Dario Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 This weekend I traveled to London, landing at the beautiful London City Airport. I took some shots during the landing phase, and the came to XP11 and looked for the same locations. I was amazed at how close to real life this is!!!! Well done ORBX!!! Hope you like to comparison shots - the real shots were taken with a small cell phone camera, so sorry for the low quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stillwater Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 You may know I absolutely LOVE real-life-sim-comparison shots - like these, Dario. Thanks for the "work"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Excellent comparison images Dario. The reality is so real there is no escape! Interesting to see the Dartford Tunnel next to the QE2 Bridge in your RL photo, I didn't realise they were together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Sawyer Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 Thanks for these Dario, they did a great job I would say, and man do I love how close this is to real life. But I'm very impressed at how you managed to get the same shot as the photos, nicely done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, @Stillwater ! I don't know how old you are but, in my case, I saw all the generations of flight simulators. in 1998, the MS FS box brought the saying "as real as it gets". At that time, we needed lots of imagination to see that sim world as "real". Not anymore. I confess I was shocked to see how close to reality this thing is!

When I took the shots, I doubted i would be able to find in XP11 all those shots I took in real life.... but... I think everything was easier just because of the ultra level of realism. Thank again and happy flights! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After seeing with my own eyes the level of realism ORBX achieved here, it became an even more pleasurable experience to fly there in the sim. Regards!
