May 25, 201214 yr Here's a few shots from my ongoing tour through Norway. This leg was from Tromso in the North to the capital Oslo on SAS B737-800. For the full report check out my blog: Nordic Expedition 4: SAS 4409 – TOS to OSL The city of Oslo
May 25, 201214 yr Nice shots! I'm currently flying in Sweden, next week going back up North within the Arctic Circle. These shots capture the general feel of Scandinavia pretty well. I actually caught that exact Boeing 737-800 last monday at Stockholm Arlanda: Edited May 25, 201214 yr by Propane picture in subsequent post
May 25, 201214 yr great how beautiful fs2004 can look although its almost 10 years old! RoyalSkies.CO.UK Youtube Vidz !My website will be back soon with new paints and videos!

May 25, 201214 yr Author Thanks everybody! I actually caught that exact Boeing 737-800 last monday at Stockholm Arlanda Great picture, what a coincidence! My last flight was to Longyearbyen (northernmost airport with scheduled service) in the sim, so I just got back from the Arctic Circle. great how beautiful fs2004 can look although its almost 10 years old! You're right. The flight before this one was in FSX (because FS9 didn't let me fly as far North as Spitsbergen without acting crazy), and apart from the water, higher-res textures (for example the HD VC of the NGX) and more autogen, it's not really that much of a difference. Most of this stuff is not really noticeable at all during an IFR-flight.
May 25, 201214 yr fsx? you should use the ngx then, its a huge difference to the ifly 737 RoyalSkies.CO.UK Youtube Vidz !My website will be back soon with new paints and videos!

May 25, 201214 yr Author fsx? you should use the ngx then, its a huge difference to the ifly 737 It was just this one time. I'll stick with good 'ole FS9 for the moment. And while the NGX indeed is a great bird, the iFly is fantastic too. Apart from the higher resolution VC there really isn't that much of a difference between the two.

My last flight was to Longyearbyen (northernmost airport with scheduled service) in the sim, so I just got back from the Arctic Circle. It's quite weird, spending some time up there. At this time of year you can look out the window at 01:00 and find that it's actually lighter outside then it was at 23:00. It just doesn't get dark. I just had a long flying day, from 14:00 until arriving at the hotel at 3:00 local time, and I haven't seen night yet, just the sun dipping behind the horizon for a little while before coming back :-P. Really takes some getting used to, and then to imagine how it must be even farther up north.

My northernmost real travel was to Bergen last month. They already sold postcards of the sun "bouncing"-off the horizon, instead of going down completely. A friend told me that you only have to drive 1 hour North from Bergen to witness that. I imagine it's hard to sleep in the summer, with the sun never going down...
May 26, 201214 yr Wait, so you're going there for real? I thought you were talking about you sim-flights. Yes, for real, haha. I've started a job about a month and a half ago for a company that has several routes in Sweden. Most are government funded to keep those regions easily reachable. For instance, a leg that takes us only 8 minutes by plane is a 55 minute drive. One of them is just above the arctic circle, about 200km north of that imaginary line.
