December 19, 201114 yr Hi !Default Kingair C90 around lake Leman, often incorrectly called lake Geneva. Unedited shots from X-plane 10; the scenery was created in XP 9 with G2XPL. Big improvement from v9, especially the lighting with HDR on, the nice clouds, and increased visibility! I noted that cloud shadows behave a bit strangely, which is probably a bug. I'm using OSM2XP scenery (buildings taken from OpenStreetMap), also build in v9, as shown in shots above Lausanne and Montreux.X-plane 10 runs pretty well on my machine. (Ubuntu 32bits, quad core, 4Gb ram, Geforce 560Ti 2Gb). I can't max out everything though, especially autogen and shadowstoghether, because my PCIe port is only 8x (PCIe 1.0 16x = PCIe 2.0 8x). Will probably change my motherboard as well.Enjoy the view !Going down to land at LSGL (Lausanne-La Blécherette)and finally my best landing ever on a non-flat runway ! I can't record a video right now, so you will have to take my word. ;)Bye !Pascal

December 19, 201114 yr Author Is this the lake with geneva at the other end? and pic 5 shows the vally leading to sion?yes and yes ! it's the Rhone valley which goes deep into the Alps.Btw, how was breaking on touch down?...only from the last pic the right rear gear is missing half a disc break :(hey man, you're quite right, I didn't look at all the details. In fact I was helped by the runway going up. Go figure: if I used FSX I would be dead right now, because there the runway would be flat ! :(

December 19, 201114 yr wow, now THAT's how the world is looking from above! RoyalSkies.CO.UK Youtube Vidz !My website will be back soon with new paints and videos! "I love walking in the rain cause no one can see my crying" "Those who enter the field for the sole purpose of impressing others with their aeronautical knowledge can never be true aviators."
December 19, 201114 yr Both very good and realistic. I wouldn't say X-P shoots are not how world is looking from above...EDIT: if someone here started posting X-P screenshots in reply to FSX screenshots of the original poster, he would be accused of having a provocative attitude I guess... "Society has become so fake that the truth actually bothers people".
December 19, 201114 yr Author Thanks Darryl !@Murmur: I prefer to post screenshots than take part in the endless fights in Avsim X-plane forum. Btw, I didn't take Spook's posting as excessively provocative, but who knows ? Spook ?
