Cape Town´s surroundings as they appear today

Even without the upcoming OLC Africa Cape Town should be worth a visit. Here we go heading south from the airport...

... and over the beach to False Bay.

The name of the bay is a tribute to those sailors who turned north after passing the wrong cape of South Africas southern tip: The real southernmost point is Cape Agulhas, a few miles to the east.

This one here is more famous, but misleading for some navigators:

The Cape of Good Hope. And I hope that we will see great improvements with OLC later this year... :rolleyes:

Getting back north to the town we cross the Table Mountain:

This is the view from his top. I have set the time to early morning to avoid the classical cloud coverage.

And that is the view back over harbourfront.

With a helicopter it is just a short hop over to this place. In reality the way back from Robben Island took much longer for some: Nelson Mandela was imprisoned here from 1964 to 1982, followed by two other prisons until 1990.

A wonderful set and narration Gerold.

Did you make it out of Robben Island ok, or are you still there?

Thank you Martyn. For safety reasons I didn´t even land on the island...

Cool shots Gerold.  Is number 8 Orbx default Global?

I have installed the aeroworx freeware landclass which is available on avsim... just to cover the time waiting for openLC Africa.

Please advise if this is from the default Orbx global package- considering purchasing the global package, but do most flying in South Africa in FSX steam edition

Sorry for copying the answer. There is just nothing more precise to say...
