visit Misty's Place...Cash is better but debit or credit cards will do. ;D
-
Welcome Larry and Gerald,
man o' man gettin a pair at a time nowadays. Misty's Place is gonna be jumpin tonight! Of course you already have the word on installing the libraries first which is the key to everything RTMM. There is so many places to fly to and experience the adventure of low n' slow exploration don't try and get it all at once or you'll never get a chance to fly. Grab a location or two install it in the sim and then take the time to 'get into the scenery' and find these great little fields and lakes. There not all in the 'Go to Airport' function of FSX you will have to use the flight plans/ maps that come with the scenery to visit the bush. Oh and we don't mind if you have to 'use the bush' (or behind it) while visiting either!

Hi Larry & Gerald,
Welcome to RTMM! This is a great place to hangout and do some low and slow flying. If you have any questions or need help don't hesitate to ask. We are a very friendly bunch. Have fun!

Hello to Everyone. I love this site. I've just downloaded al the addons and the first trips with my Seebee show a wonderful place. At my home, in Firenze, we dream to have an Alaskan Holiday! Thanks to be!!
-
Monk, Larry and Gerald.........WELCOME! The guys have tipped you off on how to proceed with installations so I won't bore you with all that. I will, however, be stopping my Misty's Place for a few brews on the new guys tonight! ;D
-
Welcome to RTMM Flyingmonk,
great group here and if you have any questions about RTMM be sure and ask. See you at Misty's Place so you can buy a round of beer for the bunch!! ::)

Hi Gerald and flyngmonk!
A big warm welcome here on RTMM from me, too. Have fun !!!
And visit Misty`s Bar for buying the round of beer ...... ;D ;)
-
Welcome Gerald and FlyingMonk ...
Yeah, Dan sits there in the background and doesn't say much, but when "it" hits the fan, he is the one bailing us out (me more than anyone trying to run the website!). So welcome to BOTH of you ... glad to have you aboard. If you see something "out of place" ... let us know. We are in no way a "professional" web site ... just a bunch of amateurs (but getting better and smarter all the time).
Best - Doug
PS...(And thanks Dan!!! ... again!)

Welcome to RTMM flyngmonk and gsand!
If bush is your thing, you are going to have a great time here... See you over at Misty's for a Frosty! :)

A warm welcome to all the new folks...been swamped, so if I'm late.....that's my excuse.
Good group here.
Jim
-
Hello all!
I'm a newcomer here as well - well, as far as posting goes. I discovered this place some time back, and have been so busy burning virtual 100LL that I never got around to introducing myself.
I've been flight simming off and on since the original flight simulator, and enjoy a wide variety of aircraft and flying types. However, bush flying has definitely become my favorite since RTMM and ORBX. You guys have created a wonderful little slice of the world here at RTMM, along with an entire culture that goes beyond just buildings, and all for FREE! My hat's off to you.
I'm not a big poster, but I read the forums via RSS, and will occasionally come up with an original thought. In any event, thanks for all THIS, and keep up the good work!
-
Good morning Robert,
bet you thought by hanging around the back you would be spared having to buy the beer. OOOHHH no ya don't. But right now you do have a choice. The regular hang out is Misty's Place but in celebration of the Halibut Cove release we can meet you at the Saltry so you can buy the gang some beer.
Seriously though welcome to the low n' slow world of RTMM. Glad your enjoying the efforts of group and remember to wipe the oil off the cowling now and then come and see us again.

Yes, same good welcome from me Robert. Better make mine a Root Beer! Cheers

Hi everyone
I'm afraid I've been a bit lapse in completing the introduction page.. had a few problems getting all the right files in the right place, but boy, was it worth it.
What else can I say but, wow !
Having toiled over the list of libraries and objects and zips, I've just loaded Misty's Place and had a quick look around. This is exactly how I hoped it would be from all the articles I'd read and all the videos I'd watched. Now I get to experience it for myself.
What an incredible experience! My hat off to everyone who has contributed to such an incredible site.
Looking forward to being able to immerse myself in the vast and beautiful landscape of the PNW and beyond...
:)

Hi RTMM_Minx!
Welcome here on RTMM.
Great, all is working now fine for you. Now. it`s time for you visiting all the great places in RTMM area.

Hi RTMM_Minx and welcome to RTMM. I think you will find this is a very friendly place with lots of things to do. Take your time exploring for there is a lot to see and experience. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. This is a pretty active site so you won't have to wait long for a response.
Have fun!

Hello RTMM_Minx,
Welcome to Misty's. Good to hear that your installation is coming together.
-
Welcome RTMM Minx,
Glad to see that you are ready to experience what we have to offer here. There's a lot to go out there and explore., so remember that it's best enjoyed in small increments. We're happy to have you in the family, so make yourself at home here at "Misty's Place" and don't forget, the newbie has to buy the next round!
Cheers,
Brad
-
Thanks everyone for that lovely welcome!
Can't wait to explore a bit more, but reckon i'll need PlanG first.
I'm not able to get on my sim weekdays, its mainly the weekends, but I reckon you'll see me on here quite often.
I'll be buying the first cold ones at Mistys ;)
-
Welcome aboard, Minx. How big is the female flightsim population in your neck of the woods? Poor Nadine seems to be almost alone in her world.
Cheers!
Mike
-
Ahhhh....another newcomer to welcome! Happy to have you on board Minx.
-
No idea how many of us girls there are out in the flight sim community but i reckon you could count us on the fingers of a hand or two at most. Not sure why there are so few of us. In England flying for real is so expensive, I'm lucky if i can manage more than 2 or 3 ' real world ' flights in a year. I'm happy to split my time and lets face it, with simming I can fly the equipment I want, where I want and I'm not restricted by our predictably poor UK weather. . . What more can a girl ask for! :)
-
The current male/female ratio here at Misty's is at "2.2:1". ;)

I cannot omit to wish the welcome to another woman new registered in RTMM, then, welcome Minx, I hope you will take a lot of fun here with us :)
Welcome also, of course, to all those I had not yet greeted ;D
-
Welcome aboard RTMM and all its great scenery. I have been absent from the site for awhile due to illness so not up to date on most of the new folks and offerings myself. But I'll be sure and hit Misty's Place for the beer the new folks have to buy. Don't be shy about asking any questions as the people here are more than happy to help in anyway possible.

Hey there Spud,
It's good to see you posting again. ;) I hope you're feeling better now.
-
Hello, after lurking a bit decided to join. Had a bit of a rocky start, I probably mistyped or as Mrs. C2 likes to say "fat fingered" a piece of information while signing up. Thankfully Doug came to the rescue and got it squared away, thank you for the prompt response. I had been looking at RTMM for a while and was able to set aside a bit for ORBX PNW & PFJ, finally got Misty's Place going and have been having fun as finally a decent place for my floatplanes.
Once again, a big thanks to Doug.
Take care,
C2
-
Hello C2,
Welcome to RTMM. Glad you made it in. See you at Misty's for a round. Please post with issues you're having, or if you've got something to share. Show some screenies or share a story or a joke at Misty's Place. Thanks for checking in. 8)
-
Welcome to RTMM. Glad to have you aboard. Now enjoy the ride and we'll see you at Misty's Place.
Brad
-
Welcome aboard C2, I'm sure you will have a great time 'splashing down' in all the water destinations here in RTMM. Misty's Place even has a water runway and docks to tie up the A/C while your busy buying the beer at Misty's.
Remember asking questions is free if you need any help.
8)
-
Hi C2,
Welcome to RTMM! Take your time looking around because there is a lot to see. We are a pretty freindly group so don't hesitate to ask questions whether you need help or are just curious about something.
Have fun.
Rod
-
Hi C2!!!
Welcome here on RTMM!! Great, you found your way in it. A good choice having Misty`s Place already running on your system...You know Misty`s Place offers a nice bar where you can get some really excellent virtual beer?... :) :) :)...
-
Thanks to all for the welcome aboard. Next round at Misty's is on me. Hope everyone likes Boilermakers! Maybe on the next flight in,
some of Mrs. C2's family recipe err, I mean some horse trading. ;) Guaranteed to put hair on your chest no matter who you are. I like RTMM because it reminds me of when I was in High School, (years ago) my grandfather and I would fly up into Canada and go fishing when we lived in the Tacoma, Wa. area.
And because eventually someone will ask, yes, that is me on the left in my avatar.
Take care,
C2
-
C2,
Spud, who's our resident QC manager and Misty's bouncer, also is from the US Navy Aviator ranks. Not sure what he flew back in the day though. Spud, care to enlighten us?
Brad

Hi all another newcomer here.
I'm also a bit of a newcomer to flying as although I've owned FSX for many a year I never really got into it. However after years of using Railsimulator I was waiting for the last yearly update and thought I would reinstall and give it a try again.
What I needed though was a purpose whilst learning to fly and after finding Misty (and Mindy) I discovered it, a place to explore and experience. So here I am, very green when it comes to flying maybe, or more to the point landing as getting up and staying there seems ok but getting down is where the difficulties arise.
I've bought myself an aircraft, the Carenado C185 Bush put down some roots and am thoroughly enjoying myself.
I should add I do like a beer, although I don't buy it very often as I brew my own, but you are all welcome round mine for a tasting session.
Bill;
-
Good morning Bill,
Welcome to RTMM. Let us know if you have any questions. Glad to have you aboard. 8)
-
Welcome aboard Bill. We're all here to lend a hand and are ready with any questions you may have to get you up and running.
Brad
-
Bill, glad to have you aboard RTMM. As already said, any questions, problems or tidbits of wisdom are always welcome. Home brew huh? I used to have an Uncle who brewed his own and after a new batch was 'aging' downstairs a few would explode with the attendant glass and froth round about. It certainly wasn't 3.2 stuff!
8)
-
Ahh well I don't get any exploding bottles here as I keg my beer, although my wife has banned me from brewing in the spare room due to an unfortunate moment when I forgot to make sure the tap on the barrel was properly tightened during a second stage fermentation.
Amazingly there was a build up of the most amazing aroma before we realised what was going on. Luckily there's no carpet in that room just a hard floor and a rug and it's only used a couple of times a year.
-
Welcome Bill! We look forward to hearing more from you as you explore this great site!
Rod
-
Welcome Bill!
Have fun here!!!! :)
-
Welcome Bill. There's plenty to explore around here so settle in and enjoy!
I remember my Dad making root beer in the basement. Then the tops started to blow....LOL

Hi all - Mike here. I'm a newbie to bush flying, but I've been tinkering on & off w/ flight sims for several years ago and decided to get back into it. I've got about 16 hrs real time in the C152 & C172, but never got any further than that for a variety of reasons. After casting about here & there for something to get more specialized in FSX (airliners? just GA sightseeing?) and when I came across bush flying I was hooked.
I'm very glad to have discovered this site - this all looks really stunning and incredibly immersive and many, many thanks to all who have obviously put a ton of work into all this. I'm no expert at FSX and still have a lot to learn, especially about bush flying & I'm looking forward to digging in. I've got the Realair Citabria/Decathlon/Scout package, the A2A Cub and the Flight Replicas Super Cub to work with, as well as ORBX PNW and SAK, but I still need to get Pacific Fjords and Tongass Fjords X. I've also been playing w/ Plan G a bit.
-
Hi Mike,
Welcome! You picked a great place to get into Bush Flying. Take your time and enjoy learning about FSX and Bush Flying. Don't hesitate to ask if you have questions as you learn. We are a very friendly bunch.
Have fun!
Rod
-
Good morning Mike,
Welcome Aboard RTMM. Bush flying's best site by far. When those questions pop up just jot em' down here and there is a very good probability of getting an answer for all the knowledgeable folks. You mentioned Plan G and I see that v2 that everyone preferred has been broken by Google some how, so it it isn't working correctly that is the reason. V3 will work OK I'm told.
Now for the important part .. As the newbie you get to buy the beer at Misty's Place for the gang.
Have a great time exploring all the destinations here a t Misty Moorings.
8)
-
Hi Mike,
welcome here on RTMM. Have fun!!!!! :)
-
Hello Mike,
Welcome from me too, and a thanks for the virtual beer. Bush flying is the best, and we all love to do it in the bush. The Scout is a fun little plane. Good luck with your setup. We're glad to help if you need it. ;)
-
Thanks all for the welcomes & there's a round of cold one's on me over at Misty's Place! ;D
-
Mmmm.... Tasty.
Thanks Mike.

G"day from Western Australia
Just signed on today and looking forward to some cool weather flying - makes a change from 37 - 40
degrees C over the past week over here !
Hope to pick up tips on the Forum.
Cheers, Bill.

Hello Bill,
Welcome to RTMM.

Welcome Bill, Glad you're here and please ask away. We're here to help.
Brad
-
Welcome aboard Bill,
Mearly summer in your part of the world, made a port call in December on the cruise home from Viet Nam in 68 and enjoyed the green world and lovely Jacaranda (sic) in blossom then. Any question you would like an answer to concerning RTMM should be available on the forums. BUT there is a price for it ... Ya gotta buy the beer at Mysty's Place because the 'newbie' always needs to meet that requirement!
Glad to have you, take your time and there is so much more than the forums on the site as far as excellent information and knowledge is concerned. Be sure and get the required libraries installed first so the scenery will display correctly.

Hello Bill,
Welcome to RTMM.
Jeff I was just admiring your avatar, haven't seen one of them since I was a wee lad. Remember when a midnite regular programming to stop, and this test pattern would come on and I think her name was Ethel Smith would sing God Bess America. Always kind of wondered if that was where the saying came from, ''It ain't over until the fat lady sings Carpe Deim
-
That was Ethel Merman you're speaking of. For me I also remember the "Navy Hymn" being played with footage of ocean waves being shown.
Then.... The sound of static...Psssttttttt.....,
Poltergeist!
Brad

Theerre Baaaaaaaack! :-[

Thanks. I am rebuilding my operating system and computer environment since my "Master Boot Record" became corrupted. I have to re-install everything. I am knee deep in Orbx re-installs and their updates/patches currently. My RTMM is not re-installed yet, and I don't have my TrackIR working either.
So, the "Test Pattern" is to indicate that I am "down" at the moment. (but not out). ;)
-
Hi guys
Thanks for the welcomes. Only too happy to shout a round at the bar - having a cold VB for you ( that's a Victoria Bitter )
So much info on the Forums.Will need some time to absorb and get my bearings.
Bill.
-
Hi Bill,
Welcome and Happy Holidays down under! There is a lot to enjoy here so take your time and have fun!
Rod
-
Hi Bill,
a big welcome here on RTMM !!! Hope you enjoy....Have fun! :)
-
Hey folks,
Just joined up because all the awesome add-ons caught my eye! I've been simming off and on since the days of FS2002 (high school for me) and most of my flying since the beginning has been in the areas covered by Tongass, Southern Alaska, and Pacific Fjords. You should see how rough of shape my Juneau sectional is in, haha. Early on, I was active in Bush Flying Unlimited and Big Bear Air, but for the last several years I've just been tooling around on my own at FSEconomy as time allowed.
In the real world, I was earning a degree in Accounting and then working my first job at a CPA firm after that, so my free time was pretty limited and didn't lend itself to a whole lot of FS. Now I've got a new job and a little more time on my hands, so I'm starting to fire up the old Beaver again, and I guess you could say I missed the community.
Looking forward to exploring everything!
Mike
-
Hi Mike,
Welcome to RTMM. It is an exciting time to be getting back into it. We are on the verge of an evolution in the flightsimming world. Whatever platform you fly in, it's great to have another beaver driver in the group. See you at Misty's Place for a round of Moose Drool. ;)
-
Welcome Mike,
Take your time and enjoy the scenery. There is a lot to see. We are a very friendly group so feel free to ask whatever questions you would like. Normally, a response back is pretty quick.
Rod
-
Mike,
welcome aboard RTMM, the "bush" place on earth. Low, slow and in the woods is what we do. Of course being the new guy your on the hook for the beer at Misty's Place. As Rod says any info you need just ask, if we don't know we fake it! Actually got a pretty knowledgeable bunch so we should be able to solve most problems.
8)
-
Hi Mike,
Welcome aboard here on RTMM! I'm sure you like our awesome place for the virtual bushflyers.
Have fun here.....and we see you at Misty's place for the first round of beer... I like my beer cold ;)
-
Thanks for the warm welcome guys. I've just finished installing the three scenery add-ons (just the third, fourth, and fifth payware items I've ever bought... the others were Aerosoft's Beaver and Twin Otter) and am about to go wild with all the free stuff here. Can't wait to try it all out!
-
Mike, remember to get all of the required libraries of objects installed first in your sim before you start adding our individual sceneries and other enhancements.
http://return.mistymoorings.com/object_libraries/index.php
Be sure to make use of the scenery object tester. Then you can really begin your RTMM adventure properly.
Brad
-
Just a passing thought, though not member at the startup, can you imagine now after full filling nearly 3 years of scenery of the daunting task to some of folks who are just now joining and loading the libraries and the sceneries that have been put forth by the scenery guru's. Anyway my hat's off to those just now joining and enjoy, oh and by the way Happy New Year to all, can't wait to see what comes down the pike in 2014
-
Thus, we have the wisdom of Spud.
"It's like eating an elephant. One bite at a time." ;)
Except . . . elephants don't continue to grow while you're eating them. ;D
-
Matter of fact I just "suffered through" that experience due to a mother board failure that left me with no way to read my RAID array HD's. So it was a complete start from scratch of EVERYTHING FSX not just RTMM but all ORBX etc. As they say I was 'as busy as a one legged man in a butt kicking contest" for a couple of weeks! :o
8)
-
I am still recovering from a MBR failure. I'm not stressing over it, or hurrying either. Everything has/had to be reinstalled to rebuild my OS registry. And the same with FSX. Rebuilding my scenery library is a daunting chore. I am maybe 65% recovered.
-
Hi
I just thought that it was about time I made myself known as I have been hanging around for a couple of months now! What can you say about RTMM except 'Wow' (and in my case can I even hope to run most of this on my ancient system).
Now I know that it is traditional to offer (virtual) beers to everyone but I am going to offer pasties and cake instead, you need some ballast for all that beer!
Anyway, wishing everybody on here a happy New Year and many more hours of bush flying
Peter
-
Hello Peter,
Welcome to the forum, and Happy New Year. 8) Thanks for the offer of pasties. I hear they're a mouthful. :o ;D
-
Welcome aboard Peter. Pasties and cake? Well I guess we should keep 'abreast' of the newest trends.
8)

Just remember, "In Cyberspace, no one can see your man breasts!"
Welcome to RTMM!!

Hi Peter,
Welcome here on RTMM. Have fun ....Yes, I'd try some of your pasties and cakes! :D
-
Welcome Peter,
We're glad you made yourself "known". Flying around the Misty Mooring territory is a lot more fun when you can share your experiences, problems, frustrations and successes with other. If you have any questions or need help, don't hesitate to post. We look forward to hearing more from you.
Pastry and cake sounds better than beer to me.....thanks!
Rod

Hello,
We are talking about pastry and cake here? So here I am ! :D
Welcome Peter and also to all new whose I have not seen the arrival.
And a Happy New Year to everyone :)
-
Good morning/afternoon/evening all!
I'm Ashley, will be 20 in a month and am from the warm and humid Brisbane, QLD, Australia.
I've been lurking this site occasionally over the past few years but have finally decided to rejoin with a renewed interest in flying around western Canada and southern Alaska. I've been to western Canada a few times but haven't been to the areas RTMM scenery touches.
I have downloaded some RTMM in previous years but a month ago FSX completely crashed for almost no reason for the 5th time on me this year so I got rid of it and made a fresh new start with P3D v2 which I am immensely enjoying and barely having a problem with (except my old GTX 460 1GB graphics card). RTMM is a bit overwhelming at first and only recently with more interest have I figured most things out here, but the Legacy Collection and Misty's Place are very helpful. :) I am missing a few objects though as I'm yet to get Tongass Fjords X.
I am generally a VFR type flyer (and love VFR-ing with the King Air), occasionally fly the passenger jets, but only recently have gotten into flying with floats. A problem I get myself caught up in when going for a flight is deciding where to fly and what route. The dispatches on here though are great and will certainly have a go at them.
I look forward to what more is to come for RTMM!
-
Hello Asheroo,
Welcome to RTMM, and the forum. Glad you poked your head in to say "hi". Time is wearing on FSX and P3Dv2 is a fresh change (heart transplant) for our flightsim. You will like flying the little float planes down "in" the bush. Use a Scout amphibian and stay low and fly along the shorelines at 500' to 1,000' feet. Come in with flaps extended and flare your floats up at the last minute. I think of a duck landing. Is that wierd? I love the amphibians, and the beaver is my favorite one. ;)
Anyway, welcome to the flock. ;D
-
Hi Ashley,
Welcome back! Glad to see that you are going to give RTMM your attention.....the site has only gotten better since you were last here. Though you are from down under, I have no problem picturing where you live since I have been to Brisbane twice. The City Cat is really a great means of water transportation down there. I live near Tampa so can appreciate your good weather too!
We are very friendly here so if you have any questions don't be afraid to ask. Have fun!
Rod
-
Hi Ashley,
Welcome on RTMM...as you aleady know, I'm sure, this is an amazing place and great community for the bush-flyers. Have fun!!
We should also speak about your next visit to Misty's Place....you know then it' s up to you for the next round of free virtual beer there :D ;).....I like mine well cooled ;D
-
Hej Asheroo, nice to see you making a come-back.
Hope to see in the forums and try to make it over to the screen shot forum and post a few, always a pleasure seeing the adventurers of pilots around here.
word of warning... flying Hooch to the thirsty dwellers in the RTTM area is against the law. So, best to mark the jugs as Beaver oil not to cause suspicion. ???
-
Welcome back to RTMM Ashley,
Low, slow, below the ridge lines is the technique to really enjoy the scenery of the RTMM area provided by ORBX. When the 3 phase installers for their scenery are made available to port regions/airports into P3D v2.0 there should be no problem using RTMM destinations in that sim. At the moment however it would be prudent to utilize FSX with ORBX and RTMM for the full features of our scenery.
8)
-
Thanks for the warm welcome all! :)
Low and slow is indeed a lot of fun and makes for great adventurous flights below the low clouds. It's all in the art of Alaskan/Misty Fjords flying. I do have my excitement with flying the jets up high and twin turboprops fast and low but Alaskan flying brings in a new world of excitement.
So far I've managed to install my Orbx products and RTMM scenery well into P3Dv2 with a few little tricks and all is working very well. May post up some screens when I next remember to hit the V key.
As for the beer, I rarely drink alcohol but I'm very happy with iced chocolates (caffeine does me no good). Oh the looks I got from cafe staff during my times in Canada when I ordered iced chocolates there while outside it was -10C to -20C. :) I do love the cold. I'm no fan of the weather at my place.
One query, would be interesting to see the responses: Does anyone have any tips as to how to make up one's mind of where to fly from and where to (apart from the dispatches and trip tics)?
-
Hi forum, I'm new as well, just installed CIRP about a week ago, and yesterday a bunch of other addons. And it's really a relevation, how much more fun one can have with the already brilliant ORBX regions up there!
I also just started flying helicopters again, which goes double well with RTMM scenery - very very nice experiences so far.
The one little gripe I have is with the missing DX10 compatibility of many addons, but I'm happy to wait for coverage to improve.
This I found while exploring southwards from Misty's Place yesterday, on my first flight from there:
(http://www.fsfiles.org/flightsimshotsv2/images/2014/01/19/63Iuj.png)
-
Welcome to RTMM Agood,
Nice screen shot by the way. As far as DX10 files some locations have been modified to display correctly in DX10 by substituing a non-compatible object with another that works with DX10. This was being done prior to the "DX10 fixer" program that has become available for purchase. If you check out some posts in the forums there are many that talk about this program.
I can't give you exact info as I do not use DX10 etc. adhering to the KISS principal. I'm not sure if more of the location will be given the DX10 treatment or not now that the 'fixer' program seems to do that for those that are DX10 users.
All that being said not of course is the really important info. The guys and gals will meet you at Misty's Place for the "New Guy" to buy the beer!! ;D
8)
-
Yay!!! More beer!!! ;D
Welcome to RTMM, Agood. 8)
-
Thanks guys!
Btw I run Steve's DX10 Fixer - that program was the turning point that finally made it feasible, painless, and significantly better overall than running DX9 mode. But it doesn't fix everything, notably some older, FS9 portover objects for example. So I will appreciate any updates to affected RTMM scenery...
-
I think work will begin soon to convert all fs9 objects to FSX for compatibility with P3Dv2 (and FSX). That has been discussed recently already.
An effort needs to be made in that direction, for both FSX/dx10 and P3Dv2's benefit. ;)
-
Hi Agwood,
Welcome to RTMM. I too am hoping someone from the ORBX community converts all of the FS9 textures for P3Dv2 compatibility. It will be a big job especially to convert the animated objects. The problem right now is need a tech who is using P3Dv2 and has time to work on the conversion.
Luckily, there are quite a few sceneries in the RTMM library that are at least DX10 ready.
Rod

Hi Agood,
welcome here on RTMM!!!!
Good news you like flying helicopters!
Have fun here....and I wait at Misty`s bar for the next round of beer! ;)

@corbu1, I was sitting at Misty's yesterday afternoon actually, over a cup of coffee in between missions. Before anyone could join me though dispatch called - had to pick up a logger who'd been crushed between two tree trunks in Dora's, and fly him over to Ketchikan for treatment... but I'll be back ;)

Ahh.. Another rotorhead who does B222 medevac. You'll be amazed how much this e-community has to offer plus the friendlies in here.. Welcome to the northwest frontier playground thru RTMM Agood! :D

Thanks Trex!
Are any of you guys really living (and maybe flying?) up there in the North, perchance?

I am in the general vicinity. I am just south of Vancouver, BC . . . on the Washington State side of the line, in Lynden. No, I don't fly in real life. But when I was a kid, my friend's dad took me up in his single engine cessna something or other. I didn't know anything about planes back then. But that got me hooked on flying a plane. I just never could do it in real life. Then I found FSX and the rest is (virtual) history.

Nice! Is the "outside" as breathtaking as I think it is, based on FSX? I mean, the first time flying around in the PNW area I was just blown away, especially once I started using ASN for realistic weather. I imagine in real life it must be at least 10 times as vast and impressive.
My current mid-life-spoiled-German idea is to try and find some small charter company up there who'd take me on without pay as a kind of intern for a couple of weeks, right-seat copilot kind of thing, to see whether I like that lifestyle as much as I think I would. I'm a PPL-A holder and as such only fly as a hobby, whenever money, wheather and time permit (which wasn't often in the last couple of months...). So I still have the illustion that flying for money is the greatest thing in the world ;) At least as long as it's small-scale, GA kind of flying that is. I'm not a jet person at all...

Hello donnybalonny,
Welcome back. After 10 years, you've got some catching up to do. ;)

Hello Kent,
Thanks for registering. Welcome to RTMM. Get settled in. We've got some exciting changes coming soon and flighsimming has never been soooo coooool! Let us know if you have a question, or a simming story.
-
Good Morning and Welcome aboard Kent,
As Jeff says we are about to make some changes to the required libraries that will make RTMM scenery locations compatible with both DX10 Preview mode in FSX and P3D V2.x which expands the horizon for adopters of those mode/simulator versions.
Now for the really important part, we will meet you at Misty's Place so you can, like every newbie, buy the beer! ;)

Hey Kent,
Welcome aboard! RTMM will literally keep you busy for a lifetime.
By the way, Spud hits everyone up for a few rounds when they climb aboard. I think he should open his up wallet for the new guys for a change. He'll need to make sure that your over 21, however. ;)
-
Hi Kent!
Welcome aboard here on RTMM and thanks for registering!

H Kent,
Welcome to RTMM! I would say more but I am too busy working on those changes that Jeff and Spud mentioned.

Kent, pull up a chair and sit down and relax. Great to have here and remember to visit "Brad´s BBQ Pit " throughout your journeys here at Misty Moorings. He also serves up a mighty fine brew with Hooch chasers.
-
Kent,
A warm welcome from a helo bush pilot here in RTMM :) Unless you fly one and do not enjoy the adrenaline rush of sky diving from a hanging platform, there's no better place to do it than from the Kildala Gorge Helipad (about 2,000 ft AGL), I can airlift you there.. Just bring me an ice-cold 6-pack from Misty's Place and we're even.. The jump is so challenging that Lex Luthor would cringe at the sight of it but gladly no kryptonine when you touchdown ;D
-
Many thanks for the very warm welcome!
For the part about being over 21... I guess we need to double that and then still add some more... ;)
The beer orders will be executed! Who am I to break with good old traditions!
I am already on P3Dv2, so I am very much looking forward to the new libraries so I can get started.
-
HI Kent,
I am thinking the new libraries will be out this week....stay tuned.
Rod

With all the probie's coming in, I'm getting a virtual hangover, welcome one and all

Hi Kent,
New libraries are up now!
Rod

Hi all,
I've been with FS on and off for many years. Misty Fjords helped pull me away from mil jets and tubeliners when I was fairly new in the world of multiplayer.
I am hanging with the folks at msFlights.net these days. Lots of like minded prop heads such as myself. I can only speak for myself when I say I think I will really enjoy the offerings here. Look forward to enjoying the RTMM!

