HeKa48 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 The Afsluitdijk (English: Enclosure Dam) is a major causeway in the Netherlands, constructed between 1927 and 1932 and running from Den Oever on Wieringen in North Holland province, to the village of Zurich in Friesland province, over a length of 32 kilometres (20 mi) and a width of 90 metres (300 ft), at an initial height of 7.25 metres (23.8 ft) above sea level.

Sundancer Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Nice shots HeKa48, especially #3. From which altitude was that shot taken? It surprises me that the whole IJsselmeer and Markermeer can be seen but also ground details at Kornwerderzand.... -Fred- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikbenik Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Great shots and a vast overview in 3rd shot in crispclear detail, very well done. Where did you get the KLM-livery for the (I suppose payware Carenado) Beech Bonanza? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henk Hi Henk, You are looking a 80 km distance from the airplane's position to the other (South) end of the Markermeer...... Is that possible...? Yes, of course, the shot doesn't ly.......But, I find it remarkable. -Fred- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The length of the Afsluitdijk is 30 km and can be seen completely! Maybe Henk can give details how this shot was made. Regards Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The distance to the horizon at 14'000ft is about 145 miles. Means: something around 200km (!). And usually, I set the view distance in my sim to 90 miles. Unless this is restricted further down due to real world weather conditions using a weather addon, you will see the full 90 miles inside your sim at 14'000ft...

Well I am very surprised by such distance of horizon visibility That would mean that flying over my location (Liège belgium) I would be able to see the sea...and it is absolutely not the case at such altitude.... Also to see Bruxelles at 100 km...Impossible ! I would say again that the visibility would be of around 20-40 km maximum (of course the very far line of horizon could be a bit at more distance but you see nothing...) I took a view from google map to show distances references...Between the 2 bridges lines of your last screenshot the distance would be of around 40 km ... Maybe others experiences could confirm ?

Holger Sandmann Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Hi there, here's one of those online horizon distance calculators: http://www.ringbell.co.uk/info/hdist.htm Obviously, atmospheric conditions usually limit the actual distances that can be seen at a given location but on clear days one can definitely see farther than just 20-40km at 14000ft. It's also important to realize that the landscape at far distances becomes visually compressed into a narrow band and thus it's usually not possible to distinguish features anymore unless they have unusual shapes or dimensions (mountains, large highrises or bridges, etc.). Something to keep in mind in FSX/P3D is that the high-detail landscape scenery that moves with the user aircraft doesn't extend to the horizon. Thus, with clear weather and at higher altitude one starts to see the ugly border to the low-resolution global satellite image, which is why restricting view distance does make sense.
