Jack Sawyer Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 P3D 4.5 All Orbx stuff MilViz Bell 407 No weather on This was requested by @JMBIII. He asked me to see if this cemetery existed in the new CityScene. I hadn't had the time till now. So I went to the Wiki page he provided, typed in the coordinates and there it is. It's a very beautiful place in the sim. Thanks Orbx for this beautiful area. Here you go Joe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy1252 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Beautiful shots, Jack. Not a place I knew of, but it is wonderfully done and I'm really pleased to see it there. As I've advanced in age to the point where my joints are complaining and my hormones have quietened down, and as I have increased my already large reading habit to encompass more and more 20th/21st century history, my sadness and rage at the truly stupendous stupidity and aggression of the male of the species has reached the point where I just wonder how we ever managed to survive this long. Far wiser men than me have pointed out that war brings out both the best and the worst in man, and I find it impossible to see memorials like this now without feeling a huge wash of sadness for it all. Even in a sim. I shall go visit, even though only in pixel form, to pay my respects. And a pox on the warmongers everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMBIII Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Been away for a bit, Jack, and hadn't seen your post 'til now. Great shots! Thanks for showing me (and others). A very somber and humbling place. The same as Arlington or any of the smaller National Cemeteries. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Memorial_Cemetery_of_the_Pacific I do not know, but I would imagine/hope other countries have similar resting places for their 'heros'. >andy1252 - I agree with your words. War is the bane of the human species. Even from the dawn of time - just look at the first few minutes of Stanley Kubrick's "2001". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
