Best places to fly

[BFMF]

..as everyone (and his dog) knows my favourite area is the Pacific coast from Santa Rosa, through San Francisco, and down to Los Angeles...
A variation of all sorts of scenery within a few miles of the coast!
Enhanced with California Scenery mesh, latest Autogen objects, latest trees, latest ground textures, water effects, add-on scenery, etc, and all my airfields in Cal populated with LAGO's Flight Sim Enhancer objects... ...!!
I now know California better than the folks who actually live there...trust me...!
The advantage of concentrating on one particular area... ...!

What different meshes and landclass packages do you have for California? During the MP session a while back, you took some nice screenshots. The mesh, and landclass with dense trees, a lot of autogen was incredible. What scenery packs, and where did you get them from?

Hi Andrew...
Everything is "Free-ware" from Simv/Flightsim/Avsim, except for my LAGO FSE scenery objects... ;D...!

I just keep my eye open for the latest bits and bobs for add-on effects....try them out...and if they look good, keep them... ;)...!
A good place to start for the mesh...>>>

...followed by downloaded Landclass and special scenery files for selected areas from SimV Scenery Files...
...not forgetting the latest "Tree" textures, Grass textures,  Airfield textures, and Autogen "Building" textures...!

Cheers Andrew...!

Paul...As real as it gets....(probably)...  8)...!

P.S. It's a shame that no-one else can see it during the Multi-player flights...Tee-Hee....... ... ...!

Try a sunset flight from Banff Alberta to Vancouver Intl. Get the Holger BC Mesh first, available here. Superb mountain ranges, lakes, a truly memorable route!  ;D

Here's a couple of screens of Juneau's Airport....

Cheers all,

Nice repaint!

Nice Woozy!

Since we are talking about Alaska,
Juneau to Ketchikan is awesome if you have the Misty Fjords & Ultimate terrain running.
Flying along the coast past Tongass National Park and into Ketchikan is a very nice ride!
Prop will take you a bit but a nice biz jet will get you there in about an hour. You can touch and go a few airports such as Sitka and enjoy the great scenery!

For Pure "eye candy" as it was put i don't think you can beat screaming down the Strip in Vegas in any type of plane you choose

That's my virtual home

How could you mention flying a jet around that area. Might as well fly at mach 3 at 60k feet

It's best in small, slow, and noisy aircrafts

This post seems to appear every few weeks...and what else to say other than the great Pacific Northwest? Switzerland is pretty nice too and for some reason I always found Mt. Kilimanjaro quite interesting. I dunno, but such a large rock out in the middle of flatsville (it sticks out like a sore thumb) always amazed me. It's pretty nice scenery out there too.

Juneau's approach is more difficult than normal in a large plane, as there's some hill before hand, so the approach usually needs to be steeper than normal, at least it seems so for me.  

Fozzer, it's my neck of the woods you fancy eh?  About Locarno, I think I got it from you, but yes, lovely area, even with default mesh & airport.

One thing about Alaska - I'm kinda glad that FS9 'real weather' isn't realistic enough to change the temperature in your livingroom!

Yes, tricky approach at Juneau:-




But it's climbing out over those mountains after takeoff that can be really hair-raising:-

I like to fly out of Innsbruck Austria particularily at dawn. I think the hymalains, western canada and alaska are brilliant also. I love to fly Dino's F-14 through the canyons, recently I changed my F-14 CFG file, I bumped up the stability to 3 and gave it a whole lot more attitude and speed. Man I love that plane. I know it may not be what a true purist would agree with but there is just something about flying through tight canyons at mach 1.87 that I find amazing.

[Foxtrot Sport]

My bad Nav, I meant coming in the other way.

...there is just something about flying through tight canyons at mach 1.87 that I find amazing.

I agree! I usually use the X-29 by Kazunori Ito (found at SimV) when I want to get my kerosene and adrenaline fix. Not quite supersonic, but still a blast.

CANADA!!! CANADA!!! CANADA!!! We have the best all round senery from mountians, prairies, cities, bush, and pretty much anything interesting you want to see! Cheers!
