VH-KDK Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 The first part of a flight from Southampton to Inverness. 1. A few ground views to start off with and the weather it a typical summer's day. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Finally off and over the old Southern Region Works at Campbell Road. 8. Finding the beautiful old Battle of Britain Class Tangmere following the Twyford Road. 9. Passing over Winchester with the M3 making it's way to London on the left. 10. Close to Whitchurch and if your eyes are good you can just make out Popham to the left of the starboard wing tip. 11. Reaching the clouds and the town of Basingstoke can be seen. 12. The Thames flows past Didcot with the Power Station and GWR Railway Centre. The next part is to follow later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Sawyer Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 So nice Martyn! Really good shots of England, and does that train move? I love it. Been ages since I flew there. And I simply HAVE to fly my A320 again soon. Flying a 182 now in Germany, maybe later tonight I'll dust off the 320. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stillwater Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Southampton scenery is and has always been great. And England also seems to look better now in v4... maybe I´ll have to pay it another visit, too...?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Jack, I have been very happy flying these Airbuses around which make a change from the default 738! Yes the steam engine does move along with all of the electric units. I might be wrong but I think you have to go into the EGHI control panel to activate it/them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not in England now so there is room for you to explore. The only bad thing with the surrounding scenery is they just stopped before my old house.

You mean they have forgotten one of the most important POIs in the region pack? No way. We will have to wait for a GB-sized photoreal before we can call the mission "accomplished". Or maybe just see how the impression feels now in v4... ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Historically I was a King in biblical times and a son of the man Shakespeare says killed MacBeth was also King David (Holyrood Abbey). Probably neither answered to Dave.
