JohnnyJohnJohn Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Here we have another amazing voyage in the wonderful new Microsoft Flight Simulator by Asobo. Today's journey, we are hunting down famous landmarks in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Flying a Cessna 152 Aerobat in honor of Doug Masters from the first movie of Iron Eagle, where we learned his character was hoping to be accepted into the Air Force Academy which is located in this very city we are flying in. We are also looking for another very famous, yet very supposed "Top Secret" location of the elusive inside Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Base, which was used in the movie Stargate, with Kurt Russell and James Spader. A series was later released on the very same movie, but with different actors than the ones who portrayed their roles in the film version. On the runway, Runway 17 at Colorado Springs airport Taking off Nice early morning wake up calls for this community below; aircraft zooming past overhead! Heading out across Colorado Springs Turning towards the direction and heading towards the USAF Academy Airfield, KAAF Approaching the Academy Air Field The threshold of the traffic pattern at the airfield Falcon Stadium Flying over Eisenhower Golf Course Flying over the Air Force Academy's athletic fields Continued Next Post: Thermaltake Ryzen Gen 9 3900x 12 cores, 4.6 ghz 32 gig of Ram, Liquid Cooled Everything.

adamb Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 (edited) Sensational set of images once again John! :) You probably know there is another update today for MSFS, I think it's around 100+gb. Do you have the feeling you don't need REX or Orbx much anymore or is it just me? I'm not even that excited about payware aircraft any more. :D Edited September 17, 2020 by adamb [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyJohnJohn Posted September 17, 2020 Author Share Posted September 17, 2020 I hear you Adam! I have been saying no more REX from Day one; and I agree with the aircraft to a degree. Only if a real select few ever get made that I really like. I even fly the Dreamliner tonight! Thermaltake Ryzen Gen 9 3900x 12 cores, 4.6 ghz 32 gig of Ram, Liquid Cooled Everything.

plainsman Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Interesting shots John! It is interesting to see the detail in these shots vs. some i flew over the northern Urals. Much of that was obviously deliberately blurred out.
