VH-KDK Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I flew from Coventry down to Cardiff yesterday but here are a few views on final approach. 1. Great to be flying Old Big Head in XP-11 here approaching EGFF with a well depicted array of lights as well as the railway viaduct. 2. Saint Curigs Church at Porthkerry. 3. A beautiful sight coming in over the lights. 4. A view from the viaduct with Saint Curigs spire prominent. 5. Porthkerry Leisure Park in on the left. 6. Porthkerry Road appears to be a first class vantage point for spotting and photography. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifejogger Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Super shots Martyn!!!!!!!!! Looks like XP11 gives you the ability to take screenshots from a lot of different angles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundancer Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Yeah, great shots. I agree with John that XP11 has interesting points of view for taking screenshots, or do you use a tool for that. The trees in #2 need some improvements, don't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't looked into that yet but I am doing the same as I do in P3D and that is moving out from the aircraft using the appropriate keys. It's movements are a lot quicker than P3D though.

Thanks Fred, I am using the same method as I do in P3D and that is just moving around with the aircraft as the focal point. I use Ctrl + "+" and Ctrl + "-" in P3D to zoom in and out, I think it is the "," and"." keys in XP. It is much better this way as the scenery isn't distorted compared to using the zoom keys. I suppose the scenery is not meant to be seen from so close but it generally comes up really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Gerold, not too long as I like to do this a lot especially on the ground at airports. There I like to get some if the ground detail into the images too.

Rodger Pettichord Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Hey Martyn. You have made almost perfect use of the long shot here. The amount of information contained in each frame is incredible -- one comes away with a complete sense of place and particular of the approach. I really enjoyed this little visual essay. Thanks!
