Venezuela, Canaima to "Tepui" table mountains

Volker (aka Vora) has suggested that the Tepui table mountains would be a fantastic area to explore. I have never been there, so here we go (click on them, if you want to see them larger):

 

I depart from Canaima SVCN and head south-east. It’s not a very long trip, and the area to explore looks on Google Earth like this:

I will try to find a freeware airport for this location

First I will head to the southern most point of the table mountains, before I turn north and dive into the area

Somewhere here must be the famous “Angel Falls”

Here we have Angel Falls on the left side and this is what Wikipedia has to say about it: Angel Falls (SpanishSalto Ángel) is the world's highest uninterrupted waterfall, with a height of 979 meters (3,212 ft) and a plunge of 807 meters (2,648 ft). The waterfall drops over the edge of the Auyán-tepui mountain in the Canaima National Park (UNESCO World Heritage site in the Gran Sabana region of Bolívar State. The height figure 979 metres (3,212 ft) mostly consists of the main plunge but also includes about 400 metres (0.25 mi) of sloped cascade and rapids below the drop and a 30-metre (98 ft) high plunge downstream of the talus rapids

Thank you very much for the pics! ORBX did some impressive work here.

 

What mesh are you using?

Thank you all very much for your kind comments, it's very much appreciated.

 

Juan, I use the FS Global Ultimate mesh

Have flown this quite a few times albeit in "Orbx assisted" FSX with Pilots mesh. Have always used a freeware product by David Maldonado to animate the Angel Falls which imho is most necessary. Wonder if this works in P3Dv4 with the new Orbx landclass?
