Stillwater Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 The spelling is no mistake here, sportsmen. It is summer in Europe, don´t forget that - so I did not use a 150 cm board for this jump, but a 200 KA! You can already guess from this intro statement which bird I will choose here in Landvetter. Off we go, over the fantastic coastline of Göteborg. The danish island Laesö, "pearl of the Kattegat". We reach it from the east... ... and in this picture one should be able to the the big eastern dunes at Höjsande (up to 22 m height - missing) and Österby havn (the village is home of the Jomfru lobster festival - should be at the left corner at the end of the road). Nice northern weather while heading back eastwards to Sweden, ... ... over Halmstad ... ... and Helsingborg. This is the place with the shortest distance between Danmark and Sweden and a popular ferry harbour. And here we are already on final into Copenhagen, with the opera to the right, ... ... the Öresund bridge to the left, ... ... and the 22R just underneath.

Rodger Pettichord Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Gerold: thanks for an interesting trip. The hazy effect really made it seem real. And it was fun scooting from one side of the plane to the other to look out the windows. I felt like a real tourist. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very nice flight with the Swedish Fly Weapon, with spicy RL photos. The Öresund Bridge, is it from Orbx? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wakashi Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 These shots hit some real high notes (especially over the opera house). Love the mixology of the real world and OUR world, and I also liked knowing where I was when I was there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sorry I did not wear the seat belt during approach, but I had to take pictures of these great views! 19 hours ago, VH-KDK said: Thanks for this latest narrated flight Gerold.

The weather should be ok, and I yet have to explore GES! 17 hours ago, Captain Lars said: What??! I understand only trainstation. A very nice flight with the Swedish Fly Weapon, with spicy RL photos. The Öresund Bridge, is it from Orbx? Ah, sorry for confusing you totally, Lars. 1. Boardercross is the reference to the winter sports https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowboardcross , while I was just jumping multiple times from Sweden to Denmark and back. 2. Easy choice not to take the Lufthansa but the much better service of the Swedish. Besides the fact I already mentioned to use the KingAlpha 200. 3. The Öresund bridge still is a problem for me: I have the FlyTampa version installed, but still I have the Orbx one in parallel. I did not manage to get rid of the second one. One day I´ll post a service request... 13 hours ago, Wakashi said: These shots hit some real high notes (especially over the opera house).

Concerning the Öresund bridge, I also spot two bridges, a shiny one that resembles the real thing, and a Vector pontoon - basically the same as in San Francisco Bay. And I cannot remember having installed even one. There's a freeware one from FSDG, perhaps I try that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you won´t like FlyTampas EKCH, which comes with the bridge and is a brilliant airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea where to fly with EKCH and with which airline though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been flying in real life between EKCH and Hannover, Hamburg, Aberdeen, Stanstead, Peking and Shanghai. But they also have mid-distance connections to Norway. Or anything across the pole - just like Arlanda? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
