I think you found the sweet spot in XP11 for colors/lighting/atmospheric scattering. Your screenshots always look very realistic.

I like photographing a lot, so I have a certain look in my mind, regarding the white balance, the colour temperature, the dynamic range, etc. And with access to certain parameters in X-Plane (and the use of MaxxFX), and a lot of experimenting, I come pretty close to what I can see in my photos. It might not be for everybody, but I really like this look, and I think, XP‘s superior lighting system makes it pretty easy to get there. For me personally, it’s a very important factor when it comes to immersion.

BTW, how did you land?  Did you make a 180 turn after descending?  Tight turn I'd guess!

Wow, these are incredible!

You fly a little further down the valley, and there you have the opportunity to make a 180, steep, and only possible in best VFR conditions, but doable! ;-)

Thanks a lot everybody for commenting! I love flying over the alps, and the vFlyteAir Arrow III is a fantastic bird!

Thx for commenting! Yeah, flying along these valleys is so much fun! I completely forget that I’m sitting in front of a flat screen on my desk in these moments... ;-)