Karl,
welcome aboard Return to Misty Moorings. Low n' Slow is the norm around these parts. It is the 'Journey' after all that sets bush flying apart from the heavy iron. Do not overlook the float trips for a truly 'down in the scenery' experience. You just can't get lower and slower than a nice watercraft on the river.
Of course the gang will meet you at Misty's Place for the obligatory 'buying of the beer' that all newbies must provide.

Hi Karl,
Welcome to RTMM. I think you will find a lot to do here and have a great time. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.

Hi everyone,
Been using Misty's scenery for a couple of years now and I finally decided to register for the forums. Everything works so really didn't have a need. I would like to express my appreciation for all the work everyone does here. It has brought me hours of enjoyment. Thank you!
I'm on the central coast of California and I'm in my 70s. Hope I have a few years left. Beer's on me.

Hello Jim, and welcome to the forum. Glad you stopped in. I was getting thirsty. It's good to hear that everything is going smoothly in your RTMM world. Hang out and listen to the local gossip from time to time. We are always willing to share our Misty experiences over a virtual beer. ;)

Hello All!!!
I'm new here at RTMM and I have to say, This place is great!!
I should have joined sooner!
I own all ORBX NA regions + TFX and this is such an amazing compliment to these beautiful regions, I am absolutely blown away with this site and all you have to offer for FREE!!!!! I will be donating to this awesome place, you all deserve it so very much.
Thanks for having me and I look forward to commenting on the beautiful screenshots I have seen here!

Hi Ziggy,
Welcome! We are a fun group that really enjoy bush flying. As you have noted, there is a lot to see so take your time and enjoy. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask and someone will come along with an answer.
Have fun!
Rod

Hi Ziggy,
Welcome to Return to Misty Moorings. This is a great time to be here. We have new library objects, and an ever-growing scenery library of destinations. Doug is always coming up with new ways to get from here to there. Brad is developing some locations in P3D, and we are all having growing pains with the new P3D upgrade. I am back into the FSX cockpit, until I get my P3D issues resolved.
Be sure to check out the forums, to get answers to almost any questions you could think of. Read the NOTAMS thread to get up to speed on scenery development. Also, we are happy to help when you need it.
So, we'll see you at Misty's Place for a round. Welcome to Misty Moorings. ;)
-
Welcome aboard RTMM Ziggy,
I think you will enjoy the vast amount of offerings that enhance the ORBX and FSAddon regions where we fly and have a great time discovering new and different destinations. As Jeff metioned we'll see you at Misty's Place for a welcoming round of beer on you, being the newbie on the block! ;D

You guys are Awesome!!
Thanks for the warm welcome!
Just Finished a flight from CYXT to CYPR (I have a lot of RTMM scenery in sim now) and I am LOVING this!
so much cool stuff to see, Thank You so much for this!

Hi ziggy,
Welcome here on RTMM......have fun and see you at Misty's Place! :)
-
Hello Ziggy,
Welcome to Return to Misty Moorings. We always enjoy seeing new people come in and we hope you enjoy what you've discovered so far.
Be sure and take a good look at the enhancements page as well as the scenery page. We've spent a lot of time putting together a very good collection of AI shipping and other enhancements to make your journey complete.
My advice is always the same, take your time and go discover one or two destinations at a time and then enjoy the ride. There is no hurry here and we can answer and help you with any issues you may come across.
Thanks for your kind words and we'll see you at Misty's place!

If I have missed anyone...BIG WELCOME!

Gentlemen,
I am very happy to join the fun. Your type of flight is my cup of tea.
I am the CEO + bush and Special Ops manager of a friendly Virtual Airline, St Paul Airlines (http://www.stpaulairlines.com/). By the way, I am not trying to recruit new members for SPA. On the contrary, I will encourage our pilots to join the fun and the Misrty Mooring group which will add new possibilities to our range of bush and special ops flights.
A word about myself, I am a French Speaking Swiss citizen, 72 years old, and a former East Africa bush pilot at the end of the 60's (Cessna cardinal and similar toys).
I really look forward to flying in your area.
Cheers,
Yoland 8)

Have been flying FSX for years but just added Misty
-
Welcome to our group guys!
-
Two newbies to RTMM at once! Misty's Place is going to be jumping tonight. Twice the free beer as usual.
Seriously, welcome aboard gentlemen. Take some time and browse through the site and you will see the mountain of information available for flying in the bush locations offered here. Always start with getting the required libraries. They are the key to everything Misty's. Best of all you have the option of using the scenery in FSX, FSX/DX10, or P3D.
Great bunch of pilots here and any problems you may have just ask or search the forums for previous answers to earlier problems.

Hello all,
I'm John Rogers - and like Yoland, I hail from Saint Paul Airlines. Unlike Yoland I have no real pilot experience. I'm currently the webmaster for SPA. I look forward to trying out some of the resources here at RTMM. Back at SPA we're working on getting our multiplayer flights 'off the ground'. We try to schedule one every two weeks. There's so much going on here at Misty, I'm still looking around, but now feel ready to take flight!
Let's Fly!

Welcome aboard folks...it's easy to get lost around here, if you do, just dial up the forum here and we will guide you through the RTMM maze. Lots of toys here, don't forget the AI ships and AI aircraft. It all comes "alive" especially while you are low and slow.
Doug

Welcome aboard John,
RTMM IS a very extensive and easy to get side tracked place but as already been mentioned just ask and someone will remember where that doo-dad can be located.
Looked at St. Paul's site the other day and it does look good indeed and I'll have to spend some time having a look around.
Hope you enjoy the low n' slow world of RTMM.

Hey John,
Glad to have you as a part of the RTMM family. Lot's of stuff happens around here on a regular basis and things just keep getting better all the time. Don't let the size and scope of this place scare you and take your time getting familiar with all that there is to offer!

Welcome back Lee. Thanks for stopping by the front desk to say "hi".
The gang is out by the BBQ, telling of their adventures. Go get some grub. ;)
-
Hi Lee,
Welcome!
Rod
-
Lee...now you too have experienced the reason for the "return" in "RETURN to Misty Moorings". That is also why the "coming home" picture at the top of Misty's Place. We all fly "out of the scenery"...I virtually vacation in Hawaii and the Caribbean. When I've had my fill, I grab some big iron and set the GPS to "direct Ketchikan." Then I return to home. Not everyone will return, but those who do all share an interesting personal experience. It is comfortable to always have your own parking spot at Misty's Place.
Welcome home.

Lee,

Just dropping a line to say hello. I discovered RTMM a while ago but never got round to get immersed in the fantastic world that is the Tongass National Forest. RTMM really shows it has been a labour of love. Looking forward to the countless hours I will be flying using the great scenery RTMM provides! Thanks for all the hard work guys!
Gil

Thanks Gil,
Welcome to the forum and the forest. Many things to discover around here. ;)

Wow! more fresh blood and cold beer! Welcome aboard RTMM Gil. More things to do here than you can imagine, take your time getting the basics and you will be flying to all the great locations available in the wilds of Canada and Alaska down in the valleys and canyons where the view is breathaking and the flying is fun.

Welcome, Gil! There is a lot to see here so sit back and enjoy the "scenery". Don't hesitate to ask any questions along the way. We are a pretty friendly place.
Rod
-
Welcome aboard Gil. I think "immersed" is the right word! We are actually thinking about creating some startup manuals for new folks. RTMM can be a little imposing when you first encounter it, so we are going to go to work on that aspect of it. But as you can tell from then"welcome" responses, you have plenty of people ready to give you a hand with any complexity or problem you may encounter. I always worry about seeing so many new members signing up at the forum or seeing 38 guests on line (like yesterday) and I wonder if they need a hand with anything. I wish more would post as you did so we could be ready to help them. Let us know what you need or how we can make things easier.
Doug
-
Thanks a lot guys. Doug, your analysis seems very sensible to me, and in my case, rather accurate. When I stumbled on the page the first time, it did feel somewhat overwhelming, particularly when time is at a premium, and you only have a few minutes at your disposal at the end of the day to figure out what's what.
Also, with some of the sceneries (other than the really obvious ones like Halibut Cove), it wasn't clear which ones were fictitious, or which real. So for example, Misty's is obviously fictitious, but I'm assuming that some of the cabins do actually exist in real life(?). It would be nice to identify them as such, especially for beginners. A start-up manual, perhaps with a brief executive summary at the beginning would be helpful. I'd be willing to offer editorial assistance should this come to fruition.
Another suggestion I would have, although I can see potential arguments against it, is to have an up-to-date installer or ZIP file that contains all of RTMM in one place. I'm currently downloading all the sceneries and building up the scenery folder little by little. I am aware of the Legacy Pack, but it would have been nice to not have to manually extract each scenery. The argument I can see against this is that somebody would have to maintain a current version of this pack, each time an individual scenery is updated.
Having said that other packs like the Libraries and AI Shipping are really well put together and straight-forward to install. I also learned something new with the presence of FS9 AI obliterating FSX/P3D traffic!
I've always loved flying around the Tongass National Forest. The topography is breath-taking! But now it feels more purposeful and fun, particularly flying into places with difficult approaches!
So many thanks again!
-
Good Morning ... Thank you for the input, several points I've added to the outline for the (maybe) beginners manual. Much appreciated. Us "old dogs" at RTMM tend to forget what this thing looks like when a beginner approaches it ... it is often overwhelming.
As for reality. As a rule of thumb, Most of the locations we've added on the RTMM side are fictional. Our purpose was to draw people back into the beautiful scenery where they would normally not fly ... sort of showing off the amazing places, some absolutely beautiful. So we would fly and find such a place, then put something there to give people a reason to go there.
CIRP, the ice fields, is a good example. You need a pretty good reason to fly high altitude to nothing but MILES of ice and snow. But if you have CIRP installed, the ice fields come alive. Flying between them gives you some amazing scenery ... also they can be tricky to find and the weather is ALWAYS a problem! Many don't realize, there are GROUND routes (with a hovercraft) that take you between the ice stations, with waypoint markers placed out on the ice ... this is a whole different aspect of CIRP.
However, on the USFS Cabins side, everything is REAL! Many cabins were put in by Holger and Billl into the software packages ... these are at actual locations of the USFS cabins. But they didn't put all of them in, so we "filled in" the gap with the "Missing Cabins". Once you add those (on the Cabins page), then you will have every USFS Cabin and Shelter in their Alaska regions. All totally real. When we add something fictitious in those areas, we purposely keep it OFF the Cabins page. On that page you'll also see the Lighthouse and Oil Rigs ... they also are real. So as a rule of thumb, for realism, go to the Cabins page, for everything else you'll find it at RTMM.
We should probably mention when a scenery is REAL on the RTMM side. I'll look into that. Rod is working on some real ones at the moment. Yes Bay is Real, Halibut Cove, etc.
The question arises often about an "installer" for everything. That is one thing we "wish" we could do, but when you look at it from a practical point of view (the point of view from our direction, running the server and keeping it up to date), it just isn't going to happen. It would be a terrific convenience for people starting out with RTMM, but it won't work for us way of doing things. The Legacy package is a close to this as we have come. And it was sort of a test in this direction. Updating Legacy is a "PAIN!" I don't even want to think about that "pain" multiplied by 100. The problem is, at RTMM, we are always making updates and making things better. (We are not professionals, just amateurs, and we will make some mistakes, or later learn how to do something better). So we "update" often. (You can see the all the updates when you come down through the scenery page), every time we update, it is in the NOTAMS. Each update would mean a new installer or a patch (which is a nightmare). And the installers would be HUGE ... and that is BANDwidth. We are a FreeWare site, so we don't have the revenue for a "professional" server that can handle such things.
We also have found there are "scenery junkies" out there. Any free scenery, they grab it... they collect it. That is OK, but most rarely "fly" the scenery....they just look at it and say, "cool" and look for the next one. We would have thousands of downloads for such people ... and again, think Bandwidth, if they were downloading the latest "installer" package. That is not what we are about at RTMM. So we make the "collection" a little more difficult ... you have to WANT it and you have to make an EFFORT to get it. Those are the folks that will stay with the site and become involved in it. It is a "downside" for some critics. But for us, it protects our bandwidth, and gives us the ability to continually update and make the locations better for the "regulars."
Our first little "manual" will be about Navigation and HERE2THERE. This will give folks a methodology for selecting which scenery to download and fly next ... sort of helps with the thinking and selection process. For instance, some folks only have Tongass X. I still get emails from those folks telling me that Misty's Place is in the water. There is no need for them to download Misty's Place ... it is PFJ. If you look at the Starting Points table on Here2There, on the right hand column, the software package necessary is listed. Most people don't realize that is even there to help them. Those are the "little things" we hope to point out in any little manuals we create for folks that will help them with location selection/download. If everyone could afford ALL of the packages that would be great, but we are not assuming that, so we've gone to this extra level of detail to help those folks.
Keep the ideas coming to us ... some we can do, some we cannot. But it is ALWAYS worth the discussion. At RTMM, we are trying to keep up to date with all the latest technology. Not easy with DX10 and P3D suddenly landing on us ... but we are compat with everything ... so we've technically kept up with the changes and our last year's efforts were in that area. Now, hopefully, we can start having more fun with more interesting locations.
Thank you for the input ...

Just to 'embellish' what Doug says about sever bandwidth etc. The zipped download archives I have on an external HD which is at least 98% of what RTMM offers is nearly 700 MB in size and that does not include the space an installer package for everything would require just to put in on a hard drive.

-
I totally understand the points you raise Doug :) Thanks for the additional insight! Indeed to clarify the confusion re: reality/fiction was the inclusion of Halibut Cove in the RTMM section. I was aware of the existence of the USFS Cabins and was pretty certain those were not fictional!
I do have another query. Not sure if this is in existence already or if there is an easy way to implement it. How do RTMM users keep up with updates? I've just set up to be notified to any new posts in the Addon Scenery part of the forum. Is that how you guys do it?
-
The best way is to keep up with the NOTAMS. Every time we update something, I make a NOTAM of it. There are two places for the NOTAMS, one is on the web page (top header third from left), the second place is in the new NEWS and NOTAMS section of the FORUM ... the information will be the same at both (I copy/paste). I was hoping to use only the forum, but again, when you look at the statistics, it is amazing how many people go to the NOTAMs page on the site ... so I'm "stuck" with two entries. The News and Notams on the forum is relatively new, so won't have all of the updates over the years. The Web Page Notams has all of them since the beginning. As a beginner comes to the site, he doesn't have to worry about all those old updates, whatever he is downloading is the latest. But to keep up, I'd recommend the forum. (But again, many people visit but don't sign up, I suppose they are looking at the NOTAMs page on the web.

Hi. Folks ,should have done this ages ago. I am Anthin Delahunt and am glad to be
part of this gret site.
Regards Anthin.

Hi Anthin, and welcome to Return to Misty Moorings. Thanks for checking in. ;) 8)
I trust you are getting along ok, since you've been with us for some time now? If you need anything, let us know. :)
Happy flights to ya. 8)
-
Welcome Aboard Anthin,
although I see you have been a member since 2011 its your first post on the forums. Always nice to hear from people who have been around but silent. If you have been reading the site you know already that help is but a question away if you have any problems or requests.
However there is a matter of the obligatory beer fest at Misty's Place you have been apparently trying to avoid. ;) So we'll all meet you Sat. night at the bar so you can generously provide a repast as the "newbie" ;D :P
8)
-
Welcome and man I'm thirsty. Also putting on a few pounds with all the "Newbie" Nights at Misty's Place. Damn it's been busy in there.
Thanks for coming aboard and have a great time,

Just a "By the Way" comment to all new folks. Many are contacting me with emails because they are a little shy to get in the forum...one told me, she didn't want to be flamed for asking a simple question. Let me be real clear on that point. We will never flame anyone here...never. And if it happens, I'll step in immediately and ban the person flaming. Our forum's focus is solving problems and working together. RTMM is NOT a simple site...it is complex and with FSX, DX10 and P3D with all the updates and objects changing, what we are doing can be very intimidating to new folks. (Even some of us older hands can get stumped!).
There are no stupid questions, there are only problems to be solved. The one thing that will stand out in your mind as you use THE RTMM forum is the speed and quality of expertise that comes to you when you post a problem. I'm prejudiced, but I'm sure we've got one of the most qualified and friendly teams of any flight sim site. These folks will stick with you until the problem is solved. And when it is solved, we've ALL learned something. And a lot of expertise is also offered by RTMM non-team members. There is plenty of help here.
For the new folks...don't try to do this alone if you are having problems. Ask us. The RTMM team is actually looking forward to helping you solve the next problem. Don't worry about your language skills or your technical skills...ASK US, even in your own language...we've got Google Translate just like you do. What a shame it would be if one person gives up because of a problem we could have helped them solve.
So ask us...join the forum so you can participate. We want to hear from you...and it is SAFE here, that's a personal promise from me and the team will back me up in it.
Doug
-
Amen to that. ;)
-
Hi Anthin,
Welcome to RTMM! There is so much to see and do here. Take your time and enjoy it. As Doug said, there are no dumb questions. Please feel free to ask and the staff will try to respond as best we can. I hope all other new members, who are in the background reading but not posting, take a minute and at least say "hello". After one post, you will immediately start feeling a little more comfortable with the site. We are all flight simulation enthusiasts who have at least one hobby in common. Let's all have fun with this fantastic hobby.

Welcome to RTMM Joseph. Thanks for stopping to say "Hi". Hope to hear more from you after you get settled in. You might like the STOL competitions over at Annette Island, or Valdez for a start. ;)
-
Joseph,
glad to have you aboard RTMM. Lots of information and places to 'fly to' available to one and all. Once you have the required Libraries installed your ready to begin the 'low n' slow' world of bush flying. Don't forget the Tongass X, and PFJ software, although payware it will be some of the best money spent on flight simming.
Help or information is only a question away from some great folks here at RTMM.
Now get yourself over to Misty's Place and we will all have a beer on you. ;D

Hi Darren!
Welcome aboard and watch out for those pesky 'skeeters that can suck a moose dry.

What with all the new faces, I'm getting virtually hammered from all the free beer

Do you think the mosquitos get drunk? :-\ ;D

Depends on how hammered you are and how strong your bug dope is.

Hi Gang,
Joined a couple years ago but illness kept me away. I have it all setup now and can't wait to get going. A long time member has suggested that I do a lot of reading in here first. So it is good to be back. Already received some help with my Beaver. Wonder if there is another good payware or freeware amphibian plane that is popular in here with a 2D panel.....like a Cessna on floats etc....cheers al
-
Great to have you back.
Carenado has a C172 and a C206 that will suit your amphibian and float needs and even has a 2D panel. Both are FSX but will work in P3D.

Greetings All:
Read some good things about Misty Moorings so this morning I bought the Tongas Fjords X and hope to enjoy the scenery with you.
Many years ago I spent six months in Alaska flying out of Elmendorf AFB. My co-pilot was from Seward so I was treated to some really good times (even
if out tour did start October 1st). Also spent some weeks in Vancouver and Victoria.
Some of the most beautiful country I've ever seen.
-
Welcome cubpilot54,
I am curious where you "read about us" at. It's good to hear about when someone finds us. Come to think about it, I can't remember how I discovered RTMM back in 2011. Glad to have you here. Let us know if we can help with your acclimation. ;)
-
Welcome, cubpilot54! I think you will find we are friendly bunch here. Feel free to ask any questions you want and we will try to help when needed.
Have Fun!
Rod
-
cubpilot54,
welcome to this place! Low n' Slow is the name of the game at RTMM so kindred spirits are abundant. Flying down "IN" the scenery brings so much more to flight simming and this is the place to maximize that experience.
If you have any questions as Rod says just ask. Misty's Place is the watering hole where we will meet you so as the 'newbie' you can buy the beer! ;D

Welcome cubpilot54!
Now sit back and enjoy some true hospitality. Oh and if you have any questions, just ask. I'll have that draft now "Misty".

Hi cubpilot54,
Welcome here on RTMM have fun!

Hello,
I'm completely new and discovered this project after installing PNW from ORBX and lookins for some free sceneries for VFR flights in this area!
I come from Switzerland and speak french, sorry for my poor english!
-
Hello and welcome to RTMM, flo1981. You're in the right place to get free scenery locations. Take some time to just read the forums. There are years of information collected within these threads. If you need help,just ask. ;) We have a few french pilots here too, so language is no problem, usually.
-
Welcome aboard flo1981,
A great deal of content available here at RTMM but the board is quite extensive and as Jeff says reading is going to aid in understanding just how much free scenery is offered.
You have PNW from ORBX and there are a "few" location withing that ORBX region but as you will see reading the site most of RTMM is located further north and requires ORBX PFJ and SAK plus FSAddon's Tongass X. These of course are payware so it might take you some time to save enough to buy them. ORBX right now is having their annual Christmas sale at 33% off so PFJ and SAK would be less costly this month. As a member of RTMM FSAddon gives a discount for Tongass X but I can't recall exactly how much.
Now for the important part: Meet the crowd at Misty's Bar so as the 'newbie' you can buy the beer!!! ;D
8)

I just got all the required stuff installed and a couple of the sceneries to test with. Looks good so far.
As background, I'm a retired mechanical engineer with about 20 years in FS. I started out in VERT and after several va's am now an escapee from a military va with about 2500 hours (about 500 hours in helos), This looks like a great place to just relax and explore. I'll see about a civilian va later or may run a USCG helo station, we'll see.
Right now I just did Misty's Place and the legacy stuff for testing. Over the next few days, I'll settle on some others and keep testing.
This is a fantastic piece of work and so far, it looks great!

Welcome one and all. What with the probie's lately, I'm finding myself waking up with a virtual hangover
-
Hi, I'm René from France, having relatives on Vancouver island. I just discovered Misty Moorings, you've really done a great job, bush flying for over 10 years but very disappointed when I started with FSX since there weren't that much sceneries for Alaska. ORBX changed things with SAK, and PFJ I bought recently, and of course Holger's Tongass Fjords. I downloaded almost all Misty's sceneries, I couldn't dream better, there's so much to discover I haven't been back on a liner the last two weeks.
I'll have to get rid of the old addons which are no longer compatible but I see there's enough to do without them.
Wonder if I should also get ORBX PNW since I already have Holger's Vancouver v.2.0, Victoria and Tampa's KSEA.
Thanks again for all the work you've done, and a happy new year to the whole team.
-
Hi Rene,
Welcome here on RTMM and a happy new year!
Have fun exploring the RTMM world, there are so much places to find you should be busy for the next months... ;)
-
Renee,
welcome aboard RTMM. Bush Flying is certainly our game and purpose. Glad your enjoying low n' slow.
Of course we will expect you at Misty's Bar to buy the beer as the Newbie!!!!
PNW by ORBX, if you can afford to buy more scenery this close after Christmas, is a great buy as are all the ORBX Regions. They contain much improved scenery over default FSX and provide much more realistic scenery. In fact I would recommend the Northern California region as well. Combined with PFJ, Holger's Tongass X and SAK you have the entire Pacific coast with the exception of Southern California which ORBX will release at a later date. With this scenery it is possible to fly from San Fancisco to Anchorage without ever leaving top quality scenery.
Too bad you missed the ORBX Dec. sale as you could have saved a bit of cash.
Again, welcome and see you at Misty's

I call myself Gypsy Pilot and like the Boll Weevil I was just looking for a home when I discovered Misty's Place.
I now have a home and I have been busy for the past couple of weeks rebuilding my home after an OS failure.
I fly floaters and I love the challenge of flying here with it's almost unlimited places to go.
;D Flying in the rain, Just flying in the rain
What a wonderful feeling, Flying in the rain ;D

Great to have you on board. I see you are taking advantage of the forum to help you get started. I wish more people would do this. That is the "hardest" part ... getting the libraries working, etc. And we are here to help anyone through that process. Once you are over that initial "initiation" to RTMM ... the membership is easy and a lot of fun. I go off to other places in the world to fly ... then I come home ... this is one of the most beautiful places on earth.
Doug
-
Welcom Aboard RTMM Terry,
I'm sure you have already been made aware of the extensive amount of adventure available here for we low n' slow folks. Take the time to get all the required libraries etc. and begin the 'adventure'.
Of course it all starts at the bar at Misty's Place where you will buy the beer!!! ;D
8)
-
Thanks Spud for the welcome.
Am not shy at going to the bar 8)
See you inside.
-
Hi Terry,
Welcome back in this great hobby we all love so much!!
And welcome here on RTMM. If you are looking for low and slow adventures then RTMM is definitly the right place for you. Explore the RTMM website....there's tons of stuff to discover. :)
And as Spud was already talking about the virtual beer at Misty's bar......Hmmm, I feel I get thirsty!! ;D
-
The "Virtual" Beer Problem at Misty's Place ... SOLVED!
Yes, there's an app for that! It is called IBeer and you can get it at the app store.

It's those virtual hangovers that I hate.

Well I just flew into Misty's place and it was almost empty :)
Although it was around 6:30am local time. Guess you guys had just gone home ;)
Tell you what - the Newbie pack and now Misty's place really make the low slow bush flying
pretty damn perfect.
Cheers ;D
-
At 6:30am I was touching down at Border Lake Provincial Park in my C185 Tundra. ;)
-
Hot damn Jeff and there I was with a full wallet ready to buy the beers :)
That reminds me. On the photo of the seaplane (Beaver I think it was)on short final to Misty's Place,
where can I get a Beaver with the retracks ? So I can take off on land or water.
Is there a freeware version or is it going to be payware ?
Thanks
Terry :)

Hi Terry,
Sorry, but that would be "Off Topic" for this "Hi, I'm new! (introduce yourself here)" thread. :'(
(. . . and actually, we've wandered off the path already!) :o (It's all that beer!) ::)
but, feel free to start a new thread or just look up "amphibian beaver" here or on google. ;)

Ahh sorry. I wasn't thinking.
I will Google it.

Hello all!
Not new to visiting your website, but new as far as a login. FSRobert (one of your members) has me visiting this site again. I've been around flight sims since my Apple IIe Sublogic days. Since my friends and I like to fly a lot of Alaska and Bush scenery areas in P3DV2, I thought I would try to visit this site more often.
My friends and I fly P3DV2 in multi-player a few times each week. it's a very stable and great multi-player platform and is a blast as fars as bush flying into remote areas. We all have the Orbx areas from Northern California to Alaska as well as Tongass X, so we're covered.
Spent 7 years in Alaska and have flown into some remote spots. Beautiful and challenging area.

Welcome Steve! It's really neat when a real world pilot joins the community (is this a correct assumption based upon your USAF experience?) and plays in the sandbox with us. Have fun!
Oh ya, what kind of aircraft did you fly?
-
Hello Steve and welcome to RTMM's forum. Thanks for stopping in to say "hi". See you at Misty's then, eh. You can only dodge the "first round" for so long. ;) The gang will be filing in shortly. :P

Welcome Steve! It's really neat when a real world pilot joins the community (is this a correct assumption based upon your USAF experience?) and plays in the sandbox with us. Have fun!
Oh ya, what kind of aircraft did you fly?
Not a real world pilot, but I could be...lol. Over 5,000 hours in RC-135 aircraft. Was 30 semester hours shy of a BS degree to fly and get a commercial pilots license. Father was a pilot in USAF. Mother was a civilian instructor who taught instrument flying and basic flight training in T-6 Texan aircraft for the USAF. Hmmm..maybe she met my dad that way...lol. I'm not afraid to fly most anything. The wings in avatar picture are for being a crew member. I was on aeronautical orders for about 17 years.
Besides kayak fishing, I spend a lot of evening time dabbling in Prepar3D V2 and flying multi-player with some buddies across the country. I can be found on Skype under the same picture as my avatar. Give me a heads up if you try to connect so I know who you are...lol. Thanks for the warm welcome!
-
Hi Steve,
welcome on RTMM and thanks for introducing yourself...have fun exploring all the stuff here!

Welcome aboard Steve,
sounds like once you grab the required libraries your all set to begin the "adventure of RTMM". Only thing you did not mention was Acceleration which has scenery objects that are used in some of the locations we offer.
We'll see you at Misty's Bar soon I expect.
If you have questions or need information about anything here at RTMM don't hesitate to jump on the forums and give a shout. We usually have the answer for most problems that arise.

