Stillwater Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 ... more precise: The Indian subcontinent. Out of Mumbai (Terminal 1, Gate A7)... Not easy to work here... ... as you can see from the temperature indications (before the APU was turned on). So let us taxi across Chattrapathi Shivaji International Airport towards Rwy 27... ... and takeoff over the Ocean shore ("East coast" you could say). Not much to see during the flight, haze whereever you look. At least a bit more to spot during descend... ... with hills looking much like the Glasshouse mountains coming up. Approach is just over the city of Vizakhapatnam, with the Ocean again below us - now the west coast. And here FSX comes to its ends, Visakhapatnam Airport is not too detailed in the sim... Early enough to do some sightseeing later on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VH-KDK Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 WOnderful set Gerold and some great RL shots to compensate for the lack of detail in FSX.(an area screaming out for OLC.) Better whisper as I don't want to appear ungrateful, just have to be patient Must be an interesting place to visit Gerold. How did your insides stand up to the trip? Can be a bit nasty. When my brother went there he got monstered by a virus or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When my brother went there he got monstered by a virus or something. Indeed Asia does scream for our favoured treatment. And, indeed, you are right, good work needs its time. As per my inside: The first days were totally ok. Had to "manage" myself for the 2nd half of my trip, but I was able to finish all my tasks. They say, 80 % of India travellers get that trouble. To my and my colleagues experience the figure is higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bernd1151 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Thanks for these great screenies, Gerold. It brings back many happy memories, when I flew on "ModiLuft" between Delhi and Mumbai. You entered the plane, sat down in first class and thought: wait a minute, this is all in German here. No champagne unfortunately. At least the Earl Grey was superb. Must have been First Flush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olderndirt Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Those 'at the gate' shots are impressive - a lot of lens in that camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orbxtreme Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Beautiful shots and combination of real/virtual. It seems you're always flying, and in original parts of the world too.

For sure no champagne, and not even a tea which could be called superb. The good ol days are gone... most airlines do not even offer anything else than cattle class for their self-loading freight. 16 hours ago, olderndirt said: Those 'at the gate' shots are impressive - a lot of lens in that camera. Thanks Dave, it is a Sony. RX-100 Mk III, it comes with a Zeiss lens. 15 hours ago, Orbxtreme said: Beautiful shots and combination of real/virtual.

But when I do, I try to make a good photo documentation. And I still have some more left to be posted.
