Jack Sawyer Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 P3Dv4 - All Orbx stuff - New REX settings as well as PTA. Thanks to Adambar. I found the coordinates of ten castles but only found six. First four are the Reichsburg castle These three are the Lichtenstein castle Next two are the Schwerin castle and church Three of the Hohenzollern castle The last set is of the Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau castles, I didn't know they were so close to each other. Really nice job you guys at Orbx, really enjoying Germany South! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First four are the Reichsburg castle That's probably because you got lost somewhere in the Mosel area. The first ones show Burg Eltz. Reichsburg is further southwest along the river.

I'll have fun trying to find them then, you did a wonderful job here and I'm very pleased with your work. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Great set Jack and the chopper is definitely the best way to look at the castles. Plenty of work gone into them with so much detail seen close up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't you go to any castles when you were in Europe? So many interesting historical buildings over there, guess it was a long time ago and you had other things to do!

I went to the one in Edinburgh, the one in London, and some smallish ones here and there but nothing like that beautiful Neuschwanstein, now that's lovely.

flyingleaf Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Absolutely great shots Jack. Especially the close ups. Well done orbx indeed. Hey Jack I guess for close ups that upside down eggbeater does come in handy. k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Lars Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Thank you very much for these screenshots, which remembered me when I was a kid and went to Neuschwanstein with my granddad and grandma. Very impressive, though (or because) it is a 19th century fantasy build of Ludwig II., the king of Bavaria... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see it in person, all I've seen is photos of it on the Internet and it looks amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If and when you do go, I highly recommend going to Burg Eltz. Unlike so many of the other castles in Germany, which were renovated in the 19th century in ahistorical fashion to suit the romanticism of the time, Burg Eltz was in unbroken family ownership for centuries and was spared destruction in war. So it is one of the few that still looks the way it did originally. Misha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stillwater Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Great post, Jack, showing these pieces of orbx work so nicely and detailed! Going to Neuschwanstein is a risk, this place is always overcrowded with non-simming tourists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Gerold and , I can see that, man, there must be a lot of us virtual tourists visiting that lovely castle. Orbx did a really nice job on it. I saw the one in Disney World twice now and it's beautiful but to see the real one, a dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
