Stillwater Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Here is the next part of my trip to the ABC islands https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABC_islands_(Lesser_Antilles) . Though Aruba is one of the four countries that form the Kingdom of the Netherlands, along with the Netherlands, Curaçao, and Sint Maarten, I was surprised to see it is not part of Netherlands TrueEarth . So I have put a freeware add-on on top of Orbx: Aruba photoreal taken from http://www.freewarescenery.com/fsx/antilles.html . Oranjestad, ... ... the west end of Aruba, ... ... and its east end. The Lago refinery and the nearby one on Curacao formed the two biggest oil refineries in the world before WW2. Don´t think it might have been dutch , it belonged to Standard Oil. A view back over the Island, with the PR scenery active and with pure FTX Global. The autogen of FTXG is much better, but the Islands character takes profit from PR. Henriks ships make the sea passage more lively... ... before the second ABC island comes into view. As we all have learned in school, A like Aruba is followed directly by ... C. Curacao. Willemstad Hato Intl. airport, perfectly equipped with ILS or whatever you need. And most probably with a huge duty free area... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curaçao_(liqueur) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Lars Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Very nice set of screenshots, Gerold! The problem of Photoreal is almost always that they look so washed out when you get closer. I wonder though if the ABC and Caribbean Islands are part of any openLC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the OLC manuals the entire islands are part of OLC NA or SA, respectively. Flying low over the photoscenery was awful. At least 2500 ft are required to get an acceptable impression. 6 hours ago, mikee said: Very Nice set of Shots Gerold Thanks Mikee! 3 hours ago, Jack Sawyer said: That was a cool flight Gerold!

Just chum the waters with some of your delectable Seafood Haggis Jack, and that will keep any sharks quite busy for you to slip by Heck, as far as we know, your Haggis may even kill them!
