Jack Sawyer Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Made a nice flight from Palm Springs to San Diego. Tried to use the coordinates like Martyn does but failed miserably. Lots of images, all sliders maxed out. This was before my ill-fated CTD to Avalon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VH-KDK Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 Top class series of images Jack. I enjoyed your flight especially over the built up areas in the latter part of the trip.

The lose of trust is one of the sad by-effects of OOMs. But with "all-sliders-maxed" you still have something to do to regain it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes a lot of patience to do what you do, I don't know how you do it. When I make longer trips over unfamiliar territory I'm going to try again with Google Earth. 29 minutes ago, Mark Abdey said: I like the 'New Age' paint Jack... and the caps Thanks Mark, another one that Julio posted, it's a set of maybe six?

All sliders maxed is for testing OF2 to see how many cool details I can see. Someday hopefully soon I'll have a new PC and won't have these concerns.

Dang, if I had the way I'd buy it for you, hope you get it soon because Orbx is 100% better in 64 bit because you can basically max out the sliders and when I do that I get more detail.

Tailspin45 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Great shots (and a hellofva paint job!). The amazing thing about ORBX scenery is that, after 20 years of doing flightseeing rides over the area in RL, I could tell exactly where you were in almost every shot. You will be getting a letter from the FAA, however, after flying over MCAS Miramar without a clearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad you liked them and this is what I love about Orbx stuff, sadly my house isn't represented yet but I can hope. I'd actually pay them several hundred to do 25GA in great detail as I live right basically on it, .5 miles from it. I walk there every day.

Tailspin45 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Next time you're out and about, takeoff on 24 at KCRQ. About halfway to the coast, look south and you'll see orange tile roofs.

Tailspin45 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Wait! 25GA is Miller's Farm! I landed there years ago on the way to an airshow.

By some odd chance do you know Matt Taylor or his father? They had a farm strip near there if I remember correctly. I don't know Mat Taylor, just Mrs. Miller who's a charming southern lady. Her husband Clifford passed away about six years ago, he was a pilot with the Canadian Air Force BEFORE WWII, so when Pearl Harbor hit he asked if he could transfer to the U.S. Army Air Corps and flew DC-3's over hundreds of miles of open ocean in the Pacific theater, then he got on with a major carrier and built a HUGE mansion, barely shown in these photos. Wonderful lady Mrs. Miller. And if you landed there you must have had to call ahead because it's private. She still keeps it intact and there's a Piper Cub nestled in that barn/hangar. Here's some pix I took this summer, hope Orbx doesn't mind. Like I said, I'd pay Orbx to do this area, I could provide all the photos they'd ever need. It would include my house too. I can dream though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tailspin45 Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 Hmmmm, no I don't remember needing prior permission, so it must have been another field. I'll dig out my logbook and check.
