Hi all

 

I am beginning a series of flights, exploring the south side of Alaska. Basically, from Juneau to Anchorage.

 

No heavy metal here, no FMC, ILS... But a good old Porter, prepared flight routes, and a GPS.

 

I try to favor small airports and better, muddy / sloppy strips.

 

My first flight was from Juneau to Skagway. Expecting to admire the Juneau's ice fields glaciers. But I rather experienced bad weather. Lesson number 1 : I will have to adapt to the weather... Instead of magnificent glaciers, I was surrounded with threatening clouds, lashing and ice-cold rain. And 3/4 of my flight was at 10 000 feets, well above the clouds... As a compensation, the approach to Skagway at dusk was incredible.

 

I'll post videos of my flights, departure / remarkable spots / arrival.

 

For the technical part : FSD Pilatus + FTX NA SAK + DX10 scenery fixer + OpusFSX and everything else freeware (clouds, sun, etc)

 

But for now, all I have to share are a few screens. If some of you are interested I'll post pictures / videos of my future flights here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes, keep us informed.  Wonderful and atmospheric shots.

 

"Honest airplanes have propellers."

Should be some great flights.  Nice idea.

I love making flights like that too, just wonderful atmosphere!

 

 

everything else freeware (clouds, sun, etc)

 

What freeware textures do you use?

- clouds : HDE v2 from Pablo Diaz

- sky : Sky Textures for ENB Series (misleading, because it perfectly works without ENB) by Gabriel Rodrigues

- sun : mod SUN FX by SirFlight (look for Mod_SunFX_By_SirFlight.rar)

 

Thanks to all for your comments

Thanks going to give them a try.

Very nice! If you have more Alaska pictures, sharing them would be great.
