Isn't such a beacon at most airports?

I think I will not follow the carrot, because PMDG has hugely disappointed me once. Many years ago though, but sometimes I'm like an elephant.

Yes, I rember those smoking times on planes. One funny thing was that many smokers in economy class bought non smoking seats and only briefly entered the smoking area, usually in the back of the planes, when they wanted to have a smoke. They just couldn't stand the smelly air during an entire flight.

I think, I wouldn't like to fly nonstop for such a long distance/time (more than 20 hours). When flying to Australia I am always looking forward to the stops in Southeast Asia, like Singapore, Bangkok or Kuala Lumpur. Even the 15 hours from Dubai to Australia seem to be endless. Thus a stop is always very convenient. It interrupts the boredom and an hours walk through an exotic airport is interesting and good for your health (thrombosis!). And you'll get one more take off and landing, the best parts of a flight. PS: And I am glad I am not a smoker.

Looking great, both, scenery and shots.

At Christmas 2019 my wife bought 2 tickets for an Eric Clapton show in Munich in June 2020, which was postponed to June 2021 due to Corona and eventually to 02 June 2022. Fortunately the old tickets are still valid and we are very much looking forward to this concert.

That's a difficult one I can't answer, because my musical taste changes on a regular basis, even genres come and go.

One thing I like about MSFS: collisions with airport vehicles and ai planes will not cause crashes but collisions with airport buildings will.

In French and in German the the equivalents of the word castle (Château, Schloss) are very often used also for mansions and palaces. So many of those 6400 buildings would not be considered to be a castle by native English speakers.

Nick, me thinks the Aerosoft and the Orbx products are identical. And in the Aerosoft product description, which you have quoted, it says "6400 castle". Anyway, that number seems to be quite realistic for this area. Edit: BTW, I think the definition of castle differs between the French and the British.

Thanks mate! This relieves me a bit.

And also yes, Tegel does not exist any more as public airport. Only its northern area is now used as a military heli base.

Grest set of shots. But I don't get the title too. 3+9+3 ?? But I guess my IQ is dropping by getting older.

@wain71 Do you know by any chance, if there is also an RJ version in the pipeline?

Plesse read Ed's post above.

Happy Birthday Graeme! And as you wrote in the other thread - "In my household birthdays are allowed to last one week." - I am not too late.

Yes, and by looking at the C130s also military.

Fast forward, one and a half month later - only now I saw all your birthday wishes. That's sooo embarrassing! A big belated thank you to all if you guys. And one more thank you to @Sniper31 for the "young man". And Happy Easter to everyone!

Oh I see. Now I understand.

Welcome to the forums, Brock aka Tommo. I am no scenery designer but I'm sure the folks in the know will answer your request.

I remember times when Orbx released no more than one or two airports and one larger area per year.

There are loads of planes in the shots above, so no empty feeling for me.

Perhaps a way to find out, if there has hever been a BBJ at YMEN, was checking the pics archive at airliners.net. BTW I once heard, that decades ago a large plane (don't know the type) landed at Essendon by error, because the crew had mistaken YMEN for YMML. The problem then was to get the plane out of Essendon again, because the runways were too short. I don't know, how they solved the problem. Can anybody confirm this story?

Where and how are you harassed by advertisment for MSFS?

Yeah, or imagine flying over a waste dump, sewage works or a hydrogen sulfide gas exhaling volcanic area. Yuck!
