Flying the F4 over the Fens

Recommended Posts

An exercise in alliteration! :D

 

I've always liked the "cute brutishness" of the F-4. Like the MiG-21 ... they look like they mean business! Wonderfully noisy too! Here' are five taken around Lincolnshire - TEGB in XP11:

... and finally ... my favourite:

A default XP11 aircraft with some freebie livieries I found.

The Fens remind me of parts of Holland - sea level with tall grass.  They certainly look soggy in your shots

 

No shots taken at the time, but the TE area around the fens proper looked exactly as you say. My first flights ever (as a young cadet) were from RAF Coningsby, so that landscape is full of warm memories.

I haven't given the default XP aircraft the attention they deserve.

 

Some of them are really not bad at all! Even the B737 is quite good (!).

I have never seen XP water textures look better.  Usually looks like carpet with a regular repeating pattern.  Must be some .org add-on, right ?

 

The add-on is FlyAGI - but even that only enhances water at certain heights. #1 was a bit of a fluke. #5 (the last one) is pure ORBX photoreal - no add-on required!

Despite my best efforts I can't locate the freebie repaint.

If possible, could you provide a link?

 

I got three RAF liveries from x-plane.org ... but I had to do a fair bit of jiggery pokery to make them work. PM me for more info!

 

... and to everyone else .. thank you for the kind comments!!!

 

Adam.
