Popular Post Jack Sawyer Posted August 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 19, 2022 MSFS Orbx's South America Mesh MilViz's C310 I decided to have a look and I was astonished by what I saw. The beauty here is amazing. I wanted to fly along the Amazon River for a little so I made an out and back from SBEG Manaus Eduardo Gomes Intl. What a relaxing and amazing area. Getting some altitude so I could spot the Amazon. Nope, ain't gonna do it. Not here either. I'm amazed at how wide this river is! Heading back. Flying past to catch the ILS at runway 11.

ikbenik Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Fine shots Jack...but for looking and hunting Piranhas, and flying a yellow bird, I expected you to dive under the bridges or at least very close to the water... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you sir. I was tempted but people may get tired of my dopey antics. I really wanted to see the Amazon and just how huge it is, and it's huge. I wonder if sometime I might fly a 737 in heading mode from the headwaters to the end of it. It might take 7 or 8 hours? Dunno. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caluma65 Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Great set of shots Jack. A friend of mine has his own Estate Agents business and he has a display tank with red-bellied piranhas in it in his office. Man are they mean looking things. Cheers, Calum 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VH-KDK Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Beautiful images Jack. It is hard to imagine the ammount of water that flows down the Amazon. I will have to invest in the SA mesh somewhen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andiflyit Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Very nice shots Jack and a nice paint of the C310. MSFS is of course very good to explore such large areas using the "on the fly" scenery. Thank you for the recommendation "Simple Traffic", I've installed it and it's very good. Nice paints and a lot of aircraft everywhere and no fps hit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s much better now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any recommendations for airports in Patagonia? Well I like a short trip at the very tip of SA, from Ushuaia SAWH to Puntarenas SCBI. There are payware for these two, at a reasonable price and quality is good, not Orbx, Pyreegue nor Northen Sky but good Going up there is Puerto Natales SCNT and El Calafate SWAC But I like to do this one going over the montains for more scenic shots besides you have Torres del Pine on the way which is great These payware are from the same developer Upper the Patagonia you can visit O'Higgins area, I would say it is increadibly beautiful, use as many weather changes as possible each one brings awsome atmospherics These is a freeware you can find in flightsim.to Leaving the Patagonia on the north another nice area is going from Puerto Montt SCTE to Bariloche SAZS Both payware by the same developer Actually any place you go in Chile is amazing, the desert in the north, the cities of Santiago and Concepción, all those lakes, glaciers and mountains, the huge cost It is a breathtaking country. You'll be flying between Chile and Argentina in most of these above I am not posting shots so you get amazed yourself when discovering the areas. They are currently in winter in case you fly with live weather. All seasons here are very enjoyable, even a weather such as blizzard heavy Happy flights Cheers Carlos Edited August 21, 2022 by carlosqr 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
