Best place to fly!

Postby cpthammond » Wed Jan 31, 2007 1:34 pm

Hi, im bored of flying in the same place over and over again and seeing as there are soo many different places to fly in the world if anyone could recommend a fun place to fly. I normally fly round waddington and it sometimes gets quite boring round there.

Thanks:)

Actually my description was rather vague, so - if you like floatplanes then have a look at Alaska, around Ketchikan (PAKT) or Juneau (PAJN) is good for starters. There are lots of little camps & airstrips that you can download for free aswell to make the place even better.

Cheers,

TSC.

I have to agree with TSC. Alaska is a great place to fly. Lots of mountains and challenging airstrips. For freeware scenery you could try this website or look at the site of Bush Flying Unlimited; http://www.avsim.com/bfu/.

Have fun,

Crash ;)

- Fly from Portland, Oregon, to Vancouver in Canada; it's just a short flight, but you'll see Mount St. Helens (or what's left of it), Mount Rainier, the city of Seattle spread out below you and all the beautiful islands on the last leg to Vancouver;

- Fly from San Carlos de Bariloche in Argentina to Puerto Montt in Chile; admire the beautiful Andes mountains and the impressive Chilean fjords;

- Fly from Mendoza, Argentina, to Santiago de Chile and see Mount Aconcagua (photo below)!

Go fly through Las Vegas. You wouldn't believe the scenery they have there.  :)

My suggestion, if you're bored, is to get the freeware mesh for Japan from this site and go there. It's simply one of the most beautiful places to simulfly over, with a lot of mountains, volcanoes and very complex airports to land in.

The only add-on I know of that does this and more is Ground Environment from Flight 1. Even the non-pro version makes your FS9 a place that'll make you forget the impossible-to-use FSX (but the pro, of course, is better).

Only drawback: it's a payware. But worth every cent. ;)

try an addon called koorbygen, it improves the autogen tenfold in north america. Somewhere (here on simv i think) there is a scenery package called the hole if you are looking for a callenge. it puts an airport at the bottom of the -15000 ft. hole in arkansas. the icao is KHOL once you get the scenery.

Although I don't have a "favorite place", I seem to spend more time flying the Carribean.  I guess I like the numerous islands and turquoise water.  But actaully my favorite thing is to wander the globe.
300,000 KM/S - Its not just a good idea, its the law.

I like the Rocky Mountain states and the West Coast. I have them in 38-mt res from FSGenesis. The rest of the US is mostly plains and the East Coast has nothing going for it at all. The Grand Canyon and Monument Valley in 9.8-mt res is a great place for quick, fun flights. The area around Babb, Montana is awesome for scenery. I have read in these pages that the Black Hills area in North or South Dakota is visually pleasing. I don't have that scenery, so I can't say.
