lifejogger Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Instead of flying around Concrete, Washington I decide I would take a walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper31 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 It is just amazing how much detail is tucked away...I mean, how long ago did Concrete release? I remember when it did, and how awesome it was, and now, wow....still as awesome as ever years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulb Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Well done John! That's first class . A few months ago I actually switched crash detection off on my aircraft and taxied through there just to see some of the detail . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mglan80 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 The next to last one with the road sign is the definition of small detail. I've never been to Washington State, but it sure makes sense they'd have the silhouette of G. Washington on the state routes signs. Andreas and Heiko could have just used a bland white circle, but they went that extra step! Very, very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Sawyer Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Brilliant John! I love to do this and all of these would be perfect for a comic. I think I'll have to do this for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers John John you should hike! I hike 8 miles a day or every other day. I've lost 75 pounds, walked 9800+ miles and it's the number one thing in life. I love the beautiful forest right where I live. I don't even have to drive, I walk there. 700 acres, lots of deer, hawk, and all kinds of other animals from bobcats to coyotes, to squirrels and chipmunks to tiny frogs. Beaver dams, it's wonderful and great exercise, and good for your mind and body with the endorphin release. I walk in all kinds of weather, pouring rain, heat, night, and my favorite, snow.

Steve Colbert Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Amazing shots Lifejogger...I had NO idea that this airport contained so much detail...I'm always so focused on landing!? 3 hours ago, Jack Sawyer said: John you should hike!

I agree with you on this one, Jack! Mrs. Republic DC-9 and I enjoy several hikes a day starting at 4:50AM daily, and when it's -35F here in Wisconsin we do laps to music in our large (ranch) basement. And I sit on an inflatable exercise ball when I do anything with my sim...helps with balance, helps tighten the "core"...ok no "six pack" abs just yet but with AFS2, XP11 AND P3Dv4 installed and a bunch of Orbx releases in 2018, it's going to mean more simming/ball sitting, and I'm sure the Mrs. will be swooning soon, all thanks to our wonderful hobby!

Yup, I see a lot of people jogging all the time as I just plod along hiking. Either way, it's good to get out and get exercise. I used to jog all the time in my youth, but with a knee that had surgery and now needs replacing I can't. My skiing days are over. But I can still hike and enjoy the great outdoors. What you did in your shots was creative. I loved it. Did you do like I do, set crash detection off and just taxi around with a camera in front of the plane? I can't get that avatar to work for anything, I think he conflicts with my controls despite how many times I unbind them from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
