Orcas Island - KORS. Sky on fire.

[OldAirmail]

I started this flight and then shrank it down while waiting on the runway without pausing it.

When I went back to it, I was more than pleased.

DHC-3 at KORS near sunset, runway 34.

FTX Global, FTX Pacific Northwest, OpusFSI.

The first shot was accidently saved in GIF format. But it looks artistic, so I've included it.

















And then the sky was on fire

While in the area, NW, over Mayne, I switched to a Blackhawk helicopter.

No particular reason. It just looked like a helicopter kind of area.

Fantastic shots there OldAirmail, very atmospheric.

Thanks, Shadowcaster.

Those colors are different from what I normally use, and I just realized where they came from.

Having recently switched from Prepar3d V2.5 to V3, I have a number of old programs that I haven't tried to use with Prepar3d V3.

Last week I tried REX Essential Plus Overdrive to see if it'd work. All that it needed was to be redirected to the V3 location and it all worked.



I hadn't made any changes, or so I thought. But obviously Rex did.

If anyone likes the sunset skys in my pictures, you now know where they came from.

Nicely done on the set...

I use RES Essential Plus Overdrive with FSX/Acceleration when I get a chance to do a simulated flight...I need to Retire from Retirement to have some Free Time On My Hands...

See you are getting a goodly amount of use out of those DeHaviland of Canada DHC-3 "Otters"...Great aeroplane...is still my favourite aircraft to fly in the Real World...

Wonder what the "X Plane" DeHaviland of Canada DHC-3 "Otter" has different from the FSX Version...I know it came out sooner...

You took a break to go smoke what??? That's a pretty groovy psychedelic sky. Looks fun. The pics got a smile out of me. Groovy!

Far out man! As Jimi would have said "Purple haze, all in my brain. Lately things they don't seem the same. Actin' funny, but I don't know why. Excuse me while I kiss the sky."

Great Shots OAM!
