Daily challenge @ Siletz Bay Airport- Is this the real S45 or Orbx S45?

[Skyroamer]

Hi everyone,

Is this the real thing or the sim?

I was out on a family beach trip with the kids yesterday and having bought S45 recently, I just had to stop and see it in person! It was surreal feeling that I had been there before! From several miles away while driving on HWY 101, I was already recognizing the features: the bay, the golf course, etc. I did not need directions to find the place! Once in the parking lot the accuracy is just amazing!

So, did I take this picture in FSX or in the real world?

I reckon its from the sim looking at the clouds but could be wrong.

The clouds look indeed strange, but the houses and the rest of the forground looks pretty real...

Would it be cheating if I answered?

Nice to see the place hasn't changed. I took my reference pics in 2010, but it looks exactly the same as what I remember.

The puddles and the wet tarmac make it real for me.

PS: very atmospheric shot by the way!

[Dave Meson]

It is real for me.

Real, because of the water on the ground. I doubt FSX could render that as real as it shows

[Skyroamer]

As real as it gets for sure!

Took me awhile to realize it's the real deal, right? lol

Right, it is the real thing! I love your home base airport (KRDD). I have amazing memories of some of my best flights with Redding either as a destination, or a refueling stop on my way to Palo Alto from Portland, Oregon. They have great chinese food in the terminal!

Cheers
