MS2020 

Enhanced NZ Mesh

 

 

 You know how it is.  The ticket says "early" but there's always someone whose late, so we wait :)

 Finally, off we go :D

Glaciers are not fast , but they sure do a good job of grinding things down B)

Brenda, our pilot says she never tires of flying up here. I can certainly see why

Hate to burst everyone's bubble, but the vision of pure white pristine snow covered glaciers is a bit of an illusion
In my experience , this is much more the norm ....1fJrkUK.jpg

 

 

So we're lucky today.  A chance for a walkabout.:D

Everyone out....
Careful don't slip .... It's a lot harder than it looks if you fall.

And from Brenda and the rest of our little gang. 
Thanks for coming along.  If you're like me, maybe your secret wish to come
here in real life one day will happen :)

 

Hope you enjoyed it 
Cheers

Fantastic shots Pete, and indeed more detailed than the same flight I did some months ago in p3d.

That is a good looking mesh - reminds me of FTX NZ South.  Lovely colors on the helo.

It is really well done. When you first use it , it is very subtle , but it very rapidly grows on you and you realize that it makes a very big difference in how 

the scenery looks.  I hope the concept really takes off :)

 

I'm pleased you enjoyed it!

See you

Pete

Excellent shots of the mountains Pete!!!!!!!!!!!  Wish they would do the Rocky Mountains in the U.S.

 

Thanks John 

You and me both :)

 

But the mountains (different ranges and names ) go from all the way from South America up  to Alaska.

Let's think big my friend! The possibility to spend our lifetime just Mountain flying in many different countries awaits!

Now we just need to get Orbx on board with our clever "plan" :D

 

It will simply be a bit of awesome!!!!!!!!

Cheers
