machynlleth loop

[Craig.]

Is there any scenery avaliable, that accurately models the macloop in mid wales? its beautiful and also great for low level military flying. Accurate Roads would also be helpful as its good for navigating it correctly.
Thanks guys.

The "VFR Scenery" photogrpahic scenery package for Wales would be what you need, but it is payware.

[Craig.]

I am not worried if its payware, as long as its in there.
Thanks Igorski

[igorski]

Its photographic, so everything that was there when the photo was taken is there

[Craig.]

Okie doke, thank you, i am assuming the elevations will be pretty accurate?

[igorski]

It might come with a terrain mesh as well Im not sure, if not, just download any free one, or, if you want to pay, Lago's terramesh, but they the free one first. (The whole world is available  here from simv)

Also, it is VFR scenery, so its looks its best from around 3000 ft, Lower down the images dont look quite as sharp. If you want, I have some screenshots that i'llustrate this that i can jpeg and uplaod if you want too see.

[Craig.]

i would appreciate it.
Thanks:)

These are from the "Northern England" product, by the same company.

Low over a certain town in Lancashire.. you can just about see where I live (no its not the caravan park next to the top two resevoirs!)


Low over a valley in the Lakes


Over the coast (no idea where it is)


These were taken for me, to show of some of my repaints As I dont have any of the VFR packages.

Great shots, i will shop around this week and see what i can pick up.
Thanks:)

[igorski]

No probs, happy flying, try not to scare the wildlife!

I'll see if I can get some shots of the loop using VFR and Horizon UK VFR Terrain...

Thanks Charlie.

Need to find a chart now to make sure I go to the right place - I've only ever been once... I've found the entrance but taking the correct turns is a pain!

[igorski]

lol I was thinking you'd have been there for real.. but in which type?

[Craig.]

North entrance or south through the town?
from the north you go south following the A487, should be the only road there (assuming the roads are accurate) about halfway down it splits into two take the left option till you get to the town. then continue left around the A489 and onto the A470. Only drove it 3 or so times so might be wrong
