The RAAF and RFDS ( Royal Flying Doctor Service) use the South Australian side of the border on the Eyre Highway for emergencies.
There are other locations as well marked for fixed wing landings in the outback ,
I hope the Asobo update honours these strips!
That’s cool, I didn’t know that. What do they do about car traffic? Do a fly by similar to a roo run?
Yes there is nothing out there most of the time so there is plenty of time to get down between cars and trucks! Normally the police will close the road as well as they are the ones that find the accidents.
Good stuff. Have they come out and said what will be included in the Australia update yet? If not, do they usually before the release date?
I have not seen anything but anything will be better than what we have now. I am sure someone ( if not me) will model these RFDS strips once Australia has had a world update treatment.
I know they have these in Europe too for the military but they hide them as opposed to these which are really well marked.
Yeah I hope so. I love flying the King Air in the RFDS or Air Ambulance liveries.
The RFDS pilots are the closest you get to real life super heroes. My good friend was once for 10 years and quite often he would have twigs in the landing gear from getting into and out of places to save lives. The RFDS staff are held in the highest regard in Australia.
Yeah I see them fairly often in my job. Some of the strips they land on are crazy. I’m hoping to do a ride along one day purely to try and jump up front with the pilot!
Yeah, I hope the emergency road strips are included too. BTW, even now in the Sim you can just make out the emergency strip road markings in some locations. I saw them when I made this video but I ended up editing out the relevant bit! You may enjoy the video anyway, if you have not already seen it. Cheers, and here’s hoping!
I hope the world update will allow your videos to be even better!
