Are you guys seeing, or able to go to, these seaplane bases for BC in FSX? You should be able to see them in FSC and Plan G. If you're not, then check that the Orbx service packs are installed. I think it's SP3. I'm able to start at all these bases.

Or do you mean other bases?

Hi Barry,

I can see them now! I just had to follow your advice on the service packs, I had downloaded them a few days ago but hadn't gotten around to maintenance installs because I was so excited with the eye candy installs

It looks like I have to rebuild the Plan-G database before they show up there though, which I'm doing as I type. Thanks for the answer, much appreciated!

Where did you dig up the list of airports by the way?

Gary

It was somewhere on the Orbx forum. You'll want to join that forum if you have not already. It's crucial for keeping up with the updates and patches, which are being made constantly. Also make sure you always have the latest Libraries installed on top of the other Orbx scenery so you see everything.

Be aware - I think that the Seaplane base at Vancouver was left out by mistake, and they may not have added it yet. So don't pull out your hair looking for it! (that was posted on the forum).

Happy flying!

PS-yes you do have to update the Plan G (it's a pain ain't it?
Too long!)

Not even sure where this was snapped

There is a complete list of all the NRM, PFJ, and PNW airports in .doc format available on the Orbx forums at http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/27223-ftx-north-america-pnw-pfj-nrm-airport-lists/

Also if anyone is interested, I've converted that list to an .ods file for use in spreadsheet applications so that it can be sorted by the various fields (icao, city/town, runway type, and lat/long.) to make it easier to find seaplane bases for instance if anyone is interested in a copy let me know. The .ods also contains airports for "SnowDog Tours" scenery and "JT's Alaskan airports."