Spud,
Thanks for the warm welcome. I will assume the Acceleration reference is for FSX. I run P3D V2.4 only. I'm working on a fictitious scenery called Wilderness Retreat (PWR1) in the Juneau area. I might consider uploading it once it's finished. I haven't checked out the library objects here in years. I've been making all my custom objects myself...lol. My best tour in the USAF was by far Alaska. Stationed there for 7 years and really enjoyed the beautiful scenery. Can't wait for Orbx to finish the rest of the state!
-
Hi Steve,
just a quick caution on uploading scenery at RTMM it must be submitted to the team prior to being uploaded so QC checks etc. can be done.
8)
UPDATE:
it seems that P3D already contains Acceleration and therefore it is a non-requirement for P3D users. As I do not run anything but straight FSX my comments are geared ONLY to that sim.
8)
-
Welcome Steve!
I am sure you find a lot to do and experience here. Just to expand on what Spud wrote, if you do have something you are working on (which is great!) and you are thinking about submitting it to RTMM for review and possible upload, you need to contact Brad to have him verify the availability of building in the area where you scenery is and he would also be the one to direct how the scenery would be vetted before it could be uploaded. Take a look at the "Rules and Regs" for Authors Contributing to Return to Misty Moorings by clicking here: http://return.mistymoorings.com/about/#r (http://return.mistymoorings.com/about/#r):
Rod
-
Rod,
No worries. I read all the rules and understand the process. No guarantees on uploading that scenery. It's been suggested I do so by other folks that have had sneak peaks...lol! Almost 100% of my scenery development has been for personal use. Looking forward to seeing what's in the RTMM library objects that I can use. Have a great weekend! :D
-
Steve,
Glad to hear your interested in maybe adding some creations of yours here at RTMM. We'd love to add your stuff. If you do decide to share something with us here it's gotta be approved and most likely will be as long as it's within our scenery profile. Which is easy to see. Bush flying only. No big, medium or even small airports. Just dirt, grass, gravel airstrips and water operations geared towards bush flying only.
You may use our updated objects for designing any scenery here at RTMM but we'd probably not be willing to let any scenery designed with our objects be shared elsewhere like AVSIM, etc.
Finally let me know exactly where your scenery is located so we can make sure it's not too close to any of our other locations.
I look forward to seeing what you have to offer and hope your happy and willing to accept our policy decisions. Always happy to have a fresh new approach here so please feel free to join the party.

Hello All,
I'm a new guy from France. Big fan of the original Misty Moorings in FS9 and now on P3D. I'm a real life pilot (looking for a job...) and I love bush flying. I'm really impressed by the work on the sceneries, this is really great and very immersive.
Because of you I feel that I'll convert my EASA licence into FAA to hunt for a Beaver pilot job !! :D
Cheers,
Mat

Welcome Aboard Mat,
most of the points about asking if in doubt, looking through the extensive information available on the site etc. have already been covered by Rod and Steve. Be sure to get the required libraries and other software needed to sucessfully use RTMM scenery and you will have the best low n' slow experience available anywhere.
Now just pick a time to meet us all at Misty's Bar so you can buy the beer!!! ;D

Thank you for the warm welcome !! I have started discovering but there's lot to see indeed !! :)

Hello Mat!
A big warm welcome here on RTMM....have fun.
Great having a real world pilot in the club.
-
Hello Mat from France, and welcome to RTMM. The gang has already given you the speeches, so we'll just see ya at Misty's then, eh. Glad to hear that you've been inspired to fly the beaver. Be careful out there, in real life. ;)
-
Mat and Steve, great to see you here in the fourms. Pull up a chair and relax and enjoy everything RTMM has to offer.

Hello! I just recently grabbed all the libraries and the legacy pack and have had a couple of nice flights. I plan on spending more time around here so I figured I'd say hi. In real life my name is Rob; I live in the suburbs of Chicago with my wife and almost five year old girl. My day job sees me working as a systems engineer and manager of a team of developers at a trading firm in the Chicago loop. I've always had a love for aviation but have never had the simultaneous freedom of the time and money to pursue a pilot's license, so instead I spend time in flight sims between family and professional demands.
Anyway.... hello! I'll be sure to buy you all a round at Misty's as soon as I can drop by.
-
Hi Rob,
I am originally from Chicago! Welcome to RTMM! I am sure you will have a lot of fun! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. We are quite friendly.
Rod
-
Hi Rob,
Welcome to RTMM! Thank you for saying Hi and introducing yourself. Have fun here!!!
....thank you for the beer! I like it well cooled!!! ;D
-
Hello Rob and welcome to RTMM from me also. Thanks for saying "hi" and we hope to see you in here often, reading the forum threads. There's a great deal of information in there. See you at Misty's. ;)
-
Welcome as well, and just to let you probies know, probies buy a round of drinks for everyone at Misty's
-
Rob,
welcome to RTMM the premier low n' slow site. The legacy pack will keep you busy for a long time to come and adding locations as time permits just increases your experience with the scenery. If you have any questions just ask right here in the forums and I'm sure someone has the answer.
My last duty staion was NAS Glennview and I lived in Hoffman Estates to the west of Chi town so a bit familiar with the area.

Yo Rob, a big welcome to the magical place. Have fun here and see you in the forums.

Hi all,
many, many thanks for all your spectacular enhancements to my flight sim experience. I can't even guess how much effort, heart, sweat an tears went into creating and supporting all this incredible stuff!
I rediscovered flight simming end of last year after a really long pause. My first fs experience was some decades ago on an Apple 2e. Later then a couple of flights with various fs versions. I never was quite happy zhen, because performance issues and missing rudders. When Elite:Dangerous came out end of last year I was back into flying (kind of) on my PC. I got an Track-IR for the dogfights in E:D and grabbed my dusty FSX DVD to try headtracking in FSX.
I was immediately hooked again, swapped my gaming laptop for a i7 4790 CPU and GTX970 graphics card, got the Saitek Cessna yoke and rudders, tried X-Plane 10 (gorgeous night flying) then P3D.
Rather early it was clear that I want to start slow and low and eventually bush flying. I got the ORBX NA sceneries (except NCA), managed to manually install Tongass Fjords into P3D2.4, got the A2A C172R and C182, RealAirs Scout and Legacy, Aerosofts Twin Otter Extended, freeware Pilatus PC-6, Lionhearts Quest Kodiak plus the original FSX C208B, DHC Beaver and Maule copied over to P3D.
Yesterday I installed your fine Legacy package for starters and here I am redy to meet you at Misty's Place ;-)

Yo Currybeef, glad you found us (how did you find us ?) and great to have you here. Hope you find the sites, sounds and challenges of RTMM relaxing. Always something new to see here. Hope to see you more in the forums but,the most important is to have fun.
-
Hi Currybeef,
A big warm welcome here on RTMM!
If you are looking for bush flying that is the right place for you. You did a good start with the legacy collection. When you have these locarion discovered you will soon realize there's so much more to explore in RTMM world.
I recommend installing the RTMM AI shipping collection. This set populates the waterways in RTMM with dozen's of ship traffic.
But most important is you are having fun here.....and for us is important it's your task as newbie paying the first round beer for us at misty's bar! ;D ;)
Greetings and best wishes from southern part of germany...ehm...Bavaria :D

Hi Currybeef,
Welcome aboard and enjoy the sights and sounds of the RTMM world. There's tons of things to discover and learn! Best of all, if you have any questions there's plenty of help available,
Steve

Welcome aboard RTMM CurryBeef,
Low n' Slow is the plan of the day every day for all the 'bushies' around here. With the legacy collection and libraries your set to enter the world according to RTMM. I've been hanging around for a long time and still am amazed how much content and information is available on the site. Be sure and investigate all you can (shouldn't take more than a few months) and as already mentioned ask any questions you might have. Now lets get down to the important things. The bar at Misty's Place is where we'll meet ya and you can buy the beer!!

-
Welcome CurryBeef,
You will find that this is a great place to have fun and lose yourself in flying. By the way, Jeff is a fan of Elite:Dangerous so I am sure he will be along shortly to say hello!
I used to play Elite in its early days.
Rod
-
Welcome CurryBeef,
This is the best place to be for low and slow flying, P3D, and the virtual bush pilot's life. I'm glad to hear that you dug up some controls.
I am a Cobra MkIII pilot myself (Cmdr. Aspen Dragon) in E:D. It is the most fun you can have with a planetarium. I love it. See you in the void, Commander. ;)
If you have any questions, we are here to help. Welcome again, to Return to Misty Moorings.
-
Just wanted to say welcome to all of our newest members. I'm feeling kind of dizzy with all the suds being poured at Misty's. :P
Brad
-
Thanks all for the warm welcome :-)
Currently I enjoy spotting the places of the legacy collection one by one. If you stayed at Misty's yesterday evening, you might have recognized the blue tundra Scout flying one abbortive approach after the next. That was me sharpening my pilot skills. I swear I was prepared and willing to buy all of you a round...
@corbu1
I followed your advice and installed the AI shipping collection. Great models and increase of immersion!
@FSRobert
If I remember correctly I stumbled over Misty's Place when googling how to install Tongass Fjords in P3D2. Or was it a search for 'P3D + best bush planes'...?
@jeff3163
I stopped playing Elite:Dangerous in favour of P3D. Full time job, two little kids, lovely wife, a minimal weekly amount of sports, and my ambition to improve my very basic guitar playing leave no room for a second computer game.

Oh boy! We have another guitar player in the group. We should start an RTMM band.

Hi Dustoff,
Welcome on RtMM! Have fun....

Hello Everyone!!
I've been virtually flying the world (particularly Alaska) since FS2002 and have flown with various VA's in the region (BFU, VIVA etc).
Thanks for all your hard work in creating scenery for this area.
Warm Regards,
Paul Kane.
-
Hello Paul and Dustoff,
Welcome to RTMM's forum pages. Thanks for saying "hi". Let us know from time to time how you're doing out there in the bush, OK. If you see something odd, be sure to let us know. See you at Misty's for that round. ;)
-
Hi Paul,
Welcome to RTMM! We are a friendly group so if any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Hi Paul,
Welcome here on RTMM.....have fun while exploring RTMM world. :)
-
I feel like a new person here today too! So I'll introduce myself to the new folks. I just got P3D V2.5 working! Whew ... a scratch install on everything (new solid state disk and vid card). Just want to empathize with the new folks coming on board here. Even those of us who have been with RTMM from the beginning "struggle" a little. I had to ask for some help from the team (and of course got it!). But PLEASE ... for the new people, jump on the RTMM forum, say "hello" as you are doing and when it doesn't work, let us know. Don't be shy. We KNOW how difficult some things can be. Ask for help.
Welcome to all the recent folks who have come on board. It is "worth" the struggle getting it all set up. We are lucky at RTMM to be working in such a beautiful area. Glad you are joining us!
Doug

Hello Doug,
Welcome to RTMM, P3Dv2.5 style! See you at Misty's Place. ;)

I think the drinks should be on Doug everywhere in RTMM today!!!

I've got my virtual (iPad) beer app ... have been drinking all afternoon ... where are you guys? :-)
-
Just checking in. Glad to be here! I mostly fly the Quest Kodiak in the bush, but on occasion will fly a Pilatus Porter just for grins.
Stew

Hey Stew ... welcome aboard. Anytime you have a question, let us know. There is a "lot" of stuff here, the team will always be here to help you find things and help you get started.
Doug

Welcome aboard, Stew. Glad to have you. Get settled in. We're always nearby, if a question arises (or a good story!) ;)
-
Hi Stew,
Welcome to RTMM. Take your time because there is a lot to see and do. Have fun!
Rod
-
Hi Stew,
Welcome to RTMM.....have fun exploring all the great stuff here!!!
-
Welcome Aboard Stew,
low n' slow fling at its finest here at RTMM. Grab the required libraries first and then start having great adventures exploring the scenery. Of course before all that work we will meet you at Misty's Place for the free beer your going to be buying everybody!!! ;D

Thank you, Gents, for the nice welcome. And it will be my pleasure to host the next Happy Hours at Misty's place. Being retired has its benefits, y'know... 8)

Hello All,
Great to meet you. A long time lurker, now that I'm finally starting to get the hang of FSX I guess it's time to poke my head above the parapet and introduce myself...
It all started when I bought Tongass Fjords X about a month ago and was completely hooked on the whole low 'n' slow thing within half an hour of the install; the immersion factor of that add-on is second to none. I've since added FTX PFJ, PNW and SAK and a few Orbx airports to fly between (and that all happened 'cos I was looking to see if there'd ever been an FSX version of Misty Fjords...Orbx PFJ), but I always seem to end up back in Tongass somewhere; now if I could only cure myself of getting lost every single time I fly to Klawock...
I'm happy to fly most things "bush," and anything with floats on...currently a Piper Pacer floatplane in combination with Accu-Feel v2.
RTMM is such a great place. I've read the site on and off for a while, and plan on starting to add the RTMM sceneries to my install shortly to push up the immersion factor in areas outside of Tongass, so there'll be more questions coming, knowing me that'll probably be a LOT more questions!
Kind Regards,
Sam
200 feet, minimal visibility and absolutely lovin' it.
-
Welcome Sam,
Thanks for taking the time to say "hi". We look forward to your questions, and screenshots of your adventures as you discover RTMM.
Remember that installing RTMM's scenery is like eating an elephant. ;) Bon appétit!
See you at Misty's for that round . . . ;)
-
Welcome aboard Sam,
lurking has its advantages, getting familiar with the site and all it offers takes more than a "little" time indeed. It seems you have all the prerequisite scenery regions to fully enjoy the hundreds of locations available on RTMM. Be sure and download and install the required libraries if you have not yet done so. Then low n' slow will become even more adictive finding those tiny out of the way cabins etc.
So, we'll meet you at Misty's Place for the free beer you will so generously provide.
Questions welcome always of course.
8)
-
Hello Sam,
Welcome here on RTMM. Have fun!!
-
Thanks for the warm welcome. I'm looking forward to discovering RTMM and will be sure to post a few screenshots as I find more of the scenery locations. It'll also be my pleasure to stand a round at Misty's.
I have all the libraries downloaded and ready to go, I just haven't had the opportunity to get them installed yet. I thought I might download a few of the sceneries and do the whole lot in one session along with the AI Shipping package as the Inner Passage feels way too quiet whenever I fly round that way as things stand.
Spud - Funny you should mention cabins. I was on my way from Wragnell to Stewart with a Beaver floatplane yesterday and spotted a cabin just south of Ketchiken that I hadn't known existed; I had to land and explore, but the owner was out so I still don't know who it belongs to. I imagine there'll be a lot of that once I start installing the RTMM sceneries.
Jeff3163 - *dusts off best elephant-eating cutlery set and adjusts napkin* I gather I may be at this for some time, eh? ;)
corbu1 - Thanks. From what I've read here already, RTMM sounds like a fun place to hang out, so I'm looking forward to trying it all out.
Kind Regards,
Sam
-
Welcome Sam!
I am sure you will find a lot to do here. Have fun!
Rod
-
Glad to have you on board, Sam. It's an adventure for sure. Sounds like you're getting the basic ORBX packs installed. Ya know, a good way to get started after that is the RTMM 'Legacy' package. That will get you up and running with some RTMM sceneries and you can add from there.
JJ
-
Welcome Sam. RTMM could keep you busy 24/7 for a LONG time. Have fun!
-
ualani, jsapair, stilleto2,
Thanks for the warm welcome, guys. :)
jsapair - Yup, I had my eye on the Legacy collection as a starting point. I thought that, plus Misty's and the AI Shipping ought to keep me busy for a while.
ualani, stilleto2 - That's what I'm hoping. Don't get me wrong, I'm a great fan of Orbx scenery but, I kinda feel Tongass Fjords X just has the edge where the immersion factor is concerned; it's all those cabins and tucked away small details that you have to go and find. The impression I have is that RTMM does the same sort of thing for the adjacent Orbx scenery packs...adds to the immersion factor, which is just what I'm looking for.
I can't wait to get started. Now, if I could just work out how to add a pic to my forum signature I'd be a very happy man.
Kind Regards,
Sam
-
Great to have you here MackemSam. Enjoy all that RTMM offers, it's a lot I can say that.
Looking forward to your screenshots and seeing you in the forums. You
-
FSRobert,
Thanks! I've been enjoying your RTMM videos for a while...one day I might work out how to record my own FSX/RTMM videos, in the meantime I'll certainly post a few screenshots. :)
Kind Regards,
Sam
-
... and if you like tucked away cabins, check the USFS Cabins page. We even put in the "missing cabins" listed by the forest service, but not in ORBX or Tongass. There are pics of the real ones and flight plans to all of them. 320 cabins total.
Doug
-
Doug,
I downloaded the missing cabins package this afternoon. Great minds, eh? :)
Kind Regards,
Sam
-
Sam, click on your avatar from a post which will take you to your profile page. Click 'Modify Profile'. There you will see a section where you can browse to whatever pic you want to use. Maybe find one from 20 years ago like most of us do. Ha.
JJ
-
Sam,
just as a teaser I have attached a Plan-G map of the area around Ketchikan with a few of the RTMM location depicted as small green dots. There are many more in the entire region that RTMM develops for including Tongass X. So whenever you feel like going ahead you will find more than enough to keep you in the air.
8)
-
jsapair - Thanks. With yours and Dan's help, I've figured it out and now have a pic where I wanted one. :)
Spud - A few?! By the time I've downloaded everything here at RTMM (long term plan) I doubt I'd ever land...in-flight GA refuelling could come in real handy. ;)
Kind Regards,
Sam

Hi, I'm new! :D Ronald to the authorities, Ronnie to my Mum (and only my Mum!) Ron to everyone else. I've been FSXing for about 6 years now. I have of course been aware of RTMM but never got round to doing anything about it. Until online flying buddies of the AVSIM RTW race team decided to arrange a Tongass fjords tour.
I have to say that installing everything necessary was a baptism of fire! :P But I made it and I'm delighted with the results. (http://www.finnglish.co.uk/Stuff/thumbsup2.gif)
Thanks for all your hard word work.
Ron
-
Hello Ron,
Welcome to RTMM, finally. Now go wash off that soot, and we'll meet you at Misty's Place for a cool, refreshing round. Let us know if you need some salve or whatnot. ;)
-
Ron,
Welcome Aboard RTMM. Yeah, the initial required libraries, software etc. are a bit of a chore but once downloaded and installed, as you said, the rewards far outweigh the effort. "Down low and slow is the way to go, up high and fast doth blow!"
Jeff has already mentioned that obligatory 'wetting down' party at Misty's Joint for the gang so we'll meet you there. (Bring you wallet! ;D)

Watch out for the virtual beer at Misty's. It can give you a 2 day virtual hangover. Somehow Spud seems immune to it however.

Hi Ro,
Welcome here on RTMM. Have fun here exploring the site and all the stuff here.
-
What a nice welcome, thank you. :) You're right about one thing...There's a heck of a lot to see here! :D
-
Hi there!
I have been here before, several years ago, but have now returned to include RTMM as part of my flying within FSX!
I've been around Microsoft Flight Sim since FS5 and a logbook to match! I'ill confess a lot of my virtual aviation experience is with commercial jets with several VA's over the years including one which I currently run and manage myself.
In the real world I am based in the UK and try and squeeze my "sim" time in around family and work.
As I mentioned in my opening sentence I came across Misty Moorings back with FS9 somewhere around 2005 I think? I flew in and around the areas for twelve months or so before moving on.
On return to this great website a few weeks ago I was once more astounded at the depth of detail available when flying within the region. The amount of time spent in putting together such a fantastic resource is considerable. Starting from scratch as I did to download and install the various required files was well spent and I look forward to once more exploring a stunning part of the world once more in FSX!
-
Hi Richard,
Welcome! I'm enjoying the pics and stories that you have posted already. I think you will find that there is a lot to explore here. Have fun!

Hey Doc...welcome home. That's one reason we call it RETURN to Misty Moorings. I take a break now and then myself. Built some great dockage in Hawaii, now in Recife test flying the new 777 Dreamliner. Back to Atlanta, Seattle and home again to Ketchikan. I'm returning too. :-)

Hello donnybalonny,
Things have changed a bit since then, eh. Thanks for popping in to say "hi". Watch out for those chickens. ;D

Hi donnybalonny,
Welcome back! Have fun on RTMM.....

Welcome Home Donny,
F2004 MM was a great scenery project that has continued and expanded for FSX. Glad your doing it 'sensible' by going slowly and enjoying the experience. No sense in trying to 'do it all' at once. Now although an old gun at the scenery, it is a new sim version and new scenery so it also new free beer on the the 'newbie' at Misty's Place. Belly up the bar boy the beer is free!!! ;D

I'm Bob and go by Doc_Z (non-medical, just a nickname). I was around Misty Moorings several years ago, but life interfered. Retired now and came back to RTMM a couple of weeks ago. Thought I had posted in this thread, but I guess not. Installed a bunch of scenery and have flown a bit.
I posted a question in the add-on scenery forum a couple of days ago, but nobody has replied.
-
Hi Bob,
Welcome back, again. I saw your post about the Halibut Cove control panel, but thought Rod would be better to help you than I. Rod made the control panel. ;) Sorry you have been waiting.
(. . . and you DID post in this thread already. Look up to reply #817. ::))
-
Bob, I'm with Jeff on this one...Rod is on vacation, I thought he would pick it up then realized he isn't around. He is the expert on this problem...I don't know the answer and will be learning just as you are on this problem. He will be back in a week or so, sorry for the delay.
Doug

I thought I had posted earlier, but getting older, etc. :) No hurry on the control pane, I can wait. Thanks for the replies.

Hello my name is Kevin. I am excitied to see that I can use P3D here. I need help deciding where to start. I have Orbx Sak installed and have Pnw also.
-
Hello BamaKevin,
Welcome to the Return to Misty Moorings forum. Thanks for saying "hello".
Yes, we speak P3D here. We'll help you get started by directing you to the scenery "Object Libraries" that you'll need (to be able to see everything correctly).
You may also ponder an addition to your collection, of Tongass Fjords X, and Pacific Fjords too. But let's just concentrate on the libraries for now.
Read the forum posts, as most questions have been asked and answered already. If you don't see an answer to your problem, we want to know about it. ;)
The Object Libraries can be found by clicking the link here:
;) http://www.return.mistymoorings.com/object_libraries_build/
-
thanks Jeff3163. I am planning to add those two sceneries as soon as I can. I just purchased FS Global Mesh so it hurt my pocket as far as my addon budget goes.
-
Kevin,
welcome aboard RTMM. Alway nice to see a "newbie" that asks the right questions. Libraries are absolutely essential for RTMM scenry no matter which version of FSX or P3D your using. As for the two payware products Jeff mentioned unfortunately those two are where the lion's share of RTMM scenery resides but on the scenery download page what region is required for a particular destination is listed so you can avoid those downloads until such time as the old wallet will allow buying both PFJ and Tongass X.
Tongass X has allowed us to utilize AI aircraft for one of the enhancements to RTMM so without that addon you will need to wait for that enhancement as well.
There is so much available to enhance your simming experience on the site please dig deep and you will be amazed just how much information etc. Doug has on the site.
Now for the most important thing of all; remember the new guy has to buy the beer! So meet ya at Misty's place when your next payday rolls around. :P ;D

I am Marcel, 67 years old and living in Antwerp Belgium.
I am simming for over 20 years, but I finally landed at RTMM. Bush flying is definitelly my thing now.
And the eye candy of all these sceneries gives me a real holidays feeling...
-
Welcome Marcel. Spud owes you a round at Misty's since he's been sponging off of every other newcomer around here for years.
-
Hi Kevin and Marcel,
Welcome aboard RTMM. Have fun while exploring our low and slow flying world....
There's really a lot to discover in yrTMM world, you will see...... ;)
-
Spud I am looking forward to buying us a round of beers at Mistys. Maybe we can fly up to Stewart and grab a BBQ at Brads Bait and BBQ as well. I am excitied to see what RTMM has to offer. As far as aircraft I have the A2A Cub and was hoping for a few suggestions in this area. Looks like I need a good float plane too. I like the looks of the Aerosoft Beaver but looks like it may not be compatible with P3D yet.
-
Wha ... the beaver is not compatible with P3D? ??? Who was gonna tell me? :'( I've been flying my beaver in P3D ever since I had P3D, and have not experienced any problems of any kind. Have you heard something? ???
;D
Welcome aboard to Marcel. Glad you found the Misty Fjords. 8)
-
Jeff I thought I read on this site that someone installed the Beaver and had some missing gauges. I hope it is compatible cause it looks like a aircraft I may want. Did you use a migration tool?
-
Hi Kevin,
I don't remember if I used the migration tool or not. Why should I have to? There are no special script files to install elsewhere etc. I usually just drag/drop my planes from FSX, into P3D. If you do that, only do ONE PLANE at a time. Test it, then do the next. Some planes will crash P3D. It's nice to know which one it is. Don't forget to move the effects and gauges over also, making sure they are compatible. If not, swap 'em.
It is possible that I have forgotten about fixing gauges. That does kinda ring a bell. But I mess with the gauges of my planes all the time, so no big deal for me. I have swapped out some, like the airspeed. The default one didn't go high enough. (My super modified beaver can go 270 knots wide open, then touch down at 35 knots. ;) ) Not "realistic", but is such a blast to fly. All my other planes get neglected.
If some gauges don't work in P3D, just use other ones that do. ;)
-
Aerosoft Beaver needs to be installed into P3D using the Flightsim Estonia tool and then to get the gauges to work you need to download and install a revised .cab file available in the RTMM FAQ section under "P" titled:
P3D Fix Files
If you have more questions on this start a new thread under Help and Troubleshooting so we don't hijack this Welcome thread any further than we have....
Thanks.

A big welcome to Kevin and Marcel. I know you will find the RTMM experience to be very rewarding and look forward to interacting with you in the future.
Rod

Thanks Rod, and welcome back from vacation. It's good to see you back on the forum. 8)
(no reply please, you're right about getting off topic.) Focus! Must focus!
-
HIJACKERS!
Welcome Kevin. You'll find this a great place for simmers and the staff is the best anywhere. If you get to Misty's place and wind up playing liars dice with spud, watch out...he cheats. Six sixes to ya.

Thanks everyone! I really feel welcomed and look forward to future experiences.

Just because I use my own dice instead of those beer soaked bar set doesn't mean that everything isn't on the 'up and up'. I recall losing a roll or two back in 'ought 6'! ::)

Just like to say G'day to all....I have just installed Orbx Alaska scenery and while reading the manual, discovered this thriving community of kindred bush flying spirits! I'm looking forward to all the exploration and challenges of this amazing part of the planet! :)
-
Hi kevinsue,
Welcome here on RTMM....thank you for saying hello.
Have fun!!
-
Hello Kevinsue,
Welcome to RTMM forum. You've found us! Now the adventure begins. With downloading and installing the libraries, that is. You only need to install the scenery locations that you are interested in, but all libraries must be in place first. So start at the page called "Misty's Place" above, and you'll find the links to all the various aspects of our scenery there. Click on the "Object Libraries" button to begin. Glad to have you in our community.
-
Hi Kev,
Welcome! I look forward to hearing more from you in the future. Have fun!
Rod
-
Welcome Aboard RTMM Kevinsue,
although the start up curve is a tad steep getting all the libraries installed and the various ORBX software will bring you a lot more pleasure and adventure once its complete.
The main thing about RTMM is isn't a one time grab and growl type of experience. You will be here for a long time discovering all the low n' slow adventures.
See you at Mistys Place so you can buy the beer! ;D
8)
-
Hello, did someone say free beer, welcome Kevinsue great bunch of guys here, don't be worried about asking silly or stupid questions, I've already staked claim to that, just enjoy what these band of merry men have put together
-
Welcome to RTMM Kevinsue! As already mentioned by Jeff, start with the libraries and install them all first as instructed. Then it's all ready for you to discover.
Have fun,
Brad
-
I'm pleased to have found this active group!
I hadn't heard of RTMM until yesterday when I was searching for some object libraries to use with my newly-purchased Instant Scenery 3. Didn't take long before I was hooked.
I've been bush flying in MSFS since Emma Field was first published by Lago.
I now have the ORBX NA areas except SAK, and I just bought Tongass Fjords.
I'm running FSX:SE on Windows 10, with DX10.
I'm looking forward to flying with you in this delightful neighbourhood.
-
Welcome jschall,
You'll find more objects in our libraries than you could ever dream of! Have fun with Instant Scenery and if you have any questions about it there's plenty of folks around here who can lend you a hand.
BTW, don't let Spud hustle you at Misty's Place. He's always hitting up new members for free beer. I don't know how he can handle that much beer!
-
jschall is in the house and welcome to RTMM. I as well had Emma Field many moons ago and thought it was awesome. Hope you find everything you need if not just ask.
Looking forward to that free beer and I will buy the Beaver Oil chasers....smooooooth!
-
JSchall,
We can always use new scenery developers around here so if you have Instant Scenery and feel creative, check out our rules for developers and if you're still interested, great.
http://return.mistymoorings.com/about/#r
Enjoy
Brad
-
Wait a minute you guys, you didn't mention to jschall that he has to buy a round at Misty's Place for everyone. Anyway welcome and you'll be hard pressed to find a better bunch. Don't worry about asking dumb questions I've asked them all and they have pointed out the errors of my ways ;)
-
Welcome aboard RTMM jschall,
Just about everything has already been said including the need to host free beer at Misty's Place. Just grab all the required libraries before you start downloading the scenery so it will all work 'out of the box'!
Oh BTW I handle all that beer one glass at a time just like eating an elephant one bite at a time!

