A nice departure in cool-looking weather, Carlos. I had similar views with 35+°C last summer, showing your shot #6 is really accurate:

Not our local landscape but our very local backyard on Christmas morning. That's me in the foreground with my wife and two of our kids (and our son's girlfriend). It was such a great Christmas day!
Cheers

We did nearly the same on Christmas. Just not at a pool, and with heavy clothing. And no sunglasses. And no sunshine. So, nearly the same.
Let me show you some pictures of Hanover.
The (remaining) old inner city:
Our "New Town Hall" (not new in the sense one would use the word usually):
The quarter where I live

Lovely shots once again, Carlos. I have covered the European part completely (Amsterdam, Prague, Vienna, Innsbruck). The rest I will probably not make in this life... that´s where virtual travels come into play!

The Million Miler does it again. Of this post I have been to New York (like most others, I assume), Narita, Cologne, Amsterdam and Bangkok. I love those memories!

You´ve been collecting quite some bonus miles, Carlos. Out of this post I have only been to Olbia, Bangkok and Nagoya...

The next virtual flight tours for me will be preparations of upcoming travels:
- Australia: Victoria (Melbourne - Great Ocean Road - Grampians), Tasmania: Launceston (just to let you know, @gumbypickett ) - Cradle Mountain - Strahan - Hobart), NSW: (Sydney)
- Southern Africa: Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Cape Town
You can be sure I post as much as I can, given the condition that there is some Orbx-sold stuff in it.

Seems I should show these clips to my travel mates ahead of our upcoming safari… 🤣
Now I see these movies are taken in fenced areas with all east European people. Probably a Zoo. Crazy.

Good that I will only visit Victoria, Tasmania and finally Sydney next month… 😉

maybe someday in the future of course after this long present crisis in the area... a kind of aperture of the sun between dark clouds ... Here is an interesting link about travel feasability bythere and around : https://againstthecompass.com/en/travel-to-iran-ultimate-survival-guide/

Quite a way to go, at least for me. Quicker to make are my wishes for a HNY to you!

Yes, and it seems to be improved in v6 compared with v4.5, flying works very well in v6. The aircraft is very stable.
Also in Xplane it's much better than in the game- and weathersimulator. And there are other details. These clean aircraft paints for example,
this is not what a simmer is used to since FS9. I bought a few for the jets and for a very little money but don't like that.
Asobo are game designers and they create a game where no sliders for brightness, contrast, saturation and gamma exist? Incredible.
And there is not even a postprocessing tool available, I have a good one in Xplane because Laminar did the same mistake.
I cannot load an aircraft from the runway which is really silly and so on...there are enough reasons to use P3d or Xplane.
I use the game- and weather simulator to fly in Japan because of the scenery, it's of course well done there and most interesting. 🙂
So, as I said before, I hope that the entire addon designers will start working for P3dv6 in future.
I can fully agree to your thoughts. And I wonder how many other simmers make these observations - and how long it takes until the market reacts?

new work from Jarrad Marshall since his Aerofly activities. P3dv6 is waiting! 😄
I have just flown some heavies in p3d and I can say: Agreed. Piloting in p3d is much more rewarding than in the game simulator with its beautiful ground scenery.

Wouldn´t it be great if these fantastic places could be visited in peace and freedom?

A good old plane with this good (old) classic scenery.
Manfred and @Jarrad Marshall have done great works.

Working fine with the trustmaster stick.
You mean just a HOTAS stick? That would be good. A special helicopter equipment is not on my wishlist...

I think the blades go round and round Gerold ....... 😉😁
It always confuses me that the wings are moving. I never know where the flight is heading to!

Thank you Gerold! Here you can see some shots with the FT YSSY, by your special request! 🙂
It works but needs some frames extra. And if I'm right the first version of the airport is older than the Orbx City scene and this is the problem.
So everybody can decide for themselves if they want to use it together with the Sydney City Scene or not.
Thank you for the sacrifice of time to return to YSSY and make some more screenies.
I remember one should just deactivate the FT-Landclass for YSSY, then it works fine on my end.

The city looks good, Andy. Did you think of adding the FT airport to your system (would also slow it down, yes...)?

A spectacular helicopter, Raffles. How does it work?

Our New Zealand tour, part 1
in Community Screenshots
Posted
As many of you will remember, one catecory of sim flights I do is re-flying trips that I have done in real life. Posting screenshots from these flights, I often added some real life-photos. This has become more challenging in the last years, due to two reasons:
Now that some more attractive payware sceneries have been established, I will try to take up my documentation practice again - let´s see if I can manage it.
Last February we travelled with some long-distance night flights to New Zealand, overcoming our jetlag and starting our tour in Queenstown.
We went down to the southernmost point on the planet I have been until now: Mossburn, ...
... had late breakfast in Te Anau, ...
... before driving up the Eglington valley.
Via Mirror Lakes ...
... to Lake Gunn (the one left below).
Followed the road to Homer tunnel. As some of you may know, this is a single-lane tunnel only, so you have to wait before you may pass. Guides say this can take up to 30 minutes in high season.
Even with a car it is quite a steep way down from there to the valley. But with a plane this is even more challenging.
The routined pilot can do it, before turning into final over the famous sound.
We stayed in Milford Sound Lodge, a place that was finally added to the scenery with the area pack. An area we will explore on the follwoting days in more detail.
