/images/notams/notams19/neil0410/neil0410.jpgA Lake District Safari for X-Plane 11 only. I was inspired to show people the Lake District by the bookswritten by Alfred Wainwright who spent most of his life up here andwrote seven definitive walking guides, but even AW would have lovedflying over the mountains in a microlight! In fact to use his ownwords (not word for word) "If when I go to Heaven I hope it¡¦s like theLake District, wonderful! Flapping your wings around Great Gable!Wonderful!" AW. Lake District Safari is where we get to spend another magical sixdays exploring the mountains, valleys and lakes of the English LakeDistrict flying from prepared temporary fields in the Aerolite. Learnabout the history and current events of the places we visit. Anexcellent introduction both for people who would like to learn moreabout the area, people who would like to plot their next fell walk orpeople who just like to dream and fly over jaw dropping scenery. We begin this volume from a grass strip near Haweswater, fly overan original Roman Road, or maybe even see the remains of Romancivilisation from over 2000 years ago. Fly over England's highestmountain and be amazed by the clarity of the ortho scenery, where youcan even see the shadows on the rocks on the sides of themountains. At 18X magnification it is some of the best Ortho sceneryavailable for free. /images/notams/notams19/neil0410/lake-district-safari-1.jpgAbout Ortho SceneryAs I said earlier the files have been specifically created @ 18magnification for low level visual flight and are ideal for use by theAerolite 103. Two of the file sizes (3) are large but all three can be suppliedon a USB stick if required. A €/$ 25 deposit will be required and€/$21 (€4 p+p) will be refunded on return of the stick. If you would like the scenery at 19 magnification @ just over 200GB this can only be supplied on USB. The free background scenery is available from the FlightSim.Comfile library either as a regular browser download or viatorrents. These are the three scenery files: Part 1: Lake-District.zip Part 2: Lake-District-2-4-4.zip Part 3: overlay.zip To obtain the scenery on USB stick contact the author:neil.birch@ntlworld.com /images/notams/notams19/neil0410/lake-district-safari-2.jpgThe TourThe tour package includes additional scenery of airfields, a fullset of flight plans and an extensive guidebook in the form of a PDFfile.
