peer01 Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 (edited) I have several beautiful South-African repaints in my hanger, and didn't install any South African scenery on this computer so far. On my last PC's I had lots of SA sceneries, so it was time to look for some airports. I installed the airports of Cape-Town (including the iconic "Table Mountain") Bisho and Lanseria. Next step will be mesh, landclass and ground textures for the area's. Here's the first try-out: a take-off from Cape-Town Intl. FSX Gold + Acceleration Freeware Avro York Freeware Cape-Town Intl. airport and the "Table-Mountain" Freeware Drzewiecki grass textures Freeware HDE-V2 clouds Please click on the pics for a better view: Thanks very much for looking! Greetz!! :) Edited February 3, 2020 by peer01 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poko Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Beautiful shots once again Jan! And as a bonus I don't have to rush to the library as I already have that bird now.:pilot: The main gear looks pretty massive on this bird don't you think? I hope they don't fall off and land on my roof! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peer01 Posted February 3, 2020 Author Share Posted February 3, 2020 (edited) Thanks Michael and Gary :):) Michael, I think all of our credit cards melted several times because of buying stunning Orbx sceneries..... Gary: no worries, my roof is much more popular when things fall of planes....:rolleyes::eek: Oh, and the main gear WAS very massive, was the Lancaster gear. The whole wing section btw. The Yorks were made of surplus WW2 plane parts. Edited February 3, 2020 by peer01 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flightsimg Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 That surely was a great experience to fly in those areas! On the other hand, as you seem avoiding any water wheel-landing, wonder whether you wouldn't now land a pax plane amidst the wild game of Africa! :):) 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.

peer01 Posted February 3, 2020 Author Share Posted February 3, 2020 Flying with a von Peerhoven is still a life-changing experience. ;) I'm VERY afraid of big spiders, so no "African Games" for me. :eek::eek: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 Great looking aircraft and scenery, Your Hynuss! ;) Looks like the Steward is getting ready to serve lunch to Lyndon B. Johnson (window seat)...and isn't that Uncle Adolph sitting in the rear seat?? Maybe my eyes are going bad!:confused: Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!

NMLW Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 I like your South African Avro York and the pics. of it Jan. The Capetown scenery looks very good and Tabel Top displays well! :cool: :cool: :cool: Charlie, I noticed the same two passengers. When you fly with a von Peerhoven you'll see some shady underworld types. Looks like the attendant shoved his thumb into Lyndon's grub. :p Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peer01 Posted February 4, 2020 Author Share Posted February 4, 2020 Now I have to get rid of the usual default FSX African ground textures, the freeware airports I tried are nice. This is Bisho: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