-
I'm heading North to Alaska, again.
After a too long absence brought on by my annual crash and unsuccessful foray into Steam I have returned to FSX and my beloved Misty Moorings.
I just finished rebuilding my Orbx West Coast and now I am ready to do the same for Misty.
With the Sunrise at my back this keeps going through my head
My home is in the desert
Where all the plants and critters will cause you some pain
And there is no place here to land my float plane
So it's back to Misty's Place
Where I can enjoy flying in the fog
And the cold cold rain.
-
Hi jschall,
welcome on RTMM!!!!
Did anybody say there`s free beer arriving? ;D
-
Hi jschall,
Welcome. I too remember the Emma Field days. You should really enjoy RTMM.
Rod
Hi GypsyPilot,
Welcome back!
Rod
-
Welcome Back Gypsy Pilot!!
-
Hello jschall. Welcome to the community. That is a nice library, indeed. Welcome back, Gypsy Pilot. Get settled in, and we'll see the two of you at Misty's Place. Thanks for saying hello. 8)
-
Isn't there rule somewhere, when someone is returning to Misty's after being gone for a while they have to buy a round , I think it's in the fine print at the bottom. welcome back Gypsy Pilot.
I know I'm just a bar slut looking for free drinks
-
Gypsy,
Your baaack, good, Misty's Beer!
-
Yes, welcome back Gypsy pilot ....... And I love cold beer ;D
-
Hello pilots
Preston here from Florida...Trying to get back into some low and slow flying!!!! :) I got the Flight Replicas Super Cubs and wanted some good places to fly them..Am disabled so home all day with nothing to do but fly and cook...LOL Would love to have some flying buddy's if anyone can do it..Is RTMM using TS3 now??
-
Hello Preston,
Welcome to the forum. You've found the right place for low-n-slow flying, and cruising the waters in a boat of your choice. So many destinations to explore. We're not the best at hosting a multiplayer environment, but welcome anyone who can pull it off. We've had several attempts at getting something going, but I don't know if a group has formed. I don't think so. I would welcome a dedicated TS for our community. Keep your eyes on the multiplayer thread, and use it to get something going with like-minded pilots. Good luck. 8)
-
Thank you Jeff... RTMM don't have a TS server no more ?
-
Thank you Jeff... RTMM don't have a TS server no more ?
Nope. Server is offline. Last I heard, we had a room at DigitalThemePark. I don't know if it is still active.
PS-This conversation should be conducted in the "Multiplayer" thread, not the introductions thread. Thanks.
-
Hey guys, just signed up, am looking forward to flying in paradise..... also hang on, there may be a few silly questions coming your way...this looks to be a fun place to play....
Jeff
-
Biggu,
welcome aboard RTMM where low n' slow is the rule not the exception. Now worries about "silly questions" as the only silly question is the one not asked!
Just post in the proper forum to make sure it gets seen ASAP.
All that unimportant stuff being said :P we get to the really important part. When will you be at Misty's Place to buy everybody a beer? :o
8)
-
Welcome Biggu! Feel free to ask questions silly or otherwise. We love to hear from our fellow simmers and help each other out whenever possible.
Rod
-
Yay!! Another Jeff. 8)
Welcome to the forum. I like silly questions, they go great with my silly answers. Our forum pages are crammed full of great info, silly questions, and some pictures too. Please have fun. See you at Misty's Place. ;)
-
A big welcome to you Biggu...have fun here and remember to try to post a few screenshots of your running through Misty Mooring, we love to see them.

My name is Brian Smith. I haven't flown on flight sim in quite a while until recently. I became disillusioned with FSX and went back to FS9, then discovered that my son needed me more than Flight sim. He is now 18 and spending his last year here with us before he leaves for University. I used to do scenery design for Misty Moorings and other groups. I also did a lot of repaints, beta testing, and review writing, so if you remember me, great. If not, please say hi.
-
Hi Brian,
Welcome back! I was not active with Misty Moorings so would not remember you, but we are always happy to have members with your scenery design, repaint talents and testing capability. Let us know how we can help you get back in the swing of things.
Rod
-
Thank you, Rod. Yes, I suppose it was a long time ago in a galaxy far far away. Hopefully if my sceneries didn't make the migration, whoever made the new ones was able to use my textures or objects.
-
Hello Brian,
Welcome back home. It has been a long time. I came to the team in 2011, and we were already "Return to Misty Moorings" by then. Get settled in, and take a look around. See if you recognise anything in the scenery, but I doubt any original Misty Moorings got ported over. We are situated over a few Orbx regions now, and fully FSX/P3D compatible. No more FS9 stuff. Was Spud around in the old days? Anyway, Brad and Doug are here. They can fill you in better. See you around the forum. Welcome. :)
-
Hi Brian...
Welcome back home...now you know why we call it RETURN to Misty Moorings. So many of us came back. A few things are different, so let us know if we can give you a hand getting everything running smoothly.
Doug
-
Welcome back Brian,
I am also a more recent adherent to RTMM and missed the FS9 version. Jumped in with both feet when I saw the results behind the concept. Being an old Idaho native (deported to FL) I like 'bush' low n' slow flying and enjoy RTMM very much. Have a good look around the site, (only takes a few weeks!) and you will see that the offerings are second to none that I know of. The scenery guru's on the team constantly are updating their skills and knowledge providing adventures for the members second to none.
Now just meander over to Misty's Place and we'll tip a few. ;D
8)
-
Hello folks,
I am new to the forum. I retired from the FWS several years ago. Part of my time was spent in Alaska where among other things I learned to love low and slow flying. Am looking forward to all that Misty Moorings has to offer.
Williamb
-
Hey... Keep us honest. We want to keep it's real as we can...comments always welcome! Glad you are here.
Doug
-
Hi Bill,
welcome to the epitome of Low n' Slow. Although getting set up (Library installation and some Payware and Freeware scenery) to make it ALL work smoothly. Once your finished with that one time chore you will find the adventure at RTMM very interesting and challenging. Just take your time read the extensive information here at the site, ask questions when you have any doubts and then break out your wallet at Misty's Place to buy everybody a free round (virtual)! :P

Hi troublebluefu , Biggu, Grizzlyair and williamb!

HI Williamb,
Welcome to RTMM. Take your time looking around and enjoy the scenery!!!! Have fun!

Hi Folks,
Joe here. Been flight simming since FS3 or 4. Flying 'low & slow' is my preference. Flew helos ten years in Navy. Spent
another 27 in the Coast Guard 'til I retired (east coast - never made it to AK).
Actually this is the first time I've really been to RTMM. Have been a semi regular contributor to Avsim, SOH, and MAIW
with AC and AI flight plans and repaints through the years.
Got here through 'Tongass Fjords' which I found I "needed' for a CGAS Sitka project I did for MAIW.
Am hooked now. First, off to check out the object/scenery libraries !
Cheers !
-
Hi OldCoastie,
Welcome here on RTMM! Great you found us....have fun exploring RTMM world.
It's good to have a helo flyer here!

Welcome Old Coastie! See you at Misty's Place!! I'm thirsty and you owe us a round as the "Greenhorn".
Have a good time and "Fair Winds and Following Seas".
Brad

Hello Joe,
Welcome to RTMM's forum. Thanks for introducing yourself. There's a lot to discover here on the website. So many destinations to visit too. Let us know if you need help.

Hi Joe,
Welcome! Take your time, look around and have fun! If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. We are a very friendly group.
Rod

Thanks for the welcome, troops! One round of Cuervo Blanco 1800 for all as soon as I 'puddle jump' up there.
(Is there even any that far north ?)
-
Greetings everyone,
Just found this site, looks like great stuff. I love bush flying and the like in my default Maule M-7. I recently acquired the Aerosoft Beaver too so that should be fun.
Kent
-
Welcome aboard OldCoastie and Kento. There's enough things to see and do at RTMM to last 2 lifetimes. Once you download the essential object libraries and install the necessary ORBX and Tongass sceneries you can relax and take things a little bit at a time with installing and exploring the RTMM world scenery. There's a kinds of friendly folk around here to help you at any time, so don't hesitate to ask if you get stuck on something or need advice.
Steve

Hi Tommy,
great you found your way to RTMM.......there are tons of stuff to explore for the helo flyers here.
Our new Alaska Power project APP is heloflyers dream, we have medical operations and locations and we have CIRP we lots of helipads on the glaciers around Stewart CZST. Additionally many other RTMM sceneries provide helipads as well. So there`s a lot to discover for you......
I´m following your B206B3 cockpit building on hovercontrol for a long time. You are kidding calling it a "little" cockpit. It´s a huge effort and great project. It looks really amazing!!!!!!
See you at Misty`s bar....I like my beer ice cooled! :)

Hi Tommy,
Welcome to RTMM! I think you will enjoy it here. After reading Klaus's comments on the cockpit effort, I am going to have to see a pic!
Have fun.

Hi All,
New to RTMM and just recently found the website! Very impressive! I'm Jason Calvert based in Winchester, CA. My brother and I (Tim Calvert) have recently launched a new venture and have created a new virtual air service (www.victoryairservice.com). With permission from RTMM, we would be honored to use some of the great scenery as destinations for our cargo routes and passenger runs.
Our website, air service and schedule are a work in progress and we are expected to be up and running by the end of December. Drop by and check out our website. I'm looking forward to downloading and installing the RTMM scenery. Thanks to the developers for offering this for free and for the continued evolution and improvement of flying in FSX.

Jason, (Tycoon74)
As long as you contact Doug and get the affiliated partnership approval then you could have our permission to include some of our scenery locations for your VA but it needs to be coordinated with Doug. He's the head honcho here.

Hi Jason,
Welcome to RTMM. There is a lot to see so sit back and take your time. Discovery is part of the fun.

Hi Guys,
I thought Christmas had come when I found this site, amazing what you have here. I am working my way through the installation process at the moment. I have one question, is Tongass Fjords X compatible with FSX Steam Edition?
A little about myself, I live in Derbyshire, UK just on the fence of East Midlands Airport EGNX. I spent 36 years in the RAF as an ATC controller. I'm now grey haired and really enjoying the flight sim world. I'm really looking forward to exploring this lovely part of the world.
Regards
Trev
-
Hello Kento, Tommy, Jason, and Trev,
Welcome to RTMM. Thanks for saying hi. This place is a virtual bush pilot's dream. I don't have the Steam edition, but I'm sure it will work fine. Someone correct me if I am wrong. Let us know if you need any help, or you take pictures while you're out exploring. We like to hear of your adventures. ;)
-
Trev...I'd like to know about Steam too. Keep us posted.
Doug
-
Hi Trev,
Welcome here on RTMM......have fun exploring the Misty world . :)
-
Welcome to RTMM Trev. Lots of stuff to see and do around here! Merry Early Christmas.
Steve
-
Welcome aboard Jason and Trev,
RTMM is the best Bush Flying site on the web! At least we like to think so. Low n' slow is the game and adventure is the aim. Just ask if you can't find it on the site (it is huge!)
Let the gang know when to meet ya at Misty's Place for the free beer your going to buy! ;D
8)
-
HI Trev,
Welcome! I don't use Steam so can't answer your question. I know you will have a great time here. Have fun.
Rod

Just like say thank you all for a very warm welcome. This is a real nice place to relax and enjoy life, I'm so glad I found you. Now where did I put my beer!
-
Hi All,
I'm Gary and I live on the south coast of UK. I don't do any real flying and probably never will but I am a keen sim pilot. I've been sim flying since the days of the ZX Spectrum so that gives you some idea of my age.
I'm currently using P3D V2.5 on an average machine. I won Tongass Fjords X in a competition 3 or 4 years ago, I also have the Orbx Southern Alaska installed. I tend not to fly anywhere else now, the scenery has spoilt me :-) I tend to fly the Alabeo C207 bush more often than not but if frames get bogged down I may jump into the default FSX Cessna 172
I do have some considerable experience with 3d modelling and ADE. I'm hoping to be able to contribute to some of the Alaska scenery if work permits.
So, as I said: Hello every one :-)
-
Welcome to this merry band of men, and as always the probie buys the house a round at Misty's. You will not find a more helpful bunch here, if you have any problems with any downloads, I know this for a fact, so have fun and enjoy the efforts the team here has done for us
-
Hi Gary,
Welcome here on RTMM!
There's a lot of stuff to explore...
Do you also have ORBX PFJ region installed? Most of RTMM sceneries are located there...
-
Welcome Gary and everyone else I've probably missed saying welcome too. It's great to see so many new people taking an interest in what we have to offer here at RTMM.
Gary, please contact me with a personal message here in the forums and I can discuss how you can help out with your skills here at RTMM.
Thank you for your offer. It's always great to hear that people want to help out and contribute.
Brad
-
Hello Gary,
Welcome to RTMM. Thanks for stopping to say "hi". So, as Klaus said, do you have the Pacific Fjords region, and the Pacific Northwest from Orbx? Our scenery covers all regions from Vancouver to Homer these days. You don't need all of it right away, certainly. But be aware of that when choosing an RTMM destination. Halibut Cove is in the SAK region, and I highly recommend that one. The CIRP project is in the Glaciers of the Pacific Fjords area, around Stewart, B.C. There are lighthouses and fishing camps to explore also.
Glad to have you aboard, and look forward to seeing anything you wish to contribute. Contact Brad about any projects you have in mind. See ya at Misty's ... ;)
-
Thanks for the welcome folks :)
I don't have the Pacific fjords or Pacific NW yet but at current prices I am planning to get them this month.
Looking forward to exploring.
-
Gary,
welcome to RTMM the "thinking man's" favorite location for flight simming. With the ORBX having their 35% off sale and if your over 65 apply for the 20% discount and PFJ and PNW will be pretty inexpensive. The scenery in the Northwest corner of N.A. is indeed spectacular. Just make a reservation at Misty's Place to buy the gang a beer and we'll meet ya in the 'Great White North'.
8)
-
Thanks spud.
The thinking man's forum, I like that. As it happens I do a lot of thinking, so much in fact you'd think I'd be good at it..........just goes to show: practice doesn't always make perfect.
Not quite 65 yet but the orbx scenery is still damn cheap. If I go down the pub for a few beers with my mates I spend more.
-
Yes, welcome to RTMM. Can't emphasize Spud's comment enough, though. %35 discount on ORBX products until the 1st of the year. Now is definitely the time to get what you need to complete your scenery requirements. Get the wife a zarconia ring instead of that diamond you were looking at. I can't believe I just said that. :P
-
Hey G.K.,
Welcome! Those 3D modeling skills could be especially useful. PM Brad and I am sure he can give you more info.
Rod
-
jsapair, stiletto2.......Hello, good to meet you.
I now have Pacific Fjords 8)
-
Hi, I just joined today although I've been simming since the Commodore days - I'm 66. I currently use P3D v3 and have installed the three recommended ORBX regional areas. Now, I just have to figure out what to do next!
-
WELCOME.... OK, the next thing you do is stay with us here on the forum ... we have plenty of folks who will jump at the chance to help you get started. Go to the "GETTING STARTED" (http://return.mistymoorings.com/getting_started/index.php) web page and that will help you initially. When when you run into a problem, jump into the HELP and TROUBLESHOOTING (http://forum.mistymoorings.com/index.php?board=3.0) area of the forum and post your problem (and you will, everyone does) ... we'll bring you HOME to Misty's Place! This can be an imposing site ... but that's why we have all the people who are helpers and guides to help you through this new wilderness called Return to Misty Moorings. The initial effort put into getting setup will reward you for hours with some of the most beautiful scenery in the world. Welcome aboard!!
NOTAM: For everyone, on the Getting Started Page ... if something is not clear, let us know on the forum so we can make it better for the next person coming on board.
-
Welcome aboard RTMM Rick,
If you have not yet visited the home page (http://return.mistymoorings.com/) be sure and go there as it contains information on all the things you'll need like Tongass Fjords X, all the RTMM Libraries which has all the proprietary object and textures the allow RTMM scenery to display. Start up is somewhat involved and takes a little bit of time and effort but the rewards are certainly worth it.
As Doug already has said the forums are the heartbeat of RTMM. Any questions you have just jump in and ask. There haven't been many that stumped the great bunch of members who gladly share their own knowledge and discoveries with anyone who will just ask.
Now the most important part for each and every "Newbie". Let us know when to meet you at Misty's Place bar so you can buy the beer for the gang!
8)
Later,
Spud
-
That beer sounds good. First round is on me since I learned to love India Pale Ale while spending time in Alaska. I have Tongass Fjords installed along with the ORBX sceneries and they all look great. Now, I just need to get the object libraries installed and move on to the scenery locations. Hey, maybe I'll try flying as well!
I tend to tinker with stuff more than I use it. I had a complex model train set when I was younger and mostly spent my time setting it up but rarely running it! I'm 66 and doubt that will change much.
I spent 28 years with FedEx and sat in the jumpseat of a DC-10 (directly above and behind the captain) many times from Indy to Anchorage. So, I really learned to love Alaska. I'm semi-retired now and teach online from Florida. So, I'm always in front of a computer! Thanks, Rick
-
Hello Rick,
Welcome to RTMM. 8) Happy New Year! ;D

Hi Rick,
Welcome on RTMM!!!!!

Rick,
old FedEx employee huh? Don't miss the FedEx Combined Download Package in the Scenery Download section under "F". Nine locations around AK to deliver and pickup cargo.

Yup, I found that package and have it up and running - thanks!

Hi Rick,
Welcome! You can do a lot of tinkering in the RTMM world! Have fun and don't hesitate to ask questions when needed. In the old days, I was an HO enthusiast and really loved those Athearn engines!

Don't worry about asking dumb or stupid question, I've had that market cornered for some time, thanks for the beer

Another question: a download file with all the sceneries here, is not available, right?

Welcome to RTMM callsign1065!!
No single download has all of the scenery. Take your time and install things one at a time and enjoy as you go along.

Hello Reiner,
Welcome to the RTMM forum. You've landed in bush flying heaven. Once you've gotten the libraries installed, you can begin adding destinations to your simulator. There are plenty of Canadian and US airstrips and cabins to visit. All the way from Vancouver Island, BC to Homer, AK. you can find airstrips, cabins, and marinas, and lighthouses to visit. You can go by floatplane or boat. If you need help, and can't find the answer, just ask. :)

Hi Guys,
Only just found your site, can I use this with P3D v3.1, P3D 2.5, P3D 1.4, and FSX ?
would there be any conflicts with Orbx libs and scenery?
I still have to read all of your pages, where would I start to download stuff, what would I do and it what order?
I have read the User Guide
Ron

Hi Ron,
First of all, sit back and relax. Take a deep breath, blow it out, then repeat if necessary. You should probably begin by reading the instructions provided on the home page, Misty's Place, or various threads on the topic of where to begin.
Welcome to RTMM and the forum. We are happy to help guide you along the path to "bush country". It all starts by installing the libraries. Our scenery is not only Orbx compatible, it requires you to own the Orbx regions you wish to fly in. All our locations are within the Orbx regional boundaries of PNW, PFJ, SAK, and Tongass Fjords by FSAddon. Our locations are compatible with FSX and all P3D versions. So breathe a sigh of relief, and smile slightly (to yourself). You've found us. Oh, and the downloads are in the download section. ;D
-
Hi Jeff,
OK I'm relaxed, printed the guide and reading now.
I have the 4 global ones from Orbx, also North America Pacific Northwest, can I use any of your downloads with these?
Are there any others that you think I should get?
I should point out that I am a pensioner and on a restricted budget here in Western Australia.
Ron

Welcome to RTMM Ron,
besides the Home page information, which is a great starting point, have a look at this:
http://return.mistymoorings.com/getting_started/index.php
It leads you step by step through the process for RTMM to look its best and work the smoothest for you.
These forums have a great deal of information gleaned from several years of user input and advice so use the search function for specific questions and if that doesn't answer any question just pop on and ask.
Now for the important part for all 'newbies' when will you meet the gang at Misty's Place to buy the beer?

Hi Spud,
That is the guide that I printed, so I am starting in the correct place, that's good to know.
How can I get one of the great sig pic's that other members have?
Re the meet at Misty's Place to buy the beer, did I mention that I am a pensioner on a restriceted budget, ok I'll start saving for the beer. :) :)
-
Hello Wombat and Welcome to RTMM.
As Jeff and Spud have already said the basic's for getting up to speed, I'll just say that when we designed our scenery it was meant to fit inside the ORBX FTX Regional scenery packages that Jeff mentioned. Those are "Pacific Fjords", "Southern Alaska" and "Pacific Northwest". And the FSAddon region that meshes in between PFJ and SAK, "Tongass Fjords".
So, were not sure how the objects we placed for our scenery locations found inside those regions will look at the same location inside FTX Global. Not yet at least because not all of us use that product line.
So, if you only have FTX Global and PNW installed at the moment, you'll most likely find that the majority of our locations might not show up in your simulator as they were designed. That is until you get the last three pieces of our coverage area puzzle in place. PFJ, SAK and Tongass.
Off the top of my head, what will work for you right now out of the box with your installation of PNW, I created the "Pacific Northwest Scenery Collection" that's available on our scenery page. That was designed for PNW. Also, I just completed "Vancouver Island Project: North Island". That's also going to fit in with PNW. You can also get "Owikeno Lake" and use that for sure. Doug did a great job as project lead on that one. That scenery alone will keep you interested for awhile. Also look for the scenery in our library by Urs Burkhardt named "Westwood Inn". Nice and challenging place there.
Anybody else have some other PNW suggestions?
Good luck and save those pennies up so you can get PFJ, SAK and Tongass someday. You'll be glad you did.
Welcome again to RTMM.
Have fun,
Brad
-
Also, forgot to mention Wombat that Tongass Fjords is on sale right now for next to nothing. That's an amazing addition you'll be happy with.
Look near the top in our "General discussion" forum for that thread which was posted recently about Tongass being on sale.
Brad
-
Hi brad,
thank you for your feedback, I have also just printed the 17 page Object Library Pages, still reading now.
I will also follow your advice and suggestions.

Hi Ron,
Welcome to RTMM! As you can see, a lot to do here. Have fun!

Hi Rod,
There sure is, i will be away for about 2 weeks so may leave this until I get home again.

Hi Ron and welcome to us. No worries we will be here after you get back in two weeks.
I am always amazed at the depth of RTMM and all it offers, it's brilliant for us who enjoy the low and slow feeling.
-
Thanks for the welcome Robert, I have found time to download the libs so far

I don't remember buying the the beer the first time, it's a bugga when you get old ain't it. :)

Hi,
just gotta blow the old horn today. Just noticed that its been exactly 5 years I've been yackin' at folks here at RTMM.
Time does fly when your having fun. Still the most interesting site for flight simming on the Internet.
RTMM is still going strong and we are working on even more great scenery etc.
Thanks for putting up with this "Grumpy Old Fart all this time. :P ::)

Congratulations Spud! 8) I agree. :)

Hello everyone...
i'm from far far from bush flying land called Poland...i was looking for community that share same interest in bush flying..i hope i've found one here...i'm flightsim bush flying enthusiast.. flying Beaver most of the time and Super Cub lately from time to time..
sorry for my english if i will make any gramma mistakes :)
-
Welcome aboard RTMM,
Bush flying is the game for sure. Getting started takes a bit of effort to install all the required libraries and software but the effort will produce the most extensive and best bush flying scenery available anywhere.
The best way is to start at step one, the home page:
http://return.mistymoorings.com/
The information there has links to just about everything you will require for a successful RTMM experience.
Hundreds of location to visit and explore low and slow.
And of course being the 'new guy' we will all meet you at Misty's Place so you can buy the beer!
Enjoy and keep the shiny side up!
8)
-
(Spud, they might have BETTER BEER in Poland!!!) :-)
-
Of course they do but its a looooonnnngggg flight at 80 Kts. and 1000'.
At least Misty's does have Moosehead beer.
-
Hello falckenhaus,
Welcome to the Return to Misty Moorings forum. Yes, you are in the right place for bush flying. That is all we do around here. Low and slow, and down in the bush. Don't worry about "gramma" mistakes around here. We're pretty good at figuring out what is meant. My gramma makes mistakes sometimes too. ;D Ok, no more gramma jokes. Anyway, let us know if you need any help getting set up for Alaskan bush flying.
(*Gramma=Slang for Grandmother, your mom or dad's mother) ;)
-
Thanks a lot guys! I hope except beer we have few things in common ;) at least we have Moose here too :)
Anyway I've have almost all required soft installed I need just few things straight from RTMM but slowly I should be ready soon. I'm really excited..Once again thx a lot for warm welcome
-
Hi Falckenhaus,
Welcome to RTMM. Your English is just fine. It is certainly good enough to have a great time here at RTMM. There is a lot to see so take your time. Don't hesitate to ask questions if you have them because we have a pretty responsive staff.
Have fun!
Rod

Hi there folks. I've just discovered Misty Moorings, and all I can say is... WOW. Seriously.
You guys have created an absolutely beautiful "world" here! I can't even imagine how much work went into all this.
In real life, I fly for the hometown airline up in Southeast. And while it's great fun flying 737s in and out of places like Juneau, Sitka, Ketchikan, Petersburg etc, I spend a lot of time looking out the window on nice days at all the amazing places we're passing by, and hoping I get the chance to explore it all someday. I was initially skeptical of desktop simulation, but I had no idea how far it had all come - the aircraft, the scenery, the weather... crazy! I've just done a couple RTTM hops, but I can see that your flight plans and scenery will actually be an incredibly fun way to get acquainted with all the terrain I've always wanted to know better. I can tell you the next time I'm descending on the RNP 29 to PAKT I'll be looking up Bostwick inlet and picturing Misty's Place ;-).
The hop I flew was in the Flight Replicas Super Cub (I used to instruct in a Cub, always had a soft spot for them) from Ketchikan to the Anan bear observatory. I did it at dawn, in the fall, in Active Sky Next weather which thankfully wasn't windy up there tonight, but otherwise classic Southeast - ceiling ragged, up and down, in and out of rain showers. Left the door open the whole way... guess there are some advantages to virtual flying ;-).
Anyway, point is, I was blown away at how immersive it all was... the way the cub tended to yaw around in the bumps, the up and down weather, the unbelievable scenery, ORBXs and yours. And the storytelling you put into it.
Sincerely guys, thanks. REALLY well done, you've knocked it out of the park with all of this. I look forward to lots of exploration!
-
Hello Stearmandriver,
Welcome to Return to Misty Moorings. Thanks for the kind words. This site has been growing over the years, and we too are sometimes amazed at the size of it. Much to explore. Remember to pack out your trash, and don't feed the bears. ;)
-
Welcome aboard Stearmandriver,
low n' slow is RTMM in a nutshell. Glad your enjoying the efforts of the developers who try to bring the best adventures going 'here to there'.
Once your flight is complete its nice to just sit back and enjoy the great scenery provided by ORBX. When compared to default FSX the world is so much closer to the actual beauty you see every day although from much higher.
Oh, yeah, see you at Misty's Place so you can buy the beer!

Hello falckenhaus!
Welcome here on RTMM....have fun exploring the RTMM world.
-
Hello Stearmandriver!
Welcome to RTMM.
It's great having a real pilot flying in the area of our RTMM world.
Take your time exploring the places and sceneries our great developpers offer for us. It is so much fun flying in this virtual world.
But flying in the real world there must be outstanding.
-
Welcome, Stearmandriver! If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. We are a very friendly group! Have fun!
Rod
-
Welcome to RTMM Stearmandriver and Falkenhaus. And anybody else I've missed. I've been away placing hangars, signs, pipes. You know. Work..
Heading up to the PNW in July/August. Going to Portland, Seattle, Vancouver, then on a 7 day Glaciers Cruise on Princess. Following that up with five days of sightseeing around Denali, Anchorage, Seward. Can't wait. I'll be flying from KMCO into KSLC, KPDX and then back out of PANC for KMSP, KMCO on Delta.
Thanks for taking an interest in RTMM and if you need any assistance, just ask.
Have fun,
Brad

Hello from Alna, Maine. I was stationed at a radar site in Alaska in the mid 70's and became friends with several bush pilots. I remember listening to stories of their adventures and thinking I would have loved bush flying as well. Such as life, I left the state and never got a chance to go on a flight. Thank you RTMM for giving me this chance.

Steve, many thanks for all the welcomes and I'll sure see how things go as I install Misty's add-ons and report any thing that doesn't seem right, but I haven't had any issues with OrbX, or any other scenery or aircraft with FSX-SE. I'm a happy SE user for sure. I'll buy the beer as soon as I find the club house bar folks.

