Stillwater Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 The right place to start a little great ocean road tour: Apollo Bay. Turning around Cape Otway. The mouth of Gellibrand river looks much more impressive now in AU v2. Whereas the 12 Apostles still are a bit unspectacular. Passing Warrnambool, ... ... the Tower Hill lake, ... ... and Port Fairy. Heading inland, ... ... to Ant´s Airport Hamilton Aero. The airport itself still works well, but I have lost some taxiways when changing from FSX to p3dv4.

VH-KDK Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 A wonderful set Gerold. Good to see the 12 Apostles appear in the latest scenery even though there are only now 7 of them and only ever 8. You were too late to see London Bridge (now called The London Arch) though as it fell down several years ago, a good job nobody was flying under it when that happened! With Hamilton and Port Fairy you are back into known territory for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Sawyer Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Nice shots Gerold, and I imagine it'll look a lot better when Orbx releases Australia for X-Plane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I am not a multi-simulator-user, it is hard enough for me to maintain one. And though XPlane might be very good for screenshots, I hear that there is lots of flight sim realism missing - I do expect AI traffic, weather, seasons, and all these little helpers we have been getting used to. 9 hours ago, VH-KDK said: A wonderful set Gerold.

It was too far for me to go to the southern ocean, but I need to go to Helgoland soon and the the Lange Anna https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lange_Anna , before she breaks down! At least I was fortunate to see the Dedo de Dios years ago https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Dedo_de_Dios . Can you imagine a pilot that would be crazy enough to fly under a rock bridge?

VH-KDK Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 These were local features when I lived in Bournemouth Gerold. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durdle_Door https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Harry_Rocks It was interesting to read about Lange Anna and El Dedo de Dios both of which I had never heard of.

Great formations you make me aware of. And probably other, more dangerous pilots here ( @Jack Sawyer )... 16 hours ago, lifejogger said: Enjoyed the flight and the shots!!!!!

Aussieflyer38 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Great shots Gerold. Spent a lot of decadent summers in the Apollo Bay region many many years ago. Unfortunately progress has spoilt it, it was a great small fairly quiet place to hang out in summer, until we got there. These days its a busy modern costal hub.

And the phenomenon of overtourism spoils many places nowadays, it was much better at least 20 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
