    Cataract Gorge.

    It's about half a Km behind where I live in Summerhill

    Launceston. It flows down into the Basin which has public

    swimming pools for free and picnic and play areas.

    I can still hear the water rushing down the gorge now after

    recent rain falls.

    Sorry I can't do any pics I never really learnt.:wacko:

    It's worth looking up though.:)

    cheers

    Oh I can understand this, Gumby. I was there in 2002 for the first time, and do not forget it. I do have a picture of myself on the Alexandra suspension bridge, and I look much younger than today...

    You really hit a point for me with this topic, Rodger.

    I use to simulate trips that I have done in reality in the past or would like / will do in the future. BTW, this often touches another hemipsphere with opposite seasons.

    This means, in p3d I use to fly with "Live Historic Weather" from Active Sky.

    In MSFS I still struggle with this, and will now check what "Rex AccuSeason" does. In the meantime I only use "few clouds", for the same reason as everyone above.

    My choice currently is "REX Weather Force 2020". Flying on the other hemisphere or in other than the current season I can choose a "dynamic weather preset", which slowly changes the conditions during the flight. Still not "real historic", but at least a little surprise in it.

    In general my intention of flying is already summarized by Bluebear above:

    I like to see parts of the world that I could never see in real life, or I visit countries I have already been to.
    I like the variety of very interesting aircraft and their different flying characteristics.
    In general I like the peacefulness in the civil simulation, no wars or conflicts, no aggression, no paternalism or dictatorship, no suffering.

     

    Having said that, you may know that I have started trying MSFS only recently. For today I can summarize:

    • I am fascinated by the impression the scenery gets in MSFS even by default - and the potential to pimp it up by tons of freeware.
    • But flying the study level planes in my well-known p3dv4 brings more flight-simming fun. Plus, I have a full ecosystem with AS real historic weather (and seasons to adjust).

     

    I will continue to use both sims - and therefore I strongly hope that Orbx reads this and continues the OpenLC Asia project.

    MSFS helis are trimmable after you assign a couple of buttons or keys to the specific helicopter trim control. 

    Got it. Not very precise, but relaxing. Thanks for the hint, John!

    Hmmm, that means I need to do more research in the sim...

    Melbourne is incoming!

    OT question, have you finally switched to MSFS Gerold?

    See the screenshot forum Wolfgang. Gerold has taken the leap, and with an awesome rig! :)

     

    Graeme´s got it. But not finally: My current intention is:

    • Travelling IFR with study level planes in P3D
    • Then switching to VFR in MSFS, as good as I can learn the new sim.

     

    So Melbourne is one of the important places for me to make the link.
