I just love the extent of detail that was put into the fractured ice flows. The different colors denoting the changes in depth of the crystal clear water. And you can even land on them. What more would one want?

 

I can only say Magnificent!

Yep! And great shots too!!!!

I've yet to fly Alaska in winter, it does look great! I'm kinda waiting for the long winter nights to experience it in it's fullness. :) I'm a bit odd that way lol

Magnificent! If it wasn`t for the HUD you would think they were photos of the real thing.

I don't seem convinced, though they DO look like they are moving. Once question I'd like to as is... are you sure you're not flying forward, which makes it look like the ice is moving? Or is that that you are just flying around in circles and the crystals are actually moving?

^{Don't know what you are taking about there. I was at around 3,000 ft and making around 75 knts.}

We're you flying forward or were you flying in circles?

Of course I was flying forward!

Landing on an ice flow, such a fantasy!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Best regards.

Who said they are moving? :mellow:

thought i read something bout them being able to move. my bad.

Well they are ice flows , as in movement. So yes they would be moving.

Well, technically, they are ice floes. The origin of the term is in that they are a floating layer of ice, not flowing ice. :p0304:

 

But yes, they should move with the wind and currents. But does Flight model that, or are they simply stationary objects?

Well yes, your term is correct. it should have been floes not flows. I guess you would have to land on one and sit there for a few days and see if it moved any. That would be a project! How about it Luis?

Landing on a flow is just a fantasy (or a typo :P ), but I have landed on floes in Alaska:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But, I took right off because that headwind was ... blowing me backwards off the floe. I was flowing off the floe! :lol: So, I didn't stick around to see if it moved.

 

Best regards.
