Flying over the Rockies

Postby cezeta » Tue Mar 31, 2015 1:25 am

Flyin over the West Kootenai Region, in the British Columbia (Canada), near the border with the States.

Yeah, Bush flying with a DC-3S.

Kootenair is the fictional comnpany that provides aerial transport over the Northern Rockies in Canada.

A flying piece of history.

Yeah, nice weather, smelling oil and hearing the sound of the powerful PW R-2000 Twin Wasp engines. Paradise? Not yet, but very close. :cheers:

Excellent!
Wonderful shots!

Typical of some of my daily, favourite Sim Flying areas...

....from Washington to Montana in the North; down to California, Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico in the South, and everything in between!

An amazing variation in scenery!

Paul.... :D ....!

screens #3 and #4 are such good lighting and angles that they could be photos. they're that good...the only thing that gives it away is the nav lights on during day ops. really nice job!

Amazing shots! Like Rick said the last two look very real. What addon is this? Because that VC doesn't look like the default DC-3, and so does the exterior

And the exterior textures are the superb metal textures of Gordon 'Gman5250' Madison. You can find this metal textures (blank without regs and logos) in SoH.
I only added the registration, logos and flags.

I hope that in the next and amazing cockpit they can make a few modifications in order to be used in the Super DC-3.

Manfred Jahn birds are a real must-have.

I'm still hoping it still on the go, Jan has removed all previous screens from the SOH , maybe its a clean up time for its introduction, I was going to ask today but got a little busy on it .

Shoulda guessed, I have that scenery lol. They did a great job on the PNW, Rockies, Alaska sceneries. Great flow and link ups. Too bad they couldn't do it for NZ
