Jack Sawyer Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 So I finally decided to make leg three. Rome LIRA to Athens LGAV. It was quite a long flight but worth it. All Orbx stuff, PMDG DC-6, and AS4. I think the next leg will be in the Connie. This is one very dense city. Been here in real life a long time ago and loved it. The lights, yes, there was an Airbus behind me I love the lighting at this time of day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulb Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Well done Jack! . I did wonder if you would continue with your flight or just have a break. Some excellent shots there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some excellent shots there! Thanks Paul! Just been so busy writing, wracking my brains to make those comics, and other stupid real world nonsense that takes me away from flying in my little slice of Orbx Heaven. This flight was challenging in that the autopilot works but you have to constantly adjust for drift. But it makes it fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well always enjoy Orbx my friend (as I know that you do) Anyway Jack, that is the challenge of flying one of these classic aeroplanes! (which you can do better than me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VH-KDK Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Excellent set Jack and you appear to be like me in having breaks from a long flight project. I was flying the short distance along the Thames and have got as far as London City and really need to get back and finish the job. Just to make things worse I have started another long flight in NZSI so I have two flights on the go! Isn't the OLC EU scenery fantastic. I mean it doesn't have uncle Spiro's olive grove at Salamina but it is what I call believable scenery. The DC-6 is a magnificent plane too and what a glorious livery as well.

Stillwater Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Great flight work (with the correction of the A/P), great looking plane, and great scenery, too. I keep my fingers crossed you get the time to keep up with this interesting tour, Jack! 1 hour ago, VH-KDK said: Isn't the OLC EU scenery fantastic. I mean it doesn't have uncle Spiro's olive grove at Salamina but it is what I call believable scenery. Corrrrrect. That´s what I also like in OLC - sometimes I know the scenery better and miss the Tavernas in Greece, but the general impression is fantastic. And will be sufficient for either regions I do not know so well (South America or Africa), or that change so fast no scenery maker can keep up with (Asia).

Sniper31 Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Great race reports and screen shots Jack, good job getting back into the race! And Martyn, just who exactly is this uncle Spiro you speak of? I mean, Orbx OLC scenery is pretty darn good, but I didn't expect them to be putting fictional characters in from Martyn's exploits across the globe...that would be pushing the envelope for even Orbx 4 hours ago, VH-KDK said: I mean it doesn't have uncle Spiro's olive grove at Salamina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always find it interesting when doing a reinstall and seeing the difference in each stage. I always test from the same airport, usually from EDLE Essen, after each install to make sure all is well, Global, OLC then the region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
