Jack Sawyer Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 All Orbx all the time Just made a nice flight From Calgary, CYYC to Winnipeg, CYWG. Used all appropriate SID & STARs. Real weather with AS4. I loved it. "Positive rate, gear up." I really liked this one, the sun shadows, the HD Buildings, it's cool. On final 100% hand flown, throttles, flight controls, following the ILS down to the runway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Sawatzky Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Ya, going east towards CYWG is definitely flat, but just west of CYYC is the total opposite. we have the foothills and a beautiful skyline view of mountains looking west. This is where I work Mon-Fri during the day, my shop is in the NW corner of the Air Canada Hangar, if you zoom in you can see my white shop van parked outside the back door. https://www.google.com/maps/place/8050+22+St+NE,+Calgary,+AB+T2E+7H6/@51.1246112,-114.0045237,329m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m13!1m7!3m6!1s0x5371641326050ca7:0x5e91a670e8a9d46f!2s8050+22+St+NE,+Calgary,+AB+T2E+7H6!3b1!8m2!3d51.124114!4d-114.0046878!3m4!1s0x5371641326050ca7:0x5e91a670e8a9d46f!8m2!3d51.124114!4d-114.0046878 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We ran into a blizzard heading south over the border and ended up in Browning MT for the night . John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to Banff, Lake Louise and Jasper. We are currently in Sun Peaks tonight and heading back to Vancouver tomorrow for our last four days before arriving back in UK on Friday. Where I plan to purchase Orbx Oregon. I do wish the Canadians would let JV and the Orbx Team have the BC and alberta photo / Ortho pictures they require for a reasonable price so we could all fly over Canada as well.

Kev D Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Lovely shots, Jack - nice area too, in a previous life I used to fly to Calgary, then on to Edmonton and then by road to Cold Lake for an exercise called Maple Flag at the airbase there. It always amuses me that I could do that drive with snow everywhere, but in the UK a half inch or so would stop the traffic!! Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maple Flag, now that brings back memories, I used to go to Red Flag in Nellis and didn't they have some Maple Flag exercises in Nellis? Not sure, they all blend together now.
