Beautiful images Bernd.
The old AF livery does indeed suit the 787 so well.
A quick first glance of the nose made me think of the Caravelle!
Many thanks, Martyn. Yes, it looks pretty similar on a quick glance

But I must ask.
What sort of cargo are you carrying just between you and me?
cheers

Thanks a lot, Gumby. Jack suggested rubber chickens

I'm glad you like them, buddy

4 hours ago, ikbenik said:Very nice serie of shots over a grandious scenery. In a quick glimp on first shot seeing the livery, I directly saw the legendary and aerodynamic French Caravelle.
Of coarse directly afterwards realised it's the current B787. But the 'Sud Aviation Caravelle' should be available as a vintage airliner, let's hope in the future as addon.
Yeah, it would be great to have a classic plane like this in MSFS
3 hours ago, andiflyit said:Very nice set Bernd, the cockpit of your 787 looks great. There's a lot of reflection/alpha channel on the fuse, relly shines.
Thanks a lot, Andreas, she shines alright, but it's not yet blinding my eyes

Great shots indeed
about the cargo.....
Many thanks, Carlos. Flying there is really interesting with a lot of changes in the terrain
2 hours ago, Sniper31 said:Alright Bernd, for a small fee (maybe some beers
) I will not say anything about your questionable cargo and flying tactics. Meanwhile, I will enjoy these great looking images and maybe I will check into the cost of doing "business" down in that region of the globe. Maybe I will have to move in on your territory....that is, if I go thirsty 
Thanks a lot, Landon. Although I'm a German, I'm actually more into wine, make that the red variation

Rubber chickens?
I remember in the first Top Gun movie Maverick was told not to screw up, otherwise he would be flying rubber dog shit out of Hong Kong 1 hour ago, BradB said:Marvelous shots Bernd .
Many thanks, my friend (and no deja vue today, maybe later

This time I decided to visit the northern part of South America. Should you ask me, what sort of cargo I carry, I’m not at liberty to say. And yes, on occasion I fly way to low for this kind of aircraft. It’s all part of the grand scheme of things.
I think she carries this old livery quite well

Superb screenies, Adam. I bought that plane too, she is a rocket

and on a nearby road in 1935 T.E Lawrence had a motorcycle accident which resulted in his death
Great shot, Martyn. If I remember correctly the movie "Lawrence of Arabia" started with that accident.

Great shots, Wayne. I try to stay with two sims, XP11 and MSFS (although I still have P3D v4.5 installed), but I have to admit that I rarely fire up XP11 these days. MSFS is just so much better, when it comes to scenery. XP11 and P3D are great in areas, where you have the Orbx TE series installed, Oh well, so many options

Very cool shots, Martyn. I agree with you that some of the weather presets in default MSFS overly expose the screen. And some others make the screen look darker than necessary. That is why I either fly with live weather or like you with SoFly.

Really am loving these SA mountain images Bernd, well done! You have managed to show off the mesh nicely. I have yet to purchase this, but the more I see, the sooner I will end up getting it.

Thank you very much my friend

Thanks a lot, Gerold, Yeah, but maybe two will suffice. Otherwsie we might overstress our remaining little grey cells

I think, it will be worth it, Wayne

Many thanks, Paul

Scenery wise, the sim has so much to offer but I am finding it so hard to learn and most of all remember.
You are not alone, Martyn
5 hours ago, andiflyit said:Great set Bernd, wonderful shots. I can't say if the mesh is good or not so far but I will install it and also post some shots.
Thanks Andreas, I think you will like it

I do Ushuaia - Puntarenas when I'm too lazy
Or Ushuaia Puerto Montt
Bernd there is a freeware in flghtsim.to that might intestest you for OHiggins, there are other good ones too like El Loa airport. And payware there is plenty.
https://flightsim.to/file/13046/lake-o-higgins-project-scoh-scio-sctp-aysen-chile
It enhances the area with some airports improvements
Cheers

Thanks Carlos for the tip. I'll take a look

Some really great shots of this low & slow flight, exploring the scenery details, Bernd.
Would you do me the favour to look for Cerro Torre as well? T´was desperately missed in my old sim...
Many thanks, Gerold. Here you go:
Actually, I think it doesn’t look too bad for a 10m mesh. But to get it more life-like, I guess someone like Frank Dainese needs to work on it from the ground up. I have his scenery of this area for XP11 and it looks fantastic:

Nice flight. The Orbx mesh really make SA shine. I hope they will do Africa next. The rift valley looks ok in default MSFS, but at 10m it would improve significantly

I was really keen to try the new Orbx mesh for South America and I must say, it is superb, especially at this price!! Many thanks to all, who were involved in this project. I hope you will sell many copies of it, so that it was a worthwhile undertaking. Will Africa be next with the rift valley
Above the Parque Nacional Los Glaciares, here the amazing Cono Glacier
Ok, Torres del Paine is a bit of a let down. Maybe this can become a separate project?
North of the Parque Nacional Bernardo O’Higgins. This looks just unbelievable!
South of the Parque Nacional Laguna San Rafael
Further north we experience less snow
We turn NW towards Santiago
At FL180 and descending into the Santiago valley. Descending? Now? You can’t be serious
This looks so amazingly real
We have finally cleared the mountains. Over a small town north of Santiago. It’s called Colina and that light blue lake down there interests me
Wikipedia says this: Ayres de Chicureo is a locality in the province of Chacabuco north of Greater Santiago and this light blue lake is artificial and is being used as huge swimming pool
Welcome to SCEL Santiago
Again, the mountains look so real (and so close)!!
I know, where I’m going to fly the next couple of days.

Great shot, Martyn. I think you should give MSFS more time to grow on you. Coming from XP11 myself, I also found it in the beginning a bid strange. Now it has become second nature and considering you live in Aussie country, there is sooo much scenery, airports, cities available for both Australia and NZ; you'd love to explore it and on top, it looks very real! Just my two cents

Amazing landscape and colours, Bernd. Makes for a perfect camouflage of the Kodiak...
PS: Did you try to fly through the arches?
Many thanks, Gerold. Hahaha, no I didn't attempt to fly through one of them. I didn't see one that was big enough to handle the wings of the Kodiak and give me sufficient space behind it. As John remarked, maybe Jack would have tried.

Thank you very much Paul.
17 hours ago, Sniper31 said:Beautiful images Bernd. I love that area in real life. So much fun adventure to be had in Moab, Arches National Park and Canyon Lands. Thankfully, it's only a few hours drive away from me. Your sim images have captured a good feel of the scenery there.
Landon
Many thanks Landon. I have been to Utah and Nevada a couple of times. I really enjoyed the majestic landscape there. Getting early in the morning with a hot coffee out of your motorhome and see the sun rising over Monument Valley is an experience I never forget in my life.

The scenery and colours are impressive.
I thought the same as Gerold and thought you were lining up one of thise arches!
Thanks a lot, Martyn. Had there be one big enough, I think I would have tried
