Why I fly #12: Orbital Mechanics

[llivaudais]

Greetings.

 

I've waited for years to have a machine that could record and edit game/flight videos and the time has finally arrived. Every time I saw someone adding to the FSX sticky "How do you keep FSX interesting?" I wanted to share my experiences but couldn't really except by maybe copying over one of the in-flight "recordings" (.fsr file). Now I have an alternative... videos fill the bill and, yes, I am having fun.

 

This "Why I fly #12: Orbital Mechanics" offering will probably always be one of my favorites and one of the more unusual.

 

Orbital route from N California area, across Nevada, Utah, Ariz, N Mexico and Texas. Visible are Lake Powell and reservoirs on the Colorado River near Page; the San Juan R., Sante Fe and the Valles Caldera; Albuquerque and White Sands far to the south with Austin TX somewhere ahead as the sequence ends.
