Stillwater Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 The hungry pilot does not meet any tourists at the beach of Fingal (south of YBCG). It looks very white on my screen. Which, in contrast makes the dark colours even darker (a p3d effect?). Let´s go north over Coolangatta, ... ... and Broad Beach. Here you can see a way to measure the altitude of the Q1 building. It is the tallest building of the southern hemisphere, as most of you probably know already. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q1_(building) Some seconds further north we have a marina - with a nice helipad. But no one making a BBQ here, these yachtsmen all seem to visit fancy multi-star restaurants. So we pass Sea World, ... ... bring some greetings to the employees of the University Hospital, ... ... and enjoy the presence of the Cold Coast Hockey Centre, though in reality they have been resurfaced into olympic blue for the 2018 Commonwealth Games: http://www.gchmg.org/ Going on to YSPT Southport brings us a nice smell... ... and , finally, we find some people ready to put fresh steaks on the grill! Here we are right for the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvdboomen Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Another great set! I myself still have to find all those heli pads. Did you notice that the smoke blows in the direction of the wind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Lars Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Thank goodness your V-key worked so well. It's good to know where the BBQs are in the sim! No, I didn't know that the tallest building of the southern hemisphere stands at the Gold Coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For navigation I just used the map in the Gold Coast product description. And, for sure, low & slow searching... The smoke animation is great. What is now missing is just the smell ! 1 hour ago, BradB said: Magnificent set of shots Gerold , thankfully your "O" key is working again . Cheers John Thank you John.

I´ll just rescue the most valuable leftovers, Martyn. What I can say already is that the red-dressed person so prominent from Broome, Redding, Benton, Cairns, Catalina and many other places is not at Southport to be rescued. 10 minutes ago, lifejogger said: Great shots and flight Gerold, enjoyed looking at them.

But it is always a pleasure to find one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Sawyer Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 That was a superb presentation Gerold, I too didn't know it had so many helipads nor did I know about the tallest building in the Southern Hemisphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My pleasure to show you some of the features included in the CityScape. I am convinced you already own it, otherwise these days are well suited to close this gap...

TerribleT Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Yet another set of beutiful captures with such appropriate narrative. I continue to admire your chopper skills and seeing how much you have found in the scenery I think I will have to learn how to operate one!
