    Thanks a lot, John. The colourful ground markings in KLAX are something quite special, whyever they have painted them...

    Beautiful contrasts all the way through that set congrats!

    Thank you TT. From the sea to the sand. From crowded to lonely. All possible titles for this flight...

  2. Time to escape the city of LA over the weekend.

    The coastal El Segundo dunes are probably not a quiet place to rest, ...

    ... just under the 4 runways of KLAX.

    And the Chevron refinery doesn´t make the nearby beaches much more attractive.

    Redondo Beach, a place not less crowded, ...

    ... and Long Beach also just wears this name, but not too useful as a hideway as well. But these details & sharpness make me enjoy p3d with only little doubts (click on the picture to enlarge).

    Huntington Beach, where Jurgen Klinsmann lives since decades.

    Some traffic ahead, as I begin to turn inland...

    ... and climb over the San Mateo mountains.

    Descending along the motorway to Banning, ...

    ... and the Morongo Casino. I remember there have been some advertising signs posted next to the road, but I can´t spot them from this altitude.

    What can be seen are the San Jacinto mountains and the desert behind.

    I forgot to take the obligatory landing picture at Palm Springs, but I promise to get you one from the start!

  3. I was driving in a Beetle as well. I always remember its winter performance: The ventilation was bad, so the windscreen used to ice from the outside AND inside. The advantage of that car was the plain screen: You could use a scratcher to improve de-icing. On the other hand, having the motor in the back combined with rear-wheel-drive made slippery roads quite challenging.

    The smallest car I ever sat in was an orange Fiat 500. Luckily enough it had a big removable roof, so you could even strech you back and arms.

    Great shots - never knew the Castle was there!

    Thanks TT. I knew it from tellings of a collegue, and some good soul has also put it into the SCA region pack...

    Great set Gerold.  What landmark is that in the "Yes, its here" shot?

    Thank you JJJ. Indeed it is Hearst Castle, and it even has a little airstrip down at the coast.

    Hey Mate Great shots! Look i was wondering what b200 you are using and if you could pease link the repaint :)

    Hi Tommo.

    Looks to be the Carenado B200.  I believe this paint was at OzX years ago and unfortunately most of the files for repaints have been lost since the site was hacked.  Sent you a PM.

    Cheers,

     

    Hi there, Scott is fully right: It is the Carenado B200. And the livery VH-MVJ is quite probably lost from the web. Well, not here...

    Thanks John. Not on fire in the sim, at least. Have things gone for the better during the past weeks?

    Î think those waiting since ages for this might deserve a statement of the actual state of this project and its future.

    Indeed, a little notification would be motivating. Once the interest is gone, it is gone.
