mp1852 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Hi all, it's been a while. I hope I'll find some time to show you more of the beautiful area where I live, so here a short flight from Donaueschingen to Stuttgart for the beginning Taking off at Donaueschingen The town of Villingen, where I live. Over Villingen. In real live we have a beautiful medieval town center, just inside the "street-circle". In the back the town of Schwenningen. In 1972 the two towns where "united" to Villingen-Schwenningen. But as Villingen is on the "Baden"-side of Baden-Württemberg and Schwenningen on the "Württemberg (Swabian)"-side, there are still (nowadays mostly winkingly) historical caused problems between the two towns. Under the left wing the village Weilersbach where I grew up. I was very surprised, that the elevator test tower Rottweil (246m high) is already in the sim. And even more surprised, as it is already finished in the sim , as in RL it's almost complete Passing the castle Hohenzollern Cars with a star are manufactured around Stuttgart Here the worlds first ferroconcrete television tower. And landing in Stuttgart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Thanks Marcus for taking us on a five star tour of your locale. Always great to see where people reside. Top class set of images. I was captivated when GEN came out and now the same has happened with GES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Sawyer Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 What a wonderful tour Marcus! It must be nice to live there and see your home and all those cool POI's. But tell me about that elevator test tower. Am I right in thinking they use it to test elevators? Amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Jack, you're right. They are testing elevators. It's a quite impressive tower when you're standing right in front of it.

And I've seen those company trucks driving around even here, ThyssenKrupp. What an amazing feat of engineering, I want to go there and fly around it in the sim. do you know the coordinates?
