VH-KDK Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Steely skies and a glassy sea in between some very sparse scenery! Wonderful images John, dont forget to have your life jackets and survival suits on board if you are flying further south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John I thought they looked like photos of clouds so since its photo real you're stuck with them? I had this a long time ago in FSX, I had a photoreal Hawaii, I forget now who made it and it's been binned a long time ago. But there were permanent clouds that got caught in the satellite photos. I was wondering if this was the same thing? And yes, P3D is not without it's flaws too, I agree, the wave action is not very real as I grew up on the ocean and these would be tsunamis on the ground level.
