I am finding the photoreal mountain scenery unreal (well actually very real)..heres some snaps of a couple of flights from Ranger Creek (who remembers the Georendeer series from FS8 & 9?), which has been enhanced by OZx (freeware) and around Mt Rainier...plenty of sharp looking mountains here Matt..



Ranger Creek way below...

Naki,

Fantastic shots !!

Those PNW mountains are something else !!!, and some great little small strips being done
for this region.

Here's a couple of mine from a recent flight out of Scar Creek, the glaciers up here look incredible.

I used something with a tad more grunt, but the scenery still looks awesome even tho its going past a bit quicker. unsure.gif








Cheers thumbup1.gif

I havent flown the L-39 around PNW much as there isnt any ORBX airport with a long enough runway..but what the heck - I will give the Orbx Concrete airport a go (even Bonanzas struggle to get out of it)...managed to get in and out of Concrete Airport first pop (and hadn't flown the L-39 for a few weeks so should of been rusty)..anyway must of fluked it as I tried to land the L-39 at Wanaka with its lot longer runway soon afterwards and stuffed it up several times until I got it right.
