This is a wonderful place:)

I have to say though, that it is just the kind of community that to me cries out for a bit of snow and guess what ? The Sofly gods obliged :)

Cheers

Pete

 

PS-  there is a real treat , a absolute little gem hidden  , that will bring a smile to your face.  Just think the BGees "Staying alive" 

 

So here we go ....

It ain't pretty but it works . Folks around here rate practicality above all else. If I remember correctly, I think the proper name for it is a "Yagi"

BTW - this is old school, before folks had satellite TV:). Snow wasn't just something that fell from the sky.  You could make it yourself on your TV if

the "Yagi" got blown about in the wind.

Probably all 3 of the "wheels" don't come close to the cost of the DA62 :rolleyes:

Now this is the absolute "bestest" part of all. You gotta go see this dude .  He is obviously bored silly waiting for customers , so why not, lets practice my 

dance moves. Watching it in the sim brought a huge grin ..... It made my day !

Nice set of shots, Pete. I guess the dancing dude must be a built in MSFS guy, I spotted him at KSAN and that was in LVFR's airport, so unless gound handling staff the world over are now going through the Michael Jackson Memorial Aviation Academy someone at Asobo has a good sense of humour (or a disco fetish). Be nice to spot him doing his thing with the elephants at Heathrow - I might try and set that up <grin>

That Redmond outfit definitely has a checkmate on snow but their cement aggregate looks a bit chunky.

1950's , early 60's style .... big rocks, little cement. Carry over from the shoe industry I expect B)

What a great little exploration and 'treasure' hunt Pete. Concrete is an Orbx gem for sure, and you showed that off well here. 

Thanks very much Landon

Appreciate it!

See you:)

Wonderful tour of my favorite airport, both virtual and real.

Now that would be fun Rob

It looks like a really neat place in the sim. IRL would be fantastic!

Cheers

Elephants ??? :D

 

He would fit right in. I'll bet his moves with the rhythm of the "Swaying trunks" would be something to see.

Hey, maybe a good name for their group

 

"MSFS dude does moves with the "Swaying trunks"" B) 

 

Cheers Andy and thanks!

All the best

Pete
