Popular Post VH-KDK Posted August 16, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 16, 2022 Orbx Content: Melbourne Scenery Pack - Partner product: So Fly WPP. A little flight up the Yarra RIver in Melbourne to see what I can find. 1. The West Gate Bridge. Too easy with it's large middle spans but the smaller ones are a bit more of a challenge as I found out. Power lines both sides but there were no twanging sounds as I avoided them and the pylon. On a more serious note, if you look in front of the prop spinner you can see the memorial to the 35 workers who lost their lives in 1970,when a section of the bridge collapsed during it's construction. It remains Australia's worst work place accident. West Gate Bridge - Wikipedia 2. A view of the bridge and the lower reaches of the Yarra River. 3. Approaching the Bolte Bridge with the magnificent Melbourne skyline in the background. 4. Too much clutter under the smaller spans so I take the easy option. Bolte Bridge - Wikipedia 5. Approaching Queen Street Bridge and behind it the Sandridge Bridge which are both a little too low to get under. 6. The Southbank Footbridge ended with wet feet so time to try again. 7. The Princes Bridge was quite easy at the second attempt after not getting the screen shot on the first pass. Princes Bridge - Wikipedia 8. The Southbank Footbridge, finally on my fourth attempt. 9. I can't remember how I ended up floating in the Yarra River but I was able to drive under the Sandridge Bridge so I will score half a point for that. Sandridge Bridge - Wikipedia Fascinating to see all the places I know in such beautiful detail. The Melbourne Scenery pack is well worth every cent for the bridges alone! 10 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulb Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 A great and interesting set Martyn. The scenery looks amazing! Queen Street Bridge looks very low. Does it limit boat travel in real life? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gumbypickett Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Great stuff. The Crown Casino is just there KDK. Take a gamble and see what the odds of getting under the Sandridge Bridge next time are. BTW I invested in that casino, see if you can get back my $350. cheers Gumby 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stillwater Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Well done Jack, but how did you hack Martyn‘s account? BTW, great flight action and narration, as well as a true showcase of both scenery and city. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Sawyer Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 The Southbank Footbridge shot is absolutely outstanding. They're all really well done Martyn, nice bridge work here, you have the Jack stamp of approval 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebear Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 (edited) Great shots, Jack, errrh, I mean Martyn. In your last shot you take your registration a little bit to literally go "un-der" the bridge. Edited August 16, 2022 by Bluebear 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stillwater Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 I forgot to mention: Nice plane "number", ATC should have already guessed what they had to expect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikbenik Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 As rival to Jack with 'yellow birds under bridges' you did a fine job...until (in last shot) you was thinking flying a 'flyboat a la Goose'...Yes, some bridges have their roads so close to the water that even in a small boat you have to hold your head down.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bernd1151 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Great shots, Martyn. I guess that Jack would have been tempted to do this exercise inverted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