The bar is at Misty's Place airfield, you can't miss it, it'll be the one everyone is walking into, waiting for ya'
-
Hi Phil,
Welcome to RTMM. We are a hearty bunch of bush pilots (virtually, mostly), and really enjoy getting in and out of all the nooks and crannies of the Alaskan coastline. It is usually a personal experience, that can be shared with pictures or videos, and stories. We're pretty "multiplayer challenged" though, and can't seem to group up. Not that we don't want to, but we are an international crowd with a wide variety of time zones etc. between us. We are partnered with two virtual airlines though, which is not multiplayer. But you can fly structured flights, and log your hours for virtual "money". There is St. Paul Airlines and also Fly Alaska (aka Alaska Adventures) virtual airlines. They both offer great tours and routes, as well as hosting various fly-in events.
Now for the important part. You can find the bar at Misty's Place, just a couple miles southwest of Ketchikan airport. (install Misty's Place, the hub of activity for the Ketchikan bush pilots). It is all virtual, of course. So don't bring real money, it's no good here.
Again, welcome to the community. Take some time to read the background story about Misty's Place and who the heck Misty is anyway. You'll be glad you did.
-
The bar is at Misty's Place airfield, you can't miss it, it'll be the one everyone is walking into, waiting for ya'
I found it! But no money folks; I'm broke after filling up the Pawnee with AVGAS at Misty's prices.
I suppose it costs a fortune to haul 100 octane into Misty's. Can I get credit at Misty's Bar please? :-)
-
Can I get credit at Misty's Bar please?
You can see Misty about some dishes that need washing, and the buildings need painting, ... and the runway needs smoothing out too. ;)
(You do know those buildings should not be black, don't you? We'll have to get that fixed.)
-
Sure looks like a missing Library object doesn't it? Phil, have you installed the Scenery Object Tester?
Link to the download:
http://return.mistymoorings.com/object_libraries_build/#objtest
8)
-
He's not missing the object. It's a texture issue. If the object was missing you wouldn't see a black looking building and wouldn't see at all anything at the location. Most likely it's the old duplicate texture syndrome.
-
Phil,
FSXP3D ez-vintage_hangers.bgl is the library that contains the object that looks black. You obviously have this library installed since we can see the shape of the building but it's all black. Now do a system search for the following files which define the textures that the building object needs:
BROWN RUST 128.DDS
HANGER OLD 2 A.DDS
HANGER OLD 2 A_LM.DDS
HANGER OLD 2 B.DDS
HANGER OLD 2 C.DDS
RUSTY METAL BLUE.DDS
RUSTY METAL GREEN.BMP
SCRATCHED METAL YELLOW.DDS
Do a Windows system search for each file. If you have more than one copy of any or all of these on your system, then this probably indicates your problem. If so, post back and we'll help you through the process of what you need to do.
Steve
-
Actually, I only mentioned the black objects in passing. I didn't want to "fix it" here in the introductions thread. Let's have him start a new thread to address the issue. ;)

Hello bowserbob,
Welcome to RTMM!

Hi my name is Ivan, Slough UK. I have been a virtual VFR and glider pilot for the last 5 years or so. Recently moved over to FSX:SE and have not encountered any problems so far installing Orbx and Misty's sceneries. Used a consolidated library as it was easier to fix the duplicates with your program.
I have done two short flights from Misty's, the scenery was amazing with challenging landings. My amph is a Real Air Citabra with floats.
-
Hello bowserbob and Ivan,
Welcome to the Return to Misty Moorings forum. Glad you're enjoying the scenery. There are many beautiful and challenging landings to be had.
See you at Misty's Place for that obligatory round of drinks. ;)

Ok, ... OK,
we need to point out that all are required to buy the beer at Misty's Place as a rite of passage into RTMM.
I'm in the midst of vast HD problems and have been a bit busy to keep the nuggets on the straight and level.
Going back to the shop tomorrow to get things back in line with this poor ol' HD.
Meanwhile welcome aboard RTMM for all the new low n' slower's checking in.

Welcome Ivan. Enjoy all your flights around RTMM and if you find the time keep us posted of your journeys and screenshots are always welcome.

Hi All
I've been flight simming on and off for a lot of years starting with 'just flight'. I gave up on FSX a couple of years ago because i had the crashing problem and I just could not fix it. (Shame on you MS!)
But last year, after watching a couple of you tube vids I was impressed with the strides made in terms of quality of scenery I decided to give P3D a go and I am well happy with it. Most of my scenery is ORBX and I love to fly the OZ Grumman Goose around Alaska and Scotland.
I'm an Englishman retired in the Caribbean and it's fun to fly around in some mountains and snow when it's roasting outside.
Believe it of not, I found RTMM only a few weeks ago and I appreciate the time and effort you guys at RTMM have put into this facility - it makes Alaska come alive and I love it. I've nearly finished all the Legacy flights and loved them. I look forward to many more hours of enjoyment thanks to you guys.
Keep up the good work. I wish there were more like-minded individuals for other parts of the world.
Love and peace
Josh

Howdy,
New user saying hello. Real world helichopter pilot, but love to fly bush in FSX. Here to learn and have fun. Own a 208 EX on FSeconomy so I'm looking to set up shop in AK somewhere. Also looking to buy a 185 in the future. Just need more of that $$$$. Looking forward to many adventures in Misty Moorings!
-
Hi, welcome aboard RTMM. Low n' slow is king and bush flying is the game. Once all the required libraries and scenery are acquired you will have the best bush flying experience available for FSX/P3D.
Now let us know when you'll be at Misty's Place so we can grab the free beer your going to provide!

Hi jjsemperfi,
Glad to have a fellow rotorhead on board.. ;) When you happen to fly a chopper in the RTMM world and want some extra challenging touchdowns, try Kildala Pass for suspension pinnacle landings or landable boats for moving helidecks .. If you miss, you'll only break your rotorblades here, virtually, not your pocket, life or limbs.. hence can still limp to treat the gang at Misty's Place for a round of beer. No excuse there! ;D

Hi, Anton here and I'm new to RTMM after 9 years with OZx and Orbx, flying in all types of a/c. Favourites now are RA Lancair Legacy V2 with GTN750s', QW757, AS BeaverX, PMDG 737NG and Alabeo R77 heli.
I have already been enjoying the Alaskian Experiance via orbx's PNW, SAK and Global LC together with LCNA and Vector with Pilots Global Mesh 2010 for FSX. I have stuck to FSX (now SE version) for reasons of compatibility with so many addons'. I have been looking forward to adding both Tongass FjordsX and RTMM for quite some time now and have finally began the journey having just purchased Tongass FjordsX from Aerosoft and have began what I'm hoping is a long and fruitful journey.
So off for my first flight from PAKT to Misty's. Cheers for now
-
Hello Anton,
Welcome. Thanks for saying hi. It sounds like you're all set for adventure in the bush. (and the sky) Glad to have you on board. Fly safe. ;)

Hello Anton,
Welcome to RTMM....Have fun exploring the RTMym world. There's so much stuff to discover you will enjoy it.
Misty's place is a good starting point for your flights. It's RTMM main base and you are in range of lots of RTMM sceneries from it.
Great also fly heli's in FSX. I only fly the choppers.....I love the sound of rotors and the way helos behave in flight.....I guess the heli you mentioned is the Robinson R66 from Alabeo?

Thanks for your welcome and Jeff. Your right Robinson haven't upgraded their jet chopper yet, I did mean the R66. I have now had a flight from Ketchikan to Misty's Place in the Amp AS Beaver X with several water and land landings. Great place, makes me wonder if it exists or just fictional. Either way absolute fun in the sim, I used local weather via Active Sky Next and there was plenty of mist to live up to the reputation.
With PFJ, SAK, Tongass Fjords x and now MM it's another world. I have just installed Misty Air Taxi so will whip up to SAK for a look around and try the Trip Tic before coming back down to explore the original MM world.

Anton,
always great when experienced FSX/ORBX scenery veterans come to RTMM and find all the great places the team have designed to expand the FS experience to both real world and fictional destinations in the 'bush'. Misty's Place is fictional but the center of the RTMM world so to speak.
As you have already made it to Misty's we'll meet you there for that free beer your going to buy!! ::) ;D

Welcome JJSemperfi and Anton!

Hi all. Been flight simming since my first Commodore 64 in the '80's. Now I have 3 networked computers running 7 monitors. And an iPad for charts and other "stuff". And a very large coffee pot. Anyhow, I digress...
I never did bush flying much in my sims. Being retired Air Force (now) I was more into the "faster" aircraft (even though I've had my PPL since I was 18). I have all the ORBX sceneries for the RTMM area, and decided a couple days ago to try some of the RTMM stuff. I...Have...Been...Assimilated. Geez!!! I even went out and bought a payware Beaver yesterday. And I've never paid for a beaver in my life before (wait...wrong forum...). So watch out for the new guy buzzing your scenery at 50' AGL with pontoons now (at least when I'm not creating dust devils hovering over it in my helicopters).
Seriously, I had no idea RTMM would enhance my ORBX experience in the RTMM area as much as it has. I am flying to places there now that I would have NEVER gone to myself in the past, and seeing the scenery in a whole new light. Thanks to all the developers here who have contributed to this project. Simply amazing work. :D
-
Welcome to the fold FalconAF. There's new and exciting adventures waiting for you in RTMM Land that will keep you busy for a lifetime. Lot's of cool stuff waiting in the wings. Have fun!
Steve
-
Falcon we'll forgive the Air Force thingy! ;D (Go NAVY :P)
Low n' Slow is the best way to watch the Great ORBX and Addon (Tongass X) scenery go by.
Although its not a real location try the 'Hang em' High' scenery ... That's Bush Flyin'.
Of course you will meet the gang at Misty's Place so you can furnish the beer ASAP ;)
Welcome Aboard!

@Spud
OK, I'll forgive the Navy thing too. But we Air Force men don't drink beer. That's just so......Neanderthal. I'm gonna have to ship a case of Chivas Regal scotch to Misty's Place for when we all meet there. ;D
Just installed the HangEmHigh (you are such a bad influence!!!). Gonna go try not to fall off a cliff.

Been a Chivas and Pinch man for longer than I like to remember but Misty's only has a beer license! :(

Welcome Falcon!! My old man retired USAF E-9. He was a CMSGT crew chief at MacDill AFB when they had a bunch of F-4 "Phantoms" squadrons over there.
Doug and I were recently interviewed on Flightsim.com about RTMM and how this all came about if you're curious. We have a great team of people here that share the passion for "Beaver's" and "Bush"!!!

We're always appreciative of your kind words and enthusiasm.
See you at Misty's,

Yo Falcon, glad to have you here and already enjoying all the goodness. Chivas... Could go well with Beaver oil!
-
Hi everyone,
I'm new here - well actually, I signed up last year, but it's only now that I've finally managed to spend some time with the RTMM sceneries and in the forums.
I've seen only a fraction of it so far, but I'm already amazed at what is available here. The sceneries are incredible with lots of details to discover. A work of passion, without a doubt! So, first of all a big Thank You! To all the creators who have made this possible. It's wonderful to see the flight sim community so alive. :)
As far as FS goes, I've spent a lot of time with X-Plane lately, which has plenty of high quality freeware to offer, as well as some other advantages... But overall I love coming back to FSX/P3D for the stunning addons. As a huge fan of A2A aircraft I eagerly await the upcoming Connie, but currently I enjoy flying the CAC Winjeel by Ant's Airplanes as well as the C-47 by Manfred Jahn & Team.
Anyway, I'll be starting my PPL training next spring - if everything goes as planned, in a 1945 Piper L4. Until then I'm going to be busy discovering the various RTMM locations. Time to get the A2A Cub out of the hangar... :D
Cheers!

Welcome Steve. Lots to see, lots to discover, lots to explore in a whole lifetime! Feel free to ask questions if you have any to ask.

Hello Falcon and Don Quixote,
Welcome on RTMM have fun exploring the Misty World.
See you at Misty's.... ;)
-
Welcome aboard Don Q. training in an L4 "Grasshopper" couldn't get any more 'basic'. I will say in my experience it will make you a much better pilot when your ready to solo. Stick and Rudder flying and the little wheel in back puts you heads above learning in the modern span cans used now. I had some time in an Aronica Sedan before entering Naval Flight Training so the transition to the SNJ (T6) wasn't too bad.
It wasn't until multi-engine training in SNB (Twin Beech) that I discovered you could kill yourself. First landing at NOLF Choctaw touch and go landing on R/W 36 and after re-gaining control of the swerve took off on R/W 04!
Enough war stories see ya at Misty's so you can but the gang that free beer.

Hello Steve,
Welcome to RTMM, the forum. Thanks for finally popping your head in to say "hi". Good luck with your PPL training, and also with discovering the wonder that is Alaska. See ya around the forum. ;)
-
Welcome FalconAF,
I, too, was initially on Commodore 64 and Amiga. I also used to love flying the fighter jets (e.g. Falcon 4.0). But, ultimately, became a low and slow fan. However, now and then, I will switch to the F22 and fly nap-of-the-earth at 1,000 kts in the Western Chugach mountains of Alaska. With P3D, a fast processor, a GTX980 and the low density of the scenery (e.g. The Western Chugach) my system can just manage to repaint the scenery in real time and resolve it just before I get there. It is a hoot!
Have fun with RTMM.
Rod
-
Thanks Rod. I'm having a ball with RTMM in my helo's and the payware Beaver I bought for it. I'm going to places I would have never seen in the ORBX sceneries without RTMM.
Got a little frisky last night though. I also have a payware Twin Otter. I'm pretty good at flying it, so thought, "What the heck. I can get this thing into Misty's Place. No Problem!"
They are still recovering the wreckage from the rocks at the northern end of the runway. The after-landing rollout was a little longer than I anticipated. ;D
-
It has been awhile since its been mentioned but if you really want to experience the ORBX/RTMM scenery in an entirely different way take one of the boat trips:
http://www.return.mistymoorings.com/moorings/index.php
They have all kinds of goodies to see and hear just don't get too close to some of the wild life!

Hello one and all. I've been involved on and off with MSFS since the late '80s. Recently I purchased an Oculus Rift virtual reality headset and have been having a blast using Dan Church's software FlyInsideFSX along with A2A's Piper Cub. I like having some structure and RTMM seems like a perfect way to do that with the Cub! Thanks for making this available and all of the hard work that has gone into it!
-
Hello Pkwaite,
Welcome to RTMM. Thanks for saying "hi". I am using the HTC Vive with P3dv3.4.9. It is like finally being able to get "into" your airplane. Full immersion. I love it. Happy flying to ya. 8)

Welcome Don Quixote & Pkwaite! This is a great place and there is a lot to see. If you have questions don't hesitate to ask. We are a friendly group!

Welcome aboard RTMM Pkwaite,
now its time to jump out of your A2A cub and meet the group a Misty's Place. She just got another truckload of beer delivered so newbies can buy us all a drink! ;D

Hi all!
I'm Adriano from Rome, almost 45yo, back to fight simulation after years (I started with Sublogic Flight Simulator for CBM64)
I just bough all the scenery packs (Tongass and the 3 ORBX) and this evening I'll try installing the objects. I'm sure this will be a very long, possibly endless adventures. I liked this project since my very first visit to this website. My plane of choice will be the Aerosoft DH Twin Otter extended for his STOL properties.
I'll be back soon with the first impressions.
Ciao!
Adriano
-
Adriano ... don't forget, we are here to help you. Getting started with RTMM is a bit of a chore, so if you have any problems along the way, PLEASE just ask we've gotten hundreds of folks through the process. We want to see you safely in our skies! Welcome.
Doug

Welcome, Adriano!
Rod

Thank you for the warm welcome!
I'll let you know about any problem I could find during the setup process
Cheers!
Adriano
-
Ahh, more free beer at Misty's Place! Adriano, welcome aboard RTMM. Getting the Libraries installed is always the first step now that PNW, PFJ and SAK and Tongass are in place. Most of the actual scenery locations in RTMM install pretty quickly.
Spent 2 weeks in your beautiful city while on a Med. cruise in the U.S. Navy. Had my wife come over and follow the ship to our ports of call. Rented a Vespa in Rome and we went everywhere, great time.
-
Actually I had many Vespa in my life, before the birth of my now three years old daughter! It's a great smoking piece of metal indeed!
Remaining in theme of cruise ships, I spent an hour yesterday to solve a weirdness in my Tongass installation: near Sitka airport I was having trees where water was supposed to be and among them a cruise ship! Surely a beautiful view but quite psychedelic I'd say...
The problem was that there were two terrain.cfg files in P3D and I was seeing all the tongass entries were in place in one but eventually I discovered the other terrain.cfg files under C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3 was not updated and it was the one that needed appending the tongas entries to have everything work!
Now I'm adding the RTMM files, I didn't find so far any hint about where to place them in P3D. I'm looking for it
Ciao!
Adriano
-
Our 'standard' answer on placement is P3D/Addon Scenery/Misty Moorings/ ..... If you put all the RTMM stuff in there, then it won't get mixed up with the rest of your virtual world.
When you are starting to put the RTMM locations in, most people are lured by the alphabetical listings on the scenery page and start at "A". Misty Moorings is almost a "sub world" ... and adding each one like that becomes more of a task than a pleasure.
I suggest you go to the "Go To Table" and find an AREA to put in to enjoy. Do you like flying Tongass? Then use the table search for TFX and everything in Tongass will show up. Or perhaps you'd like all flights connected with Misty's Place ... Type "Misty' Place" into the search box. This give you a list of all flights coming out of that location. This is a nice group to have.
Go to the Here2There page .... the buttons in the table at the top will get you headed in many great directions. There is a button for the GoTo table there. Click on it and start exploring.
Another way is put in the "multiple location" groups. On the GoTo Table, you'll see these listed in Dark Red. One of these is "Missing Cabins" ... if you add those, along with the cabins already in your computer from Tongass X, PFJ and SAK, you will have over 400 locations to fly to by just putting in the ONE addition. Owikeeno is another "group" that has over 30 locations in it.
Use the GoTo table to find what you would LIKE to fly ... short trips, long trips, easy, hard, etc. The table can help you select your preferences...you can search on ANY of the columns there. Also the "Map" link for each location will give you a map route to that location. That will give you an idea of that is the kind of flight you would like to take.
Pick something you would enjoy flying, put it in, then forget about all the rest of the RTMM world and fly what you've downloaded. Many of these (like the cabins) will keep you entertained for DAYS! When you have finished or want to move on, go back to the table and pick another. But don't try to add all of the RTMM scenery locations ... that's a CHORE! This should be FUN and you should do the MINIMUM to have the MAXIMUM fun from your sim.
Enjoy, Doug
-
Thank you Dough! Actually I think I've installed almost everything! Maybe I missed Owikeeno since I don't remember that name during my search for all the objects nor I couldn't find the link so far (I'll keep searching)
The scenery object tester is perfect, I just miss the roof of the green hangar (number 5) that is shown as a wire frame (what could be the reason?). Everythinbg else, crane and blue wave container etc is showing perfectly.
I've already flown some short trip to a pair of cabine near Sikta, I'm literally flabbergasted by the amount of things to discover in this incredible Misty universe!
Now I'm going to try some flight plan!
A presto!

Hi,
I'm René, from eastern France, back again, had to reinstall Windows 7 64bits and just migrated to P3D v3 latest version. Ive kept FSX, just in case, but the graphic differences are obvious, looks like a completely new simulator ( with also a brand new graphics board ). I just finished to reinstall about 100 RTMM sceneries, rediscovering the whole areas, Needless to say, fantastic eye candies and appreciating even more the great job you guys all did and still keep doing. The AK panhandle and BC will definitely stay my favorites places for VFR flying, along with the Aerosoft Beaver and RTMM, of course.
Keep the good things rolling, see you soon,
René
-
Welcome Rene' ... great to have you on board. If you have any questions, just ask.
Doug
-
Hello Rene,
Welcome to RTMM. It sounds like you're rolling along smoothly. Happy flying. Yes, P3D is the future of FSX. I, too, have FSX installed still. But I haven't fired it up in ages. I should uninstall it. ;)
-
Hello Rene,
welcome aboard RTMM! Have fun exploring the RTMM world... :) It's a huge area to discover.
Installing all the RTMM staff is the starting point...we know this takes some time, but when you have all the sceneries on your system you will enjoy beautiful flying time in the virual alaskan skies.
It's now 3 months ago I changed from FSX to P3dv3 and this was the right decision for me. P3d is a total new experience even for the helicopter simpilots like me......
-
Welcome, Lysander and Rene!

Salutations de France :) :) :)
My name is Vincent from Roanne near Lyon.
I practice simulation for a long time and I love to "fly" in Alaska with your beautiful scenes. My dream is to visit your state (in truth). But I know your country well for having visited it many times.
I have my PPL but I have not been flying for 3 years.
See you soon in the sky

Hi Vincent! Alaska is definitely a beautiful place (if I do say so myself!). Have fun flying in RTMM.
Ryan

Hello Vincent,
Welcome to RTMM, the forum. Thanks for saying "hi". Many fun adventures are to be had in the Misty Fjords of Alaska and British Columbia. Whether flying or boating, the surroundings are breathtaking everywhere you look. (watch out for bears).
I will be joining Ryan in the cafe. I prefer a cup of tea or coffee when I put my feet up. ;)
-
Thank you so much for your hospitality.
I see that the good habits are the same everywhere in the civilized world ...... I will follow your advice, "slow and low" ....
But sorry RYAPAD, I much prefer a good beer to a root beer That I drink to your health.....
See you a mysty place ......

Hello everyone.
I am fwouedd, a beginner in flightsim particularly interested in VFR bush flying.
As my English suggests, I am French (one more), I live near LFMH (St Etienne precisely).
I practice mainly on P3D (with the Alabeo C207), from time to time on xplane (for the fantastic beaver by SMS especially).
And I want to thank you for all the very good advice and discoveries I make on your forum.
See you soon.

I wonder why they called it "beer"? (... and what roots do they make it from, exactly?) ???
Hello Mike, and welcome to RTMM. 8)

They must not have sassafras trees in the North West. The roots are wonderful smelling, and when boiled, taste like weak root beer. Sassafras tea anyone?
-
:o Oh yeah, sassafras! I hate sassafras. It tastes like bad licorice to me. :o ... but a root beer float is creamy goodness. No, we don't have sassafras trees here, as far as I know. :-\ ;)

Hello Mike. I got a crate of Root Beer at PAKT. I forgot to bring to Misty's place before I left for Masset. Anybody's aloud to bring all 50 pounds of it (I ordered too much) on a short hop to Misty's if they would like.

I like Root 🍺
Welcome Mike, pull up a chair and relax and enjoy all that RTMM has to offer.
-
I grew up with Hires and A&W root beer but they changed over the years. Theu got weaker and I'm guessing it was when they removed the caffeine (if they actually had any to start with - not something you pay attention to as a kid!). Barq's still adds it and the drink has far more bite to it. Couldn't tell you when I last had any root beer, though. It's usually ginger ale now.
-
Here is a cut n' paste from the link in my previous post in this thread.
Yep things changed in 1960 as the Government started taking "care" of us with more 'regulations and restrictions'.
"Then, in 1960, everything changed. The sassafras root, a key ingredient in root beer, was ironically banned by the U.S. Food And Drug Administration because it was found to be a carcinogen. Root beer was no longer considered to be good for you, nor did it have any roots in it. Companies then found artificial flavors to preserve the flavor of the sassafras root without actually using the banned ingredient. This experimentation led to the root beer flavor we know and love today."
8)
-
They force fed 2,000 lab rats the equivalent of 9,000, 16 oz. bottles of sassafras based root beer a day over the course of an entire year. 3 of them got cancer. The rest of them gained 20 lbs. Thus the sassafras removal. This gave some other genius the idea to run the same tests on saccharin, producing the same result. So long saccharin as well. Then they tested DDT.....
-
One day they'll figure out that the water is what's giving them cancer and put it onto the carcinogen list.
-
Hi everyone, well I'm not exactly "new" and I bet I already know a lot of people here going way back to the CFS and Emma Field days. I've been out of flight simming for a while but forgot how fun it is so am glad to be back. These days it won't be hard to find me flying helis in the sim. :)
Have a great day,

Welcome Jmac!
Rod

Ha! been so long that I might as well say "I'm new here too".
Finally got the system running again. First it had to be re-formatted and WIN10 re-installed. Got it home and less than 3 weeks late it stopped recognizing any input devices (mouse, keyboard etc.) Back to shop and again a wipe of WIN and programs, re-install WIN 10 and then I had to re-install all the programs so the files would work. Of course I lost all scenery and have spent two days installing 70+ ORBX scenery files.
Now the long slow process of getting RTMM files back and running. Anymore problems like this again and I'm going to take up drinking instead of simming. :o >:( ;D
;)

well, here I am, back , this time to actually download and do something, finally got a great computer that will handle all this incredible stuff going on here....... and I'm sure the silly questions will come forward.... I LOVE Alaska and live in southern B.C. looking forward to a great time with everyone...and some great flying....

Well, this maybe not so easy for me, I'm just an old truck driver, a lot of what is required here for installation is a little complicated for me...... and I really don't want to make a mess of this...... hhhmmm

WELCOME BACK Sir SPUD and BIGGU. New/fixed rigs gets you back into the RTMM AIR!, that is after you buy the 1st round at Misty's.
Norm

Welcome Biggu. If you get stuck, confused or need help with anything don''t hesitate to ask. There's lot's of knowledge around here. Have fun!
Steve
-
I guess my enthusiasm was a tad premature. I'm getting an out of memory error after a few min. flying after finally getting all the ORBX and OZx scenery re-installed. Not much sense in installing RTMM until I solve the current problem. I waited 3 years after release of FSX to port over from the old FS and I have spent well over 60% of keyboard time and effort dicking around solving problems with this PissPoor simulator. Was never completed by M$ prior to release and never properly "fixed" by them just crutch, patch, fiddlin' and poken' but users since day one.
I'd get P3D but reading all the problems users have with that sim as well I'm not gonna be another "Alpha" tester for Lockheed Martin.
>:(
-
Huh? ??? What problems with P3D? Prepar3d version4 runs very well for me, as long as the addons I use are compatible. The sim is stable and 64 bit. No OOMs or CTDs or BSODs or WTFs. So ... what problems?
Hello Biggu (Jeff),
Welcome back for another go at it. We love to help fellow pilots get up and running. The forum is packed with years of accumulated knowledge and troubleshooting, etc. Use the search function to find key words to topics of interest. If you can't find a solution, just ask. That's what we are here for.

Thanks for the kind words and welcome, I did download some of the 'essentials' yesterday, and I thought I had most of it in hand, then as I am NOT a computer 'geek ' ( used with respect) I got so bogged down in the , what I thought was the technical jargon.... I kind of gave up.. well sort of....... I did watch a video or two of guys flying here, and it is truly awesome..... I'm always very leery of deleting files etc, so as not to screw up what I already have, as I can do that quite well, then I am diddled....... maybe I'm just too timid.... I will go back a read more of the 'how to' stuff... but there seem to be a lot of how to.... not complaining , just need to understand...... I guess if I can operate a huge road grader with no steering wheel and become an instructor , I can figure this out, eh?? LOL!! Thanks again fellows, I will give it a go... with luck.... and some good advice...... :-\
Jeff
-
Just start at the beginning by downloading and installing all of the object libraries. Can be a pain, but absolutely essential. Then download a few sceneries that are compatible with the ORBX and Tongass Fjords you own. Take it slowly at first. If you get stuck anywhere post in the Help and Troubleshooting Forum (http://forum.mistymoorings.com/index.php?board=3.0) and you should get help ASAP.

Hi all, Im John from New Jersey and wanted to stop by to say thanks to my buddy Danny who introduced me to this awesome place, Keep up the good work. Anyways, I've been a virtual pilot for over 15 yrs or so, I have FSX-SE, but I will be a proud owner of P3Dv4 very soon....!!
Thanks guys,
JohnR

Hi John,
Welcome to the forum. You're buddy is a wise man. ;) There are many things to explore in the forum, and years of knowledge frozen in time, for you to absorb at your pace. Take a look around, and let us know if you've got a question. You're gonna love P3dv4! 8) Happy flying, sir! :)
-
Welcome, John!
-
You're one of us now John. Remember, "You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave"
See you at Misty's and welcome aboard.

I'm Robert from Virginia. I'm sort of new, coming from FS9 last where I flew with the original Misty Moorings. I skipped FSX all together and basically stopped simming for a few years. Now, I've got a new computer build with P3D. Things have come a long way since I was using FS9.
I'm a real-world Commercial pilot, although now medically grounded. I think I can find a lot of enjoyment in the new site. Hopefully, I can get everything installed with no issues.
-
Welcome, Robert!
It is great to have members with commercial pilot experience. We are a friendly group as you probably know from your participation in the old Misty Moorings site. If you do have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
Rod

Hi Robert,
Welcome to Return to Misty Moorings, ... er, welcome back! Get settled in, and help Misty with the dishes. If you need anything, just ask. We are happy to help. The motto around here is "Low and Slow" and "It's the journey, not the destination". That's all there is to it. Happy flying, Sir! 8)

Welcome Robert and John ...
John, if you are thinking about P3D V4 ... I've just gone through that. You can go to this url for our FAQ on the transition. Basically, if you look at #5 in the index, I've kept a log of all that I did and how I did it ... including a few speed bumps along the way. You may not do it exactly as I did, but it might give you some ideas. As I continue to go forward, I keep adding to this log.

