This Sunday marked the conclusion of our six week long tour of Central Asia, the final destination being Irkutsk, Russia. Luke173 decided to enhance the fly-in experience for us by making an OpenSceneryX-based custom scenery package specifically for the fly-in. Even though the airport buildings were generic library objects from OpenSceneryX and not the actual buildings in Irkutsk, these combined with the detailed taxiway layout really made quite a difference. Interestingly enough, between my aircraft choices for this fly-in, I didn't end up using the yoke once... all four aircraft are better controlled with a joystick, or in the case of the balloon, not controlled at all!
