VH-KDK Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Now I have installed P3DV3.4 along with a few bits and bobs, so it is time to give it a try from Darrington to Orcas Island. 1. One of the few planes I could find that would install into v3.4 is the Dove. 2. Good enough for the short flight to KORS. 3. Not exactly the most spritely of planes bit still enough runway left to save a trip to the dry cleaners. 4. Over the Arlington-Darrington Road. 5. Looking at the scenery it is oh so nice and passing Oso. 6. Overhead Lake McMurray and heading for the coastal plains. 7. The town of Mount Vernon and Hwy5. 8. KBVS Skagit, the PNW version and a pleasant change of weather. 9. Again yet to install the ORBX airport, this time at Anacortes. 10. Flying down East Sound with a couple of Orcas showing themselves. 11. A few onlookers at Mt Baker Road. 12. Some of the fixtures and fittings at KORS. 13. Some of the passengers waiting to be picked up for the charter flight. 14. A highly enjoyable flight to a place I have not been to for ages. Hope you enjoyed looking.

Scott Harmes Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Love these shots! I saw a program last night which showed Orcas Island, as it featured an astronaut famous for taking the first picture of the Earth from a distance while orbiting the Moon; William (Bill) Anders. It showed him taking off from KORS in what looked like a Cessna Bird Dog with a camo paint job. The program was a doco called "Human Universe" with Brian Cox. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Anders http://www.seattletimes.com/pacific-nw-magazine/with-a-view-from-beyond-the-moon-an-astronaut-talks-religion-politics-and-possibilities/ http://iview.abc.net.au/programs/human-universe-with-brian-cox/ZW0040A004S00 (18 mins 17 seconds in) It seemed like Bill Anders lived on the Island. Lucky guy! Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucky guy! Cheers, Thanks Scott, I will take a look later and I do find Brian Cox so interesting. Lots of places in the ORBX world that look so inviting to stay. 8 hours ago, Stillwater said: Classical sceneries and a classical plane. Always nice to remember! I just love the planes from this era so much Gerold. I guess it is because they were the every day planes I saw when young but the Dove was a common sight. 7 hours ago, paulb said: Great shots of your flight!

Steve Colbert Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Fantastic shots, Martyn, of my favorite Orbx airport (KORS)! I loved KORS in default FSX, and a chance sighting of a photo of the Orbx version about a year ago is what got me back into this great hobby after a long hiatus. Congrats on 3.4!
