Introduction
Welcome to OZx3.3. This is our latest upgrade in the series and includes some great new
airstrips and scenery for even more virtual flying in Australia.

This release of OZx is really a small tribute to the pioneering, tireless and inspirational work
of Mark Lee. Mark has been the core of OZx and its philosophy. He has created a vast
number of OZx airstrips, landmarks and hundreds of the custom 3D objects that we enjoy.
Even the maps and user manuals are Mark’s handiwork. He has fostered our fledgling
scenery designers, and brought our collective works together to make OZx such a wonderful
(free) product.

Thanks Mark, you’ve done us all very proud Mate. Enjoy the break, but come back soon!

Some things to do in OZx3.3

Experience the beauty of Tasmania. Ken’s Burnie (Wynyard) Airport is the perfect place to
begin your Tasmanian odyssey, and is only an hour’s flight from Melbourne across the
waters of the Tasman Sea.

Moving to the west coast of Australia, fly inland from Perth or Jandakot and navigate more
accurately by using some of the dozens of photo-realistic lakes, dams and mines in the “tiger
country” that frames the most isolated city in the world.

The wheat-belt town of Wagin is just a short hop from Narrogin or Katanning. Drop in and
share a beer with the fellas at the Aeroclub there.

Skim the alien moonscape of dry salt lakes that lead to Dumbleyung in Western Australia.
There’s a small farm with an airstrip to the south of Lake Dumbleyung. There’s bound to be a
fresh batch of scones on offer.

Not far from Bunbury in Western Australia is Wheeler Field. Rumour has it that there are
several WW2 trainers hangared there. Beware the kangaroos.

Carved out of the trees, are airstrips at Nannup, North Dwellingup and Mundaring Weir.
Refuel and refill your fire-bomber at these challenging landing spots.

Head back to the east of our continent and buzz the cows in country Victoria. Maybe take
home some ice cream from the Fonterra Dairy Plant next to the Cobden Airfield. Also worth
a visit is Euroa Airfield. Nestled amongst the Strathbogie Foothills and The Great Dividing
Ranges, it has top year-round weather for skydiving,

Discover many of the other surprises that OZx adds to this virtual world. Most importantly,
enjoy the flight, and be sure to share your experiences on the forum at www.aussiex.org .
