July 1, 20196 yr The East African Rift Valley is a series of contiguous geographic trenches that runs from the Red Sea to Tanzania. A beautiful part of it is “Simien Mountains Nat. Park” (the red dot), located in Ethiopia with Mount Ras Dashan its highest elevation. The nearest airport is Gonder (the red dot again), southwest of it. Making such a trip in default P3D or XP11 is somewhat boring, as the scenery does in no way reflect reality. Luckily, this is a bit different with Ortho4XP Early in the morning in Gonder. A lonely tour bus can be spotted in the distance Thanks for viewing Any attempt to stretch fuel is guaranteed to increase headwinds My specs: AMD Radeon RX6700XT, AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, 32GB RAM, 34" monitor, screen resolution: 2560x1080
July 1, 20196 yr Nice set of screenshots and I love the iivery. What aircraft is that, and where can you get it? I love Bush aircraft in Xplane11.... John
July 1, 20196 yr These are great impressions of an area rarely seen as screenshots. Btw: Did the little Dornier really master the altitude? Regards, Harald Harald Geyer Gründer der Messerschmitt Freunde Dresden v. V.
July 1, 20196 yr Nice screenshots. That's the beauty of ortho scenery. You can REALLY explore - seeing places and things you have never seen before. Martin Sims: MSFS 2020, MSFS 2024 and X-plane 11 Home Airport: CYCW - Chilliwack, BC Canada i5 13600KF 32GB DDR4 3600 RAM, RTX3080TI Meta Quest 3
July 2, 20196 yr Lovely stuff Bernd. You've got me thinking now - which would take longer I wonder, flying from Cairo to the Cape in the Ju-52 or making the ortho tiles for the corridor to fly over?

July 2, 20196 yr Great pictures of this interesting region, Bernd, and, of course, excellent adaptation of Ortho scenery! Also, love the Zebra livery of this Do27...a fitting and natural match here!
