carlosqr Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Hi @Captain Lars I found the flight I wanted to recommend you Three important elements here 01.- Time was around 5:30 pm 02.- Orbx weather 4 03.- Mountainous terrain 1 & 2 added mystic to the environment and adrenaline as the terrain is very mountainous I departed Kunming at 05:30 ( l like sunsets a lot) towards Panzhihua with not a single idea of how the airport looked like or where it was it exactly, or if I even could land my 777. I simply like to fly vfr towards the airport and discover all, so the flight was always uncertain, I mean I was checking constantly the map how close I was and trying to spot the airport through those clouds. Very exciting! Destination unknown. The views on the way changed in color depending from the angle taken Pictures can not express the sensation/feeling while flying in the area so I recommend that you have this pleasure and amaze yourself with the views, Despite we only have Global Base, trees, building and vector here, plus Orbx weather too, I felt very pleased with the look and experience I like how the clouds cover the terrain and the villages showed through it and of course I was hoping weather was kind with me on arrival So i realized I had to turn right here towards the bridge and phew! a clearer weather I said But guess. The airport was on the right in that bank of clouds! Do you see the red light on top of the mountain on your right. Bingo! I said, I must land it. So flew around to have an idea of how daring I was being I chose this pictures as it shows the least of the airport (as it is prohibited) but you can see below the belly how high the airport was! It was amazing to do this just by vfr and I landed, reached the end of the runway I though I would fall off the cliff but felt very satisfied with it all Hope you can do it yourself as the sensation a picture causes can't be compared to flying it. Another awesome flight is VQPR - ZULS - ZUNZ Cheers Carlos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Lars Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Carlos, these shots look absolutely stunning. I'm amazed to see you flying in that place which is so seldomly shown. Also I like that I inspired you to post this with my tour around China. After all you inspired me to do this tour, so it is a case of mutual inspiration. There are as many approaches to flight simming as there are flight simmers. Today they confirmed MSFS's release date and which airports are included in which version and hopefully I can post "The Beautiful Country" one fine day.

Agreed my friend I still have a lot of off the beaten track flights to post. It is good that we motivate each other to discover new horizons to make the flying more entertained by discovering new destinations I saw the video about FS2020, can't wait to get the deluxe premium version Cheers Carlos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean marc Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 all the shots are really nice with a great ambiance, a beautiful light, low clouds or fog between hills,... many thanks for this trip Carlos Yunnan is very interesting to visit, with old villages lost in the mountains and valleys, remote and kind population (the area is not too crowded and not too modern), rice fields and mountains, ... You can see buffles or donkeys in the culture fields, carrying people between villages,...and always wonderful temples and old wood houses,... here are 3 shots in the spirit of your third one, at ground level and what you can find in the mountains (pictures from last summer) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
