VH-KDK Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 They tell me that a man in a red dress is looking for me down under. No, not down under on me but in Australia. I thought it best to head north for safety but I will keep my whereabouts quiet as I know he will never find me where I am headed. OLC EU, GEN, Trees, Vector, P3DV4, Project Airbus A320, REX TD EE, PTA, Adams Preset REX version. 1. Setting everything up at LFST Entzheim, Strasbourg. 2. Take off and passing Duppigheim and the A35. 3. A whole conglomeration of small towns including Dinscheim-sur-Bruch, Mutzig Molsheim and Dorlisheim 4. Mont Donon et La Petit Donon sur La Vosges Mountains. 5. Turning north and leaving the 836m high Chaume de Requival in the distance. 6. I can remember this feature from a flight along the Rhine a couple of years ago. Bingen am Rhein is on the southern edge of the Rheingau Range 7. Looking across to Wiesbaden and Mainz. 8. Aabach Stausee close to Bad Wunnenberg is prominent here. 9. Another, I know where I am moments, as we pass Minden and EDVY. 10. The chimney at Petershagen stands out as we turn for our destination. 11. Touching down at EDDV and a feeling of safety gives me great relief. 12. Time to depart and find a place to hide in Hannover. Gerold will never find me here! Hope you enjoyed the flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Sawyer Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Nicely done Martyn! How in the world do you do it? I mean, how do you know where you are all the time? Also, what are your settings? PTA, REX, all that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted September 27, 2017 Author Share Posted September 27, 2017 Thanks Jack, it is all done by mirrors. You might have noticed in my commentary that I actually came across a couple of places I recognised from previous flights. My settings are nothing special. PTA with Adam's 2.54 (I think), REX TD but as you may remember no AS4. I am very happy with the way it looks and I must admit I have not done too much fiddling around as I am in it for the flying experience more that being the next FS Van Gough. I would not cut my ears off though as then I wouldn't be able to see. No, my hat would fall down over my eyes. 555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are many places in the once great country where if you dropped your wallet you would kick it to the end of the street and find a safe place to bend over and pick it up. The man in the red dress may be a mythical creature, we are not to sure yet. Keep tuned in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to give you a huge compliment for the local informations, so helpful & instructive. BTW: I have (in RL only)... 1. Been on the photo #9, because my office is there 2.

Thanks Gerold, it just shows how accurate a lot of the scenery is. The chimney at Petershagen really stood out. There was a segment on the TV a while ago about this big factory at Minden, I think it was Chemische Werke Minden. I see so many places on the TV now and think, I have been there in the FS world!
