SOG Pilot Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Today's flight takes us from KTIW through a canyon to Ranger Creek (21W) in our Piper Cherokee. Ranger Creek is the highest airport in Washington State. I flew the exact same course, altitude, and airspeed in the simulator Piper Cherokee using Orbx TruEarth Washington HD and then flew it in a real-world Piper Cherokee. The simulator flight proved invaluable for flight planning purposes, especially when navigating through this narrow canyon with terrain towering above the airplane on either side. The video ends with a landing and takeoff at Ranger Creek, runway 33. Winds at the time were gusting 20 knots. The videos are uniquely stitched together to show the amazing graphic quality of TruEarth HD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Dow Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Grab yourself Chaseplane or Ezydock to give your sim videos some of the same feeling that you see in the real world footage i.e. the shaking of the view due to air currents and turbulence. And of course TrackIR if you don't have it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to keep it set there for interaction with the instrument panel. i will look into the add-ons you mentioned. Also, next time I will probably add some mild turbulence to user controlled weather.
