Stillwater Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Here we go around in the agglomeration, as Martyn suggested. I started at Düsseldorf and had a look at the Henkel / BASF factories in Holthausen first. There is also a blue-yellow furniture nearby in RL, the factories and rail system look acceptable. Going north, past the rowing centrum in Duisburg... ... and looking back, over cities like Mülheim, Duisburg and Moers, all in one shot. I was too high over the Krupp works in Duisburg to see the details that Jack and Martyn spotted. That is my price of the immersion: If I fly lower, the ground starts to get blurry... And this is how the boss of the Krupp Works used to live. A little less urban, though in the heart of the area. The famous Zeche Zollverein just below... ... and a view over Germany´s 20 million people city. The pyramid in Bottrop... ... and the Arena auf Schalke, as you can see they move the pitch out of the stadium between matches to have better growing grass for the valuable football players. Lots of energy conversion being done in the Ruhr area... ... and lots of green fields when you approach to Dortmund international. The impression of GEN is always fantastic, even though I always find some POIs missing (e. g. the Westfalenstadion in Dortmund, which is nearly cruel as their nemesis Schalke is depicted).

Or, soon, back to the midwest America (just the pollution, but no well-paid jobs, I propose). In fact all the mountain work is closed now, and the classical power plants are all working at low profitability, since they have to build funds for the environmental effects. Great to get this visible by Orbx. [Not so great I still do not trust FTXCv3, as no updated release is coming.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
