Mark Abdey Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 An exploration of Damyns Hall Aerodrome in XP11 before setting off and heading east (well, south first..) following the Thames to it's meeting with the North Sea. They have great holiday accommodation here. Impeccable detail... My son was playing farming simulator on the PS4 while I was doing this and this looks better. An amazing sense of 'being there' Time to fly. Nice overview of this charming aerodrome. London in the distance, but we're not going that way. Upminster. This final stretch of the river is far from pretty, with vast swaths of industry, but it is interesting... QEII Bridge. Tilbury Docks. Getting into something greener and less built-up. Marshland that was clearly in heavy use for something historically... something to look up. Reaching the end, with the North Sea in the distance. All taken in XP11.33r2 - using XVision 121 with my most recent preset. Thank you for looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Halliwell Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 More great shots Mark. I reckoned those features with raised banks in the penultimate shot looked like military constructions, and sure enough... http://www.cliffehistory.co.uk/the_explosives_works.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a feeling that is what this site would turn out to be, having seen these sort of ruined structures before. Fascinating stuff, and something only flying over TE can reveal... So, flight simming is educational as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piers Herbert Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Visited Damyns Hall today. From the simulator I was expecting the white runway edge markers to be 3D cones but in fact they're just flat inserts which you can't see easily from the air. Also there's two new hangars which are not in the model. Overall of course the simulator model is fantastic, especially the vegetation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy1252 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Came to look at this thinking we hadn't seen you for a while @Mark Abdey and then noticed the date. I must have missed these first time round but I gotta say (belatedly) that these are totally stunning. Whatever you're up to these days, I hope it's good stuff that's keeping you from here, rather than bad things. Come back and post more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
