Stillwater Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I had to check if I could find some detail of the Great Barrier Reef in Auv2. So I took off from Hamilton, ... ... headed eastwards over Hill Inlet and Whitehaven Beach... ... to the outer reef. On this GPS position there should be... ... Heart Reef, as in this photo. But I could not identify it in the sim. Has someone else been more successful? However, I went back to Lindeman Island for a plane change... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper31 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Some nice exploration Gerold. Maybe a helo might help you conduct a more thorough search for that reef Landon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullfox Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Interesting airplane. I like the way the coral displays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bernd1151 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Looks somewhat ok, Gerold, but not more, if you allow me to say this. I just did a similar flight, whithout having seen yours first. So maybe you want to have a look: Out of Cairns. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still love the variation of airplanes in the old sim - years of constant development and sales pay off. And the impression in AUv2 also is quite satisfying. I just do not have to install and update frequently... 6 hours ago, bernd1151 said: Looks somewhat ok, Gerold, but not more, if you allow me to say this.

As written just above, I see pros and cons, and I am still fine with what I encounter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Heaton Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 (edited) To me - these shots of Longreach mean more than - probably - even more than the rest of the great update because I have been waiting for a decent Longreach airport on any sim for years - and this was a great surprise I used to live in this outback town responsible for the commercial development of the area and I was one of the originators of the concept of this museum.

Now everyone can see two posts with just one click! And I am sure we all will enjoy your shots & background, like I did! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not remember which sim(s) you are using. And I wonder how it looks here in MSFS... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
