Stillwater Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 After adapting to p3dv5 (a very late follower...) I took one of my favourite airliners for a test: Aegean Airlines brand new 777 out of Larnaca. Cyprus the way that is might be seen regularly by @mikee . And the island in its entire size. Always confusing to me that it is split in 2 parts by a UN-guarded border. Karpathos in the evening light, ... ... PrecipitFX above, ... ... and Crete ahead. Here we are turning into Iraklio airport, ... ... always good to know the runway is slightly elevated on a rock platform. The wonderful landscape around Knossos. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knossos And here we are, ... ... ready for a Raki! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VH-KDK Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Beautiful images Gerold and I like your 777, more beautiful scenery too. Sadly ,Cyprus is another unholy mess that probably will never be solved in our lifetime. No Raki for me as we have found a great little bar that serves Watney's Red Barrel and cheese and onion crisps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Raki for me as we have found a great little bar that serves Watney's Red Barrel and cheese and onion crisps! I prefer the salt and vinegar versions... and yes, beer is usually more delightful than the cretan Raki (I hope no Cretan reads this?). The big point is the hospitality of the greek taverna owners, they are so inviting, friendly, just great. I want to return... 2 hours ago, Kev D said: Nice shots Gerold! Watney’s Red Barrel??!

Yes, I spent 5 minutes wondering if you really upgraded to P3D v5 and why the clouds don't look like they advertised them. Very nice pictures and a very nice plane, of course.
