Above lake Leman - Alps - X-Plane 10

[Pascal_LSGC 298]

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

Not bad not bad :)Is this the lake with geneva at the other end? and pic 5 shows the vally leading to sion?Btw, how was breaking on touch down?...only from the last pic the right rear gear is missing half a disc break :(

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 ! :(

wow, now THAT's how the world is looking from above!

[Pascal_LSGC 298]

@ Spookyeah, that's the place ;)

[Guest]

That is spectacular...best I've seen from XP10.Darryl

[Murmur 3,941]

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...

[Pascal_LSGC 298]

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 ?
