Jack Sawyer Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Tonight I decided to do something different. I flew from CAX6, Ganges to CAC8, Nanaimo. Had been wanting to do this. So I got in the Twin Otter, and made the 26 mile flight. It was very scenic. Orbx Global, Trees, PNW, CRM, AS16 on - and Adam's new PTA preset 21_11 which is very nice indeed. Thanks Adam! I took too many shots, sorry. I just really loved the detail at Nanaimo. I only saw one minor problem, at Nanaimo I had several boats that were all black. Anyone know what might have caused this? They were constant black, not that black you sometimes see before an object is drawn, they stayed black. This scenery is some of Orbx's finest, it's gorgeous! Man, I love the detail of this tanker. Is that a hose or a rope? It looks cool. And these shots coming up are amazing. What a beautiful area. makes me want to fly out for a visit in real life. Here's the boats I was talking about. Ready for a new load of passengers. Hey! You don't want that Beaver, fly on my Otter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikewies Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 These shots are simply spectacular! Love the takeoffs and landings. The shots around Nanaimo were the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Outstanding series of shots Jack, a very scenic flight. Be careful of the North Pacific Anaconda Jack. They lurk around boats disguised as ropes and hoses waiting for the unwary Twotter to alight on the water The boats at the jetty have not paid their mooring fees for a long time so they have been black banned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingleaf Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 Great shots as always Jack. VH-KDK said it's an Anaconda but it really is our OKOPOGO from Kelowna Lake on a Holiday. But he's right beware of okopogo. Lol. As for the area of Nanaimo and all of Vancouver Island you're right it is a truly beautiful area "especially" the west coast. Cheers, Karl.

North Pacific Anaconda! No one else mentioned the black boats. Is this normal, anyone else have them? 10 hours ago, flyingleaf said: Great shots as always Jack.
