Touching the Bay of Fires


Stillwater

Recommended Posts

Today we go for another major tourist route along the east coast of Tasmania. From Friendly Beaches, where we stopped yesterday, ...

... heading north, where the small access road meets the A3.

A look over the shoulder shows us Great Swanport and the Freycinet coast to the left.

Bicheno. A good place for Fish & Chips, Coffee and Sunrise watching.

Work for the driver to cross Elephant Pass. Easier for the pilot...

St. Helens, beautifully located at a bay. For me this would be a good location for an Orbx airport as well.

And if need be, one could include Binnalong Bay...

... and the Bay of Fires.

A long and winding road leads us via Scottsdale...

... towards Launceston. Runway 32 to our right, sorry I can´t give you evidence of the landing today.

Has anybody seen Martyn, btw?

I spoke to him last night for a couple of hours on Discord.  He's fine, busy raising birds, coping with the virus restrictions, and has been busy with other real world stuff.  I asked him to post here and he said he would when he gets a chance.

Sweet shots, I saw you fly overhead , the same daft sod that did friendly beaches also did St Helens, maybe it got lost in all the repackaging.

cheers:lol:

Sorry for disturbing your weekend with my plane´s noise, Ken.

I do have the YSTH airstrip in my OZx packs, but the quality is still slightly lower than I would like to see (and pay for).

Very Nice shots Gerold , i like them all :)

Is this Carenado's  C-185 ?

Yes Mikee, it is the Carenado 185 (Tundra version). A lovely and easy-to-use low&slow machine.

That´s good news, Jack. Thank you for staying in contact with him. In case you find the time send him my warmest greetings!

I see you have caught the Tasmania virus Gerold which many of us have suffered from in the past  - beware it is very strong and never really goes away :D lovely captures by the way and your sim is so perfectly set up for screenies!

PR was pretty shocking back then, when another sim comes out with all of Taz in photo real I might make a package of the tassie airstrips.

... and you may imagine how this looks in motion! I like it, keeping in mind my machine is now some years old.

I like to read that idea, but I am not totally convinced of potential "sims to come". Let´s wait and see. Or, better: Let´s fly (with what we have) and see (what comes someday)!

That first one reminds me of a visit to Batchelor airstrip south of Darwin although not red.

Wait, Ben, wait... you are 3 posts away!
