Here is a set of shots i took today on my rotation to Edinburgh from London Gatwick.

 

Initially i only started snapping the shots on the approach to Edinburgh so there is no London departure etc shots.

 

Lets get to it.......

 

Basically on the base leg for RWY 06.

 

Right bank to intercept the LOC

 

LOC intercepted, tracking to capture the G/S

 

Down she goes.....G/S captured

 

Quite scenic up in this part of the world with FTXG

 

I had to cut a few shots due to 15 shot limit, sorry no touch down.....DOCF on the turn around with refuelling and cleaning services in full swing

 

And we are off again. Out of RWY 06 and its a left hand bank to intercept the 259 to Glasgow VOR

 

Climbing on the 259 to GOW and passing a lovely red bridge (please enlighten me to the name somebody )

 

After a short cruise we are on out way down over the West Midlands area

 

Vectors provied by Gatwick Director for a short cut to RWY 26. Getting dark now.............

 

Base leg, airport is off to the left side

 

Another ILS landing.....need to get about somemore!

 

CMD A and B armed. I rarely let the AP take the aircraft all the way down and hand fly most approaches but tonight was different. Hopefully she was configured correctly.

 

 

After an extremly long roll out i vacated right at the end of 26L!

 

I hope you enjoyed it. It was a great little run and nice to see more of FTXG which i have only just bought.

 

Thanks

 

 

Really Nice shots!

The red bridge is the Forth Rail Bridge. An engineering masterpiece  :smile:

Nice sequence of screen shots you have taken.

 

The red bridge is the Forth railway bridge which is to the east of the Forth road bridge both of which span the Firth of Forth linking Edinburgh with Fife.

Ah, Forth bridge! Thanks for the comments.

How does ORBX global interact with FTX UK?

Is it the same thing or two different?

Beautiful shots!

They are different. FTX UK is a location specific add-on, and is of much higher resolution and quality with more attention to detail. ORBX FTX Global changes the entire world, but not on the scale of say FTX UK, but it is for sure an improvement over stock FSX textures.

Great set of shot,s ,I have flown that route many times , I love the Orbx UK scenery ,I feel that it greatly improved  my P3d flying experience ,it,s as real as I want

Ahh, so they didn't put in the new bridge....

Thanks for the comments.

 

This is just FTX global, not using ORBX UK.

Awsome
