Bankstown to Albury

Some pictures from FSX with FTX Blue installed...


Departing Bankstown runway 11 Centre


The coast looking North towards Broken Bay


And South towards Manly and the Sydney Heads


Is that really a landing strip?


Okay, there had to be a gratuitous bridge shot! LOL!


Proceding South along the Victor 1 VFR Route, past Bondi Beach


Lets head inland, towards the Blue Mountains..

When I saw this lake in 2006, it was just 15% full!

This time last year that lake was down to 8% capacity , you may recall the trees standing in what looked like a puddle or the boat ramps going off to oblivion and the Murray looked the Avon river that runs thru Christchurch !

my approach , over Wodonga , brought me over the Lake Hume dam , that was a sorry site , about were you are now is were I stayed , incidently ,was the DC-2 parked on the ramp when you were there .

Good stuff! I just flew from Bathurst to Kingsford over the Blue Mountains last week. Once i downloaded voz fsx i got a couple of road maps and have been discovering Aussie. There are some interesting flights you can do over there.

OK Stop the bus!
What does VOZ FX NOT do, that this one does???

Even though I only run the fs2004 freeware VOZ, I have to agree that the development team did a fantastic job on Albury, , probably my favourite area in Australia to fly, especially on an Autumn evening with low cloud...

I don't know, but if someone with VOZ FX wants to post screenies from a similar flight, we might be instructed...

I didn't notice any frame rate drop (not that I checked!)

It's also not a tiny keyhole scenery... (although I agree, if RealNZ covered a similar acreage, there'd be no contest! )
