Welcome back Martyn !!!
If that was true and actual, I would be a happy man...

Great, detailed shots, especially of the loop. But Meigs Field looks a bit rural...

Is it S43 Harvey Field? This red and white striped hangar looks familiar.
On 2/16/2021 at 4:21 PM, Rob Abernathy said:You guys are good! It is S433. Even with the current snow I thought maybe that red/white building would give it away. Airport is only a few miles from my daughter's house, been there several times IRL.
Just to remind all of us: Wolfgang was correct and would have the right (or duty) to post the next riddle. But... as far as I know he has run out of pictures, and in Corona times he can not even book another flight to make new ones!
So anyone who would like to share a real-life shot of an Orbx airport may start a new task now.

Hope that’s a typo in point b) being an awful (awesome?) flying experience!
Hahaha, you got me Ed! That was just too early in the morning to express my excitement.

I hope Orbx can also be a landmark or city in Asia, such as Guangzhou, Shanghai,
No way to give a proper replication of chinese cities in any sim: They change faster in real life than any programmer could update their software

Nonetheless, Eugene is practically on this 7 days a week and this is no mean feat!
The first area has also increased slightly in size (red shaded area) to make more efficient use of landclass textures.
Fantastic update, Ed, thanks a lot for this.
a) Take your time on making the product meet our expectations (you know Orbx has raised the bar over the last decade...)
b) Great to read the Himalaya is already included in part 1. That will be awful flying experience for us!
c) Nice preview shots. I have done numerous travels through India and will enjoy repeating them virtually.

May I ask you why "luckily"?
Jetstar is famous for no-service. And has the modern nothing-inclusive pricing, which I do not support.

I've been to this field several times IRL. PNW area.
Brr, looks slightly cold...

Does the picture have to be taken by me, personally?
Not talking about copyrights I would say: No. We are here just for fun, not to show our photographical abilities.

I'm guessing Launceston? I see coats.
You got it, Graeme. It is gate 1, next to the north hangar. Jetstar boarding, but luckily this is not the flight I took.

Great white shot, @David Woodford.
Anyone out here with an idea where this sunny moment could have been caught?

First of all I would say this is in Australia, because so far I have only seen this innovative method of using garbage bins for a cordon in Australia.
A good start Wolfgang. As there are no Indian airports (as per now) in the Orbx portfolio you are fully correct!

ps. The camera changes depending on the “active” runway

It was only taken a couple of hours ago Gerold. Their max is 0deg, min -2deg today. My in-laws are English. ... No more clues, I know how well travelled you are.
Hmm, I am no expert in Orbx airfields in Britain - I was slightly disappointed from the quality of the region packs so I did not invest much more there. So I have to make some wild guesses...
There are not many hard-surfaced airfields in the portfolio. My first suspicion would be Shoreham/Brighton?

The other side of the globe mate. I was watching and there were foxes on the runway in broad daylight! I know you know where it is .........
Hmmm, it looks a lot like Germany, but here in the north all the ground would be covered with snow today. So we have to look for warmer areas in Europe...

Havn't visited for a couple of years but a live shot from the webcam. If it doesn't work my apologies. Trying to do this on my phone and iPad. My in-laws live there
Wow, that looks not like I would expect Queensland these days...

Looks like good work... Would it even have Riverfire mode?

The time I took the shots.
Looks like I have to set a flight to that time, for a proper "real life - sim" comparison...

Did you know, this little baby is in Orbx Australia and New Zealand AI traffic packs.
I have never seen it in AI traffic. Does it also land on the beach in the sim?

Lands on the beach too, at Fraser Island.
Been there, seen that. And you are right, this "airport" is included in full detail in an Orbx scenery pack (AUv1 already)

Gerold, please allow me this crossreference:
A fantastic cross-link, indeed, Wolfgang. Thanks for the awareness!
I put Chris´s picture here once again, though y´all know the airport already.
I couldn´t take a picture there, because I was the driver when we passed the runway.

I've been in Singapore and Sydney, so they probably will be among the first purchases after I jumped to MSFS.
I second that, totally. And I am sure Ben and I would be able to supply dozens or real pictures from these magnificient sceneries, err, cities.

I did a panorama from the Aviator Cafe at Fishburn (the newest Orbx freebie)
The file’s a bit too big to upload, so here’s link. Hope that’s ok.
Fantastic. Both the shot and the fact that you keep this thread going!
