renault Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 As always I appreciate you stopping by to see what I have been up to. I hope you enjoy the screenshots of our little journey Cheers Renault XPlane 11.36r2 Orbx TE Washington HD Windshield effects from the librain plugin https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/50106-default-c172-librain-integration/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well here we are in Renton, Washington. I'm just going on a little trip out to Wenatchee in Eastern Washington It won't be low but will be slow and I hope you find it interesting. Not a good start though. Pretty wet as you can see by the "Spit" and its spray over there I'm just going through all the preflight stuff. My friend Dave in the ATC today. Great fellow and a bit "infamous" around these parts. His favorite saying is "If you can see the mountains it's just about to start raining ... if you can't it is" He assures me that it will be a great day. No sooner than I got the message the deluge started. So I'm through the CL. Lets get the engine started and maybe we can blow some of the precip off.... Everything looks good, so lets bring the rpm's up. At least I can see out & thanks Dave . Yes I see the X5 in front of me !! And we're cleared for takeoff .... Wow that was a big sheet of water that just "floated" across the windshield .. really distorts the view for a second or two. Make sure your belted in . It may be a bit rough for a while So the next little while we just climbed through a lot of gray. Not much to see And finally you get through it and its gorgeous. Dave ... how could I ever doubt your forecasting abilities Maybe it will clear up after all .... Well not so much Still its a pretty nice day for flying And here we are. Aside from the bumpy start , it wasn't too bad a flight ... We'll just do a bit of sightseeing before we head down Now you could say that we spent a lot of time sightseeing, but the truth of the matter was ... "Stop your flying and come help with supper"!. So I put it on "pause" and when I came back So time to land. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A screenshot simply is a poor representation . It's fascinating to watch in the sim. The raindrops move just like in real life Thanks for commenting Cheers Pete On 10/15/2019 at 7:31 AM, BigBend91 said: Nice set of shots . Thanks!
