bernd1151 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I take off from a small airfield north of Munich, called Oberschleissheim and in order to explore the city low and slow, I chose a nice old Italian bi-plane, the Ansaldo, which was used in WWI mostly for reconnaissance. In order to blend in with the Bavarian surrounding, I gave it a Bavarian paint scheme In the distance you can see already Munich’s skyline and even further out the Alps Below you see the Olympic stadium and the TV tower and behind it the BMW headquarters. Hmmh...maybe my plane blends in too well Let’s have a closer look at BMW Much more important is of course this huge open field, called the “Theresienwiese”. It is the home of the Octoberfest. To its right is the St. Paul church and even further to the right you can see Munich’s train station Another highlight of Munich is the “Deutsche Museum” or German museum, located right next to the Isar river. It was founded in 1903 and is today the world’s largest museum of science and technology I do a low fly-by of the “Munich Cathedral”, which everybody in Munich calls the “Frauenkirche” or Lady Church The building with the blue roof is the town hall But now I am off to some quiet spot along the Isar river to enjoy a Weissbier together with some Weisswurst and Brezel Anyone wants to join me?

Jack Sawyer Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 I'd love to join you Bernd! Amazing, this post is a keeper to give me guidance around Munich. It sure helps when you live there. And I'd love to have flown that plane in real life back then. It does blend in really well too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you download it from FlightSim, make sure you also get the fix. It works for FSX and in my P3D 3.4. I haven't installed v4 yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stillwater Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 I'll join you, Bernd! Great livery, magnificent light and nice low flight, topped by a good narration. Did you try to turn back time one week for the Theresienwiese? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I didn't want to turn back time. I have been there at least ten times, now I prefer the "Isar Auen" with friends like you at a somewhat more quiet pace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
