flightsimg Posted February 1, 2019 Author Share Posted February 1, 2019 Heuu! Of course not Peer! :):) I don't see any swath of water in the surrounding. Barely somewhat water in that ditch behind the plane… :):):) Gérard Guichard, Dijon, Burgundy, France. i5 Intel processor, 4 Go of Ram, Nvidia GeForce 920MX, DirectX 12.0, and FSX Gold Edition with SP1, SP2.

Downwind66 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Very nice pics, Jan, of what appears to be a very well built aircraft! Rick :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAVIDSTRAKA Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 It's all in the sim David! :) This is true. I'm looking at sprucing up my scenery. I've done a lot of research into ORBX Global Base. I'm seriously considering it. I think it would make my screen shots "pop" a bit more.

Downwind66 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Sorry Gerard, I complemented Jan on his pics, but left you out there, your thread and it was an interesting opening shot of this aircraft!

peer01 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 David: Orbx brings without any doubts perfect sceneries, I enjoy them VERY much! But if you make flights in jets above 20.000 ft. it doesn't matter too much. There are many freeware airports available that mix very well with the Orbx sceneries, or just with FSX. I just installed St. Petersburg in Russia and the airport in the pics above is a freeware demo from Drzewiecki. Here's a site with freeware sceneries all over the world: http://www.freewarescenery.com/fsx.html [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalizzi Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 back to the main topic, I honestly thought that Jan was the thread starter of this when I took the first glance at the title.

flightsimg Posted February 2, 2019 Author Share Posted February 2, 2019 Pfuuuuh! What a post backlog! :p:p Rick: thanks for the compliment Jan: as far as Drzewiecki freewares for the area of Moscow are concerned, they didn't backup my default FSX sceneries :( The link you quote is good (and they have also FSX freewares) kalizzi: "But then the crashed DB-3 looked too intact for that" absolutely not! A German infantery division nearly got the plane on their head. And they just had enough time to photograph the scenery before everything exploded! LOL Larry: thanks!