My name is Jeff but sometimes people call me (Jethro). Just registered on the rtmm forum and coming here to say Hello. It will take some time to read through all the topics, but glad to be here all the same.
Cheers to all :)
-
Hello Jeff,
My name is Jeff Too. Nobody ever calls me Jethro. Welcome to the forum pages of RTMM. Thanks for taking the time to read the contents. Much appreciated. Glad to have you aboard. Let us know if you need any help getting set up. See you at Misty's Place for that obligatory round. ;)
-
Thanks for the welcome Jeff,
(and spelled the right way too)
Jethro is Just a nickname but I think it makes me sound like a no shoes, rope-belt wearing, cob pipe smoking, hillbilly. Nothing like me (IRL). If I come down out of them there hills, I'd be glad so shout a jug or two at Mistys. (moonshine that is) But beer is fine if M/S is too strong.
I have been around and under the hood of FSX for quite a while and have been over at (ORBX where I try to help sometimes) I had the great pleasure to help RTMM/Team - Doug (JDLinn) with his Avoss lake issue not too long ago (Orbx Forum).
I mostly have the sim stuff sorted and working nicely, but can always learn some new perspectives and viewpoints from the good people here.
I'm only just starting out with a few essentials (updates/addons/patches) for my recent purchase of TFX, have only just begun to scratch the surface on all the great stuff I have missed so I guess I'll be downloading Reading Installing testing more reading..... and flying for the next little while.
Be very glad of your assistance if I get stuck.......
Cheers Jeff (Jethro)

Hi Jethro,
Welcome to RTMM!
Rod
-
Welcome to the land of RTMM Jethro. You'll find as most do, this is one of the most scenic areas in the world to fly. And the RTMM add-ons: makes this area come alive!! Enjoy sir.
Norm
-
Many thanks Rod & Norm, Just had a brilliant flight from Sitka to Wrangell, with short detour over Petersburg. (And your right Norm, absolutely stunning scenery). I always liked Petersburg (circa: FS9 & SIRP), now I can see that you guys have CIRP and SIRP for FSX so I'm going to try those first.
-
Welcome Jethro. We have some scenery in the Homer, Alaska area that you need to check out. :)
Steve
-
Thanks Steve, I'll look into those as well, thanks for the tip.
-
Hey there "Jetho Jeff"
These CIRP areas sure make a real fun fly in the dead of winter!! (Or sooner).. but it's nice to have lots of snow!
Might want to crack out those DHC2, C185 Ski/wheels or M7/ski/wheels and give them tuneups for winter excursions into both the CIRP and SIRP. And on the fields themselves dare to take the new updated Stalwart and soon to be released, the updated hovercraft, (both with model compatibility with P3Dv4x), for a trip into these ice fields. Doug has some very interesting CIRP FP and dispatches here on the site for the CIRP.
Start with getting all the RTMM object libraries, Med/APP Library and the BWEP Library into the sim and added as well as making sure the scenery test at PANT is perfect before adding the rest of the add-ons.
Norm
-
Many thanks Norm, a fantastic welcome and some top notch advice.
I have the RTMM Libraries I II & III + BWEP Libs, MED/APP Libs, and am going to install the Objects Tester @ PANT, it seemed the most logical place to begin.
I have the Hovercraft & Stolly and the Ops/tracks/routes/Dispatches they look like fun. The stolly would be my vehicle of choice, so CIRP & SIRP will get another nutjob on the ice. It would be fun to see a Multiplayer event with half a dozen Stollys or hovercraft scooting around.
I think I'll install addons which don't require the season switcher for now, just so I can get my bearings, then install those sceneries down the track. I 'think I have enough to keep me busy for a little while.
Cheers Jeff
-
LOL, Jethro. I guess you aren't old enough to know who the singing duo of Homer and Jethro were.
-
Who? Homer and Jethro.. Will have to look that up!! I don't remember them unless they performed at PAHO.

Wow! all kinds of new blood dropping by! Welcome everyone to Misty's Place (RTMM). I'm sure your aware that the first obligation is to buy the beer at Misty's for the gang so with so many newbies aboard maybe we can make a multi-night welcome party.
I'm just a bit late welcoming ya'll due to having to re-install 'everything' due to HD problems.
Handle is 'Spud' (old U.S. Navy callsign) I'm originally from Idaho so squadron mates naturally picked my callsign accordingly.
-
lol Spud!! I'm kind of a new guy on the block here too these days, well kind of or sorta new, so I'll buy the 1st round - that is as soon as the Christmas music starts playing at PF20.. Then we' can crack open the keg of "Snog". (I have one mounted on my beaver.. and it's very ice cold from the recent temps.. so perfect).
Yes sir Spud: it was only last week that I learned that you were a navy flyer and flew corsairs, (My fav military warbird of all time), (and a few versions of it also in my sim!)
Norm
-
Hey Norm,
I'm old but not quite that old. The F4U was retired in 1953 only 8 years after WWII. My attack days were in the 'Spad' A-1 Skyraider. Last fixed wing was the SP2H transitioned to Rotary wing and was instructor in both fixed and rotary wing. At least I missed out on LTA (lighter than air BLIMPS). Although last fleet location was NAS Lakeview next door to the old Hindenburg hangar. (no I wasn't at the crash!!! ::))
-
Hello Jethro7,
welcome here on RTMM!
Have fun exploring our virtual world.....

lol Sorry bout that Spud.
A-1 Skyraider.. also fantastic plane.. but I don't have one in my sim!! (I'll have to find one for sure now!!.
-
Tim Conrad made the A-1 for FSX. did a quick search but have to do a more intensive one and will post a link when/if I find it.

Have a go at flightsim.com for the 'Spad'

Found that A-1J and A-1H it on the simouthouse site: Piglets Skyraider.. Right on spud.. will give it a go!!.
Thanks sir
Norm

I have a special place in my heart for the A1.
http://www.fsfiles.org/flightsimshotsv2/image/GIbd
Here's the only picture I have of an A1-H named for my mother Nancy Lou Allen. My father, CMSGT George B. Allen Jr. was the maintenance crew chief for a squadron of A1's named the "Zorro's" who were based out of Nakhon Phanom during the Viet Nam war.
(22d Air Commando Squadron (re designated 22nd Special Operations Squadron August 1, 1968), 27 November 1967 - 30 June 1975, call sign "Zorro":(A-1E/G/H/J, Tail Code: TS)
I actually own a die-cast model of her too.

Hello!
Still I am amazed about the huge information I have here! I was looking for some kind of missions for bushflying and never found anything until this weekend looking for Bush Flying VAs in AVSIM forum someone mencioned this place.
And here I am... trying to configure everything, that is not an easy task. Really thankyou for all your effort. See you in the skies!
-
Hi Japo32,
Welcome to RTMM. There is a lot to see and do at RTMM. To make RTMM "work" just make sure you have all of the required ORBX, and TF base scenery installed and running first. Then download and install all of the required RTMM object libraries. Then start downloading and exploring RTMM scenery files one by one to get a feel for what RTMM is all about. There's a HUGE virtual world available here.
Steve

Hello Japo32, and welcome to RTMM. Let us know if we can help you get settled it.

Welcome, Japo32!

Hello!
Still I am amazed about the huge information I have here! I was looking for some kind of missions for bush flying and never found anything until this weekend looking for Bush Flying VAs in AVSIM forum someone mentioned this place.
And here I am... trying to configure everything, that is not an easy task. Really thankyou for all your effort. See you in the skies!
------------------------
Hey there Japo32.. and welcome.
RTMM has a full place here of sim add-ons and enhancements but for clarity, RTMM is not a VA in the sense that I think you are referring to: This is not a VA environment as in flying/filing/submitting flight legs for approval for earning VA pilot flight hours, flying tours etc in a VA environment but it is a site that provides great custom add-ons and enhancements for those areas.
So here there are many scenery custom add-ons, enhancements as well as flight plans - and all freeware). If you want to fly bush in Alaska, BC and Yukon, these add-ons provided here indeed make your sim come alive: from custom scenery locations to so many other enhancements plus many other items to help you fly these locations such as flight plans etc on the Here to There page. (FSX/P3D).
If you are also looking for a real "Bush VA" that operates in these same areas of Alaska, BC and Yukon there are only a couple but only one VA that I know of that is totally bush and actually incorporates custom RTMM scenery add-ons into their VA systems. Partner site: Alaska Adventures VA. (I am involved with both RTMM and Alaska Adventures). At AKA, "No tubes" - It's all bush, over 2000 flight legs, scenic tours and many of the tour incorporate RTMM scenery in a VA environment, but if you don't have the custom RTMM scenery add-ons in your sim - well you can't see or land at many of the required locations. SIMS: FSX/P3D and some X-plane users can fly some of the stuff that is not RTMM dependent. Anyways you can take a look at Alaska Adventures VA if you are looking for a bush VA that covers the same area as RTMM - http://www.flyaka.com/ (http://www.flyaka.com/).
Norm

Thanks for all that info!
-
Welcome aboard Jappo,
seems as if everyone else has already chimed in to say HI! They have all mislead you, after getting all the good "stuff" at RTMM your required to meet the gang at Misty's Place and buy us all a beer!
At the moment lots of folks are switching to P3D (Lockheed Martin) and there are some changes being made to files etc. so keep active on site and you will be OK.
Later,
Spud
-
Sure that beers!
Yes but I see you are very active in P3Dv4 and that is fine! yesterday I could make my first M001H without any issue once I configured everything (that is not short to do it, but easy following the instructions)
cheers,
Javier
-
Hi,
I am new here (but not to simming). I was all excited about downloading/installing the necessary files for RTMM until I read the required list of payware addon scenery needed. Guess I will have to wait for the next Orbx sale. Too much for me to afford right now :-[ Pete
-
Hey Pete ... you don't need 'em all at all. Start with Pacific Fjords PFJ ... then, (like the rest of us), when the piggy bank gets a little fuller, grab a next one. Keep us posted. We'll be happy to help you get set up.
Doug
-
Hello Pete, and welcome to RTMM, the forum. ("Spaceballs, The Movie" reference, ;) )
You can also start building your RTMM collection and getting it set up for when you get the first Orbx region+Tongass Fjord X (req.) They are worthy additions to your sim.
( ... and also, you'll be addicted to Orbx once you get started. Beware.) ;)
Again, welcome.
-
Hello Pete, and welcome to RTMM!!! You'll really get addicted to flying in this vast Pacific area for hours pretty soon... Just to tease you a bit more, here comes a shameless ad ;) - grab your copy of RTMM map for Google Earth (http://forum.mistymoorings.com/index.php?topic=3457.0) and get your first impression of the area and scenery coverage to make a better choice as far as the required Orbx addon is concerned.
Good luck!!!
-
Hello everyone from Ketchikan AK. New here to the forum although I have been using RTMM for some time and started flying sims in 95. I have done a good deal of flying with Norm and he has been a big help with set ups. Love all the scenery and brings my area to life on the sim. I find myself out on my adventures and looking in coves and imaging everyone’s imagination of the neat things that has been created in the sim world. Excellent work and thank you for sharing this lively world!
Kevyn
-
Kevyn!!! You're here.. No better place else to be for that matter ..lol.. But since you actually live in Ketchikan, in the heart of Misty land, as on the previous VA site, you bring your significance of residence to RTMM and all of these scenery adds definitely add much even as you know already as we have flown together in the sim many times in site seeing excursions in your home land.
Welcome aboard Kevyn here at the RTMM scenery site.
Norm
-
Kevyn...hey, we’ve got boots on the real ground up there! Wonderful! You can keep us honest. :-). Welcome aboard the forum. Please add any local color you want to share. Well, you’re going to get to fly with Norm some more. We’ve got some interesting things in the works that will make you feel right at home. Surprises coming soon! Again, Welcome!
Doug
-
Hi Kevyn,
Welcome to RTMM! As you already know, there is lots to see here and more coming. Have fun!
Rod
-
Hello Kevyn,
welcome to RTMM!
That is great! You know all these places we fly virtually for real.....
-
Thanks everyone for the warm welcome! Excited to fly with everyone and help as much as I can. I am thinking we need to find a nice secluded cove away from civilization towards the misty fjords and build a lodge. Maybe up carrol inlet or Behm Canal. I’d be more then happy to hop in the Beaver and fly out to spot us all a fishing/hunting lodge like Yes Bay!
-
ahem!
Welcome aboard Kevyn as everyone has already mentioned ask any questions for help and impart any knowledge you think would help RTMM to 'get it right'.
Now for the important thing that has not been mentioned... When do you want to belly up to the bar at Misty's Place and buy the beer for the whole gang? Always a requirement for the "new guy"!
Later,
Spud
-
Alcoholic beverages
prohibited encourages. Especially winter time in Alaska. Almost spring time to get out and explore!!
-
Kevyn,
We have Misty's Place that's our home right inside the Bostwick Inlet of Gravina Island, of course you probably knew that already. As for the Behm Canal, if you travel north once you get inside the canal, enter the Smeaton Arm towards the east until it splits off into the Wilson Arm traveling northeast. You'll find one of my personal favorites, Wilson River Lodge. I'd also like to see something up in the Punchbowl lake area besides the one small cabin. Hmmm.... that might be something I can work on in the future.
My wife (Nina) and I spent a day in Ketchikan in 2016 on a Cruise Ship stop. We had a pristine, cloudless day fortunately in August and took a Misty Fjords Flightseeing trip that I'll never forget. As much time as I spend in the virtual "Misty" area, seeing it in the flesh was so beautiful that day. We flew with the company, "Alaska Seaplanes" for our flight. Departed the narrows and headed southeast before turning east and then up the Carroll Inlet. Made a descent and landing into Neets Bay near the hatchery. We were allowed to step out onto the pontoons as we floated on the lake for around 20 minutes. The stillness and solitude of the lake was so peaceful. We saw a black bear near the shore foraging in the silt and it was completely oblivious to our presence.
Even after we boarded back up, fired up the DH Beaver (N930TG) and departed, the bear didn't seem to mind at all.
Welcome and I hope you enjoy your stay with us in our home as much as I enjoyed visiting your home that special day.
Brad
-
That’s awesome! I love it up here, everything I do everyday people dream of. Explore the mountains, hop on a Beaver and get dropped off way out in the middle of nowhere and fly fish with a buddy of mine, jump on the boat after work and go drop crab pots and then while we wait go catch some halibut or salmon then fill the boat with our crab catch. Bostwick actually is full of dungee crabs, should add some crab pot strings around that bay and add another true aspect to float landing in the bay. Bright orange buoys floating in line. I did a little exploring yesterday and took off from Misty’s and flew up carrol inlet and found a wonderful spot for a nice lodge all the way at the end of it. You have a creek running into the inlet which would provide salmon fishing for the guests, go a little ways up and you can do some fly fishing for trout. I’m sure there are some nearby sandy bottoms for halibut. Plentiful hunting grounds for hunting season. They do say from time to time a brown bear is spotted back in that area where the passage is close enough for one to make the swim across from the mainland.
-
Hello everyone,
I guess I am the new guy around here. I come with some limited flight sim experience. I have dabbled off and on with FSX over the years, flew with a VA for short time several years ago. I got bored rather quickly cruising at FL400 for hours. I mainly been flying some combat games and space, but I guess as I get older (48) I am just not enjoying the combat stuff as much and would rather fly in a more relaxed environment :)
In November I bought XP11 and a couple airplanes, I am probably in the minority here but without ortho I just didnt care for it graphics wise. Everything looked to clean and digital and rather bland to me. So in December I bought P3Dv4 and some aircraft and some ORBX stuff and have been having a blast!!!!
Went searching for a VA or group that is based in Alaska or British Columbia and stumbled in here. Needless to say I am OVERWHELMED with everything there is to offer here. I think I have found a home!
I dont think I have enough addons to be able to fly any of the group stuff thats being set up here yet. I only have ORBX Global Base, Global Vector, openGL NA, Souther Alaska, and Pacific Fjords. I do plan on getting more, but not sure how soon thats going to happen. Hope to catch you guys sometime soon.
As for aircraft dont have much in that department either, Beaver, Twin Otter, A2A 172 182 Cher 180 and Com 250, Pilatus PC-12.
Well enough rambling on, hope to see you guys in the air sometime soon!
Tom
-
Hello dreamreaper,
Welcome to Return to Misty Moorings!!
If you like flying low and slow you found the right place! Wecare all flying here for having fun and to relax.
One addon you should consider for enjoying our Misty world is Tongass Fjords as this fills the gap between ORBX southern alaska and pacific Fjords.
-
Welcome aboard Tom,
Lo n' slo is the name of the game of course. The gang here is always ready and willing to help if you have any problems, just ask!
Now that the formalities are over just meet the gang at Misty's Place ASAP so you can buy the beer! A newbie requirement that seals the brotherhood of Bush Pilots!
;D :D ;)
8)
-
Welcome Tom...use the GoTo table and search for he scenery based you have from ORBX...you have most of it. Tongass X will be your next purchase if you like it here. Jump on here if you need help...we loc3mgivimg dolks a hand.
-
Yay, more beer. Welcome Dreamreaper (Tom) and Sen and Kevyn. I've been lazy greeting new members. Sorry. I am always available in the PST evenings, after 5pm, if you need any help with getting settled in. We are hatching a new flight environment for us to play in. It is in the early setup stages, but I look forward to STOL fly-ins at Annette Island when we are operational. Also, flight tours and other such reasons to fly will be provided. Welcome aboard. Post often. ;)
-
Welcome Tom! Tongass Fjords X (TFX) is a very important addon when flying at RTMM. Not only is the scenery very nice but the TFX libraries/simobjects are used in other RTMM scenes. It is a must have.
Rod
-
Welcome all! This is a very warm and welcoming group. People full of knowledge And skill. Beautiful sceneries created here to bring my home territory to life! So we can catch everyone at Misty’s “PF20” for that round of beers correct? A little chilly here so we will make sure there is enough firewood for the wood stove!
Kevyn
-
Excuse me, did I hear someone say beer?????, Belated welcome to Sen n' Tom I'm sure if you like low n' slow you'll never leave, so much to offer here. Don't be worried about asking the ''stupidest'' question, I've got that covered
-
Kevyn,
In regards to your request for something at the end of Carroll Inlet, we've had something there for a long time. Lucky Lindy's Place.
http://return.mistymoorings.com/scenery/zipfiles/lucky_lindys_place_01/lucky_lindys_place_01.zip
-
And a great place it is!
-
Thanks for the welcome all. I look foreword to making this place my home.
Looking into getting Tongass Fjords X, looks like it might be a bit challenging to install but then again a lot of times the instructions make it look a lot harder than it actually is.
I will be sure to check into Misty's Place and get that beer ASAP!
-
Hi, Den here.
I'm a UK based virtual GA flyer of (too many) years standing! I love to fly the Carenado C185 and have all the OrbX addons for this part of the world in my P3D v4.1 installation. I finally decided to spend some pennies on the Tongass scenery to complete the area and will be adding the RTMM scenery as soon as I sort out a small problem with airport elevations with the TGF scenery. I've posted on their forum for help on that so hope to get it sorted soon.
I love flying low'n'slow round some of the more scenic parts of the world including this area of course, as well as New Zealand, and Norway- for which I have the Orbx sceneries for as well.
Look forward to flying with you guys soon.
-
Den
Welcome to one of the most enjoyable and well resourced websites dedicated to our wonderful hobby.
I'm Uk based as well and enjoy flying around MM a lot. Always something new to discover.
-
Indeed a warm welcome to you Den from this side of the Atlantic and we hope that you will enjoy flying in the Alaskan/BC airspace with the recommended scenery's. The scenery and enhancements sure adds much activity in your sim for these parts!.
I didn't see a post on problems with Tongass elevations but for P3Dv4x just make sure you have the 40 terrain entries in your main terrain.cfg and that Tongass (Higher over lower scenery folders) are placed between FTC and OpenLC in the FTX Central (settings > Library Insertion Point).
(Open LC Entries should be inserted below: "Tongass Lower")
(Oh and make sure you update the tongass AI models as per> RTMM Step Table #10 > http://return.mistymoorings.com/getting_started/index.php#10 (http://return.mistymoorings.com/getting_started/index.php#10)).
That should fix up Tongass in P3Dv4x.
If you need any more assistance help just holler and welcome again Den.
Norm
-
Welcome, Den! I hope you get the problem sorted so you can begin to enjoy our wonderful sceneries. It is a lot of fun! If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.
Rod
-
Hello Den, and welcome to the forum for Return to Misty Moorings. Thanks for taking the time to introduce yourself. Always a pleasure to add another pilot to the Misty skies. The site has grown considerably over the years and sometimes you may need help getting around. Don't hesitate to ask for help if you get lost in the website. There is a great search box that will help you find any key words on the forum.
Enjoy your time in Misty Fjords, and remember to post screenshots occasionally. We like that. :D
-
Welcome Den!! I'm sure "Spud" will be in here soon to make you aware of rule number one for newbies!!!
And feel free to ask about your Tongass Fjords issues here because I'm guessing that we might have crossed it off our list before. Usually with airport elevation issues, it's because there's a couple of airport ADE files competing for the top spot on the priority list. If you can determine the Airport ICAO code that's showing the abnormal elevations for us, we can assist with helping get things back to where they should be I'm sure.
Brad
-
Hello Den,
Welcome to return to misty moorings....have fun exploring alaskan bush flying.
-
Welcome aboard Den. The gang will meet at Misty's place so as the newbie you get to buy the beer! :P ;D
-
Cheers Spud- they're on the bar waiting for you so come and get 'em. ;)
Sorted the problem with Tongass with the help of Dieter on their forum so now I have started installing the RTMM scenery. Already got Misty's place in and had a quick flight round the area. Looking good.
-
Sorry, just seen all the other posts on the previous page. Thanks all for the welcome.
The Tongass problem turned out to be down to the installer putting some airport elevation adjustment files in my fsx Steam installation instead on the P3D installation. It may have been due to my use of the Estonia migration tool to install it- or it may just have been the nut on the end of the mouse! (ie-Me)
Dieter's reply there pointed me to an Avsim thread by Poppet which showed me how to do it. If this is included in your troubleshooting then I missed it. If not, well it is now!
-
Hi everybody,
sry for taking so long with introducing but i was so exited baout all this just went straight to flying. Im Miha and i am a returning pilot after 1 year being out on account of missing a computer but i am back, went to my previous position at AKA, but saw you guys did a club and blew me away.You guys and your work is amazing and a actually dont make 1 flight outside misty areas so being a part of this is a dream for me.

Miha

Hello Miha,
Welcome to RTMM....have fun exploring the misty worlds!
-
Hello Miha,
Thanks for stopping in to say "Hi". Welcome to the forum. Return to Misty Moorings is happy to have you, despite your association with AKA. ;D I see you are also MFC0040, so welcome to the Flying Club too. Much flying to do here. See you at Misty's Place for that newbie round, eh. Thanks. ;)
-
Welcome, Miha!
Rod
-
A warm welcome (back) Miha.. It is very nice to have you flying in RTMM lands again and also a welcome as the 40th pilot of the MFC bush crew. Alaska/BC Yukon areas and full of RTMM content as always. And I see already several great flights flown at MFC: very smooth on that C206 and J3 Cub sticks!!. Welcome again and if any questions or problems just give us a holler.
Norm
-
Welcome aboard RTMM. New blood is always appreciated and we'll meet you at Misty's Place as you buy the beer!
-
Greetings,
I'm Ed from North Texas. Retired AF and long time Simmer. I fly FSX and P3D_V4 and I enjoy doing scenery design and VC texture upgrades among other things. Looking forward to getting started once I figure out all the new software and procedures.

Well(s) Ed, it's so nice to have you flying with us in these sim scenery areas. There are a few AF here, Navy too among the simmers that fly here. and lots of interesting experiences. A warm welcome to you Ed. If yo have any problems or issues please don't hesitate to let us know.
ow there is software differences between FSX-P3Dv3 vs P3Dv4 so take a read through the v4 updates to avoid those sim problems (Link http://return.mistymoorings.com/getting_started/index.php#9 (http://return.mistymoorings.com/getting_started/index.php#9)) but other than that, the rest just takes a little time. Welcome again.

Ed,
meet ya at Misty's with the rest of the gang so you can buy the beer. Welcome aboard! Being an old Naval Aviator it always nice to have a brother military to talk over old time etc.

Hi Ed,
Welcome to RTMM! We are thrilled to have you as part of our membership. I am aware of your scenery design skills and can honestly credit your videos with helping me become an experienced user of SBX for photo overlay work. I always reference your videos when asked by someone who wants to learn photo real terrain design using SBX.
If you haven't already, once you get acclimated and get the urge to design scenery inside RTMM's sphere of influence and have that scenery distributed in our libraries, take a look at the "Rules for Contributors" link in the right column of our website front page. NOTAM 1 is really important to follow before you pick a place to create a future scenery "masterpiece".
For myself, I am now in the final weeks of finishing The Western Chugach - Part 2 scenery which uses many photo real techniques. Part 1 is already available in our library. I am still using many of the techniques you demonstrated in your 11 or so SBX Tutorials. Thanks for making those videos.
Feel free to Private Mail (PM) me anytime since I do watch my PM box regularly. This is a great site with many, many things to see and do so take your time exploring. Have fun!

Hello.
i am from Serbia. After flying big aircraft PMDG triple 7 , 747 etc in FSX i found Aerosoft Beaver and bush flight and i am very happy now.
Misty Place is amazing, excellent work and thank you for sharing this !

Hello doksas and Ed,
Welcome to the RTMM forum. Sorry I missed seeing you come in Ed. :-[ Glad to have you both here. Enjoy you time in the fjords, and ... DON'T FEED the BEARS!!! They're getting fat. :o ;D
-
A Warm welcome Igor (Igor Doksas) (And newest MFC Pilot #MFC0059). It's always nice to put away the tubes and do some real hands on flying in some great scenery! Enjoy the ruggedness of the scenics with your hands on the aircraft!! If you require any help or have any questions just give us a holler. Welcome again.

Hi from the UK, my name is Kev and am fairly new to FSX as not really used a flight sim since the days of the Commodore Amiga (remember those?). I'll be hones, my original intentions were to learn to fly tubeliners (and i will learn, one day) but after a couple of months was not really getting anywhere. Went to a flight sim show at RAF Cosford recently and got talking to some people who suggested 'starting small'. Got home, fired up the default c172 g1000 and have been having a blast working my way back to the UK from Kansas where i 'collected' the airplane. Between that and watching some re-runs of Ice Pilots and Flying Wild Alaska, it has got me interested in bush flying. After doing some searching online a lot of people mentioned checking this site out and, after watching some youtube videos, my goodness, it looks amazing. Especially with all the created flight-plans and stories behind them (like the idea you are delivering people/cargo to these isolated locations).
As it stands all i have is FSX : Steam Edition, i will possibly be moving onto p3d (if/when the out of memory messages i have heard about start getting too frequent) so essentially have a blank slate. From my understanding all 3 of the ORBX sceneries and Tongass Fjords will need to be added before installing the RTMM objects and scenery?
I also really like the look of the MilViz Beaver (will also need to learn old-school navigation by the looks of it, have been spoilt by gps).
Anyway, just wanted to say hello and am looking forward to flying and discovering this amazing looking scenery (and learning to fly a taildragger).
-
Hello Kev, and welcome to Return to Misty Moorings. (The forum). :D Get settled in, and read through the forum posts. There is gold in these hills. We have collected years of sage advice concerning the enjoyment of Alaska in our simulators.
If you need help, just ask. We also endorse boating in the Misty Fjords, and there are many river runs and boat trips to be had. In P3d, you can even get completely submersed in the ocean depths with submarine type craft. FYI. But mostly we fly amphibians and taildraggers to remote dirt strips and backwaters. Again, Welcome. 8)
-
A warm welcome Kev and welcome to simming in the bush. Yes the NA Orbx's and Tongass goes in, then RTMM on top. Works very nice, looks great and brings a lots of scenics to this area. If you have any questions or problems etc, just give us a holler. Welcome again and hope you really enjoy flying up here.

