Default Taxiing to Parking in the North 40 -- Too cool!

In searching for ways to enhance our "Oshkosh training experience" for
our pilot guests, I discovered a Microsoft download for enhanced
Airventure Flight Simulator scenery that actually shows the grounds in
such detail that you can taxi to parking -- in the North 40!


Way back in the days of FS98 (or may have been FS2000), there was a
community of folks that would do a "virtual fly-in" during the week of OSH.
One year that I had to miss the REAL fun, I decided to see how the
cyber-geeks did it. Was actually pretty cool.

With their online ATC guys going, I flew the entire Fisk Approach with 1-way
comm and had to share the route with about 30 other guys. I think all total
there were about 150 planes at the "fly in". Was pretty cool, even though
most of the people flying in were in 737's and the like

Now with this new scenery pack you're talking about, I'll bet I can taxi,
park and hand my wallet to the Poberezny's too! Just like the reall thing!
