renault Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Had some visitors today and a chance to do a bit of sightseeing … It was great … The young lass handled the flight and all I had to do was push the "v" key It was a lot of fun for all concerned As always thanks for stopping by Cheers Renault We started out at Portland International …. Pushback driver was very nice … I think he just left everything on "idle" as he backed us out It's nice just to go along for the ride for a change She does really well and is a stickler for all the proper procedures And we're up. It was fun just to see how much my guests were enjoying the experience That's where we're off to in the background … Mount Hood. It's about 3430 m and about 80 km from Portland. It is the tallest peak in Oregon Like most mountain flying , this may turn out to be a "cloud" sightseeing adventure Lots of nice forest areas though .... It's starting to clear. Maybe luck is with us today And here we are .... According to my map, thats listed as a "Government Work Camp" Time to head back .... Like so many of my flights ... it seems things clear up when I'm leaving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Thanks very much. I appreciate you commenting Yes , you are correct , it is TE Oregon and is the SD version. I quite like it - the detail is outstanding and the Orbx lads and lassies were right on in their assessment that above 2000 ft the detail is not noticeably different with the higher pixel size, compared with the HD version. In fact, at lower levels there is usually so much other material( POI's , ground vegetation etc.) that I actually haven't noticed So from my perspective I really am extremely pleased with it. I feel that one is not giving up anything and in fact even with a higher end gpu you get a bit of an added bonus in that it is definitely a very smooth experience.