Hello to all in Misty's Moorings and MFC.
As my Nickname would suggest I have been Flight Simming since 1981, which makes me rather old, but never-the-less, I think I am still "with it"! Started with Sub-Logics flight sim and have graduated up through all but one of ACE's MS flight sims - and now moved to P3d v4. I have flown a LOT! Now approaching 20,000 flight sim hours. I love Low & Slow. Been looking at RTMM for many years and finally decided it was a good choice, especially after Misty's Flight Club got running.
I have been a member of my fist and only VA for 5 years now, but it is slowly morphing into something I am not . . . and so here I am. On first glance, this looks like a welcoming, fun and inclusive Group and I am looking forward to flying with you all - and helping out where I can.
Regards,
Greg
Dunedin, New Zealand

You're first glance is correct, Sir. Welcome to RTMM, the forum. Glad you finally touched down. ;)
-
A warm welcome to you Greg. I see you that you just joined up at MFC and have already completed MFC Tour 1. Sure can tell that you have been flying for a while Like maybe since 1981!! lol) Great landing rates.
NZ has some nice bush flying areas down under! some of which is kind of similar to that of some Alaskan areas. Hope you feel right at home here and enjoy the trip.
If you have any questions or have any problems just give a holler.!
Welcome again Greg.
Norm
-
Welcome, Greg! I, too, first became infatuated with flight simming via subLOGIC's Flight Sim II for the Commodore Amiga in the late 80s. Take your time as you enjoy all the wonderful things RTMM has to offer.
We are a very friendly group so don't hesitate to ask questions as you go along. You will find the RTMM users to be a helpful, responsive group. Have fun!

Hello Greg,
welcome to RTMM! Have fun flying slow and low!

I've been a fan and user of Misty Moorings addons from FS9 to now. Decided to join Misty Flying Club to explore this wonderful world that's been created for flight sim. I enjoy making missions for FSX, recently completing 13 missions that tour national parks and the Cascade Volcanic Arc in the western US. Now working on my fourth SR-71 mission, but love the break flying low and slow in Alaska that Misty Moorings provides.
Besides flight sim, I enjoy fly fishing, hiking, and options trading. I retired end of Jan 2017 after over 40 years as an electrical engineer. I started out designing speed controls for diesel and gas engines and gas and steam turbines. Spent over 30 years designing electronics for the aerospace industry including precision laser pointing, solar tracking, and solar irradiance instruments for Hubble Space Telescope, James Web Space Telescope, and the International Space Station. Now it's time to really enjoy life!
I'm looking forward to the new adventures and comradery that seems to be in abundance here.

Welcome Alan, to the forum of Return to Misty Moorings. Thanks for finally registering and saying "hi". You've been busy. Some "low n slow" bush flying will help you unwind. You'll find comradery at Misty's Place, especially after you buy the first round. We're crazy about virtual beer around here! ;D
Let us know if you hit any snags along the way, but I think you'll be ok. Happy flying, Sir! 8)
-
Hi Alan, seems you meet the requirements for this place... to enjoy life! :)
... you have amazing credentials.
Welcome to this bastion of bush flying wealth!
Pull is up a chair and enjoy everything thate RTMM offers and always brilliant to see screenshots.
-
Warm welcome to you Alan (MFC Pilot MFC0083). Nice to have you here with us flying some "bush" in great scenery. (You have have some nice views of your own there as you are in close proximity to the rugged Colorado landscapes to the west!).
Quite the career there -40 years as an electrical engineer doing very interesting stuff. Hope that you really can enjoy more of this hobby here with us: Lots of comradery and banter 'round here in this RTMM neighborhood. For sure you fit right in here and already nice to see that you have flown many flights at MFC with and no problems that I can see: sure can tell have that you have been simming for a while.
If for any reason you do require any help or have any questions just give us a holler. Welcome again and see you in the RTMM-MFC skies!
Norm

Welcome aboard, Allen. Well you will find there is plenty to do here to keep you busy. When you get settled in, try one of the medical dispatches. I’ve just re-done the documentation for it. You fly out to a casualty location, (using just a waypoint and your gps), home page right hand column/index, you land nearby bush style, then fly back to one of 35 medical facilities we’ve created...and when you arrive, medical personnel and equipment are waiting for you! Have fun, and we are all here to get you past any rough spots.
Doug

Thanks for the warm welcome guys :D.

Welcome aboard. That's pretty cool stuff. I love being able to find out where the ISS is going to appear at near my location, then seeing it show up on time, light up and pass across the sky. That's solar reflective radiance big time!!!

Hello, ladies and gentlemen! I guess I should say a couple of words. My real name is Ilya and I've been flightsimming since 1990 and dreaming of becoming a pilot for my entire life. My first sim was Spitfire 40 for ZX Spectrum and then Tomahawk. Then they were all combat sims, but in 1995 I got myself a copy of Microsoft Flight Simulator 5.0 for MS-DOS and it changed my life completely.
I managed to finally fulfil my dream and I possess a PPL, but not long ago I had to stop flying due to some financial and health problems, so flightsimming is again my consolation. My full time job is a quality assurance engineer for a company producing commercial flight simulators. Mainly it's 737 and 320, so there is still some flying, but my dream has always been to fly some old piston banger in the middle of some beautiful nowhere, so here I am, looking for my home at RTMM :)
-
Welcome home, Ilya. ;)
:P
-
Welcome Walter (alias Ilya). Long time combat simmer. Don't shoot us down as we only have bush planes here that have engines that indeed bang!! lol. Have fun and if you need any help or assistance just let us know.
(RTMM is in a scenery refreshment or revamp so watch the summary posts for new scenery versions.)
Welcome again Ilya.

Hello Ilja,
welcome onboard to RTMM.

There‘s lot to disvover flying low and slow....

Next round is on Ilya at Misty's Place!!!!
Well, that's not gonna be soon :))) I get it that MFC is a multiplayer community here at RTMM. So I'll have to make myself comfortable with all the software needed etc. I've never flown any multiplayer flights in P3D before.

Not to worry, Ilya. We're not really all that "multiplayer" as you might think. We have trouble getting together because of time zone differences. Also, most of us are solo type of pilots, or at least I am. The Misty's Flying Club is not multiplayer either. You fly and record your legs, and others are doing that also. But you never see another person in the sim. (I don't).
The beers at Misty's Place are virtual, and imaginary. (and free) Enjoy RTMM the way you want to, and interact with the community however you are comfortable. There's no pressure. Cheers! :)
-
Some of us fly together: MFC is really for recording/records/stats of the FP and excursions.
Discord or TS3 works great for comms. FSCloud and/or JoinFS for multi - and it all works great and is very easy to do but as Jeff says, there is no pressure in any way shape or form.
Additionally some do fly "Group" but not too much as it is very hard for all to get together as most are on different time zones and reside in different places across the globe.
Get the RTMM scenery done - that is the biggest task and it's required to fly the trips in RTMM land and if you need a hand to set it up, just holler.
Norm
-
Jeff, Norm,
Thank you for the notes, I've joined and I can see that MFC is what I have been looking for. It's like FSE, just cooler. I still have some questions, though, but they would be off topic here, so I'll bring them up in the MFC thread.

Hello everyone!
I first stumbled on RTMM back in summer 2017 when I first started tinkering with FSX. I wanted some better scenery than the default, but couldn't justify all that flashy expensive stuff out there if I didn't know how long FSX was going to hold my interest, I found Tongass Fjords - a good sized region, very detailed, in an area of interest (I like low and slow bush flying, not the flying bus lanes :o) and a reasonable price, so I invested in that, and had a lot of fun with it.
For a couple of months. Various factors drew me away, but now I'm back to FSX, still have Tongass, and have added a bunch of ORBX stuff (PFJ, SAK, PAKT, PAJN, Global Base, HD Trees). Remebering some of the 'extras' I saw at RTMM for the Tongass region, I hit up Google, and here I am.
Only a few installed at the moment - Cedar Lodge Camp, Cape Spencer Light, Fleet Bay and Metlakatla Jetty (oh, and the seasonal adjuster) - I like to fly out of Annette Island (PANT) running FSPassangers around the region, so I'm starting with stuff in that area to increase the variety and interest as I'm zooming around at low level.
I'm now plotting to see if I can add my own water (and land, where applicable) runways that show up in the 'Free Flight' list of FSX, so I can use them as destinations with FSPassangers. I have no idea how such things are accomplished, so that'll be an 'adventure' all its own!
Anyway, long winded way of saying hello - thanks to all involved for enhancing my enjoyment of FSX! 8)
-
Hello and a warm welcome to you "bearded one". Sounds like you are definitely getting back underway with simming and the best pieces, FTX-ORBX, Tongass adds and then all the RTMM adds for Alaska, BC, Yukon etc. There is lots of scenery to see and ruggedness up in these parts so tubes at 30k do not work too well seeing the sites. lol. Enjoy and if you need any assistance just let us know.
Norm
-
Hello Beardgoblin,
welcome to RTMM and thank you for introducing yourself.
Have fun exploring the RTMM world.......
-
Thanks for the welcome @nbrich1 and @corbu1!
I have just found and figured out the RTMM Google earth kmz file/map - oh lawd but thats a lot of information and content to process!
The Google Earth map is amazing, and is realy going to help me work out which scenery to install to populate each area.
Thanks for such great tools!
-
Hello BeardGoblin,
Welcome to the RTMM forum. Thanks for saying "hi". You might be interested in the RTMM Flight Plans package, the "Here to There" page, and Misty's Flying Club. They are all adventures waiting to happen. Enjoy.

Welcome BeardGoblin,
Have fun!
Rod
-
Thanks @jeff3163 and @stiletto2!
I'm certainly enjoying the extra's I've installed so far.
And since I stumbled upon the post with the video that explains the problem with setting up new scenery libraries in Win 7, I can confirm that Win 10 suffers the same issue! Now I can tidy up my Add On Scenery folder!
I also remembered that FSPassangers can operate without needing to set a destination, so everything is working out ;D
Edit to ask: Does anyone know if there is anything amongst the RTMM extras that would clash with 'Active Sky Next'? Its 50% off on Steam at the moment (I have FSX:SE). Its a weather system (pun intended!), so I imagine not, but you never know. Cheers!
-
Since ASN talks to FSX which uses our scenery there is not a problem. ASN works fine with all of our sceneries.

Thanks, time to go and flex the wallet a little, I think 8)

Hi, I'm new. Sorta
Recently got back into Simming from a long hiatus, starting with the closure of the Gaming Zone for FS, only loading up Lock On and DCS to get my fix since. Kind of hard to find a community these days for the FS world. Moved onto Active Air Source for a bit, but tapered off. Sad to see Hover Control shut down, too :(
But this looks like a nice place. Bush flying has always been fun. Clearly a lot of work went into setting everything up here, all the scenery, the flights, the Cigarbox and persistence.
Just starting to get my teeth sunk into simming again. Been a lot of advancements since I really last flew the Level D 767 with 2D panels. It's a bit tricky getting used to the VC, especially with head movement, but I'm steaming right along
So if you ever fly over a lake and see the floats of an upside down Twin Otter drifting in the gentle waves, make sure to give me a wave
And thanks to Norm for the encouragement ;D

Welcome back Thomas.
Take your time and enjoy the scenery. Any help you need, just ask right here in our forums.
Have fun,

A formal welcome to you here in the forum Thomas. (Thanks btw for your words - I had written a comment to Thomas in response to his first couple of flights at MFC). And sure can tell that you have flown before Thomas.
So again a warm welcome to you and if you have any questions or if help required just give us a shout.
Thomas May is the most recent pilot at MFC - MFC0089. HIRED!! We hope you surely enjoy the "Bush" here at RTMM.
Norm

Welcome Thomas,
Glad to see that you finally made it here. Return to Misty Moorings has been growing out of the memory of the original Misty Moorings since early 2011. It is amazing to look back on the progress this amazing group have accomplished in the past 7 or 8 years. Doug and Brad are the heart and soul, and with help from the RTMM team and our members has grown into a force to be reckoned with. The team are volunteers and share a passion for RTMM, the flight sims, scenery creation, model painting, and flying.
So, now in 2019 the website is rather large and may seem intimidating at first glance. Remember that there is a community here that is eager to help.
Again, welcome to Return to Misty Moorings and Misty's Flying Club too.
:)

One new guy to another, welcome @Thomas May 8)

I have been putting off doing this for far too long. I’m not great on introductions, but I will try.
Been flight simming for nearly sixteen years now. Most all of my flying has been solo. I did join DC3 Airways back in 2006 and have logged just over2000 hours with them. Some multiplayer, but most flying around the world countless times.
I am a real pilot, although not current. I did my solo in 1986 at PAJN, long before GPS. My brother (who is an A+P) and I bought an old Stinson 108 Voyager and rebuilt it. We sold it after a few years and bought a little Cessna. 24J ended up doing cartwheels down the Hoonah runway by a student pilot, so I’m told. I traded my airplanes for a family a few decades ago. I lived under PAJN’s runway 26 approach for nearly thirty years. I live in SW Florida now.
I’m getting ready to fully retire in the next year or so and hope to have more time to be a contributing member of a flight sim community. I have been lurking here for quite some time and thought I would take the plunge.
I must admit to having some concerns about loading up my scenery folders, an area I’m not as proficient with as others, but it looks like the instructions are pretty well laid out. I own all ORBX global and NA. I do not own Tongass Fjords, image that, having lived and flown there for years. I use P3D v4.4 and have eight GoFlight modules set up with my multi monitor system. Yup, down the rabbit hole full throttle! I still fly a great deal of GA, mostly lately in the A2A Bonanza V Tail and am just opening the Vertex DA62.
I do own the Milviz Beaver but don’t have many hours in it. I must admit to not being a big fan of GPS, but it’s starting to grow on me. I know, I know… it saves lives. But I want to fly, not push buttons!
Anyway…. I’ll go buy Tongass Fjords and start reading the directions in earnest. I’ll register on the forum and the flying club and we will see what happens. Thanks for the opportunity to join the community. I look forward to making friends, learning, and probably virtually flying more nooks and crannies in SE AK than I ever really knew existed.
Cheers,
Bob Tonkin

Hello Bob,
Welcome to the forum. Thanks for finally saying "hi". We are a friendly bunch, and like to help out where we can. It's nice to have a former Juneau resident in the mix. It's also nice to have pilots in our midst, present or former. Get settled in, and we'll see you at Misty's Place for the obligatory round. 8)
-
Glad to have you aboard Bob. Take your time and enjoy the sights. Don't forget to ask for any help here if you need it.
Brad
-
A warm welcome to you Bob. Thanks for your background and story: An-real expilot from Juneau with the navigational experience and skills without the use of GPS. Like a BUSH pilot even..lol.!! So interesting when one realizes that pilots not too long ago pilots actually knew how to "fly the aircraft" "hands ON" and actually knew how to calculate and mark their own navigation points (E6-B, de'd reckoning (mag heading and time), checkpoints/landmarks to mark/fix position etc), instead of pushing a button on the GPS.
Anyways, there is lots of sim pilot's here who know the ins/outs of all the sim stuff: add-on scenery, aircraft etc so if you have any questions or if any help is required just give us a shout. Again a warm welcome to you Bob and enjoy your returning to your previous roots!
Norm

Hello Bob,
welcome to RTMM!!!!
It`s great, you are a real pilot who used to fly in the area we explore in the sim.

Hi all,
My name is Jim. I'm an avid flight sim pilot and previously pilot IRL. I've been flying sims since MSFS 1.0 back in the `80s. I've always dreamt of flying IRL in Alaska and it's one of my favorite VFR flight areas in P3Dv4.
I just loaded up the RTMM libraries for the first time today. I already own nearly all ORBX products. They have a boat plane load of my money. I bought Tongass Fjords X today to fill the gap and to allow me to try RTMM sceneries.
I am just about to load up my first RTMM scenery and I noticed some incorrect links to map graphics on the http://www.return.mistymoorings.com/scenery/ (http://www.return.mistymoorings.com/scenery/) page. I managed to find them on the Wayback version of that page from March 31, 2016, but I wanted to report them here. I'll post in the general thread with those.
I am a Navy veteran, electronics engineer turned computer engineer 35 years ago. I'm very capable of solving any PC issues. I spent my youth growing up in Europe as an Air Force brat. After the Navy I lived most my adult life in Washington, DC area with some long stints in Europe.
Cheers,
Jim

Hello everyone. My name is Mark Hansen (Tinman) and I'm from San Antonio TX. I have been flying FS for quite a while, however I haven't been flying for a while. I like flying small planes in the Pacific North west. I also like the Captain Sim C-130 because of the speed to get there but slow enough to get into some neat fields.
back in the day I loved being in the Emma field flying club and I'm looking for a new flying club to fly multiplayer and voice. (my PC is in the shop now so it will be a while before I can get on line.
I do have a quick question, I'm trying read all of the information, I don't see anything about FSX steam. Can I connect with this club using FSX Steam edition, or do I need to use FSX. If it must be FSX, do I need the acceleration pack. I think I saw something about DX... what is that? I need to know what to set up when I get my PC back.
Looking forward to joining (if you will have me) and getting back into the virtual skies.
Thanks,
Mark Tinman Hansen
-
Hello Tinman. Welcome to the RTMM forum. You are most welcome to come join the Misty's Flying club, and you will be sure to get plenty of help getting set up. So, ... no worries. :) I believe steam edition is compatible with all things Misty, but I don't use the SE FSX, I am on P3D.
You will also find us helpful in getting up to speed here at Misty's Place. If you need help, just ask.
Again, welcome. 8)
-
Hello there Mark of Tinman! A warm welcome to you. And welcome back to the FS world.
Don't think there are any issues with the FSX SE version as it applies to either the add-on scenery, libs, or comms software ie: Simconnect or FSUIPC so ACARS shouldn't be a problem hooking the sim into the MFC stuff. If FSX, acceleration pack is not mand.. but SP1 and SP2 are needed. DirectX (DX) was/is a graphical shader enhancement that was introduced in Windows and first supported in the FSX acceleration pack.
(P3D took over from the FSX product development but was originally based on the FSX platform),
Since that time, DirectX has been further developed as a graphic platform in the Windows OS- now DirectX 12 (DX12) and graphics codes are supported in P3Dv4x which is now 64 bit unicode and has capability to run the latest graphical interfaces at DirectX DX12)
There are lots here who use FSX SE so practical help won't be in short supply. And many others that use other sim should be able to figure out any problems!
Lots of stuff to do from Libs to scenery, etc.. but fun to fly in these parts and to see the RTMM sites. Welcome again Mark.
Norm
-
Just a minor correction to what Norm said: Acceleration is necessary if you use FSX because it contains some objects that our scenery requires that aren't contained in the original FSX release.

Ah ok Steve.. thanks for noting the clarification on the full requirements if using the original FSX boxed.
Norm
-
Thanks everyone!!! Looks like I'll be going to the FSX Steam Edition, I already have that and don't have the Acceleration Pack for FSX. Steam is supposed to have all of the services packs already.
Just got notified my PC is ready for pickup so I'll be setting up tomorrow.
I purchases the recommended scenery last night and its waiting for a download from Orbx, they sure make great stuff. Looking forward to the scenery you have for download.
Looking forward getting into FS again

MFC Introduction
Hello, I’m one of the new pilots in the Misty Flying Club, with my number MFC0101. Since I have finished some basic flights it’s time to introduce myself here.
My name is Hans-Ulrich Witt, better short as Ulli, and I’m a retired engineer for railway signalling. During my active I worked for many years in several countries, most in Asia, like Taiwan, China, India, Singapore and Saudi Arabia.
Flight simulation was always a great hobby for me, starting with FS 4 and going up to P3D4 now with some breaks between due to job and family.
Now I found the RTMM website, and the enthusiasm of the founders have impressed me. They provide a lot of freeware sceneries to extend the world of flight simulation, which was already improved by ORBX and famous Tongass Fjords. However, so many places to fly and to discover – how and where to start? The suggested routes are very helpful, but the top is the MFC. And so I joined the community, and do not regret. It’s a very friendly atmosphere here.
After some flights I’m getting used to the Cigar Box, and the way, how to bid for tours there. However, may I suggest some ideas to help newcomers to enjoy the MFC.
Besides the basic instruction on the first page of the MFC forum, there are some other questions hidden in several pages of the forum, like how to change aircrafts, what about Pireps not submitted, about flight levels, about the route and how to stop a route. What happens, if a Pirep is rejected, how to repeat this flight or what about breaks during the tour. What about charter flights, what about cancelling due to the weather conditions etc.
Some of the questions are answered already, but it would be useful to have a section with Q&A, to find these infos faster. It makes it also easier for new pilots.
Anyway, it’s a great improvement for my “simmer life”, and I’d like to thank the developers of RTMM, and hope, they will continue and surprise us with more challenging addons.
Greetings from Germany

Welcome to RTMM, Ulli. 8)
Thanks for the suggestions. There is a "search" function that finds relevant info in the threads. :P
-
Welcome to RTMM and MFC Ulli. Indeed you have gotten right into the MFC flights and tours.
Now as far as your q&a.. indeed there is lots on the forum.. but I am working on a full MFC/Cigar Box manual. It takes a while to try to document all the items.. but I'm getting there.
Welcome again and thanks for your suggestions and participation.

Welcome, Ulli!

Hello and welcome to RTMM Ulli,
thank you for introducing yourself.
Have fun exploring the RTMM world, there‘s a lot to discover you will see...
Also greetings from Germany ;)

Hi Larry,
Welcome to Return to Misty Moorings. Before you can use any of the RTMM scenery, you must install all the libraries (which are required). Then you should be able to see all the objects. Which scenery locations are you trying to find/use?
Dan is in charge of the actual website, not the scenery on it. Doug is the big cheese in the scenery department, along with Brad. Rod and Steve are very knowledgeable in sim tweaks and the libraries. Norm also is a fountain of knowledge as well.
Hopefully one of us can help you, and again ... Welcome.
Jeff
(ps-Please start a post for this topic (in the "From Here to There - Missions, Trip Tics and VA" section.), so we can discuss it properly. Thanks.)

Hi! I am Erika Jayne ( erikaj@ktn-ak.us ) from Ketchikan Alaska!
I haven't played with a flight simulator since way way back with Flight Simulator 98--but in looking into user generated content and add-on content for more modern flight simulator programs this group (and the flights some of ya'll have posted on YouTube) kept popping up!
Ketchikan Museum's Tongass Historical Museum will have an aviation themed exhibition opening in March and running through 2021. I would love to set up a flight simulator in our program space and download all of the fantastic content pertinent to our area of Southeastern Alaska.
I have been looking into other institutes (Air and Space, Science Centers, Aviation Museums ect..) and haven't quite figured out if its possible on our scale (small) and with minimal set up. (THree monitors, dedicated computer, simple controls, in such a way that users cant quit/navigate away from the flight sim).
We don’t intend to fabricate a full blown flight simulator with precision flight controls and a high learning curve… The idea is finding a way to let visitors have the experience of seeing our area of Southeastern Alaska from the cockpit of a plane (Something you all obviously enjoy too!!). The Microsoft Flight Simulator X and the flights/content covering our island here in Ketchikan and the various flightseeing tours to the Misty Fjords was our inspiration. Being able to put them in the pilot’s seat and let them navigate is what we are after. Which is why I am enthused to see if anyone can point me in the right direction.
Can you set up Flight Simulator X in such a way that someone can select a set flight plan and hit go and fly using a simple yoke and three levers for throttle, prop and mixture?
Thank you for any advice!!
I am downloading the Steam version of Flight Simulator X to try out and enjoy over the holiday, so I might have better questions for anyone interested or able to help out!
Feel free to message me- point me toward leads!
-
Hello Erika,
Welcome to RTMM. Thanks for taking the time to say "hi", and for asking our advice/help here. I suppose we'll be seeing you around here a bit as you get things set up. We'd be happy to help along the way if you need it. :)
-
Hi there Erika and a warm welcome to you. (and you might need some "warm" in the next month or so living in Ketchikan! (but it's been pretty moderate there so far.).
Sure a simpler flight simulator could be set up with not too much difficulty and flights plan loaded for the Ketchikan area loaded and ready to fly out of Ketchikan Harbor for any visitors that are visiting the museum and might want to try an aerial view of the area with hands on the controls of a float plane or amphibian type aircraft. Can be done without too much difficulty. And for those purposes of the museum patrons who might want a bird's eye view it doesn't really need to be full or fancy but should contain reality views of Ketchikan and the local area as viewed from an aircraft.
I'm sure those here can assist you in setting this up.
Welcome again from Ketchikan.

Hello! I heard about this place years ago but never had any of the required base payware to experience everything properly. But over the years I've been slowly building up my payware scenery library with Tongass Fjords X, Orbx PNW, PFJ and SAK (plus a few airports) and then I remembered this place! I downloaded and installed all the libraries and fixes and also Misty's Place and flew in on my Stinson Reliant from Ketchikan. Took a pic of her parked up! https://i.imgur.com/3sA3osR.png
I'm from the UK but I love flying around this beautiful part of the world, going low and slow. I love the little stories that come with the sceneries and how things connect up. It's really neat and really adds a sense of place and of belonging, something that is often lacking in modern flight sims. I'm looking forward to downloading more and exploring more of this world.

Welcome Monty! RTMM can keep you entertained and challenged for literally years. So much to do and see here! If you have any questions, or need help with anything, there's a whole group who are willing and able to give you a hand.
Steve

A warm welcome Sir Monty. Indeed to there is lots available on this site: much scenery and many interesting places to see! And going to them is half the fun!! Welcome aboard and if you need any help just give a holler!
Norm
-
Welcome, Monty! I think you will find that RTMM flying is a lot of fun! Enjoy!
Rod
-
Hello Monty and welcome to Misty's Place!!
If you find you need any assistance, just ask. We'll be sure to help out.
As our old friend "Spud" used to say, next rounds on the new guy!!
Cheers!
-
Welcome Monty! Be sure to check out the Misty Flying Club also. I can't believe Norm didn't mention it. ::)
(raising a glass for Spud! Miss you, friend.) :'(
-
lol Jeff. No I don't usually mention it! (It's just there in the background for if and/or when a pilot wants to be involved in that kind of thing: some like that type of venue while others don't at all.
Ok so now that you mentioned it, if one is browsing the site, they'll come across "MFC" which is our flying club which ventures into rugged terrain and explores the wide variety of RTMM scenery locations that are carried at this site (and more).

Hello Monty,
welcome to the RTMM world! Have fun exploring it......

My name is Doeke easiest way to pronounce is duke.
I am a retired ceo/crisis manager and now take the time to fly.
I flew for more than 1000 hours with the bombardmentgroup i.e B17.
Now it will be bushflying for some while.
I was last year not active with the simulator so now I started the fsx from steam up and put the orbx scenery
in place and started the scenery and library from RTMM.
In the meantime I saw some problems rising.
- I see a lot of water in the mountains and they disappear coming closer
- I have half of the library test objects
- each time when i check the integrety check of steam ,It got 310 files te recover
I have w10 64 bits and a high end computer.
I use this introduction in the same time with some problems but dont know if that is allowed.
last question how do you fly together do you have a 24/7 server availeble?
looking forward hearing from you
kind regards
Duke
-
Hi there Doeke and welcome. (Again). I sent you a large email yesterday with all of the links to MFC, Comms and multi-clients so check your hotmail email account. (Look in your junk folder! Not that we're junk, but Microsoft has been known to make junk of our hard work!.).
It sounds like your scenery order is out of wack - (ORBX Central will do that to you! but so will FTX Central V3 if you don't have the insertion points correctly set.
So to set your insertion points for either ORBX Central or FTX Central (which ever version you are running), go to settings, Insertion points and set the insertion points as follows:
Orbx Airports and Regions) inserted below RTMM Libs. (FTX entries placed below RTMM Libs)
Orbx Global openLC inserted below Tongass Lower priority. (OpenLC entries placed below Tongass lower)
This is necessary to set the correct layering blocks.
Give it a try.
Welcome again and check your email when you have a chance. (I resent today).
Norm
-
thanks but I already did that in orbx settings also in fsx se in scenery i have the right sequince.
also I replaced terrain cfg by the original and installed tonga again after it.
stil the same problem
I spent now days to get started again but like last year I cannot get it done and had always problems with all the scenery of orbx.
so I will try to go on tommorrow but I think I stop with it and wait for the new MS flight.
thanks any way for your quick reply
duke
-
Hello Duke,
Welcome to the RTMM forum. I think you're seeing dark spots, or shadows on slopes, etc. that the sim interprets as water. It is a known issue, I believe. I've seen it on my sim quite often. I can't remember if there is a fix for it though, so I'm not much help. :-\
If you could start a thread and post a pic or two of the area, we could wrap our heads around it. Also, empty your shader cache folder regularly. It couldn't hurt. ;)

Hey guys,
new member from sunny side of Alps (Slovenia, Europe) here. My name is Andrej, started with FS on my Spectrum in 1984, more seriously flying with Falcon 4 and started again in late 2018 with P3D. In times of isolation i read an article about Tongass fjords, installed it and been enjoying it (with complete Orbx NA scenery/airports bundle) big time. Not without any problems but i'll seek help in another thread.
Anyways, thanks for great scenery and series of RTMM enhancements.
-
Hello Andrej,
welcome to RTMM!! Have fun exploring our misty world. there‘s a lot to explore.
Have fun and stay healthy.....that is important these times!
-
A warm welcome to you Andre from the sunny side of the Alps! Hope you enjoy these sites on this side of the world. (Satellite Map of SI: https://tinyurl.com/tu8ecan). If you have any sim problems or questions just give us a yell.
Welcome again
Norm
-
Welcome to RTMM, Andrej. Install the scenery "a little at a time", just like eating an elephant ( a friend used to say). Have fun exploring the fjords and cabin hideaways of Alaska. 8)
-
Welcome, Andrej! Enjoy!
Rod

Andrej, I remember the Spectrum and the Flightsim on it.
I'm not so far from you, based near Innsbruck.
Welcome and have fun!

