teecee Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Well EMM, you sure have your system running fine, and obviously some very fond memories. If you can't go there in RL, remember them by going in the sim.. It's what I do, particularly if it looks as good as yours does. Teecee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sniper31 Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Great tour of your old driving route Stewart I can understand how you miss that. Driving through beautiful mountains never gets old. One of the main reasons I will be retiring here in Colorado, right next to the great Rockies Anyhow, these are some very good shots from the EMM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Hello Stewart, Admirable pictures. Like you, I have spent a good chunk of my life driving lorries and my best memories are of the relatively few trips I made into Europe. I managed to go to Spain only 31 times, twice before the borders came down, Poland once, while the borders were still up, France and Northern Italy three times and perhaps ten trips to Holland. I once was able to go over the Frejus tunnel instead of through, to Turin and I shall never forget that. It was always in my blood and I too miss it no end.

Thanks Nick I am pleased you liked my set of shots from my flight over mt blanc like you when I started driving in Europe went local for a few years Belgium , Holland and Germany and France like you I went to Poland once with my own truck a Volvo f10 when I was park up I had a tyre slashed and it cost me loads of money for a new one never went there again . The first part of my driving local was for about 5 years . and then for 20 years or more drove Italy and Spain must of been through the tunnel about 50 times day and night fro my self as a owner driver and working for someone , More to Spain trip a week with my own truck I puled for MacAndrews' through some one that give me running money for derve and tolls when needed before I went to Spain I was going to Yugoslavia during the first war did loads of trips to split and other places in Yugoslavia I was getting good money but could not get any insurance for there because I was going to a war zone but got fined in Yugoslavia for no insurance must of gone 20 times did not go there after that I was taking aid and I went to Albania once . Like you mainly Spain for years when I did not have my own truck I worked for Dorothy bowman from nr Durham I lived in saeham harbour in the north east for years before I moved to Cornwall . Like you Nick it is in my blood and miss it like hell when I fly in Europe it brings back loads of memories and do remember Queuing on the stairs at dover with a load of T2 for customs when you did not have to clear customs it was not the same because use to meet other drivers at Irun and Madrid coslada and Barcelona etc. regards EMM stewart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Sawyer Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 These are some of your best Stewart! I mean Mt. Blanc and that area is so photoreal I'm stunned. Really gorgeous scenery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Musketeer Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Beautiful scenery, beautiful shots. I have been luck enough to see some of these places from the ground and they are beautiful in real life. In terms of aerial views over this area, unfortunately I've only seen them from >30,000ft on a commercial flight. Would love to see it from a lower altitude some day! Also, I have to say the orbx scenery looks very good considering this is not a full FTX region. It almost looks good enough to be a full region!
