One time around the Glacier in PFJ: 4Z7 - Granduc Mine - Stewart, CZST [25]

[moonman]

This was my first attempt using Plan-G... not perfect yet... have to read into the manual more detailed... but overall: For the beginning it worked out fine - at least i think so .

I decided to go to the PFJ area again and take some flights around Salmon Glacier...

The first flight took place in the morning hours, the second one just some time later - and - as You will see: With another aircraft.

Weather was a bit cranky but not unfriendly, so i gave it a try... and: It´s still a simulation isn´t it...

Well...: Actually after that flight i once more was not sure about this!

Because i was really, really amazed about the detail this scenery offers - the terraintextures look great and then the Mesh-Detail - it´s just AMAZING - Someone can really and almost feel the ground passing by there below...

I tried to capture that within this series of pictures here...

If You like to follow that route as well, You can take a look at the "map" that i put in here at the very end.

I am really not certain if i would take this tour the way i was flying it, if i was a real pilot though... but here in ORBX´s PFJ - ... it was just to tempting .

And: These great repaints used here are both from hawker1693, available at the OZx-site!

Please enjoy!!

All starting...

... Up towards Salmon Glacier! Just look - for instance - at the detailed course of "the river" ...