Oh well, had i known the one about eating an elephant, i would certainly not install all at once and now elephant stepped on an ant and ant has a problem (autogen for PAWG and PAPG missing and no elevation problems when lower and higher sceneries checked, when unchecked, autogen ok but elevation problems for both airports, will search the forum for solution).
Thanks for kind words, will definitely enjoy Tongass and Misty.

LOWI is where i spend a lot of time (Austria Professional HD + Orbx) when flying neighbouring countries.
LOWI - Obermieming - Nassereith - Lermoos - Reute - Pinswang - Schwangau - follow the Lech - EDMA is a wonderfull flight in a GA plane.
Yeah, Spectrum, 48kb and what programmers were able to create out of it. Nowadays, games tend to go almost in TB.
-
Hey thanks for the add. Always been interested in the Bush Alaskan stuff. Made ton's of Alaskan scenery in the 2004 days.
-
Hello Frank. Welcome to RTMM. Enjoy your low and slow Alaskan adventures. :)
-
Hello Frank,
welcome to RTMM ......have fun exploring the misty moorings areas and stay healthy these days!

Hi all,
my name is Werner, I am from South Germany near EDDN. Built in 1950 I am a retired teacher for mathematics and physics. First flight simulator was by Sublogic with C64 home computer. I remember flying down the ILS at Martha's Vineyard felt with 1 fps ;)
Restarted flight simming after a longer break with FS2004, then FSX, where I loved to fly crosscountry glider flights with help of CumulusX for the needed thermals.
The last two years I discovered X-Plane11, learned to build fotoreal sceneries with Ortho4XP and also tried Soaring with that sim.
Now I found an article from 2017 in the german FSMagazin about RTMM and remembered that ORBX NR, PFJ, PNW, SAK and TF are sleeping together with FSX (Sp2) at my backup drive.
The Installation of all the needed libraries was a bit effort, but with help of the excellent help files finally no problem.
First I made a flight to Misty's Place to spend people there a beer 😉.
Then I tried a few automated medical dispatches. Enjoyed these sceneries very much - especially Skeena River Bridge Crash. Phantastic work!!
There is so much to discover ...
Werner
-
Hello Werner. Welcome to the forum. Great luck rediscovering RTMM and Orbx/TFX. Make sure you update any locations that may have changed since you originally acquired them. We've also changed, or grown a lot since 2017. Take some time to read through the NOTAMS and News thread for all the changes that have occurred through time, if you wish. Again, welcome ... and thanks for the round. Prost! 8)
-
Hello Werner,
A big warm welcome to RTMM from an Frankonian working and living in Munich, but my hearts home is where I‘m born which is north of EDDN between Wurzburg and Bamberg......
RTMM offers a huge world for slow and low simming....I fly helicopters in the sim.
Have fun exploring RTMM world. There‘s so much to discover....
-
Hi Werner, welcome to RTMM. I was born in Innsbruck, just 2 nm from LOWI!

Good afternoon,
I thought I had signed for the RTMM forums years ago, but it looks like I didn’t. Hello. My name is Colin and I’m living in the PNW (Vancouver, BC) to be specific. Started with FSX, but now using P3D.
Cheers,
Colin

Howdy neighbor! Welcome to the RTMM forum, finally Colin.
I am also a Pacific NW resident, near Bellingham. Glad you finally got registered. See ya around the forum, eh. :)
Happy New Year to ya. 8)
-
Welcome (back?) Colin from Vancouver.. nothing quite like the PNW! (Indeed one of my fav places to fly!). Glad you popped in. Anyways you're here now.. that's all that counts..lol. Welcome again.
Supper at Jeff's place-He's just 'round the corner from you almost and has the BBQ going!!! lol

Welcome, Colin!
It sounds like you have already been enjoying the hundreds of RTMM Sceneries!
Enjoy!

Hi everyone,
I've been doing flight simulator since FS4 (DOS) and Falcon 3. I got here by way of an Avsim post.
I'm happy to join this forum. I have literally 100's of P3D4.5+ add-on (mostly ORBX). But... I've been taking a break from FS temporarily.
I'm a real-life plane crash survivor. I'm based in San Francisco, California.

How Guys and ladies if her, My name is Sam but i go by Datalus, I'm certainly not new here as I was a member back along time ago when Misty first was started it was pay scenery back then, I dont remember the year but it was a while ago. Anyways I have been flying flight simulator since Microsoft first came out with it,oops I believe I'm giving my age here or should I say close to my age! Anyways I dug out my Microsoft flight simulator x deluxe out and have it loaded again. I loved flying this area! I flew for hours and hours and hours here with many friends I believe I went by Mustang507 been so long i'm not 100% on that maybe some of you remember me! Anyways I'm glad I back. So much has changed since then! I hope I can get it to work!
Thanks Sam a.k.a Datalus
-
Hello Sam,
Welcome back to Misty and flightsimming.
-
Good day "Datalus" and a very warm welcome.. back. (I don't remember you but then I have only been hanging around here for a decade or so). (I guess you have a bit of catching up to install the sim and start building it up to get all the add-ons in. Building the sim is like a hobby in itself but really it's the "same old same old". Hit the scenery page at the top and work down - https://return.mistymoorings.com/scenery/).
Again a warm welcome back Sam.
Norm
ps; (Speaking of Sam... that reminds me of a kids book when I was very little.. had something to do with green eggs as I recall?).
-
Hi Sam,
Welcome back!
Rod
-
Hi Sam, and welcome back. I've been here since the beginning of RTMM, but don't remember any time when Misty Moorings or RTMM had been payware. Doug, Brad? ???
-
Hi Sam! FSX is still good for flying.
Karl
-
Hola, tambien nuevo, aunque llevo un tiempo instalando RTMM, y volando algo. Decidido a por todas. Un saludo y gracias por la aceptacion.

Bienvenido a RTMM. ¡Te deseo mucha diversión!

Hi,
I just wanted to say thank you to everybody involved in making Tongass Fjords available. Now I can search for cabins all along the coast. I really love trying to find them...
Julian
-
Hello Julian,
Welcome to RTMM's forum. Happy hunting. :) Let us know if you need any help along the way, or an audience to take a look at your screenies and movies, etc. Much to discover out there. 8)
-
A warm welcome to you Julian! What sim do you use?
Norm
-
Welcome, Julian!
Rod
-
Thank you all for the welcome! I'm still using FSX. The new sim sure is tempting, but my simming time is very limited and I want to use it for flying instead of installing updates and hotfixes as seems to be the case with MSFS 2020.
Luckily, thanks to you there is a lot to discover in FSX again.
Julian
-
Not exactly new, but returning...
MSFS has brought me back to general aviation flying, and the Bush League Legends Xcubs got me back to backcountry flying. Naturally, I came back to where I had the most fun with that.
I will say, for the record, that I really miss my Carenado C185F, though.
Dipped my toes into the scenery creation SDK yesterday, and put the USFS cabins around Tustumena Lake and Lake Emma yesterday. As I get each region done, I'll put them up on flightsim.to for others to use. I'm also planning to do a couple of the missing airstrips along the Iditarod Trail (Yentna Bend and Skwentna will be first up).
-
Welcome back!
We definitely need some sceneries, by the way. :D
Karl
-
Hello Yoda,
Welcome back and thank you for developing scenery. It is much appreciated. 8)
-
Thanks, Gents!
It's a learning process, for sure. It's hard to believe that I'd never even tried it in three decades of simming!
Kurt

Hi Kurt,
Welcome back! I just sent you a Private Message (PM).

Hi, I’m not really new but been absent for 6 years and happy to see RTMM is alive and well. I have morphed from FSX, FSX-SE, P3Dv4, XP11 and now into MSFS since day two. And having a ball. I expect to be “Returning” here more often. Cheers Anton.
-
Nice to have you back and glad you're still enjoying simming. It is a fun and interesting hobby. Welcome back from down under Anton.
Norm

Hi Anton, welcome!
Karl

Welcom, Anton! Lots more to come for FS2020 users!
Rod

Rob Abernathy here.....
Back again as well. Been lurking a bit but really miss this great group. Been knee deep in MSFS sceneries but need to kick back, relax, and do more exploring in AK. Downloaded the MS001 and will learn how to navigate again. :)
-
Hey Rob, good to see you again. 8)
-
Hi Rob, be sure to have great fun!
Karl
-
Welcome Rob. Lots of lurking to do here.. something old, something (almost) new.... (something borrowed, something blue)!! but navigating remains the exact same! lol. Welcome back Robert.
Norm
-
Thanks guys, glad to be back. I was pretty active until I started testing for Orbx, not realizing how much time that took, and look forward to calmer pursuits. Speaking of Alaska, two weeks ago I was visiting my daughter and family just above Seattle, WA. Wednesday night she says to be ready to go at 4 AM, we're going somewhere. Wouldn't say where until we got to KSEA and I saw two gates. One to KPDX and one to PANC. We went to PANK for the day! Saw all the sights, great lunch, plenty of float planes, plus moose n squirrel. lol I had spent 1 1/2 yrs on Adak Island and didn't realize how much I missed the wide open spaces. Now I'm going to catch up on all the great scenery from Brad, Rod, and others.
-
Hi Rob,
Nice to see you at RTMM once again! Now is a good time to get re-acclimated since there are new, exciting things coming soon for Microsoft Flight Simulator's southern Alaska from RTMM.
Rod
-
Welcome back Bob....hope to see you flying with the Flying Club as well...RTMM is improving daily!!
-
Hello Rob,
great you are back in the RTMM world.....it was quite some time you were away.
-
Great to see that Rob the hog rider is back!! I love that avatar picture! It's nice to see it again in our forums and I hope you stick around Rob.
See you at Misty's
Brad

Well, well, well ... look who the Tradewinds blew in ... gi'day Rob. ;)

Hello! I'm another one of those 'not exactly new, been around before..' faces. I was just getting into the whole modding FSX thing back in 2019, and then life sort of happened, in that way that it does.
Sorry if I left anyone in the lurch - I had been exchanging a few messages with some of the crew about getting scenery mods for the Tongass Fjords area approved for inclusion, and then just sort of vanished - sorry!
My father took ill aroud the time I stopped posting around here, and sadly passed later that year. Then just as we rolled into 2020 I took seriously ill (unrelated!) - two surgeries and long convalecenses later, all during the Covid plague, and I'm doing alright again.
The recent MSFS 2020 progress (float planes!) got me to thinking about simming again, and a buddy just picked it up on xbox and is very enthused.
So I just dropped for a new PC gaming rig (no way my old one was up to the job - it was only just keeping up with FSX!). Delivery on sunday. Can't wait!
Delighted to see there's RTMM scenery appearing for MSFS 2020! My favourite place for flight-simming.
Is there a full Tongass pack available as there was for sale as there was for previous sims?
Either way, enthused to be coming back - hopefully life wont conspire to make me evaporate like so much mist this time!
-
Hey BeardGoblin,
You know you never really leave. Good to hear from you again, and that you're flying again. My condolences to you and your family. Take care out there. 8)
-
Thanks @jeff3163!
Not quite flying again yet, but hopefully in the next 40-48 hours!
Looking up what payware is out there/on the way and browsing for SDK info/tutorials.
I see the Milviz beaver is imminent for MSFS 2020 - seems like I did pick a good time to return!
-
Hello BeardGoblin, welcome back, Enjoy your new rig then!
I love the Bird Dog, you can find it here
https://www.blackboxsimulation.com/index.php/products/fs2020/cessna-l19/
But yes, as soon as Milviz delivers their Beaver, I will not refuse to fly it.

Welcome back! A full Tongass pack for FS2020 is no longer applicable since Tongass did terrain modification, photo overlays, aircraft and ship AI etc. at the FSX level and those type of modifications would not work in FS2020. That said, RTMM does have the licensing from FSAddon to convert and use material from Tongass FSX in FS2020 so you will definitely see Tongass objects in our FS2020 Scenery and more.
Rod
-
Thanks @kaha and @stiletto2!
Yeah, I figured it would mean a re-build from the ground up to work with MSFS2020.
Looking forward to seeing more Tongass 2020 material becoming available then :D
Sadly still not 'flying' yet. All my new kit has arrived, but the case it all needs to go in has been delayed in shipping.
oh well, hopefully tomorrow!
-
Thanks @kaha and @stiletto2!
..but the case it all needs to go in has been delayed...
You could connect the parts anyway. Makes for a decent cooling!
Karl
-
Heh, yeah 8)
I did consider tearing the guts out of my current case so I could build it - but I'd only have to take it all apart again tomorrow.
It's fine, I'm working from home tomorrow, so I won't miss delivery, and actual assembly wont take long.
Then I can leave it installing countless Windows updates and device drivers whilst I go about the tedious business of working for a living ;D

Finally up and running with MSFS2020 as of 00:30 - so no chance to play it yet.
Halfway through my shift today. Sooooooon...

Good to hear you are ready!

Hi all,
Chris here from Pretoria, South Africa, I've been flying X-Plane for many years, lately doing a lot of Beaver flights in the BC, Alaskan pan handle area. I'd never heard of RTMM until watching a NovaWing24 video on the Asobo Husky so quickly signed up and downloaded and set up a career in NeoFly, so far puttering around the area in the Bird Dog, hoping to come across a C140 at some stage.
So far I have flown PF20 to Z43 to PF21 to HYG and enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks, so much, to all involved :)
-
Welcome @ChrisBrowne - I'm recently returned myself - RTMM is a great, helpful community, and their scenery and extras are great!
-
Hello ChrisBrowne, enjoy RTMM!
Karl
-
Welcome to RTMM, Chris. Glad you finally found us. Spread the word. ;) Doug and the team are putting out some great scenery for MSFS2020. It's a great time to join the community. 8)

Welcome to the "Bearded One" "(Beardgoblin)" across the Atlantic on the big Island and to Chris from a bit further away in "down under": Pretoria, South Africa. A warm welcome to you guys to this side of the world.
Norm

Cheers @nbrich1! 8)
Can't say that Island feels particularly big, or united for that matter, just at the moment. But RTMM is a place of comfort and relaxation away from such things, so I'll raise them no further! :-X

"Relax! said the night man. We are programmed to receive. You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave"
Welcome back oh grand and wonderful beardgoblin

Hello Everyone,
I'm John and wanted to extend my thanks for letting me join.
I've dabbled with flying in the wilds since FS9 days and am absolutely blown away by how good the PNW looks in FS2020. The addition of the little details provided by the RTMM team is the icing on the cake and I'm already spending a disproportionate amount of my flying time in the area. Thanks so much for sharing these with us.
Happy flying... I'm going to jump back into the cockpit and explore some more.

Hello everyone,
I'm new to the forum and have been enjoying RTMM tremendously for the past few months now. I would like to say thanks to everybody who contributes to this marvelous gem-packed site!
I am enjoying the manual dispatches very much, with Dispatch 6, “The Lighthouses”, being my favorite at the moment.

Hi,
My name is David and I'm from Melbourne, Florida. I recently discovered Return to Misty Moorings for MSFS 2020 through the Alaska Lighthouses download on flightsim.to. I look forward to joining the Misty Flying Club and exploring Alaska and British Columbia. Maybe after a few virtual visits, I'll plan a trip to visit for real.
David
-
Welcome David.. Many are/were not aware of the RTMM site.. It has been around since the days of FS9 then FSX and P3D as well as latest sim that being MSFS.
Thought since flightsim.to is the largest site out there for MSFS that I would post the flight plans for those that are interested in these areas there and direct back to this site for the actual scenery pieces as some of our scenery (libs) is too large to post at flightsim.to.
Anyways, a whole little RTMM world here on this site. Be sure to have a good look around and feel free to DL the scenery.. (Need the libs for all the objects etc) The scenery makes great adds and/or or enhancements for the sim. (MSFS Scenery page: https://return.mistymoorings.com/z20_scenery/index.php)
At MFC the MSFS tours start at MFS0001 but the most of the previous tours MFC0001-0060 ish (which were really built with/for the FSX/P3D aircraft tables and add-on scenery built for those sims) can also be flown in MSFS with a few little ICAO tweaks or airfield alternates. The scenery and graphics in MSFS make all of these trips nice flights.
If you have any questions or need any help just give us a yell. Welcome aboard David.
Norm
-
Welcome, David! Glad you found us! Enjoy!
Rod

Hello David. Welcome to RTMM's forum. In addition to being a place to download scenery, we are a community of flight simmers who consider ourselves residents of this virtual Alaska. (I do anyway :P)
So . . . welcome to the community. ;)

Hi everyone,
My name's Jef. I loved flying around SE Alaska in FS9 (Holger Sandman's Misty Fjords scenery) and FSX (ORBX). Of course, I also enjoyed the Misty Moorings scenery. I used to be a lurker on the forums here and was a bit more active in the 'Bush Flying Unlimited' group back on AVSIM.
After a few years without much in the way of Bush Flying on my end, MSFS2020 seems to have rekindled the spark and it was a joy to discover this community still alive and vibrant after all this time! I immediately installed several of the Misty Moorings FS2020 sceneries and have spent some happy hours flying around the Misty Fjords area.
Since I like a bit of direction for my flying but without the hassle and in-depth economic simulation offered by Air Hauler etc., I created a quick and dirty 'random mission generator' in google sheets. Good old 'FScargo' did this kind of thing wonderfully in the old sim, but I haven't found anything similar for FS2020.
The sheet generates a random destination from a list of Misty Moorings sceneries as well as a random number of passengers and/or cargo weight to transport in your favourite bush plane.
If anyone's interested in my 'mission generator' sheet, you can find it here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1y6C1DcR3qs2PuiYBvS3qU4GoTNzRH4bvA4iDlTKeRt0/edit?usp=sharing (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1y6C1DcR3qs2PuiYBvS3qU4GoTNzRH4bvA4iDlTKeRt0/edit?usp=sharing)
You should be able to adapt it quite easily to your own aircraft and destinations after you've created a copy or downloaded it for yourself.
I wasn't sure where to add a post to tell the community about my little mission generator, so I went ahead and posted it here along with introducing myself. If you think I should add a note about this to another part of the forums (General Discussion? , From here to there?) I'd be happy to!
Wishing you all another great year of flying in the (virtual) bush!
Jef

Hello Jef, and thanks for the contribution. Welcome to the forum, Sir. 8)

Hello, remember the website from some years ago when I played with FSX a little but never joined in, then MSFS Came along and got back into flight sim during lockdown.
Looks like you guys have created the perfect place for Bush-addicts, thanks for letting me in.
All the best Russ [UK]
-
Welcome Russ from Wales... Yes sir, there is still the FSX/P3D pages here but there was a few of those gents that took the time to study and learn the MSFS SDK and how to create scenery and other items it for the new sim.
There is lot of new little trinkets of RTMM scenery for MSFS which sure add some interesting features and enhancements fore the bush flyer that were missing in the sim from cabins to lighthouses to missing spb.
Hope you enjoy getting back into it.
Wales.. hmmm.. Now that's where we should take a summer vacation or at least a wee bush trip once in a while for a nice change.. from stunning scenery to glorious castles all over the place, sandy beaches, numerous pubs..lol lots of traditional food, lots of sheep and Tom Jones! lol.
Welcome again Russ. If any questions just give a holler.

Hi
Thanks for admitting me. Been simming since FS5.1 and I have aware of this site for years but now I find myself with more time on my hands and looking for a change.
Live in Abbotsford B.C. so the Fjords are not oo far away from home. Presently I run Fs9 rarely, FSXSE mostly and P3dv4.5 also rarely. So invested in FSX with addons.

Hello everyone,
First, thanks to the admin who has validated so quickly my forum registration. I'm Tony, 51, from France. I've been flightsimming for approx. 25 years... with some interruptions like many of us I believe.
I have P3D v4.5 but by nostalgia I have decided recently to reinstall FSX-MS to enjoy the RealAir Scout, FlyTampa Grenadines, and Tongass Fjords X, the best 'flight zone' scenery ever in my view. I have purchased it when it was released but have not enjoyed it to the fullest. And that's my objective this year. I have seen that following the FSAddon Publishing closure, RTMM was granted the rights to host the scenery and make it available to the community for free. That's great and thank you to all the Team.
I have been bush flying in the past but periodically and I was aware of Misty Moorings. I absolutely want to thank the Team for creating a community around bush flying, supported by a superb website and forum with plenty of valuable content and files. Having created and managed a french soaring flightsim community dedicated to Condor, I am aware of the efforts required. Finally I want to say Kudos to the graphic designer/webmaster for the beautiful and classy wooden-style graphics. Who is he/she? Does he/she visit this forum?
-
Welcome aboard, Tony!

Welcome to you Tony.. hope you enjoy flying up in these parts of Alaska, British Columbia, and vicinity. If you have any problems or questions please just give us a yell. Welcome again Tony.

8) Welcome to RTMM, Tony. There's much to take in here, so if you need help just ask. ;)
-
Thank you all for your warm welcome!
Yes Norm, I'm quite enjoying Alaska, British Columbia, and vicinity. Such beautiful places! During the last 3 weeks, after re-installing FSX and resolving some graphics issues, I've been visiting intensively approx. 3/4 of the airfields, seaplane bases, cabins and point of interest of TFX, including unlisted ones thanks to Ed Truthan's Google Earth Map http://www.tongassge.com I start to have the geography of the main places in mind when I close my eyes :D
Dan, I have sent a little donation to contribute to the hosting fees.

Hi All!
Greg from Midwest here...I used to be on the Misty site back in fs2002/2004 and then life got in the way for a while. I have a little more free time now and still have FSX running so thought I would give it a go.
MSFS2020 is probably the way to go now, but that will mean another PC, or at the very least another video card and every time I fall down that gopher hole, I spend way more than I should! :)
Anyway, done the Sport Pilot thing in the midwest around the great lakes and now I am hoping to do a little virtual piloting around the Fjords!
See ya!

Welcome back, Greg. 😎

Not new but have been grounded, the past seven months have been an ordeal. Was in the process of building a new computer for MSFS2020 last DEC. While awaiting the parts, I contracted what they hospital and Dr's called COVID Pneumonia. I'll be damn if I know where I got it, either had to be Costco or Winco grocery store. So I wound up in the hospital for just shy of 3 months and once I got home started on a rigorous program to get my lungs working like they should. Now for the past month got back to the new computer and working with the new MSFS2020, jury is still out, which brings me to a question how many here run both, or sticking with FSX, or switch soley to 2020. Anyway glad to be back amongst the living and starting to add some 3rd party scenery and aircraft. Blue Skies n' Tail Winds to everyone, Jim
-
Well Jim that's quite an ordeal for sure. Lost a couple of friends as well as a couple of previous employees to covid. we are glad that you made it through and are on a road to hopefully a full recovery.
As far as the simulator is concerned, I now exclusively run Microsoft flight simulator 2020.
My rig is not the best but it does the job for now.
Welcome back Jim.

Norm I'd been interested in some of your controller settings I find with the default settings it's very twitchy

Back to my PC next week I think and will try to grab some of the settings for you but in the meantime just try turning down the sensitivities at tad and perhaps do her Windows calibration on your controllers if that is possible.

Shalom and greetings all my pals,
Just joined exclusive Mistymoorings club or you would rather say Misty moorings forums ;D ;D
Flew thousands of flight hours around Alaska via Mountain Air virtual airline, Alaska Airline virtual, Alaska Adventures virtual airline, and Aurora virtual airline and still flying for them around Alaska.
Primarily FSX Deluxe with SP1 and SP2 user but will move to MS2020 in 2 or three years or when MS2020 has all freeware and payware add on planes that you find in FSX.
Need assistance as I am newbie here. I always want for 15 years realistic FSX sceneries for PAOM Nome, PASC Deadhorse PABR Barrow airport, PAKN King Salmon airport, and PADQ Kodiak airport.
Can anyone please be kind enough to provide me very very easy Guide For Dummies instructions on what can I do to get those that I heard that Misty Moorings has?
Thank you for any kind assistance any of you might provide.
BTW, I see on the forums here the Mistymoorings staff member FSRobert who probably recognizes me from past years of other flight sim forums.
Regards,
Aharon
-
Well... I am not "New Here" - more like "Old Here"
I know some of you might feel uncomfortable with this post, but don't worry; I am OK with this news I would share.
I have been reminded of my mortality by the medical trade. My docs have decided I have cancer, which is why I am not here as often as I used to be. I don't know if I dare say "Lucky", but it is in the liver and allows a worst case scenario of a transplant. So it is still a while before the C develops to that stage and there are othe treatments to be had before.
Don't think unhappy thoughts, I will just be going on the same adventure as EVERYONE eventually goes on except that I have the definite knowledge that my new trip may come sooner and not so much as a surprise. I am in the process of making all the necessary arrangements and am happy to save my kids the fuss of 90% of the work, even if I may still be here in a decade.
As for you, my RTMM friends, don't be sad. It has been a privilege and a great time here. I may even find more time to fly round the Moorings every now and then. And should our paths cross some time in that new adventure we can reminisce.
I'll still be around.

Hi I am not new...but, have recently dived into MSFS and am thrilled to be back at RTMM a place where I spent countless hours flying in FSX and P3d before moving to XP11 & XP12.
I couldn't really get the hang of MSFS2020, so I stayed away. I have spent countless hours lately, learning the sim, getting bindings to work, so that I can fly in this sim. All is working well, and now I'm exploring add-ons and this includes RTMM where I have tested out some areas already.
Thank you so much for this wonderful contribution.

Hey you are not new!! lol. but welcome back to RTMM anyways Bryan and in MSFS even! Fun to fly in the material, that's for sure and the area definitely looks nice in MSFS. Lighthouses and docks are my favorite places but most everything is very nice..VFR never looked better..(that is except some of the photogrammetry in the Canada update but it will get fixed!). Anyways, a warm welcome back and if you need any assistance in MSFS just give us a shout. (If you have it already get the MS Linker..it is a big help)

Hi everyone!
My name is Fred, I live in Switzerland.
I have been a fan of Flight Simulator for a long, long time... it goes back to the first Combat flight simulator (1998)...I have been for a long time the webmaster of a site which dealt with Flight simulator and which had as a name AviaSim.ch, it proposed at the time addons for FS 2000, FS 2002 then FS 2004, the site closed in 2006 so that I could have time to devote to my children. Now, they are grown up and I'm back on Flight simulator ;-)
And I would like discover Alaska and Bush flying.
See you !

Hello everyone, thank you for allowing me to join your site. I've been away from simming for a while but now I'm slowly getting back. I enjoy both FS2004 and FSX. In the near future I'm going to take the plunge into P3D V4. My current PC won't run any higher version but that is OK for right now.
I wanted to say a big thank you to all who have contributed to this site and the resources and downloads that are available. I very much look forward to spend some quality time here.
Thanks again,

Hi everybody at RTMM.
My name is Philippe Noël and i'm from Paris / France. I simfly with MSFS 2020.
I've discovered RTMM trough JP Fillion at Quebec FSX. I'm a big fan of Quebec regions IRL and simulations.
I fly RTMM for approximatively 2 weeks now and i'm totally amazed by the quality of your work. I discovered a entire world with this part of Alaska and bushflying with you is a real experience. I really love PF20 wich is now my base camp ;)
I just begin to use Cigarbox and the tours to discover the region but i know it will hours of very nice flights.
Bravo and thank you for your committment for flightsimulation !

Bonjour Philippe.. Welcome from RTMM and Misty Flying Club (pilot MFS0271). There is lots of scenery and tours to explore: some for FSX/P3D and some for MSFS. (I note that you are using MSFS).
Notam: MFC Tours MFC0001 through MFC0063 were designed in FSX/P3D using their airport tables and using RTMM add-on scenery designed for FSX/P3D. (MSFS users may have to tweak ICAO naming convention as well as RTMM some locations that have not been reproduced in MSFS).
Google Translation (in case): Les visites MFC0001 à MFC0063 ont été conçues dans FSX/P3D en utilisant leurs tables d'aéroport et en utilisant les scènes complémentaires RTMM conçues pour FSX/P3D. (Les utilisateurs de MSFS devront peut-être modifier la convention de dénomination de l'OACI ainsi que RTMM pour certains emplacements qui n'ont pas été reproduits dans MSFS).
Welcome again and if you need any assistance just let us know here on the forums.
Best regards
Norm

Bonjour Philippe,
Welcome to RTMM.
My wife and I live in Highland Park IL, and Paris is our favorite travel destination. We have been going almost every year since 2008 and always stay in the 6th.
Now, you are the second Philippe I know in Paris. Our very good friend and his wife live in the 10th. Like me he is also a sim pilot at dc3airways.net.
Perhaps we will have the opportunity to meet on our next visit, hopefully in May 2024 when we will rent an apartment for the month.
Sherm
meilleurs vœux (thanks Google translate).
