GroovyMotion Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Today I got the delivery of my first Norontair Twotter so I had to take it for a spin! Decided to take off from McBride, where I left my RCAF skis/wheels. I flew to Valemount while making a detour to show my passengers Mount Robson, which culminates at 12972fts and is the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies (also the most prominent peak in all of the US/Can Rockies). Enjoy! Taking off from McBride Airport Yikes! This is almost not VFR conditions! Nice mountains! Quite a nice livery, eh? Approaching Mount Robson with it's top in the clouds What a grand view! Turned around in order to face the mountain Nope...too speet to land there! Final approach into Valemount Nice smooth touchdown! The passengers even applauded for my first landing with Norontair!

moonman Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Stunning and crisp shots from this mountainious region Jean-Francois! Really great! One question though: Is this the stock LOD of 4.5 in Your fsx.cfg? Because the crispness and detail of mesh looks really amazing! In aynways though again saying: Superb shots!

Really great! One question though: Is this the stock LOD of 4.5 in Your fsx.cfg? Because the crispness and detail of mesh looks really amazing! In aynways though again saying: Superb shots! Hey moonman, nope I set the LOD@ 5.5 and also SweetFX advanced settings of LumaSharpen, that really helps! Really great shots, love the scenery, I will make sure I take a Twotter flight following your route If you want a longer route I suggest starting from Sherman Meadows (CFK7) to McBride (CAV4) and then Valemount...that way you go through 2 chain of mountains and then the valley Who said snow shots were boring? These are superb, and you're right - the livery is very nice. Yup! I thought so too until I started flying in that area very nice shots ! Thanks! Great shots, I love that approach into Valemount. Thanks! It was a steep approach but there is no controller/tower to watch me drop down quite fast! Very nice set Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orbxtreme Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 This is an exquisite set, love it all. Superb definition and texture. Just great. I shall add. If I may, to the highest mountain infos, outside of the Rockies, Mount Logan in Canada at 5959 meters and Mount McKinley in Alaska at 6194 meters. A nice weekend excursion...
