Jack Sawyer Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Gerold, @Stillwater said I should stop over to see the Taj Mahal so I did but sadly I didn't see it. I even went to the real-world coordinates but all I saw was an open field. So my flight was from Jodhpur, VIJO to VIAG, Agra. Some nice scenery, getting away from desert now. Look forward to the next leg. Hey! Anyone below know which direction to the Taj? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VH-KDK Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Great images Jack and you are now starting to head into some greener scenery as you make your way south. Maybe the druggies from around here took it, they will steal anything for a few bucks to get their next hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's beautiful and I would imagine quite heavy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stillwater Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Thanks for the risky experiment and detour, Jack. At least the plane was able to survive landing there... 22 minutes ago, VH-KDK said: Maybe the druggies from around here took it, they will steal anything for a few bucks to get their next hit. Or maybe it was the tourists? If every one takes a little stone, the Taj would disappear within short time (this is the queue for entry, the ticket desk to the left): Here you can see it should be just south of Yamuna River - which is relatively dry most of the year. This is how the monument looks in FSX (so it should be there in p3d as well?!)... ... and here you can see the Red Fort. Not. Not depicted...

I'm heading to Allahabad from where I left off and when I took off I saw it. So I captured a couple of shots, they're in the distance but I'm gonna have a look later when I get a chance.

It must be an amazing sight in RL and considering the FSim scenery is not even OLC, I don't think it is too bad. When OLC Asia comes out we can only hope that some of these remarkable structures will be given the POI treatment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
