Holiday

This "holiday preparation" thread inspired me to also post some pictures.

X-Plane (livery download)

 

The real one, which I took in Nov. 2013 during holiday in FAGG (George, South Africa).

Nice shot! And people complain that X-Plane colors are too dull! Seems to me the reality is duller than flight sims. :-)

Ha!! That's exactly what I also thought, when making the screenshot. Thus I tried to reduce the visibility with the appropriate slider in XP (11 pb15, by the way) to get a more dull impression, but then the draw distance of the clouds is also very short, what doesn't look great.

Possibly there is a dataref which you can manipulate without affecting the draw distance of the clouds. I assume it would have been also possible to manipulate a dataref for the clouds not being this dark, but I neither had the time nor the patience to search.

Nice comparison! I hope you had a great time. In exactly one week, i`m hopefully able to make also a comparison shot
