Highly recommend you get on their website & check out the freeware offerings.
Of equal quality to Nelson, & they give some interesting semi-rural destinations around NZ.

Thanks, T, will do.

Marvelous story & images!
How did you get the Cutty Sark sails down??
TTM
Thank you, T. The Cutty Sark model has the option to use either sails or not

Thanks a lot, John. If you can cook, I'll let you on board. We need one. And a barrel of rum would be a fine surprise, we've had enough tea the last couple of weeks

John.
Wow, thank you so much, John. I'm happy that you enjoyed my little story and pics.

of the southern hemisphere. I had posted same area a while ago and all the surrounding was completely covered with ice and snow, have to check in other season.
The Cutty Sark is fine modelled and with sails down and crew on the masts a marvelous scenery addition. One of the most lovely screenshot-postings I see here
Thanks a lot for your kind words!!

Looks interesting, John. But how on earth did you come up with this place? Throwing darts at a map?

I wonder, which one will come earlier, MSFS 2030 or OLC Asia

Ok, that might be a slight exaggeration, because it’s not Antarctica that is out of tea. But at Rothera, the British Antarctic Research Station, researchers had to switch to coffee, as their tea supply was lost after a small fire in one of their storage containers.
Help was needed, fast. As luck had it, the Rothera team got notified that the famous tea-clipper Cutty Sark, with her belly full of the finest Ceylon first flush Darjeeling, was just approaching Cape of Good Hope. Immediately a radio was sent to her captain to change course south. Luckily this was accepted.
After a couple of days, the Rothera station got her old Short Sunderland underway to look out for the ship.
First, it’s careful maneuvering through the small icefield near the station. Hard to believe, but some of them are really drifting
After some thirty minutes in the air, we finally spot her
And here she is…
In all her glory, under full sail
The captain has to be careful, the first small iceberg passes lready close by
Don’t hit anything, your hull was not built for this
It gets darker and the ship gets closer to the Rothera station
Close to the station, Cutty Sark drops its anchor and sails. She has to wait for the Polarstern to guide her through the icefield (This Cutty Sark is equipped with an engine)
Finally, Cutty Sark is safely moored at her unloading station
(Scenery and icebergs are by Aerosoft, available here on the Orbx site, Short Sunderland and Cutty Sark are a port over by yours truly)

absolute stunning shots, I saw these yesterday on my phone but it doesn't do them justice, look so much better on the PC screen....
Thanks a lot, Wayne. I fully agree with you, a nice, big PC screen reveals a lot more than than our Iphone screens

What a nice collection, Carlos. For some reason I like the old Moscow better than the modern part of it.

I would like to call this a nice intro for the OpenLC Asia flights, if there was more confidence for progress.
Thanks a lot, Gerold! And yes, I can understand your frustration

Delighted to see that C-19 hasn't flattened you!!
Still breathing normally, luckily. Sorry for not having posted for some time here. I was busy with another project that had kept me from flying very often

I have been to Gilgit twice courtesy of the Pakistani Airforce. But flying from Gilgit to Srinagar is a deadly exercise, as the Indian Airforce will hunt you down, as soon as you venture into Indian airspace. Luckily there is no such thing in MSFS. Freedom rules the skies!

Oh yeah, lovely bird; a bit tricky to land, when you come in at 180 knots
