This is a nice little plane!

First flight in my new 195.  So I continued my Orbx tour.  This time from 77S to S45.  Orbx everything, summer, AS16 on, PTA 20_08 from Adam.  I shut off UT2 completely and plan on uninstalling it.  A VAS hog.  I was astonished when I finished this flight.  I had 1164 MB left! :)

It was a very relaxing and scenic flight.

Beautiful photo's, great light which makes it easy to view.  What I like with the wings on top is you get a far better view of what's under you.

 

Again, more great shots from Jack.

BTW Jack, isn't that 195 totally awesome?!

 

So glad you got one too and are enjoying it also.

 

And thanks for reminding me that Siletz Bay existed - I own it but haven't been there in ages, a downside to the wonderful and growing array of Orbx offerings.

 

So many destinations, so little time, and I only fly in North America.

Those are some FANTASTIC shots! Thanks for sharing.  My favorites are #s 7 and 8 - cloud shadows look awesome over the farmland.

Thank you Scott!  Im really glad you liked them.  It's a very beautiful area, I agree, I love the farmland. It looks so peaceful.

Thank you for the kind words Jim!  I agree.  And this plane has a sunroof too!

Magnificent set of shots Jack! :)  You should be due for an overhaul on that 195 soon. :D

Thanks Adam!  Due for an overhaul?  I just bought her.  She has like two hours on her.  :)

Yes, I totally agree Steve.  I have taken quite a shine to this plane.  Don't usually like tail draggers but your shots were the impetus for me to buy it.  And know what?  I LOVE it!  It flys nicely and trims out nice too.  And it isn't a VAS hog like other planes.  Yeah, Siletz is a beautiful place in Orbx land.  And know what?  Every single time I fly there it's socked in. I checked, in real life it's almost always foggy.  Must be the warm ocean.

Not so small! Saw one a few months ago for the first time in real, but it had red instead of blue color. Couldn't take my eyes of it being pulled out of the hangar.

I have never seen a real one Erik so I'm jealous!  Yeah, it does look kind of long but they did really well back then in the 30's & 40's.  Like I said, metal, cantilevered wing, and no strut.  All with a big radial engine and the sound on this plane when she idles, man it's awesome!

Another beautiful set,  Jack  !     I passed up on this beauty during the last sale,  but the 195 is now definitely on my radar.   

Thank you MZ!  I appreciate it.  You'll love flying the friendly Orbx skies in this gem.  I like it a lot.

Fantastic series here Jack.

Good to see you enjoying your fine old Cessna.

Beautiful scenery and I re installed my 195 the other day, it is a wonderful plane to fly.

Thanks Martyn!  It sure is beautiful scenery and a sweet plane to fly it over with.
