Around my old and new home


Recommended Posts

P3Dv4- Finally installed ASCA and I love it! - I can't believe how accurate everything is in Orbx Global and NA L/C!  HDR .80 - 2.00 - .80

 

So as I was flying just now we had another real thunderstorm and sure enough so it was in the sim.

 

Don't know about installing ENVTEX yet because ASCA on Dynamic Mode is so sweet looking to me.

 

Sorry so many, I wanted to give a tour.

 

This one is where I'm departing KFFC, Falcon Field, I've flown out of there many times with a friend who ones a Cherokee.  They have excellent airshows too.  I used to live within walking distance of this airport.

Heading to KPDK, formerly known as Charlie Brown Airport.

It looks just like this in real life.

I LOVE the sky colors and the clouds.

This is Lake Peachtree, I used to drive my kids in my golf cart I restored here and we'd feed the ducks.

The Georgia Dome and the Aquarium, love these places.  I saw the former Barnum & Bailey circus there and the aquarium is the largest in the world.

The city looks just like this

That round building on the right is Westin Peachtree, they filmed a movie there decades ago when it was still being built.  Burt Reynolds in Sharky's Machine.

The tallest building in Atlanta, the Bank Of America Plaza.  It's lit up in gold lights and at night it's beautiful

Thanks, ASCA performs better in V4 for me.

Thanks Cary, it is Cary right?  I might be temped to use ENVTEX as I didn't know it was in beta.  I thought it was a completed program.

Thanks Sammy.  Man, you're embarrassing me.  I think eventually most people who post will be upgraded to VIP.  Things still feel the same to me. ^_^

Very nice shots Jack and good luck with finding the perfect combination for your sim.

Thanks Ruud, you know how it is.  Sometimes we spend more time tinkering with it than flying! :lol:

Nice looking series of photos Jack. I like your labeling them. Often I see a great shot and left wondering where it was. 

The downtown shots are very good. Is this just the default Orbx open LC NA and Global?

Hi Mike, thanks!  I agree, I need to do it more often.  Some guys do a wonderful job describing locations, it's always fascinating.

 

Yes, it's all Orbx, Global, NA L/C and Trees.
