Jack Sawyer Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 This flight was to Bankstown, YSBK, chosen at random for a flight from YWVA, Warnervale. Dusk. It was nice. It was at this point I decided to set road traffic which I never use to 44% to see how it would look. It looked fabulous! 21 kt crosswind landing!

VH-KDK Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Some very nasty weather you were flying in Jack. It is enjoyable to experiment with various things like the traffic but remember to change from 44% when flying around the outback! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm glad you reminded me, I forgot to set it back to zero. I'd probably get a CTD if I flew a study level plane like one of the big jets.

Stillwater Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Sure there will be banks in this big town, mate. I see you are flying with current weather (=rain). Must be horrible around Sydney currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, almost missed your post too, all my Orbx notifications are now not being sent through Apple for some reason and when I use AT&T it gets sent to junk. This is driving me crazy.

renault Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Jack I see this and I wonder …. why can't my sim have clouds of this quality. But then I realize its not just the sim , but the guiding hand of the "screenshooter" who took them that made them come alive. Man oh man, I just can't get over shot #3 You have magic in your hands on this set Jack. Cheers R PS -- and not yellow or orange in sight!!

Rodger Pettichord Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Hey Jack. Nice pictures but an even better flying adventure. These are not friendly skies. You have to do some serious and quick meteorological interpretations as you fly this weather, and you have to respect your plane's limits. It was interesting to me that I felt safe in your passenger seat, something I would not say about every pilot in such skies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

renault Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Make you a trade Jack. I slipped on the ice and fell about 2 weeks ago. Still on painkillers for a wrenched back. Snow is not the white and fluffy stuff of my dreams. It cold, and hard when it gets packed down, treacherous to walk on, a pain in the ….. to shovel, hard to see in when its "snowing" , but marvelous to make snowballs and snowmen and snowforts and to go tobogganing on and so gorgeous when its freshly fallen and the sun comes out in the morning and its just simply wonderful when that happens I hate it …….

Clouds in XP are not the best - REX does such a nice job in P3D. I'm hoping that someone will come up with something comparable to what is available with other products. But I have to say , that the product that Iain uses for his clouds do look pretty nice Cheers R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now it's always sweltering heat which I detest. I like what AS4 and ASCA does, never tried REX for weather. But the Orbx weather scenarios are nice too, I use them occasionally when I need a certain look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
