Stillwater Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Taking off from Munich across the Arena... ... and over Oberschleißheim. The Olympic parc of 1972 to the left, Moosach to the right. Some views in western direction... ... and to the city center in the south. You can see the Theresienwiese in the simmed shot in the right background. It is currently being prepared for the upcoming Oktoberfest. The different views are mainly because of the altitude, the Olympic tower pictures were taken from just 600 ft AGL. Turning south over Schwabing with the Siegestor, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, the Englischer Garten (where I miss the iconic Monopteros temple), and the city center in the background. Looking back to Munich. Following the motorway to the Starnberger See... ... and winding up the roads between Kochel- and Walchensee. Entering the pass at Mittenwald... ... across Schartnitz, which is already on the Austrian side. The old times when the fuel was cheaper in felix Austria are gone now. Minutes later we enter the Inn valley... ... while steeply descending the road at the Zirler Berg. Look what´s around the corner... ... from street level you can´t see that much. Getting down to park at the gliders area... Uups. The 337 has disappeared! Now I hope to meet the pilot of that yellow plane who has been seen here recently.

ikbenik Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Great collection of entertaining shots over Muenchen and further over the German-Austrian border to Innsbruck. Fine switch with real photos in between, a touristic guide in total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wakashi Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 You Sir, have become the official mixologist of the forum! You seem to be able to whip up a concoction of pics from almost anyplace and then have us have to guess which one is real or sim, most excellent post once again!

Captain Lars Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Fantastic shots, Gerold, the landscape there is superb. I'm currently reading Reinhold Messner's report of his 14 8,000m mountains. I'm too couchy to get on a mountain, but I love them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodger Pettichord Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Gerold, it's hard to believe how real your shots are. The scenery, the plane textures, the skies--all look like they are from a photo calendar. You must have some serious money into scenery, planes, and computer. In any case, well done again. Thanks!

I decided that my next rotation is going to be with PIA. I have sceneries for each airport along the way, and one or two of the flight plans will lead me in a very short distance abeam the Nanga Parbat, and K2 and the Gasherbrum group in the Karakorum shouldn't be to far away!

In the area I think yes, there's Skardu sure, and then the route is continuing through Tibet where we have the usual suspects (don't know which at the moment, Urumqui must be one of them). I do think that PIA's service to Tokyo is going south of the Himalayas, but I'll be going north at least once (twice if the weather is bad).
