renault Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 One of my favourite places to fly, back in my FSX days was from Bowerman to Ocean Shores and back to Bowerman For some unexplained reason, this Sunday afternoon, I decided to start at Ocean Shores. Both are not Orbx airports, but XPlane Gateway, but the surrounding scenery is TE Washington ... It does bring back memories .... And off we go . Even though it is different than FSX, it does seem familiar all the same And since I'm in "exploration mode", I'll just go down to the far end of the runway Houses seem to be updated, but most places in the world get renovated to some extent over time... And we're all ready and we're off .... Oh, oh, not looking good .... OMG Well that was exciting ( I think !) - now on to Bowerman, but that's for another day As always thanks very much for viewing Cheers Renault And a close up look ..... It's beautifully rendered. I think that somethings buried there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olderndirt Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Western Washington does have a wide ranging mole problem but this looks like something more sinister - an unauthorized sewage line gone awry or a new mini fault line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I could understand a runway somewhere in Melbourne having a speed hump but I thought them in the US were more sensible. Hang on, it is Washington! Wonderful images and I hope it didn't spoil your Sunday afternoon too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very odd indeed - carries XPlanes check box to allow runways to follow contours to a whole new level Cheers Pete 2 hours ago, BradB said: Terrific set of shots Pete . Thanks John.

A bit of a trip down memory lane. Bowerman was my all time fav , of any Orbx airport and I still miss it. Had a lot of fun flying there The rest of the area is very similar as you would expect it to be. Ocean Shores is pretty much spot on , expect for this little "bump" Cheers Pete 27 minutes ago, Dana Mills said: speed bumps and great screen shots Thanks Dana!
