Jack Sawyer Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Everything Orbx imaginable, starter at Ramstein for @paulb then flew at only 5000 feet to Frankfurt. I know I could have chosen a smaller plane and didn't do anything dumb, except fly low but I wanted to see the countryside. All are at max settings with most at 4096 Enjoy your 747 flight!

paulb Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Well done Jack and thank you for showing Ramstein AB . In your second shot one can see that Orbx have decorated the control tower. I think this is the major USAF base in Germany now. I believe that they also use Spangdahlem AB nearby. Frankfurt also looks pretty decent in your shots. I keep getting tempted by some of the payware major German airports available, but my concern is always one of compatibility. A great flight my friend!

A great flight my friend! Thanks Paul and you're welcome. I've never been there, just to Jever. That's way way up in NW Germany. I thought they did a great job on Frankfurt too. 5 hours ago, Taph said: Nice shots Jack, but could not see the fighter escort taking you off the base Thanks Taph, didn't need one, they knew Fred was on board. 42 minutes ago, bernd1151 said: Excellent screenshots, Jack.

andy1252 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Wonderful stuff, Jack. I particularly like #9 & #11, those settings are creating some fine looking flights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turboarrow4 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Beautiful sightseeing tour, Jack. I remeber as I was on a flight from EDFE to Saarbruecken EDDR, we flew over Ramstein at 7.500 ft, as a C130 passed us below on the same heading as they were on final at Ramstein. Moments like this are unforgettable. It felt like we could land our Katana DA20 on the back of this widebody.... Thank you for bringing up this memory ;-) cheers Thorsten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramstein AB is indeed the main USAF base in Germany Paul, and it has been for several years. I've been there a few times in my day, and it is a pretty impressive airbase. It is a major hub for military aircraft too, especially for military flights between Africa, the Middle East and the USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for bringing up this memory ;-) cheers Thorsten Thanks Thorsten, now that would have been amazing. I've flown on many a C-130 and 141. Sitting sideways in that red seatbelt webbing from the UK to Turkey is not a lot of fun. And when we got to Turkey, the crew, all female, not putting them down at all as they were very professional but they decided to allow them to do a bunch of touch and goes so it took a while to land. 3 hours ago, Sniper31 said: Ramstein AB is indeed the main USAF base in Germany Paul, and it has been for several years.

I'm using the PTA Absolute Natural preset, REX TD HD sky color set 05, and HDR is from top to bottom, Brightness, 1.08, Bloom, 1.12, Saturation, 0.50. Then in PTA I changed two settings, I'm not at the PC now but I can PM them if you'd like later, please advise. 2 hours ago, dolf8857 said: That's a real fantastic set Jack, wow! Thank you Dolf!

magicgriff Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 WOW! That PTA preset is spot on with the lighting. I had to do a double take on some of these to make sure you didn't sprinkle in some actual photographs. Great set and that Queen sure is fun to fly.
