Stillwater Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 I started in May and flew over Norway to Alaska, then down the American West coast to Panama, across Cuba to the Caribbean and back to Europe. Now is the day to return home. From Amsterdam... ... climbing out over the Amstelveen Bosbaan. I suspect this is used for rowing, but we can imagine another use, can´t we? Amsterdam Centraal. Nice details, even without a TE scenery. Muiden. When I was in school we lay there with a sailboat, to visit the city nearby. Flevoland. One of the big landfills in the Ijsselmeer. And here we nearly reach my home turf. Osnabrück, with its interesting railway crossing. Porta Westfalica International Airport... ... and the Porta itself, where the Weser river crosses the mountain ridge. Hanover city... ... and the area where I type these lines. Into final of the 27L (my favourite runway). Flying & screenshotting without pause is a risk. Causing a bad angle of attack here... ... but the sim is tolerant, so I get the Caravan parked. At home. Where to head next? 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sniper31 Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 It has indeed, as Wayne said first, been a pleasure to follow your flight narrative these past months and to see all the varied locations and screenshots. Of course, the aircraft selection had a nicely chosen variety to! This latest set was nicely put together and narrated yet again, and gives us all some insight to your familiar area. Looking forward to your next extended adventure! Cheers! Landon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a landmark you actually notice when passing through it by train. Very roughly the area where the Germans beat the Romans. Great shots! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you John. Do you remember the "Canyon turn" excercise in FSX? Would surely be useful to practise it before touring the Netherlands.

I plan to go southeast, but I have to manipulate my navigation program: It always plans routes over Belarus, Ukraine and Afghanistan. The safe part of the world is getting smaller (remark: by chance some influence of the same force at all these places). 23 hours ago, Captain Lars said: This is a landmark you actually notice when passing through it by train.

wain71 Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 @Stillwater also I have felt inspired by your recent flights / tour to start a tour in MSFS to all the airports and Landmark areas that I have purchased through Orbx.....I expect it will take a while and there may well be more added as I go along, but thanks Gerold for igniting a spark of enthusiasm in me with your posts....however I am not going to set a time / date and the plan is to have fun and virtually at least tour different parts of the globe... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne, I am happy to spread inspiration!

Unfortunately I do not understand your question: Do you just ask for the lenghth of this final leg (about one hour), or for the total tour (6 months with long interruptions), or for the flight time in total (I can´t tell you, because I do not monitor it)? 6 hours ago, TerribleT said: Thank you for showing your home area and surrounding countryside in such a delightful way!
