That's what's called a "religious experience".

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!...;)...!

The fascinating thing about Flight Sims!

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. :)
