Nice clear sky...

Death Valley is really nice scenery and these are really nice shots. Especially the last one. I haven't been there for awhile.

Really cool screenshots.
Arf, I need to fly a glider again. Photoscenery is actually quite cool for places without autogen, and Death Valley is just the perfect place for that !

The last shot is very peaceful and serene!


Very nice set, and effective use of the photo scenery. 8-)

After seeing these Shots yesterday, I spent an educational couple of hours "Google Earthing " Death Valley at ground level, and obtaining information via "Wikipedia", etc...

...as I do!...;)...!

Thanks!

Canyonlands scenery is pretty good for that too.  The DL for that, if you don't already have it, is at the Simviation DL FSX scenery DL section

Thanks, but a lot of the credit does have to go the the OZx guys.  They did a really great job on that scenery.

I happened to use Google Maps Street Viewof the town of Independence to get a real world view of the airport (2O7).  No buildings in the town, just "the rug". The airport buildings are there, but let's just say the hangers in FSX are a couple of steps up from the real world version.  :P

Thanks!  Sometimes, a glider is just the right thing to so. :)
