Stillwater Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Jack, "your" Miami looks great! Unfortunately St. Maarten is a non-orbx area, that part of the market went to another magnificent designer team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Orbx Global and Vector around it but I like to abide by the rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For instance, like when you're flying under a bridge although you don't want to, but the approach plate absolutely positively requires you to fly that approach under that bridge? Thanks for sharing your pics, St. Maarten was one of my worst approaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its an easy approach, A/P there and hand fly the landing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chunk Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I like the shots Jack, and the developer that did that airport, as well as the surrounding area, did one hell of a job. I’ve a friend that lives on the French side of St. Maarten. They’re still recovering from the hurricane. Your shots captured that flight well though, and I’ve flown that route in RL as well!

Thanks Chunk. I can imagine they got hit hard. But I’d still love to visit there and watch the planes land over the fence at the beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Wasn't it Harpo Marx that said, "rules are like pie crusts, they are made to be eaten." A wonderful set Jack and I enjoyed your flight and a great choice of plane too. I would like to go here and look at the planes too, one of the great locations for those who are interested. Have they done the whole island or just the airport and it's immediate surrounds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it is what it is. Yeah, imagine being on the beach when those planes take off and land? I’d love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
