Moscow to Berlin, part 1

[bernd1151 5,857]

I did this flight last Saturday night, but when I saw today the fantastic Moscow screenies of HL, I redid the first part of my flight in order to include a few Moscow screenies myself. I hope, HL, you do not mind.

 

We take off in the venerable Tu-154 from Vnukovo (UUWW). Vnukovo is the third largest, but oldest airport of Moscow and can handle, after being upgraded in 2003 and 2010, some 30 mio passengers annually. It is located around 30 km south-west of Moscow’s city center.

 

This part 1 sees us making a stop-over in Warsaw, capital of Poland. Tomorrow we will continue the flight to Berlin, but in a different plane.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Red Square with the Kremlin comes up

 

 

As one can see, this is just the freeware low polygon demo version. If you want to see it in much crisper detail, you have to head over to HL’s thread. There you can see it in all its glory

 

Ok, let’s go west, young man

 

 

Whoever did this livery did a fantastic job (if I remember correctly I downloaded it around two years ago from the Russian avsim site, and had then completely forgotten about it, because I haven’t used the Tu-154 in a long time)

 

By now we have already crossed the Ukrainian border with Poland and are on our final leg into Warsaw’s Chopin airport

 

 

 

More Warsaw city shots will be shown tomorrow

 

 

 

Thanks for viewing

Sweet shots! If I had to choose between the two cities, I'll go to Moskva.

As it seems, Moscow is the new destination to fly to. And rightly so!

It seems that the demo of DD's scenery contains only the inner city around red square?

 

And ty the way Bernd, which Tu-154 model do you use?

 

In another thread you asked for the users of DD's Moscow and Warsaw city sceneries. As FS9 user, I have no possibility for Moscow but I definitely can recommend the Warsaw scenery. The FSX/P3D version shouldn't be worse...

Hi Harald,

 

I don't have the DD Moscow payware version, so I don't know, how far it really spreads. But DD says that the demo version contains the same as the payware one, only with much lower polygons. So taking it from there, both should be the same I guess. And when I fly over Moscow city with the DD scenery disabled, it doesn't look the same, so the coverage is really bigger than just the inner city around the red square. The prominent new high rises for example are not part of the inner city, but they also display nicely in the demo version.

 

I use the T-154B v.2 model of Tibor Kykai. It works fine in P3D 3.35

 

The DD Warsaw demo version you can see tomorrow on my flight to Berlin  :wink:
