Stillwater Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Welcome to the next leg of my South Africa tour. A nice view to the Drakensberg mountains after leaving Hoedspruit... ... and here we see the entry of the Blyde River Canyon again. The Berlin and Lisbon Falls area... ... and our (planned) accomodation in Graskop. But today we cross the Long Tom Pass westwards... ... pass Mashishing ... ... and the (hidden) Dullstroom. We follow the N4 near Middelburg, ... ... and reach the outskirts of Johannesburg. The airport was so awfully depicted that I had to buy a 3rd party product. At the price that I can not post the landing here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Sawyer Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Gerold, you’re a one-man flying geography lesson. Always great shots and I learn so much. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kudos goes to the scenery. It is really easy to get great views here. 1 hour ago, flyingleaf said: Great shots Gerold. Too bad about Jo. Thanks Karl. Not too bad, it is just no Orbx scenery here, but at least something flyable. 21 minutes ago, Captain Lars said: Great landscape pictures, Gerold. I think that atm, two renditions of Joburg are in the making. Too bad... Thank you Lars. What means "atm"...? after two microsoft flight simulators? If a better version came out too soon, I´d still check it. 17 minutes ago, Jack Sawyer said: Gerold, you’re a one-man flying geography lesson. Always great shots and I learn so much. Thanks. Oh thank you so much, Jack. This leg was part of our holiday preparation, even though it becomes more unprobable that we could use the knowledge this year...

Actually, the guy of South World Scenery stated in december that Johannesburg was about to launch at the end of january. Well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eberhard Haberkorn Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 At least King Shaka International has been released. Looking at the screenshots the details are amazing and very accurate. Cape Town International is also available by the same developer. At least dev's see the need of the African continent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we are fortunate enough to keep a relatively normal life (imagine India). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
