Not sure I should post but Flight1 USA Roads and DF 727

[doncarlos]

Not sure if this is an appropiate post but I purchased the F1 Roads and waited to install after the 727 oh boy...oh boy the replay of a landing at flaps 30 with the Roads is something special...not a hitch or glitch...I recommend it...

If not a proper post ...delete.

Hmm? Do you mean there was nothing wrong, and it looked remarkably nice?

Haha, I live in the UK and I can fly over a photograph taken by aircraft at 6500ft draped over a perfectly accurate radar-surveyed terrain mesh - I can find the field that my gliding club use, see the hangar and one of the aircraft on the apron, the access track, the line of trees and the field full of trailers, the dip in the middle of the runway, the culvert used as a lavatory when the far end of the runway is used as launch point, ect... I can put the Schwiezer at 2000ft above the runway and see all the hills and fields and roads exactly like I would do in real life, except for some reason the Schweiser flies about twice as fast as the gliders the club use...

Hi,

I live in Lima, and landing the 727 here, well I cannot see anything that even vaguely resembles real life.

The 72 is great, but the scenery, well I can dream of seeing even half the accuracy you get in your places.

Still loving the WHSIperjet! ( as spelt in the tutorial )

I do all of my test flights in MSFS out of Lima and Nasca. Mostly Nasca. For that very reason, the scenery isn't very dense there, especially Nasca, be nice if someone threw in the lines.

I have half my family in Peru!

Hello Paul,

Cool. Where are your family? I live in La Molina. I'm a Brit, but I've lived here for about 5 years. Love it. Great food!

I was hoping for the lines as well. It would be a great feature... are you listening Microsoft??? I am no scenery designer, but I imagine they would be easy to do.

Scenery for Peru is terrible. We have some of the highest airports and some of the most challenging approaches, yet there is almost no freeware available. There's a chap up north, in Ecuador, does some great work for his local airports, but here...nothing.

There's a Machu Picchu freeware, that i excitedly downloaded...only to find it's only a terrain mesh. I own the FSGenesis Andes mesh, so it didn't do anything for me.

Ohh well... here's dreaming of the future...

Downtown Lima ( I dont know where exactly ) Mira Flores (by the U.S. Embassy), Cusco (guys a scientist), Ica, and Arequipa areas. Pretty much all over the country.

When I first went down the Pan-American highway from Lima to Paracas, It was just sand and beaches pretty much the whole way on one side of the road. Desert.

I remember bothering the people who were selling the global terrain mesh about Machu Pichu, they never did a good job with it I think. I have family that own Haciendas around the actual site. Great country.

I have an uncle who somehow gets rides in the Mig-29s, some buddy in the Air Force I assume.

Paul,

It is a great country! The whole of the coast is a desert, one of the driest on earth (extension of Atacama) , then there's the Andes, and on the other side of them is one of the wettest places, the Amazon rainforest.

When I first came here I was amazed driving in the desert with all the mirages.

I enjoy it here a lot. I live like a king, as the cost of living is relativly cheap.

As for the Mig 29's...cool... it's all who you know. Well at least I still get to ride in the odd 727. A good real world plan to fly is LAB from La Paz, over Lake Titicaca, accross the andes and then down into Lima. I will look for a proper plan, but I know it overflies Juliaca and Ayacucho.

Anyway..if you're ever down here....

Cheers, Paul in hot and sunny Lima (it's beach time now)
