Mallard Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 I thought it was always sunny in Australia... Some pics from a flight departing Essendon Passing Moorabbin - which will be the destination of this flight - but heading on SSE Our waypoint today: Phillip Island Right - back to Moorabbin Moorabbin Taxiing with the front swiched off. The weather was courtesy of ASN real weather. Certainly did deliver quite a change between being below and above the cloud cover... Cropped DX10s Cheers Mallard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you're in Melbourne, just wait ten minutes, and it will be again. We are famous for having four seasons in one day, and I can confirm it's the case. Just last week on a few days I took off my jumper and put it on around 6 times in a day. The sun comes out and it's too hot, then the clouds cover the sun and it's too cold. Could be worse I guess; at least most of our weather isn't catastrophic. I could almost see two places I have lived and worked. I used to live very close to Tullamarine (Melbourne) Airport, and now I work within 1km of Moorabbin Airport. In fact I was working in the airport the other day, in a helicopter service hangar. Oh; and I almost forgot. Great screenies!! Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Sawyer Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 LOL! I was JUST there in my P3D sim and the weather was so bad with AS16 I had to shut it off. I wanted to see Melbourne as I have never flown there. Very nice shots! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Excellent set Mallard of some very familiar places and weather. Scott said it all in his post, but it is still a great place to live. I like the shot over Phillip Island, used to spend every other week end in the winter months fishing there at Woolami Beach and the other week ends were going to the footy to see my beloved Fitzroy get their weekly shellacking. When I was in the Moorabbin area working I would spend lunch times at the airport watching the planes. No high security fences in those days or suspicious looks either. How times have changed.

Lemme tell you guys who live in NZ and Oz something right now. I am GREEN with envy. What beautiful areas you fellows live in! If Orbx has done justice to these areas, and I believe they have, then where ya'll live is just astonishingly beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a great place to live Jack, I am glad I made it here 35 years ago. Very lucky that ORBX and OZx have done it justice in the FS world too.

Stillwater Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Great shots, Mallard, and I join the crowd of envyness. I never forget the Penguin parade I was watching on a lucky evening on Philip Island, many years ago now. Got to go there again, as Orbx forgot to install the PenguinFlow .

Mallard Posted November 7, 2016 Author Share Posted November 7, 2016 Thanks a lot for the comments, mates! As most of you will have gathered by now, Oz is my preferred stomping ground. And with OZx enhancements like Phillip Island it's even more my destination of choice On 5.11.2016 at 4:17 PM, RJ said: Imagine what would be like you and P3D.
