MacRobertson Air Race leg 16

Recommended Posts

This leg brings me closer.  We fly from Singapore, WSAP to Batavia, WIHH.  This was a very long leg and mostly over open ocean.

 

But before the flight the passengers requested to see the city so I obliged.

I guess this is a huge stadium where they play chess or something?

Great city tour, in a very convenient way. Well, not for those who had an excessive breakfast. Great shots of the old, historic Batavia as well - thanks for this great tour, Jack!

 

Still it is a pain to me that the POIs of Singapore city are totally missing in the sim. It is so spectacular!

Very nice flight Jack, and another nice leg pf the race. Your virtual passengers must have had mixed reactions to that vertical climb, but at least you gave them a safe landing...come to think of it, that's probably why they cheered...happy to be back on solid ground :)

Thanks Gerold!  I have one more leg till I land at Darwin and then it's Oz all the way. I too wish we had more POI's but maybe in good time we'll have them.

Imaginesim is working on their version of WSSS, I hope they're hurrying up a bit. We'll see how much of the city scenery will be included. A City Scene Singapore would be in order, too, of course.

In fact they are working in this update for years, requesting real life pictures to support. I have send some shots about 2 years ago, but no progress since then :huh:.

And I know a company that has developed a very good cityscape technology, it is Australia based and their people would frequently connect via Singapore, too...

Wonderful set especially the views of Singapore at every angle.:)

It would be nice to see Singapore better represented but Rome(?) wasn't built in a day!:rolleyes:

I thought Wednesday played at Hillsborough!:wacko::blink::unsure:

Oh, really? The last news is from October last year, they stated they are progressing...
