  1. Excellent stuff, that mesh really changed the Himalayas to the better
  2. Great shots, Gerold. I envy you going to Singapore. I had planned to do this again in January, but for the time being, I have cancelled all my trips to Asia and beyond. Maybe in 2023 after the 7th Corona wave...
  3. Magnificient shots, buddy, and glad to see you here again !!
  4. John, is it just me or does the texture of the door in your second shot looks different to the rest of the fuselage. I had this plane in P3D and I don't recall it looked like this in that sim.
  5. Nice captures of a great old bird, T. Somehow I got the feeling that those FSX planes and their VCs look much better in MSFS than in FSX, even without any further fine-tuning.
  6. Great shots, Don. I got that mod too. Boy oh boy and there's even a faster one: the Vertigo Turbo Extreme. 540 nmh? No problemo
  7. Great shots of a rather short adventure
  8. Hahaha, thanks, Gerold. I did that, looks really great, especially in winter in rough weather. But I can't show those pictures here, there is no Orbx Norway mesh (yet)
  9. Many thanks Landon. That movie, you are referring to is "The final countdown", starring Kirk Douglas and Martin Sheen and using the USS Nimitz. It's fantastic!
  10. Orbx Alaska mesh and the Orbx Juneau airport that came with it. If this is not enough, please remove my post.
  11. Nice flight, Gerold. Pity for the weather though. That area can be so beautiful to fly over.
  12. Two great screenies. The first one is my favorite
  13. I was doing with a friend a leisure flight around Shelter Island, northwest of Juneau… …when we spotted this. Wow, she is huge That must be the Tirpitz I’ll ask the captain to bring me back to Juneau airport. Let’s see how close we can get to it If nothing works out, I can hopefully use their on-board Arado plane It's going to be tight. But I can see already the red roofs of some of the airport hangars I just love, what we can do now in MSFS Ok, that’s as far as we can get without running the ship aground Let’s back up and turn her around slowly and head south instead for the port of Juneau
  14. Great shot, Landon, very atmospheric. Btw, that ship is the USCGC barque Eagle.
  15. Splendid, John. How long did it take you to get to the summit
  16. Many thanks for your kind comments John, Adam and Wayne!
  17. Many thanks, John Thanks a lot, Greg Thanks, buddy. The yacht is the FSX one from Deltasim Thank you very much I'm happy you like them Carlos Many thanks, Gerold. I knew you would like them And of course you are correct re the people, even the noise, pigeons, even cows etc are part of the unique Indian experience. The only thing I can easily do without are stomach cramps from some of the dinners I had there, even in good restaurants.
  18. Having been to Mumbai so many times, this scenery was an instant buy for me. I only hope that the developers will one day also add Dehli, because this part of the world desperately needs more quality coverage. Like in the good old days, I arrived at my destination by boat. But of course I did not expect to get the royal welcome treatment Instead nobody bothered, which was fine of course My preferred stay in Mumbai was the Taj, and if possible a room in the old wing. It gives you the feeling that the days of the Raj are back. Maybe Gerold, who must have been to Mumbai as often as me, likes this hotel too The view from the hotel’s roof is quite nice The swimming pool looks a bit better in reality, but that's alright Of course the adjacent newer hotel complex offers from its top an even better view An Indian business associate of mine invited me one day for lunch at the Royal Bombay Yacht Club (they never changed the name to Mumbai Yacht Club and dress code is still today strictly observed). But before we went there, he showed me a photo, quite similar to this one and asked me, which of these two buildings would I think to be the Yacht Club. I have been to the Karachi Yacht Club for lunch, so I pointed to the right building, as it looked very similar. Of course I was wrong, it is the red building to the left. The right one in this case is a hospital. A bit of trivia: when you enter the Yacht Club, it gives you the impression that the British Raj has actually never left India. The beauty of virtual travel is that you have the place you visit all to yourself. No pigeons, no vendors, no huge crowds and no one tries to steel your wallet Thanks for viewing
  19. OMG, where did this one come from?
  20. I very much hope so too, John. If they are willing to invest in the Orbx scenery, otherwise...
  21. First of all, this is terrific news. But, and this is a big but for me: like Chris aka AnkH, I have many NZ freeware airports from the Tonga site. If they now become incompatible with this product, I don't see a point in buying it. For me this means, I will wait with the purchase until I know, what is going to happen in this respect.
