lifejogger Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I thought I would see how my home town looks in the flight sim. Part 1 of 2 Taking off from the local airport. (Click to enlarge) Heading north to check out the lakes. Flying west of town we find lots of hills, forests, meadows, streams and small lakes. Great area for picnics and hiking. Flying east we see the town. The flight sim did pretty good job on the lay out of the town. The tall building you see is really there.

ColR1948 Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I think most simmers try to find their house and fly over it. Col. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since this is not photo real scenery the best I could do is fly over the general area. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAVIDSTRAKA Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Great shots of the home town area! I did that once where my Florida house is. Just trees and fields. I need to do this at my “base†location and see what I can pull off.

azzaro Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 I believe the next incarnation of Flight Simulator will be a little more faithful. maybe too faithful. :eek::confused: Wonder how much money can be made in obscuring sensitive data from the two petabytes they're using? -- Bob [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] i7-7700 3.6GHz / GTX1660 6GB / 32GB RAM / 49" Samsung CHG90 / WIN10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downwind66 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 John - Nice presentation, scenery and aircraft! I looked, but maybe, I missed it, where is your home town? Appears to be a nice laid back community! Thanks for sharing! Rick :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifejogger Posted December 4, 2019 Author Share Posted December 4, 2019 Hi Rick, thanks for the comments. I did not say where my home town is but if you google "The Price Tower" You will find out. I lived there for 40 years until the company I worked for transferred me to Texas. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMLW Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Nice flight and very nicely displayed John. The lakes around Bartlesville are pretty well represented. I've been through Bartlesville several times over the years. My wife is from Tulsa so I've spent some time around OK. :cool: :cool: :cool: :) Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifejogger Posted December 4, 2019 Author Share Posted December 4, 2019 Thanks Larry. That area of Oklahoma is called green country and is very pretty. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
