Jack Sawyer Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Got tired of "the other guys" not delivering so I bought the Dauphin tonight. It's 1000 times better! Enjoy this little tour with two different times of day. I loved looking at Canberra CityScape. Everything maxed out. Wish I knew what all these buildings were. I HAD to try it. And now for some dawn lighting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cityscape was well worth it. 4 minutes ago, adambar said: Beautiful shots from Canberra Jack, I like your new chopper as well!

Aussie123 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 So you found another Carillon Jack I guess you were making too much noise in that egg beater to hear it A lot of attractions in Canberra are located around Lake Burley Griffin are on National Capitol Authority (NCA) land. This site details many of them. https://www.nca.gov.au/attractions-and-memorials/national-carillon You may be aware that Burley Griffin, an American (and his wife) submitted the design on which Canberra is built in the 1900s. In the next shot, you are flying over the suburb of Russell and the offices of the Department of Defence (now a lot bigger than depicted). A key feature is the Australian American Memorial. Erected by public subscription in 1953 it features a stylised American Eagle. I drive by it frequently. The Australian American memorial is an important symbol of Australian gratitude to American service personnel for their contribution to the defence of Australia during World War II.

Maurizio Giorgi Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Wow Jack, those shots are really outstandings! Canberra is really a beautiful city, apart its POIs (where there also is Orbx Research center eh eh eh), the landscape is fantastic. The autogen missing in shot 4 tells me that probably there is a suppression because the airport and the cityscape share the same autogen grids at their boundaries. Here there is a very good solution to the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Martyn, but as I type this my P3D is stuck at 6% loading and doing nothing for 10 minutes. This is after I removed the files John Dow mentioned and changed the .bgl to .bgl.OFF. So I may have to force close it and figure it out, not good at this stuff, I follow instructions only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
