Beyond bush flying (at ground level)

Postby Mistro » Thu Jun 10, 2010 11:42 am

I recently downloaded the FTX PNW demo and was in awe at the scenery so much so that I downloaded the Lexus and took a drive after a long flight to really immerse myself in it until I came to a bridge that wasn't solid. But for the time that I drove it was a great experience seeing the mountains in the distance as I drove through tree lined streets. Talk about low and slow. Just wanted to share.

Does anyone else have a driving experience or know some good places to just take a scenic drive from the airport and back?

Funny experience. You're clearly not the only one to enjoy this kind of sight-seeing in FS. Back in my FS9 days, I did the same thing on the roads next to Concret Mun. I had installed Holger Sandmann's North Cascade scenery, that was kind of a "preview" (or Alpha version) of PNW.

The best addon for FS - it's a scenery package, I think it's around 50 bucks.  ;)
