Jack Sawyer Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 This leg takes us from Bangkok, VTBD, to Alor Star, WMKA. Lots of flying over open water. Thought Martyn would like these of Bangkok as he's very familiar with Thailand. Getting dark! Boy does the sun set and rise fast in this part of the world! Sorry Eugene, no cockpit shots, I have another leg to post without cockpit shots but the next one I fly I'll take one for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper31 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 The scenery looks pretty good in these Jack, especially for Global! Nice leg of your race Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
European Mountain Man Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Well Jack more super shots i am enjoying you trips regards EMM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Lars Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Very nice shots, Jack, and a truly great idea to fly a historic air race! Does it really take that long from Bangkok to Malaysia? A beautiful aircraft with a mesmerizing livery, btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Lars, it's been quite an adventure and I'm still a long way off till I land at Melbourne. No, it started getting dark and I didn't want to post shots of just a dark screen. So I changed the time of day so others, myself included can see what that part of the world is like. This is because for me anyway I've never flown there in the sim so I wanted to see what it was like. Flying over all the desert then ocean and more ocean to come is very boring. But as soon as I hit Australia it'll be a lot better because I have Orbx Oz installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VH-KDK Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Thanks for thinking of me Jack. A very interesting leg of your flight with some green tropical scenes. I can even recognise the big loop in the river at Bang Na and down the coast at Laem Chabang. The ORBX AU desert scenery in is better than Global Base but you will have many hours of looking at red sand and spinefex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stillwater Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Though the houses look more like Berlin than Bangkok, the weather, mesh & green fields are great. Overall a good impression from your low & slow tour, Jack! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But of course, I'm with you in this case. Why flying an air race at night? We want screenshots, after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
