Attention All Flight Simmers

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.

Paul,
Am I missing something here? I thought the rules of proper etiquette say He who invites - pays. I think JR is going to have a whole lot of dishes to wash.



But never fear JR I called in some help for ya...




No need to thank me Jet, the fabulous, expensive dinner will be quite enough.

Hawkeye

Oh, by the way JR, I talked to the manager and she said your dishwashing expertise had better meet her expectations or..... I won't go into what she said about that but if you want to talk to her yourself and tell her how it is I've enclosed her picture. Good luck!!!

Wasn't Jet into some BIG money some times ago
Maybe thats why he invitates us! Still awaiting some more information, and are we going to be flown in with a Helo

Where is Jet? I wonder if the manager scared him off? Or maybe it was the 26,000 plates + 26,000 glasses + 26,000 forks + 26,000 knives + 26,000 spoons he would have to wash that scared him?

Jettt Ranger got a case of Diaherra, had to stay at home, ya'll go without me, tell me what fun ya had

Want us to bring you back anything? Steak & Lobster, Rack of Lamb,..... Butt Plug for your diaherra?

Ahhhhh Yes, I'm feeling much better now,,,, I was under Strict Doctors orders, to get sum Bed Rest

That's why I couldn't make it

Rest assured, I'm in Good hands

I'm in my Chalet, here in Monte Carlo getting proper Bed Rest, well here, see for yourself,, little Video for all you Flight Simmer Buddies !
