AWCEO PA18 20251124 TPO001 PATK PAUO 047 - JoaoPaz - 11-24-2025
This is a flightcheck of a first route in the upcoming series Tundra Pilots (Ops) - a new AW feature coming soon
Not to give out too much I'm flying from Talkeetna to Willow, mail run, early morning, beautiful weather (starting easy) following the Parks Highway.

Great shots. I am impressed by dirt details on the tires of the plane in your opening screenshot.

Default Piper Super Cub with REP - Reality Expansion Pack (payware editing and augmenting the default aircraft, adding new shapes, functions, etc) X-Planes "allows" you to do that as you have an aircrfat and scenery editor enclosed. But default aircraft look and fly awsome out of the box
Thank you, Aharon!

Need to start saving up for those XP12 addons. That looks fantastic. In some respects, I actually like the XP presentation over the FS with what I see there.

Hi Gerard, thank you!
What you see here: X-Map Enhancement - I have the pro version but the free version looks probably just as great.
Sim heaven X-World America - buildings and streets, vegetation, based on OSM data, not really autogen - freeware
Orbx Global Forests V2 - budget pay ware.
Alaska By Air - enhancing a few hundred airports in AK - freeware
The default Super Cub - several expansion packs developed for it. Two of those are free and the sim coders is a relatively inexpensive addon.. but no visible effects of this flight
You can tell I'm loving it

Thanks! Don't know why, but I can't seem to download anything from Sim Heaven.

Strange.
I have 3 files:
simHeaven_X-World_Vegetation_Library.7z
simHeaven_X-World-America-3.0-full.7z
simHeaven_X-World-Europe-3.0-full.7z
Vegetation is a small one but the other two are close to 10GB each.
