Popular Post TigerTigerM Posted April 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 21, 2020 Freeware Avro 621 flying around the petite Orbx masterpiece by Tim Harris & Ken Hall, Catalina Island. I use the term 'petite' as the island is small, but a lot of attention to detail has gone into it. The keen eyed will notice the ubiquitous Lady in Red waiting under the entrance to the terminal, for a ride back to the mainland. I would also describe her as petite, but feisty. TTM (P3D v5) Heading East. What I am liking about v5 is that it seems to give more definition to distant objects, for example, the island & further on, mainland, under the Avro's wheels. Realistic scrub & rugged topography characterize Catalina Island. Note the walking paths, very nicely done. On approach. And there she is. Cast your eyes directly below the Catalina Island sign on the hangar on the RHS of the shot. Note the body language. Apparently I was late. After a long discussion she opted out, preferring to wait for a Learjet, or something covered in. Her initial concern was that the slipstream would mangle her coiffure. I offered her my WWI flying helmet & goggles, they were met with a look of horreuer. I asked her how she had got to the island & she was somewhat evasive. When I pressed her as to the reluctance to enjoy an open cockpit trip back to the mainland, there followed a long diatribe in broken French & Spanish from which I gleaned that she did not consider it lady-like to have to clamber over the side of the cockpit in a mini skirt. I offered to look the other way, count seagulls etc, but she would have none of that. With a demure peck on my stubbly cheek she wished me bon voyage & waved as I gallantly puttered off into the gathering dusk. Alone Silk scarf flapping behind in the breeze, like a 1 winged Albatross. 8 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eberhard Haberkorn Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I haven't even seen her, but remember her from preview screenshots of the airfield. I was looking the aircraft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Hall Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Fantastic set, think you might be right about the distant objects being defined better. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stillwater Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 At least the resolution of these shots is so good, we can see some details in the background. Now you just need to find a good parking lot! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VH-KDK Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Excellent views and I like the distant scenery having more detail. You really missed a chance with her in red as instead of looking the other way as she struggled into the cockpit I would have given her a hand...………...or two. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jotaedo Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 i think that by this time all of us here have tried to take the lady in red for a spin around the island, none of us has been successful, as far as I know. this forum is flooded with dates and rides requests to the the lady in red... I tried a couple of weeks ago in a humble Piper tomahawk, of course she said no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerTigerM Posted August 23, 2021 Author Share Posted August 23, 2021 Well this ia a bit strange . I didn't realize I went to P3D v5 in 4/20. At some subsequent stage I went back to v4.5, but recently moved again, to P3D v5.2HF1. The Avro in MSFS would be nice! The Lady In Red? We are currently not on speaking terms.
