Senchay Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Left London in the morning for a short haul to Paris. Flight KE503 for Korean Cargo. All landscape is openLC EU (no England yet sadly) Crossing one of the other London airports on FL 50. UK has amazing SIDs. 10 minutes in and still on FL 50 :-) "VFR" in a biggie is amazing. When leaving the mainland a roll-cloud made a race with me If your unfamiliar, its one of this and REX Skyforce really simulates thosehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morning_Glory_cloud https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arcus_cloud#Roll_cloud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senchay Posted July 6, 2018 Author Share Posted July 6, 2018 Going down already. Very short flight. Near Paris (orbx openLC) Nice light-scattering from the clouds Getting dusty for a few mins here On the glideslope Another save flight and some tons of cargo delivered :-) 72.2 tons, to be precise.

Jack Sawyer Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Excellent Senchay! This was a joy to behold. What flight planning software do you use? I use PFPX. And you're right, the UK has some amazing SID's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wakashi Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Great set of shoots here! Our "roll" clouds here in Oklahoma come in the "vertical" mode if you know what I mean! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both are free tools with its quirks but after knowing what to look out for its not too bad. 4 hours ago, European Mountain Man said: Fantastic set of shots from your flight regards EMM 1 hour ago, VH-KDK said: A shortish but highly enjoyable flight.

Our "roll" clouds here in Oklahoma come in the "vertical" mode if you know what I mean! Thank you too :-) Yes, i know what you mean :-( But Its really hard to imagine as someone not used to it. Really surprises me how you can sleep there. But in Germany it starts too it seems and the neighboring countries as well. This year we had a few bigger tornados. Far from what US has but still something that we didnt see often, and they start to appear more and more. Btw, Skyforce really has them in. And maybe it sounds made up now but i guarantee its true (should be reproducible), the day it happened in Austria (around 1 month ago i think, maybe 2) it was simulated in the Sim. I remember it when i was flying in Italy near Austria i sa it and thought like "uhm sure sure Rex Skyforce, dont exaggerate now) because i really thought its a bug. Usually there no tornados here.... But then i saw it in the news in the evening. Really crazy how far sims are nowadays... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Living in the tornado belt (central OK) during the "season" April/May mostly, it is hard to feel comfy when those things are roaming the area! May have to try Sky Force so I can be in total control of that sort of weather, and you are right, crazy how far sim's have come since days of yore!
