I am starting up a branch of DoW Air in the Pacific NorthWest.
It will be for :
• Site seeing,
• Transportation
• Firefighting.
This is a small operation. A helicopter and a plane.
The Pacific Northwest (in the United States, commonly abbreviated as PNW), sometimes referred to as Cascadia, is a geographic region in western North America bounded by the Pacific Ocean to the west and loosely, by the Rocky Mountains on the east.

Not a requirement but definitely nice to have :thumbsup
You still fly?

I really haven't much because of steam crashing so much, and here I got rudder pedals for myself for Xmas. I really liked Ideal Flight, it rememberd your planes location and conditions. But that doesn't work at all in steam. Tempted to delete steam and go back. I ran smooth before, but it was my older system. I ran into some activation issues with steam but resolved. That's why it would be a bummer to go through it all again!

A basic install is where to start. Adding a ton of addons/DLC's can easily break things. :smashing-computer
I have a basic intall and it works :thumbsup

But add one is what makes it beautiful and expensive!

Fire!
A call came in at 14:20...There was a fire approximately 5nm south east of our airport. Not sure what the cause was but I jumped in my trusty S64 and managed to put it out. I had 4 trips to the river to refill with water. It was a small fire on the side of a mountain. Maybe campers.....
