Stillwater Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 The Northwest of Tassie I mean, as this is the next part of my current Wilderness State tour, following yesterday evening´s arrival: Surely I waited for the sheep to clear runway 34 of Launy... ... and D-EXDA took off really quick, to show us YMLT in the construction status of the early 2000s. RL picture taken in 2004. Did I ever mention I would be in for a payware update of YMLT? Yes, I think I did... I have added @teecees OZx scenery additions, for example Breadalbanes industry area, ... ... some important houses in Carrick, ... ... and the extraction plant in Westbury. I love this level of detail. [RL picture of 2015] Closing in to Mole Creek, ... ... be careful not to come too close down there. Mt. Roland shows his beauty. A slight southern deviation to Cethana Dam, ... ... Dove Lake and Cradle Mountain. I honestly do miss some details around here, virtually we are even lacking the trees & huts, and the mountain could also be more sharp. Back northwest again, to Milkshake Hills airstrip (how come the name?)... ... and getting to rest at Smithton. The slow plane combined with headwind makes this trip just over an hour. I mean, if you are not taking photos... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Hall Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Wow, such amazing shots and local knowledge, I still remember driving out to Smithon (Miffton) to take the photos, Satellite imagery was pretty bad back then and was just learning G-Max. So great to see these old Ozx strips getting enjoyed. thanks Gerold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Sawyer Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I'm in awe Gerold. You're knowledge is encyclopedic! I love these shots and tours. There's just so much to see. Whoever said the world got smaller didn't have a clue, it's still huge enough that a person may never explore all of it even in a sim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that we know the current techniques & flows, what would be possible for these bush strips today? Just imagine these birds singing... If you need support to convince John in order to drive & take pictures for your upcoming projects, just tell us. The Hawaii scenery package could be a good start for this. 3 hours ago, Jack Sawyer said: I'm in awe Gerold. You're knowledge is encyclopedic! I love these shots and tours.

Yes it is a pleasure to fly in our Orbx world. And it is getting so big - when will I find time to return to America? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawaii is a huge project to do it properly and would need possible the co-operation of several developers and that's not easy to co-ordinate. cheers Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VH-KDK Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 More familiar places Gerold. Your RL photo of Cradle Mountain looks like the same as when I was there. The weather can change in just minutes, beautiful and sunny then the clouds descend. Mount Roland comes up well too, such a prominent landmark of the area. Great set and now I am even more confused as where to fly next! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we entered the Dove Lake walk, there was a sign mentioning that the area has about 280 days of rain per year. We felt like home. 4 hours ago, gumbypickett said: Gerold, one word.
