meet me at Piz Gloria for Dinner, I'm Buyin' !
What is a Fizz Gloria , whatever
Piz Gloria is a Round rotating Resturant a top a 10,000 ft. Summit in Switzerland, with a Heli' Pad, only accessible by Heli' or a series of Cable Trolleys to gain access.
The name Piz Gloria originated in Ian Fleming's James Bond novel On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1963), wherein the hideout of the villain, Ernst Stavro Blofeld, is Piz Gloria, a mountain-top building containing an allergies investigation clinic. In the movie the location is implied as being near St Moritz where Romansh is still spoken, and "Piz" would be appropriate as the dialect name for peak. However the restaurant is actually located in the Bernese Oberland, where Romansh is not spoken and "piz" is not used.
Piz Gloria is the name of the revolving restaurant on the Schilthorn near Mürren in the Bernese Oberland, Switzerland.
Below are Photos of the PIZ Gloria that - well - didn't exactly come out right for FSX, believe it more for 2004, apparently.
tho the download said it was for FSX, few problems with it, mainly areas look like they got ALPHA'd and became see thru.
be nice to see this fixed or see ORBX or Aerosoft put something like this out, quite a challenge for Flight Simmers to land up there.
1st are my FSX Photos
then some 2004 photos I found on the net
then the Real "Piz Gloria" as it really appears.
