Stillwater Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 It was nearly obvious where I would take the tourists to after arriving at el Aeroporto Internacional de Foz do Iguacu, though the airfield looks a bit deserted... First we go north over the city of Foz... ... and then a spin over the huge Lake Itaipu. The lake is there, but where´s the dam? OK, here you can spot it (under the 530´s tail). Just a bit greener than in RL...! Let´s follow the Iguacu river which seperates the cities Ciudad del Este on the Paraguay side (right), Foz do Iguacu on the Brazil side (left) and Puerto Iguazu in Argenina (at the horizon). Here we shoud see the Iguacu Falls. Difficult to overlook them, it is the largest waterfall system in the world. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iguazu_Falls OK, maybe the effects are missing here... And just south of the falls is another international airport: SARI, called Aeropuerto Mayor D Carlos Eduardo Krause . What a name! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Kealy Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Nice. I think the Iguassu Falls were the first thing I looked for when LC South America was released. Whilst not modelled the area generally is very good indeed. Such a pity that Buenos Aires is modelled so very badly but I digress! Good job Stillwater.

I always hope that our feedback re some special lacks of openLC would be noted by someone for an occasional update - at least we make it easier. Who knows what will come... !

Sniper31 Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 A nice exploratory flight of this area of South America. It would have been nice to see the falls, but the scenery still looks pretty good for your flight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Jack. I love the 530, it is such a great model. And I really hope the POI gaps we identify today will be closed tomorrow. 1 hour ago, BradB said: Fantastic shots and even better spelling Gerold .

bernd1151 Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Terrific flight, Gerold. Btw, if you google Iguacu Falls, you'll find a freeware one for FSX. But of course I'm not sure, whether it works in 4.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely... not, Martyn. As usual all over the world for these scenic flights the tourists are charged heavily and get no guarantees or refunds. Plus, they find the tip cab at the exit of the airport, just next to the street robbers. 6 hours ago, Bermuda425 said: Superior selection of shots Gerold!

I am very pleased: Now we have got the Itaipu Dam... ... the Bridge of Friendship... ... and the falls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
