Rupert Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 I enjoyed the post by dispinall of London with ORBX and the new sim. so I went back and did some more flying with the older version for comparison. The biggest omission I noticed on the new one was they don't show the overhead tram people mover from the Isle of Dogs near O2. It is included in the FSX version. If my shots seem out of sequence, they are. I remembered things I should have looked for and went back to get them. (Remember to click on each shot, that's where I hide my version of a description.) Click on reply to finish the series. ;) Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert Posted October 2, 2020 Author Share Posted October 2, 2020 (edited) A few more shots: Again, looking at the 02 Dome you can see three of the pylons for the cable car people mover. I'm surprised they haven't made it into the new FS ORBX yet. One of my sorrows is that on our last trip to London, we didn't have time to ride the cable car. Molly however, was pleased we didn't have time. She is in all out shop till you drop mode! :eek::eek: Michael Edited October 2, 2020 by Rupert Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow.

Jim Robinson Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 (edited) Is the UK your backyard? Nope, I live in the Idaho Panhandle, Bonners Ferry to be exact. I consider everything from the Rockies westward "my backyard", lol. No sarcasm intended BTW! Be as wordy as you like, that's what I enjoy most about a screenshot thread! :) Edited October 3, 2020 by Jim Robinson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rupert Posted October 3, 2020 Author Share Posted October 3, 2020 Thanks to everyone! If you want lots of sights per mile traveled London has to rate pretty high! And unlike most of the larger cities in the world, it still has a ton of Green space! Michael Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow.

NMLW Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 London is nicely represented in your ORBX pics. Michael. :cool: :cool: I lived in London 1979-1981 and it looks like things have changed a bit since then. :) Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert Posted October 6, 2020 Author Share Posted October 6, 2020 London is nicely represented in your ORBX pics. Michael. :cool: :cool: I lived in London 1979-1981 and it looks like things have changed a bit since then. :) Wow!! Ain't that the truth!! New Lloyds, Olympic Stadium, O2 Dome, Docklands Railway, Thames Barrier, London Eye, The Shard, etc. They even repaired and reopened a ton of the canals off the Thames near the Docklands! Actually a lot of the material for the Olympic stadium and some other attractions were brought in by canal because the size of a lot of what they brought in couldn't have gotten there between all the buildings and other man made obstructions. A bonus to that, they didn't have to interrupt nearly as much traffic on the streets or roads either. If you watched the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympics, they flags came in by boat on canals, some of which had been closed for decades! Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow.
