yallu Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 RAAF requested the DC-2 to be moved to YWYY. So I got to do this little transit flight all alone during one of those bright and already bit cold fall mornings. What can I do - orders are orders... 01. Taking off 02. Turning right to follow the coastline 03. Sun is about to rise 04. Wide angle of the wonderfull FTX terrain 05. Colours are beautiful this time of morning 06. Panel of the amazing DC-2 (see http://www.dc2-fs.com) 07. The digital god created this world... 08. The coastline looks so live and real 09. Flying here is fun 10. Can't get enough of this environment 11. The coastline is turning - and since we follow the coastline... 12. From another angle 13. Descending for the approach 14. Gear down - thumbs still up 15. Close-up 16. One more foot - that's it, see you next time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldog Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Bloody good shots. Do you know what the yellow bands are for around the plane? A long time ago, way back when the plane was devised and built the bands denoted it was a prototype. ie, one of the first ones built. Now file that away because I will be asking questions later.

robcap Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Yallu, superb!! @Bulldog, the yellow bands indicate it was a trainer aircraft. Cheers, R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yallu Posted April 6, 2008 Author Share Posted April 6, 2008 very very nice, what weather settings do you use, I have FEX and mornings are too green. cheers This set is with Orbx Koorby Clouds 2, Orbx Brown Water and November Skies. I don't know if mornings are like that in Australia, the sky theme is probably a bit overdone but looks ok . My personal favorite is the Realistic Sky 3 taken from RL photos but it doesn't produce such dramatic screenshots. EDIT: I don't know if this has been talked before, but mayby the FTX team could work some RL looking FEX themes for Australia for each of the seasons (spring, summer, fall, winter, or even early spring, late spring etc. etc.).
