Any folks interested in "after hours" pattern work?

Planning a flight, looking for others to come along?

Another fun morning for three of us in the pattern hopping between KBWC and KCLR :D

Please PM with availability if you are interested so we can get a feel for best days/times to post here.

This seems cool but I have a heck of a time seeing other traffic when I fly P3D. Does anyone else notice this issue? I literally don't think I have the aircraft in my sim. P3D excludes many models FSX has like the C172, B737 etc - could this be a factor?

Flying XP10, aircraft are too easy to see (it's my easy go-to night sim hehe)

I just moved to P3D but, so far so good, and have had no problems spotting other aircraft, unless their position reports were way off ;)

Ryan,

Pe uses the aircraft/pe.smd file if you are using the p3d version of the pe application. It uses many of the p3d default aircraft.

Jiva, that's great news. I'd suggest a new forum topic with the date and time in the subject.

I'll see if I can join this time or another. Living in Germany, it's not always favorable for me to fly during the operating hours, so I'm definitely in for this!
