Scaring the tourists

After finding a small film on the exploits of the French airforce on youtube (look under Mirage), I could not resist grabbing one of their mean machines, and have a little fun scaring the tourists....

You will have recognised Kirk Olsson's brilliant Mirage F1, and in the background you see the Mont St Michel by Pascal Dumat (http://perso.orange.fr/p.dumat/)

I hope enjoy the pics, it certainly was fun flying!

Great scenery Le Mont Saint Michel!
Too bad I can't read French and I can't locate it following the link you gave.
Can you post the exact page from which the scenery can be downloaded?

That I can: http://perso.orange.fr/p.dumat/htm/smichel2.htm
and there is a patch as well: http://perso.orange.fr/p.dumat/htm/smpatch.htm

they have more excellent sceneries of that region here: http://perso.orange.fr/p.dumat/htm/scenes.htm, I like Quiberon and Belle Ile, nice little airfields on the Brittany coast, with some AI as well.
These are all for FS9, for FSX go to: http://perso.orange.fr/p.dumat/htm/fs10.htm

I hope this helps?

Those are really nice Jan Kees! I'm impressed.
Did you get a new graphics card or a new PC?

You images are way better that what I've seen from you in the past!

Yes, it is dirt, or low tide as was pointed out. If you come back six hours later, it's all water!

Now you have to go James-Bond-Octopussy-style on your side through the upper gap quarter way up the tower.  8-)
