Jack Sawyer Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I wanted to fly along the Washington coast in X-Plane. So I did a little while ago in real time but had to turn off the weather because the ceiling was only 300 feet and I wanted to see the scenery. It got dark so I did some XP night flying and it was amazing, with the lights of in my office and the 54" screen I felt like I was there. I started at KHQM, Bowerman, only additional items are the GTN750, xVision, and this Just Flight Arrow. Here was the real weather, very low ceiling. Weather off. ILS 16R at KSEA.

olderndirt Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 You picked one of the few lousy days this summer. Come back in the winter when they're all lousy. Great shots of the Pacific beaches and the 'Arrow' with the funny tail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dario Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Lovely shots, Jack! I followed your advice and switched from ASXP+UWXP+XVision to ASXP+XVision only. Weather representation improved 100%. Thank you! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Adam, it was so bad though that I would have missed out on all the scenery if I went above 300 feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
