Stillwater Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Sim pictures taken yesterday, the real ones 1 week ago. It is fantastic how good one can recognize the reality from the sim. Or the other way round. "Taking off" at the hotel Barceló Sants... ... towards the Placa de Espana with the Plaza de Toros - nowadays a shopping center. The view from the Museo de Catalunya... ... and its backside with the olympic torch of 1992. The olympic stadium... ... and, over the hill, down to the Mirador: The Teleferic with some views... ... of the Montjuic, ... ... the city center, ... ... the Westin hotel ... ... and the harbour. Then it became too dark, so I head to head for something we can not find in the sim. May I repeat how great the cityscape appears? Even when flying so low (and photoreal parts are not optimal for that). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Lars Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Yet another grand post from Barcelona. I wonder when we can expect "sweets flow" from Orbx. Perhaps I wouldn't have to eat them anymore when I can see them on my computer screen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodger Pettichord Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Hey stillwater. What a fascinating approach to this tour. It was really interesting to see the sim and the real in direct comparison, and your shots did a great job of highlighting significant scenery. Very, very enjoyable. Thanks!

Jack Sawyer Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 These were excellent Gerold, I loved them all and they did a great job here. And those pastries in the last one made my hungry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have to disappoint you: The Tapas on the table need to be eaten warm: The one in the front is a vegetable-pepper mixture, the next one is black haggis (for Jack!), followed by Croquetas de pollo and catalan sausages. 2 hours ago, Rodger Pettichord said: Hey stillwater.

In this case I had to follow my real life tracks, and that was easy given the quality of the cityscape. 2 minutes ago, Jack Sawyer said: These were excellent Gerold, I loved them all and they did a great job here.

While the wine was cold . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
