Jack Sawyer Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Yeah, I know, I know, but I like the way it looks so I bought it. Has a couple of insects they'll probably work out but it's a fine plane. So I decided to test her out over Vienna. First, Orbx, Global, Europe L/C, not sure if I had Vector turned on or not, Trees. AS16 off then on. Adam's 21_11 preset. FPS and VAS were outstanding, no complaints. I have a lot of twins, the RealAir Duke, DO-228, Twin Otter, MV B55, Shrike, Antonov, so why did I buy this? I like the way it looks. And, I don't know if Carenado ever did this before but you can (and I did) lose an engine with over-torque, and I dropped the gear at too high a speed and I had a yellow unlock light. No hangar like A2A but still quite surprised, oh, and no more "usual suspects" in the cockpit, two new pilots, one a "seasond citizen" like me. Enough prattling, here's my screens of a beautiful LOWW area in all it's Orbx beauty. I also bought an Orb Weaver, should have bought this a hundred years ago. You can an almost unlimited number of commands. Froogle turned me on to it in one of his videos. This is default Orbx LOWW. Pretty darned amazing if you ask me. I had FlyTampa's LOWW but uninstalled it. Look at these beautiful fields! I love it! Springtime in Vienna Awesome colors in this field. I USED to know what the name of what they grew in those fields but I forget, but they look great don't they? I love this! No idea what these buildings are but they look cool to me. This is beautiful.

Dunno Adam, might be, could it be mustard too? It sure is beautiful though. Ain't Orbx cool? After looking at the Wiki, it must be. Cool! Thanks Adam.

bernd1151 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 A rw Cheyenne pilot once told me that if you can master the Digital Aviation Cheyenne, you can fly the real thing. I have her since the good old FS9 days and I like this plane a lot. So now I am eager to know, whether this Carenado version can live up to it. Great screenies btw, Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great screenies btw, Jack Thanks Bernd, she's a handful and can pitch up or down very easily. I like it, I liked the way they designed the tip tanks too, on top instead of the ends of the wings.

Bermuda425 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Grandiose series of pictures! Did Filou borough his computer to you, because I must say your shots get better and better!

I had to laugh, mine may be ok but FILOU's are extraordinary. And I'm glad you got a chuckle about the buildings. They're cool looking and I wish I could go there someday and have a look around. 1 hour ago, gumbypickett said: That's a very nice set Jack, and a very smart looking aircraft. cheers Gumby Thanks Gumby, just bought it and it's a great diversion. 1 hour ago, BradB said: Wow - What an amazing set of shots Jack , you and your family stay safe tomorrow down there in GA . Cheers John Thanks John! Yeah, the day before yesterday we had tornadoes, extremely severe thunderstorms and we lost power for hours. I hiked today and there were a lot of trees down. I've lived through three tornadoes down here, one tore my roof off the house! We're in the southern tornado alley and this time of year they can get vicious. My weather radio went off every five minutes, as well as the sirens outdoors, and my iPhone wouldn't stop alerting me. It was a nail biter till the storm passed. And tomorrow we repeat all the fine and pleasant misery. 1 hour ago, Orbxtreme said: Bright colorful shots Jack! Thanks Orbxtreme! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had Global and Europe OLC going as well as trees, not sure about Vector. Yeah, I couldn't help myself. Now to counterbalance the plane I need to buy one or two more Orbx's! It's like a good addiction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VH-KDK Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Outstanding set of views from your flight Jack. Beautiful new plane too, looks wonderful. Some amazing sights on your journey and those fields as Adam said would be rape or as we call it here in Oz, Canola. We eat the leaves when we can get it, very tasty too. We could so with some more rain in Vic although parts Qld and NSW are under water at present. I hope you all get through these tornadoes, must be dreadful sitting there waiting.

Thanks Martyn, it is dreadful. Canola oil? I cook with that, if I'm not learning geography here I'm learning what the fields are sown in, I love it! I never ate canola leaves, are they tasty? You gotta admit, those fields are nice to look at. Where I'm at all I see is hay for the horses. It's the most boring place in the universe. I'll try to be safe tomorrow as they're calling for F3 tornados, baseball sized hail, and 150 mile per hour winds! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olderndirt Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Rape seed's what they call it in Scotland - thought it was fields of broom (gorse) 'til I was informed. That 'Cheyenne' certainly has the appearance of a winner - like the Miss America contest 'til they get to the questions and answers segment.

paulb Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Great series Jack! Yep, it looks like rape seed, we have it over here in the UK.

It flys well and has some failures if it's not handled properly. I like that. 5 hours ago, paulb said: Great series Jack! Yep, it looks like rape seed, we have it over here in the UK.

I have never seen it where I lived, I wonder how it affects people's allergies. The plane can be a handful but that's what makes it a challenge. 5 hours ago, Iain Emms said: Splendid set of shots. cheers Iain Thanks Iain! 4 hours ago, KVSandleben said: It's indeed rapeseed.
