SUMMA7 Departure, million dollar view

Featured Replies

Apologies if my screen shots all seem to be variations on the same subject matter, but sometimes you get that one shot that makes you go "Wow!" and makes you want to share, despite the fact that you've posted shots of the same scenery feature several times over. This was was taken from a coach seat on the 777 Worldliner for X-Plane 10 while flying the SUMMA7 departure out of Seattle on a hazy morning. Enjoy!

No apologies needed. That's a super shot!

Great shot on any platform!

Yep. I flew this about a month ago and had the same reaction. Don't mind flying that departure at all.

Absolutely jaw dropping...

Thanks everyone! X-Plane's renderer and excellent mesh (in most areas, sorry Rio!) can really make for beautiful and almost photorealistic images. Anyone who has the sim, I would encourage you to take an early sunset flight over the Alps in northern Italy. I'll probably do just that when I get home and put up some new shots.

Thanks, Georges! It's default. I'd like to try the HD mesh, but I'm afraid if I do, my computer will explode. :D

When I opened this thread and saw the screenshot, I thought that on the screenshot is presented some of the fantastic orbx scenery. But that is Xplane default scenery?!....Spectacular! :Applause:

Really like the shot! I flew the sae departure yesterday, and it was foggy. Looked super cool, but not as good as that. :Peace:

ORBX- the way to go

Sincerely, John McGee

very nice, i think the ACE and X-Plane teams should team up and produce together, I would definatly buy X-Plane with a MS FS interface o_O

Since X-Plane 10.10, there's an optional startup screen where you can select the airport, the plane and the weather. ^_^
