A break, inspired by Carlos...

After Carlos reminded me of "the guilty one"...

... I had to interrupt my South America exploration and return "home". I had nearly forgotten the beauty of Bowerman, with its NatureFlow singing, the BBQs smoking and the people moving around Lana´s cafe.

The never-activated Satsop power plant.

Olympia...

... and Tacoma with its famous bridge. Jack, please take over here!

While I went on to Wax Orchards...

... and had a look at Vashon Mun, ...

... before heading south over Port Tacoma...

... towards Auburn.

During that flight I had some stutters, but always enough FPS. AI traffic was 60% commercial, 40% GA.

Warning: this post contains 3rd party add-ons. But you may forgive me: I have to show this little move to Mr. S. ...

Finally some little city icons: Clink, ...

... Space Needle...

... and the Ship Canal Bridge.

To be continued... the inspiration works just too good!

Two more posts, that´s a real punishment. And it means I have to make two more flights :o:D!

What a brilliant set Gerold with some amazing scenery around Seattle.:D

Bowerman is my default airport and the noises in the background are a beautiful extra.:)

Thank you, Martyn. You make the point, and all this is included in a freebie!

Another barbarian punishment for me. I would even chose an island south of the red motherland if I were forced to B)!

Very interesting shots and scenery Gerold!

Thank you Francois. BTW I get closer to the border of your country, let me see if I can even cross it...!

That is good to hear Gerold, they tell me Macquarie Island is pleasant this time of year:) but I don't think there is a McDonalds there.:unsure:

Gerold, what a fine spotlight of Bowerman....it is such a special and free scenery package, and your narration that went along with it was very fun and interesting as well. And you tell Mr. Martyn that if he gets you sent off to some penal colony, well then, I may just have to organize a rescue mission....I can do that you know ;) I know people....

Excellent Gerold!  I loved them ALL and yes, that 530 through the Boeing hangar was exquisite!  I was delighted!  It's been so so so very long since I've been to Seattle in the sim, I forgot how detailed it was.  Been gun shy I guess because of bad OOM/VAS memories.

Well, I am sure you know that I mean a bigger island with a lot of wilderness. And there I would not need any McD at all...:D!

Is the sky and clouds REX here?

I think I'm needing that addon :-)

Yes, as you can see in the spoiler of my signature. I also use ActiveSky CloudArt, but I turned ActiveSky off for this flight as it was raining with low-hanging clouds. I think this is orbx weather 6 or 7...

Thanks for the offer, Landon. For the time being it is unclear if I can have an influence on the place of punishment - if it´d be Tasmania you can take some time before you rescue me...:D!

I just HAD to do that move, Jack, and I was naturally thinking of you while doing it.

p3dv4 rocks, even in this area, formerly known as the biggest VAS graveyard. As I said there were some stutters, but acceptable. And the FPS were always over 20 - on my computer and with my settings... Satisfying.

Interesting, more for Orbx I would say that a free airport is the default one for some.. cool

It is a nice one indeed. It happens with several, once flying they reveal the magic hidden the images

Thank you Magic! With no OOS risk this area makes much more fun than in FSX.

Awesome stuff Gerold, I must visit there soon it's been a while. :)

It was the same situation for me - I needed the inspiration of this forum to get back there for some flights...!
